Introduction to the Seichim e-Training Guide
Welcome to the On-Line Seichim Training and Activity Manual. This page is an overview of
the manual and the different areas to be covered. Take your time and get confortable with the
symbols, meditations and materials.
This version of Seichim is sometimes called 7 Facet Seichim, Seichim Reiki or Renegade
Reiki. In this style of Seichim there are 7 Facets. In this course, each Facet is covered
seperately and there are activities, healing practices, and meditations to be done using
Seichim at each Facet. Therefore in each "level" in this Activity Manual you will find exercises
and meditations using the Seichim 7 Facet Symbols and various techniques. This will allow you,
the student of Seichim to experience the many varieties and ways of using this energy.
When reading this manual, it will become apparent to the Reiki Practitioner that the first
three Facets of Seichim use the Reiki Symbols. 7 Facet Seichim is a hybrid art of both Seichim
and Reiki. The 7 Facet Seichim attunements are Seichim attunements, using all the Seichim
Symbols along with the Reiki Symbols. It was taught to me that even though the Reiki Symbols
are used, the manifestation of the energy and the connection is Seichim.
It was taught to me that Seichim and Karuna are "different energy" than Reiki. Others
teach that Karuna and Seichim "vibrate"at a "higher level". Some teach that Seichim (or
Sekhem) and Karuna are a "higher vibrational" energies than Reiki. The claims are almost
endless. It is necessary to discuss here regarding this concept of separate "energies" as well
as what the Reiki system was for.
Reiki was Mikao Usui's awakening (i.e., enlightenment) system. Healing was not that big a
part of his original practices. That is not to say that Reiki does not heal but rather that his
emphasis was in spiritual awakening. As one practiced Hatsu Rei Ho (a self healing, self
empowering meditation), did Reiki on oneself , and lived the precepts one found happiness,
increased mental clarity and healed. Reiki was not some energy thing, as it now has become,
but a way of life that was healing and helped one to awaken to one's true nature. The meaning
of the system was symbolized by Dai Ko Myo.
For those who are Reiki masters reading this, to understand Dai Ko Myo is to understand
that it is the manifestation of awakening, in each and every moment. Dai Ko Myo is the
expression indicating the destruction of the darkness of delusion and the manifestation of the
reality-principle. It is an expression of praise of the unlimited and unimpeded light of
Amitaabha Buddha, where kou/ko is distinguished into the light of his wisdom and the light of
his form. Myo is the external manifest functioning expression of this wisdom. For more very
specific information regarding the symbols meaning in relation to the Reiki system, please visit
http://Reiki-do.org/letters/symbolsmeaning.htm (Reproduced here as Appendix 1)
Reiki was the complete expression of the energy of awakening. To think that it is partial, or
that there is some dichotomy of energies, misses the point completely. It is only possible to
discuss energies as being distinct and different if you accept duality. That is, that these
things are separate from a separate you.
A question needs to be asked what where the Reiki (or Karuna or seichim) energy "resides".
That is, where is it?
Is this something that is separate from you? If so, then where is it?
Is it something that you can control?
This is the problem with duality. To accept that these things are separate and different
acknowledges that there is a separate and distinct "you" who does Reiki (or Seichim or
Karuna).
Yet Reiki was about awakening to one's true nature. It was the transcendence of self, not
the build up of it. It was removing the veils of conditioning and attachment, reflecting perfectly
the expression of the perfect light that you are and always have been, and in so doing this
heals.
It was not about playing games with duality, and gathering energies unto oneself.
And so, in the context of a Seichim (or Karuna) manual, where does this leave us?
It leaves us with the idea that these after-Reiki additions are not necessary. They give
nothing more than we already have. They are simply another way of focusing on the universal
light. Some ways resonate more with some people than with others. But do not think that
somehow because there are more symbols, or less that this is better or worse.
The path to awakening is a simple one. When the Buddha was asked to sum up his
teachings in a single word, he replied "awareness."
Reiki is a path of simplicity. Next time you use Reiki, just be aware of it, breathe it in you,
through you, is you. (Note I didn't say "connect to", but "be aware of", an important
distinction). Just let that be, and flow, in awareness. Be mindful of it, on every breath. Where
are the symbols now? Do you really need more?
You know there are some teachers that teach that eventually you have to let it all go. It is
all the decorations on the walls of the Titanic. The boat is going down, best to lighten the load
now.
Reiki is simplicity. Something like
i Complete attention.
i Open heart, Gentle touch.
i No past, no future.
i No regrets, no fears, no expectations.
i Being Reiki.
And so as you read this, knowing that Reiki is an awakening system, you have to be
cognizant of the fact that to perpetually add more and more is the sign of a conditioned mind.
Wanting more tools to do the job, when only a few or none are needed is a crutch of ego. When
you are done tending the garden, you put the tools in the shed, you don't continue to carry
them with you.
Lastly, remember that people always talk of Reiki "knowing where to go and what to do". If
only they knew how right they really are and the full implication of what that really means they
wouldn't need anything else.
Facet One
Part One - Introduction to Seichim

