Sekhem: Sekhem Healing: Boundaries, Sensitivity and Restoring Balance

Beginning a Sekhem Healing Session

A Sekhem healing session begins by identifying what you want to receive and what you want to work on. Sometimes the process moves naturally and easily. At other times, something needs attention before the energy can move more freely.

The session may include dialogue. Speak in the present moment, as you are speaking now. If something needs to be said to another person, speak directly to that person in the present moment. Let yourself laugh, cry or express whatever arises.

Choose a comfortable place to sit. If you are outdoors, a person nearby may simply assume that you are talking on the phone. At the end of the session, lie down if you can. Lying down gives the body space to do what it needs to do.

A session can work on several levels. It may help bring the mind into greater clarity, allow an emotional release or become a full spiritual experience. Physical vibration can arise on the physical level. Emotion can arise on the emotional level. Mental clarity can arise on the mental level. Sometimes the experience becomes spiritual, with a sense of moving into another dimension. Do not force any particular result. Allow the body and the experience to unfold.

Naming What Feels Blocked

Question: A participant described feeling unsure and distressed. She said that she had developed an intense relationship with a neighbor and felt that the neighbor was trying to silence her. She said she could hardly walk, had been receiving what she called psychic attacks and could not sleep. She had asked for healing, but after receiving a healing session from another practitioner, she felt that her entire body had changed. In her words, her crown chakra and womb felt blocked, and she felt energetically paralysed. Because she also considered herself a healer, she felt lost about why this was happening.

She described the experience as overwhelming and said that she had not known how to share it. She also said that, since the other healing session, she had experienced what she called sexual psychic attacks. She did not know whether they were connected to the session or to another person. She described feeling as though someone was having sex with her while she slept, and said that she was frightened.

Response: Energy work can first help identify what is happening. The earlier session may have helped identify two areas that felt blocked to her. The immediate task is not to force an explanation, but to notice what is being experienced and where it is felt.

Because the experience felt unsafe at home, she chose to be in a park where she felt safer and could lie down. The setting matters when the body needs room to express itself. A place that feels more comfortable can support the next stage of the work.

Sensitivity, Perception and the Energy Field

A person may visualize another person and imagine a sexual experience with them. Someone who is very sensitive may perceive that visualization. This possibility can be acknowledged without turning the perception into certainty about what another person has actually done.

Patrick Zeigler also made a distinction about the other practitioner involved in the participant's account. He trusted that practitioner's work and regarded him as a good man, while also recognizing that he was a lonely man. The participant had been told that she was attractive, and she understood that a person might have fantasies about her. She said that she had never experienced anything at that level before.

The deeper teaching concerns the energy field. There may be something within a person that is open to receiving an experience, while another part of the person is not comfortable with it. The participant said that she felt uncomfortable because someone seemed to be entering her energy field without her permission.

The analogy used was simple. When you open your eyes and look at someone, you send energy through your attention. You do not normally ask permission before looking at a person in a park. You may notice that someone is attractive. In this sense, the idea of permission has limits. If someone is intensely imagining or envisioning another person, a sensitive person may pick up on it.

Within this teaching, the person is the one who opens the field and the one who closes the field. No one truly comes into the energy field unless there is something there that allows the experience to be received. This is not offered as a reason to dismiss discomfort. It is an invitation to become aware of sensitivity, perception and the ability to work with the field.

Question: The participant said that she did not know what was happening. She only knew that she did not feel comfortable at home because of her neighbor, whom she believed was trying to silence her, and that she was receiving what she called psychic attacks. She had come to the park because she felt safer there and could lie down.
