Let Sekhem All-Love Move Through the Whole Body

Return Through the Ages to Source

Continue the age-by-age return all the way to birth. Begin at seventy-three and count backward, allowing yourself to become each age. If you are younger than the age being named, move into that age as a future experience. As the count passes sixty, fifty, forty, thirty and twenty, pause to feel what it is like to be there. Notice what is happening in your life and allow yourself to remember.

At the teenage years, let yourself remember being seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen and thirteen. At twelve, feel the heart of that little boy or little girl. Continue through the younger ages, breathing into the experience. Feel the four-year-old, and lie down if needed. Move through three, two, one, and then go to birth.

At birth, feel the connection to your mother. Allow yourself to feel the mother's feelings about giving birth to you and about you coming into the world. Feel the father and how the father feels about you coming into the world.

Move into the womb, right before birth. Notice how your mother feels about being pregnant with you and how your father feels about you coming. Count backward through nine months, eight, seven, six, five, four, three and two months. Go to the time when your mother first realizes she is pregnant with you, and notice how she feels about being pregnant. Go to the time when the father finds out, and notice how he feels about you coming.

Move through one month and go to conception. Allow yourself to feel what the energy is like between your mother and father at the time of conception. Then move your awareness to the time before conception. Allow yourself to remember why you chose this mother and father and why you chose this earthly experience. Go all the way back to Source, to Peace, to who you are. Feel what it is like to be home again, and bring the experience home into the body.

The movement through the ages is followed by the simple sound and recognition of All Love: All Love, love, love, love. Let the experience return to the body rather than remaining only in memory or vision.

Respect the Body's Protective Response

When an acute chest injury occurs, stay still and relax rather than repeatedly testing the painful movement. The body may tighten around an injury so that it is not moved. This tightening functions like a self-cast, telling you not to move the area.

A visible bruise is not required for pain to be real. If there may be a crack, medical evaluation can at least clarify what is happening. A cracked rib may heal on its own, although care may include avoiding excessive bending and using a brace if appropriate. The practical priority is to rest and avoid aggravating the injury.

Sharing: A participant described being struck hard in the chest when another person suddenly threw their head back. The participant had been careful the previous night to keep the shoulders back and move sideways, but during the morning, ordinary movements repeatedly pulled the shoulders forward and made the pain considerably worse. The participant compared it with a previous cracked rib that had been confirmed by an X-ray, when they had been told not to do a lot of bending.

Response: Remain in the chair, relax, and do not do anything that increases the pain. If a nearby medical center is closed, check what other care is available. Even if little can be done beyond confirming the injury and supporting the body's healing, knowing whether there is a crack can matter. Do not assume that the absence of bruising means that nothing is wrong.

Offer Reiki Without Forcing Movement

A participant asked whether Reiki could be offered because it felt calming. Permission was given, and the energy work became the appropriate immediate support while the person rested. Several people could offer gentle support, but the injured body remained the priority.

Close the eyes and relax. Let the energy come in. Keep attention on the body's response rather than trying to force an outcome. If movement begins, especially shaking, notice whether it hurts. The person receiving the work should say if the movement aggravates the injury, and the energy work should not become another source of strain.

The intention is not to override the body's protective response. Stay present with the pain, the stillness and the energy together. Let the body show what it can safely receive.