What is Seichim ?
Seichim refers loosely to a group of energy healing and transformational systems that
were developed from the original practices of Patrick Zeigler in 1980. Patrick reported having
snuck in and stayed overnight in the Great Pyramid in 1979 or 1980. The description of his
experience was remarkably similar to two other written accounts of people that obtained the
permission of the Egyptian Government to spend the night in the Pyramid. Patrick reported
that he was struck with a powerful energy. In a very short period of time, he was attuned by a
Sufi Master in Khartoum. When he returned to the United States he studied Reiki with
Barbara Weber Ray. Seichim would then appear to be a combination of the Pyramid experience
energy, the Sufi empowerments, and Reiki.
The energy was called Seichim. This name was given it by a spirit named "Marat",
channeled by a friend of Patrick's. The energy was first passed on to several people, including
members of Patrick's family. T'om Seaman was the forth to receive these hybrid Reiki-
formatted Seichim attunements. T'om in turn attuned Ken Lowry and Phoenix Summerfield.
T'om Seaman, Ken Lowry, and Phoenix Summerfield working separately and together developed
the basics of this system. T'om and Ken's system was called "Reiki Seichim, Seichim Reiki,
Renegade Reiki, or 7 Facet Seichim".
Seichim is a healing system not unlike Reiki. It was an energy, drawn from the limitless
source of the universe. Seichim was thought to be a living light energy. It can be accessed in a
variety of ways. Some systems utilize attunements, other initiations. Some utilize symbols and
others do not, or they are optional. The system has changed with almost everyone that has
come into contact with it for any length of time. The energy is thought to be
"transformational" in nature. It is used both to heal, as well as to help accelerate your
personal development and help achieve your true potential.
There are a variety of names used to describe this energy depending on which system that
you learn. Seichim is the generic term, and is used by almost all the systems . "Seichim"
(note the "im") can indicate the Seichim Reiki or 7 facet system described in this manual or
Phoenix Summerfield's system. "Seichem" (note the "em") refers to Kathleen Milner's Tera Mai
Seichem. Sekhem refers to Helen Belot's practices that include the goddess Sekhmet. There
is also Isis Seichim and Archangelic Seichim. SKHM refers to Patrick's most recent
development of the system.
Seichim is theorized to have been around for a very long time. There is, however, no
evidence to support this. There is no historical evidence that Seichim, or any hands-on healing
system ever existed in ancient Egypt. Although there are references to "SKHM" in the
Egyptian Book of the Dead, those are references to a place of power the spirit goes after
death and not a healing or transformational energy. The idea that Seichim is an ancient
energy comes from the channeled spirit "Marat" and from other channeled sources.

Where did Seichim come from?


