What is Reiki?

Reiki, a holistic healing method originating in Japan in the early 20th century, derives its name from the Japanese words "rei," meaning universal, and "ki," meaning life energy or vital force. When combined, Reiki translates to "universal life energy" or "spiritually guided life force energy." The word has also been translated as ‘Mysterious Power’, ‘Transcendental Spirit’ and ‘Essence’. Once the Reiki practitioner has been ‘Attuned’ to one of three levels (degrees) of healing energy, they act as a ‘Channel’ to deliver the energy through their body and out via the hands to facilitate healing on all levels - mind, body and spirit. Some believe that the Reiki Attunements amplify or re-awaken our natural healing abilities. At its essence, Reiki is rooted in the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living beings, fostering balance, harmony, and well-being. When this energy is blocked or low, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances or illness. Practitioners of Reiki aim to channel this life force energy to facilitate healing and restore equilibrium in the recipient. Reiki and Seichem are activated through intention, with practitioners placing their hands on or above the area of treatment to transfer energy from the universal Life Force through a Channel to the recipient. The practitioner serves as a facilitator of healing rather than the source of healing, directing the energy to general body areas while letting it flow where needed for healing and unblocking stagnation, thereby preserving their own energy. While Reiki does not replace traditional medical care, it is commonly used as a complementary therapy to enhance overall health and healing. It can be seamlessly integrated into various wellness routines, including massage therapy, yoga, meditation, and energy healing. Beyond its physical and emotional benefits, Reiki is seen as a spiritual discipline that nurtures personal growth and self-awareness. Reiki is a gentle yet potent healing technique that operates holistically to reinstate balance and harmony across all levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It provides a safe and supportive environment for relaxation, revitalization, and self-exploration, empowering individuals to access their inherent healing abilities and embrace life more fully.

Tracing its roots back to ancient Egypt, Seichem emerges from the belief in the flow of healing energy stemming from the elemental forces of earth, fire, water, and air. In antiquity, Egyptian healers tapped into these energies to foster health and well-being in individuals. The modern resurgence of Seichem can be attributed to Patrick Zeigler in the late 20th century. Zeigler ingeniously combined these elemental energies with traditional Reiki principles, birthing a holistic healing system.

Elements of Seichem:

Reiki (Earth): Serving as the EARTH element within Seichem, Reiki energy embodies a third-dimensional manifestation of the Earth element, omnipresent across the universe's dimensions. This energy, akin to the planet's surface, can manifest as either warmth or coolness. It serves as a foundational energy, benefiting both physical and emotional health, and acts as a conduit for the other elemental rays.

Sakara (Fire): The transformative force of FIRE finds its expression in Sakara energy within Seichem. This energy facilitates healing on emotional and mental planes, dissolving negative emotions, traumas, and limiting beliefs. Sensations of warmth and tingling akin to a gentle electrical current accompany its application. Sakara excels in cleansing the electromagnetic aura and chakras, burning through energetic blockages.

Sophi-El (Water): Sophi-El energy within Seichem aligns with the WATER element, embodying the fluidity and adaptability synonymous with water. Operating on emotional and spiritual realms, it fosters emotional equilibrium, inner tranquility, and spiritual enlightenment. Sensations may range from gentle, wave-like coolness to intense coldness akin to ice. Sophi-El facilitates emotional and sexual healing, opening the heart to love and compassion while delving deep into the emotional body to address core disturbances. Additionally, it enhances the healer's psychic awareness.

Angelic Light (Air): Representing the element of AIR, Angelic Light energy within Seichem embodies divine guidance and heightened consciousness from the angelic realm. This energy promotes clarity, insight, and spiritual alignment, aiding individuals in connecting with their spiritual purpose and receiving guidance. Enhanced Third Eye perceptions are a hallmark, often accompanied by sensations of distant healing and gentle breezes during client sessions.

The Violet Flame is a distinctive spiritual ray among the seven spiritual light rays, each embodying specific divine qualities. Originating from the Violet Ray, the Violet Flame represents mercy, forgiveness, freedom, and transmutation, which involves transforming negativity into positivity. This flame aims to restore harmony and balance, with Saint Germain, the Ascended Master overseeing the 7th Ray. Legend has it that the Violet Flame was bestowed upon humanity during the era of Atlantis and later withdrawn. However, during the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, the collective prayers of numerous Light Workers led Saint Germain to grant dispensation for its return.

The Violet Flame functions through alchemy, converting denser energies into lighter ones. It aligns with the Crown Chakra, the seventh chakra symbolizing higher consciousness and spiritual connection. When activated, the Violet Flame envelops both the practitioner and the recipient, purifying and transmuting their energy fields and surroundings. Essentially, the Violet Flame elevates the vibrational frequency of negative energy patterns like fear, anger, and resentment. By focusing on intention and visualization, practitioners harness the Flame's transformative power to dissolve these lower vibrations and replace them with qualities such as love, compassion, and harmony. Utilizing the Violet Flame in energy healing sessions requires a blend of intention, visualization, and energetic alignment.