Seichim is the name for an energy healing and self-transformational system. It was
originally received by Patrick Zeigler in 1980. This occurred while he was in the Peace Corps and
traveling in Egypt. Finding "Seichim" involved two separate experiences separated by one day.
The first involved Patrick sneaking into the Great Pyramid and spending the night. Patrick's
own description of the experience in the pyramid can be read here Pyramid Experience.
(Appendix Two) In very short order, he received Zikir from Sufi Master Osman Brahani in
Khartoom. He also learned Reiki from Barbara Weber Ray.
Patrick describes his experience in meeting the Sufi and his experience with them in the
following quote: "That afternoon I went to the Saidna Hussein Mosque, and a woman came to
me and asked if I could help her find her Sufi Teacher. Since I speak some Arabic we were able to
locate his center in short time. We stayed there a week, and they taught us Zikir. Then they
gave us both Airfare to go to Khartoum Sudan where their Master lived. While I was there he
passed on to me the final attunement of his order. Afterwards I found that if I became ill I
could place my hands on my heart and belly my body would begin to vibrate and the illness
would pass. I was also having OBE's once a week. I had no idea what he had given to me, he
instructed me to stay in my heart and visualize the light." The Infinity symbol and the focus on
enlightenment through the heart is common to many Sufi traditions.
Seichim has grown into many systems world wide. This system is Seichim Reiki or 7 Facet
Seichim. Phoenix Summerfield's system was called "Seichim". Helen Bleot practices was she
called "Sekhem", and Patrick himself practices what he calls "SKHM “(pronounced say-k'him).
Some of the confusion regarding the history of Seichim is likely due to no history being
taught in the early days of Seichim and the focus on experiential methods. Patrick describes
this in the following quote:
"The intent of Seichim was to keep it simple and not include lots of conflicting information
that people tend to cling on to. This is why when I originally taught, no history was ever taught.
The original classes were not informational-based at all. There was no lecture or explanation
on how things worked. The class was completely experiential. We usually started with a silent
meditation then some guided meditation, from there we did some toning and then exchanged
attunement, usually a group on one pattern was used, this way when someone received an
attunement it was not done by one individual, but rather the whole group gave it. Tom Seaman
was one of the early recipients to have received this style of attunement. He came into our
community and attended a few of our nightly classes. He was taught only the attunement
process and then continued his travels. This is where most of the confusion came in over the
history, because he had no other information except the attunement process. Phoenix later
received these attunements and eventually contacted me. I told her about how Seichim
started in Egypt and how it eventually went to India and Tibet and eventually reached Japan.
This was some of what Marat had confirmed for me. He even mention how it was used in
Atlantis. I decided not to include this because of the confusion it may bring up."
How is Seven Facet Seichim Different?
Seichim Reiki is an art that was developed by Tom Seaman and Ken Lowry. The energy was
discovered by Patrick Ziegler, and was some combination of energies from the pyramid
experience and the Sufi empowerments, combined with Reiki. The Seichim Reiki, 7 Facet
Seichim, or "Renegade Reiki", system was developed by Tom Seaman and Ken Lowry. The
system itself added in an infinity meditation, and 5 new symbols. These symbols were to help
you develop internally and to balance your energy.
Seichim or Seichim Reiki was one of the first formalized systems of Seichim, the other two
being Patrick's practices which were experiential and Phoenix Summerfield's (aka Kathleen
MacMasters) Seichim system. The Seichim Reiki system was developed by Tom Seaman and
Ken Lowry. The Seichim Reiki is a system that used Reiki, Sufi Energy and Seichim as the
foundation and added in 5 extra symbols. This system had 7 Facets or levels. The system used
meditative practices, and other techniques in addition to the traditional Reiki material.
Part Two - History and Contemporary Views

As described above, Seichim is an energy that was developed by Patrick Ziegler and passed
with Reiki in its original form. This energy was molded into the 7 Facet Seichim that you are
presently learning by Tom Seaman and Ken Lowry. There are some that claim that Seichim has
been around for a very long time and that it existed in Ancient Egypt, Atlantis and Lemuria. It
should be pointed out that this relies on "Channeled" information.
(A humorous side note: Swami Beyondananda, in his "GUIDELINES FOR ENLIGHTENMENT"
pointed out, "...[with channeling], if you don't like it, it's not my fault. And remember,
enlightenment is not a bureaucracy. So, we don't have to go through channels.")
As proof of the contention that Seichim is ancient, it is often discussed that "Sekhem" is
mentioned in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and other sacred Egyptian texts. After discussing
this on the phone with an Egyptologist, I was told that the references to Seichim/Sekhem in
the Egyptian Book of the Dead refer to this place of power (that one goes after death) and not
to a hands-on healing method or energy connection method. Atlantis and Lemuria, if they
existed, took their secrets with them and although it makes interesting uncheckable
speculation, it is not verifiable by even the most liberal review of historical evidence.
Asked as to who the Lineage Bearer of Seichim/SKHM is, Patrick emphasizes that it is
very much a group-oriented energy and that he is in agreement with both Tom and Phoenix that
it should not in any way be separated. He considers all the branches to be part of what SKHM
is today and refers to himself as the Founder of SKHM as he is the one who originally
rediscovered it, but rejects the term Lineage Bearer, as the nature of the energy to him is
more holographic than linear.
Part Three - Meditations

Infinity Meditation
See the living light energy above and see it come around you. Allow it to flow around your
body and begin to cleanse and energize the fields of energy around you and cleanse and
energize the aura. Breath in the light into the lungs. From there, see the light energy move into
the heart, and then spread throughout the whole body. See and know that the living light
energy removes all that is not in your highest good and transmutes it into light. See the
infinity sign above the crown and let the infinity flow into the crown and then breath it down
into the heart. Let the light fill and energize you completely.
Place your hands in the namaste position before the heart. Breath in the balance of the
light, breathing in balance and harmony. Focus on the energy flowing in and bringing balance to
all parts of your body and mind. Continue this for a time. When you are ready, give thanks and
gratitude for the gift shared you, and slowly bring yourself back up to normal consciousness.
*Namaste Position: Gassho is a common practice in many eastern traditions. It is called
"Namaste" in the Indo-Tibetan traditions. Gassho is holding the hands clasped in a prayer
position at about the level of the chest. In Reiki, Gassho is formally practiced by sitting on the
floor or on a chair. The hands are in the prayer clasped position with the middle fingers
touching in front of the chest. The eyes are closed. The Reiki precepts are said (For today only
do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, do your work with appreciation, be kind to all people).
The middle fingers touch as this completes the meridians that terminate in the hands, in
particular the fire element terminates at the tip of the middle finger. (Some call this the "Reiki
laser".)
Part Four - Symbols

Initially, the only symbols used in the Seichim Reiki attunements were the infinity and the
cho ku ret (an infinity/cho ku rei mix). It is unclear at this point exactly who developed the
symbols for the 7 facet system. I was told that Tom developed/channelled them while Phoenix
organized them into the cohesive 7 facet system. Others reported that they co-jointly
developed them. Facet One, Two and Three use the traditional Usui Reiki symbols. If a student
is learning Seichim Reiki independently from Reiki, then more time should be spent learning the
Reiki symbols and use and meanings of each in more depth than this manual allows. When
using these symbols with Seichim, focus on the infinity, say Seichim several times and then
draw the infinity symbol before drawing the Usui Reiki symbols.

Facet One -
Cho Ku Rei (traditional Usui Style)
The Cho Ku Rei is the same used as in the Usui System as are the other Usui Symbols
used for the First Three Seichim Facets. Although the Reiki Symbols are used for facet 1, 2,
and 3, these are NOT Reiki attunements. Within the context of the Seichim attunement there
are several subtle differences. First, the infinity symbol is used prior to the attunement. The
Intent of the attunements is to perform Seichim attunements, the connection to the energy is
not Reiki. All the Seichim Symbols are placed in the crown for any level attunement.
The Cho Ku Rei is the Power symbol in the Reiki System. This symbol represents a spiral
manifestation of energy and a connection to the source. It opens us up to the source energy.
Remember that all energy, whether Reiki or Seichim come from the one source. The Cho Ku Rei,
and the Infinity symbol (below) are both quick convenient methods of connecting to the Seichim
Source, but also useful in clearing spaces (rooms, etc.) and in healing.
To cleanse a room: draw it in the corners of a room intending it be cleansed. Draw it on
objects in your environment intending they be cleansed and operate for your highest good.
Draw it on objects and send Seichim into them to empower them with Seichim.
INFINITY
This sign, the number 8 positioned horizontally, .denotes the idea of infinitely great or
infinity, referring to distances or numbers. Sometimes the concept of infinity in mathematical
systems is expressed by the infinity sign. It represents a double endlessness or eternity.
The infinity is the representation of how the Seichim energy operates. It is a sense of
completeness. When connecting to Seichim focus on universal love from the One Source. You will
feel this especially in the Heart Chakra.
Part Five - Techniques

Hand Placements and Scanning


There are no specific hand placements used in Seichim. A more intuitive approach is used
for treatment. Reiki hand positions can be used, from the standard Takata hand positions, the
TJR placements or any other set you might know. In an addition to any hand positions you
might use, the technique of Scanning is taught here to assist in finding any trouble areas a
person might be experiencing. Always remember that despite any sensations you experience you
must not diagnose, as that is practicing medicine without a license and illegal.

Byosen
Focused healing/Scanning was a technique used by Mikao Usui in Reiki Ryoho and was
called Byosen. Byosen is a process of "scanning" (as is commonly taught in Rand's
"Usui/Tibetan" Reiki) and then treating those areas most in need. The technique is simple to
do and difficult to master.
Connect to the Seichim energy. When you feel the connection, start above the person's
head with the palms facing the person and separate by a few inches. Begin moving the hands
down the body over all areas of the body. Hold the hands about 6 inches (14cm) above the
person’s body . Notice how much Seichim energy is flowing. As you pass over certain areas,
you will notice they tend to take more energy. Stay in these places. In doing so you are
allowing the scanning or intuitive sense you have to dictate where the energy will be sent. You
are "focusing" the energy in these spots hence the term "focused healing". While you do this,
you may also notice hot spots, cold spots, tingling sensations or other things. Focus energy in
these places as well.
Some people are uncomfortable in using these techniques and can use the regular Reiki
hand positions that they are comfortable with if that is the case.

Chi Ball
The Chi Ball one way to use Seichim and a technique to help you develop sensitivity and
awareness of this energy. A Chi ball is a ball of pure energy that you construct with intent for
healing. It is used for distance healing as well as to help develop sensitivity to the energy and
working with it. A novel way to send self attunements or distant attunements is to make the
ball, perform the attunement and then send it using the distant symbol or simple intent.
Making a Chi Ball
1. Draw the infinity symbol in the air, and then hold the hands up high, palms up and
visualize the Seichim source come down and surround you. Breathe in the Seichim energy and
left it come into the palms and fill you.
2. Bring the hands down in front of your chest, palms facing toward each other and about
one inch apart.
3. While continuing to focus on the Seichim Source slowly move the hands apart. Visualize,
intend and will that a ball of energy form. Continue to move the hands further apart until they
are about the width of a basketball apart.
4. Stay focused on it as long as it takes to form the ball. You can focus on placing certain
colors, symbols or other energies (such as Reiki) inside the ball.
5. Send the ball. Now state, will, and intend that the ball be sent to yourself or another.
Set the intent for this before sending it (healing, love, peace, etc.) If you need to, draw a Hon
Sha Ze Sho Nen on the ball from top to bottom.
This technique is very useful in sending energy to yourself. It is also a nice way to do
distant healings for others. The Chi Ball technique, when done consistently, allows the Seichim
practitioner to develop a strong sensitivity to the energy.

Grounding
Learning the technique of grounding is essential to avoid becoming spacey or dizzy from
using too much energy. There are many techniques for grounding and if you have a favorite my
suggestion is that you continue to use that. Grounding simply means "connected to the
earth". Grounding before and after using Seichim is useful to help you use the energy more
effectively.
A simple method is to draw the power symbol on the feet, hands and hara in that order.
Then place the palms on the hara and hold them there for a few minutes. This directs the
energy from the upper energy centers to the lower and helps ground.
Another method is to rub the hands vigorously (the Taoists feel this should be done 9
times) and shake them out and then shake out the feet. This can be done before and after
healings.
A third method is to place the hands on the earth for a few moments.
A fourth method is to visualize roots going from your feet into the earth and allowing the
excess to run off into the earth.

Treatment
Draw the infinity on your palms saying the word "Seichim" three times. Feel your connection
to earth and allow the Seichim energy to flow through you. Place your hands on the person
either using Reiki hand positions or intuit where they should go using scanning or another such
method.
Part Six - Suggested Activities/Healings

Activities for Facet One


1. Practice using and connecting to Seichim. Keep a brief log of your experience, how the
energy feels, visual sensations and other feelings. Try using Reiki, then intending "Reiki Off",
and then turning on Seichim and note the difference.
2. Do a healing session on one other person. Experiment with hands-on using the Seichim.
3. Practice Focused Healing/Scanning. Send Seichim into areas that appear to need it.
Notice how the energy flows as you do this.
Facet Two: Body and Emotional Integration of the Seichim
Energy & Experiencing the Dimensional Aspects of the
Seichim.
Part One
Pronunciation of Seichim
Seichim has many different pronunciations. This tends to be related mostly to the system
of Seichim you are studying. Marat originally told Patrick the energy was called "Seichim", and
according to Tom Seaman, this was pronounced "Say-Sheem". I was told that Patrick had
pronounced it "Say-Keem" for many years and then was using the more Arabic pronunciation of
"Se Kem". The practitioners of Sekhem pronounce it "Sek-hem". SKHM, Patrick's current
practice is harder to pronounce since it uses the Egyptian letter equivalents. Since Egyptian,
like Hebrew, uses no vowels and there are no vowel markers indicating how this is to be
pronounced, it is more properly pronounced "Say-k'him".
Seichim (Say-Sheem) is also the name of a group that does healing in India. It is also
thought to be the Sanskrit word for compassion. Some of the early users of Seichim thought
the energy was associated with Kuan Yin, the Buddhist Goddess of Compassion. This would
seem to fit since Seichim (Say-Sheem) is the Sanskrit word for compassion. It is interesting
that in some of the writings of Helen Belot and Marsha Burack the Kuan Yin connection was
labeled the "eastern" or softer Seichim to distinguish it from the incorporated Egyptian
material and goddess Sekhmet.
Part Two: Symbols

Sei He Kei - (traditional Usui Style)


The second symbol is called Sei Hei Ki. It is pronounced "say hay key". This symbol is known
as the mental/emotional symbol, but also as the harmony symbol. It is used to heal old mental
and emotional energetic patterns or habits. It is also used to bring up the emotional issues
underneath physical problems. It helps reinforce positive behavior changes.
This symbol focuses Reiki energy on the emotional body. This symbol is used for healing the
emotions, and releasing and changing negative feelings that are held onto into positive ones. It
is also the symbol for harmony. It is also used to help release negative conditioning from past
experiences by changing reacting to responding. Buddhists believe that ego is conditioning. The
Zen sages knew that to be free of suffering was to end desire. It was only be removing the
conditionings of life (ego), that one could be free and experience harmony and oneness. This
symbol is for healing and releasing those feelings, desires and conditionings. Healing with the
Sei Hei Ki can be as simple as using the symbol while doing a healing using the regular hand
positions. It can also be used as part of an emotional meditation to help release and heal
these conditionings and patterns that underlying problems.
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen - (traditional Usui Style)
The Distance Healing symbol is called the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. This
symbol enables us to send healing energies to others at a distance.
This can be used to send Reiki across the street or to other parts of
the world. It can be used when doing hands-on Reiki healing would be
inappropriate (with a burn patient or someone with sexual abuse
issues). In these cases, Reiki can be sent distantly from across the
room. Such line-of-sight uses of the distant symbol are called
"Beaming".
The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is made up of five distinct elements. It
means "no past, no present, no future". In distance healing, Reiki energy
can be sent thousands of miles away, or across a room. With distance
healing there is "no past, no present, no future." All time is now!
Some people believe that this symbol enables them to send to the
Past or Future. I believe this is a mistaken understanding of the
meaning of this symbol. Its meaning is "all time is now". The past does
not exist. It has happened. It cannot be undone. It only exists as we
remember it and recreate for ourselves that past. To recreate the past means that we,
through our current understanding and beliefs, look at what has happened and with our energy
bring it alive for ourselves. When we feel anger at past events, we are recreating this anger. Not
reliving the anger, but recreating it for ourselves. This is one way people do not heal. It might be
that they are not ready to release that pain or anger. When we send Reiki to the "past" we are
healing ourselves in the now, by healing that part of us that continually recreates that past.
Likewise, there is no future. We can create the future, indeed a multitude of them with
imagination and longing and desire. We can invest energy into that future and even feel
emotional responses to that future. In doing so we condition ourselves and our reactions and
limit our ability to be in this "now" and be spontaneous and genuine.

Distant Healing with Seichim


The simplest method is to first do the infinity meditation for a few moments. Next draw
the infinity symbol and then the HSZSN. Now simply raise one arm and focus on the person
who will be receiving. Allow the energy to flow through that hand to the person.
Part Three - Meditations

Meditate using the HSZSN, SHK, and Infinity symbols. Use the Infinity Meditation as the
basis of this.
Begin by doing the Seichim Infinity Meditation. See the living light energy above and see it
come around you. Allow it to flow around your body and begin to cleanse and energize the fields
of energy around you and cleanse and energize the aura. Breath in the light into the lungs.
From there see the light energy move into the heart, and then spread throughout the whole
body. See and know that the living light energy removes all that is not in your highest good and
transmutes it into light. See the infinity sign above the crown and let the infinity flow into the
crown and then breath it down into the heart. Let the light fill and energize you completely.
Place your hands in the namaste position before the heart. Now focus on one of symbols.
See the symmetry of its shape, and let it enter the crown and float into the heart. See the
infinity and how it goes together with it. Breath in the balance of the light, breathing in balance
and harmony. Focus on the energy flowing in and bringing balance to all parts of your body and
mind. Continue this for a time. You may wish to bring in the other symbols as well. When you are
ready, give thanks and gratitude for the gift shared you, and slowly bring yourself back up to
normal consciousness.
*Namaste Position: Gassho is a common practice in many eastern traditions. It is called
"Namaste" in the Indo-Tibetan traditions. Gassho is holding the hands clasped in a prayer
position at about the level of the chest. In Reiki, Gassho is formally practiced by sitting on the
floor or on a chair. The hands are in the prayer clasped position with the middle fingers
touching in front of the chest. The eyes are closed. The Reiki precepts are said (For today only
do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, do your work with appreciation, be kind to all people).
The middle fingers touch as this completes the meridians that terminate in the hands, in
particular the fire element terminates at the tip of the middle finger. (Some call this the "Reiki
laser".)
Part Five - Activities/Healings

Do some in person or distant healing connecting using Seichim, and sending either directly
to the person or using HSZSN. Focus on emotional healing using the Sei Hei Ki. Connect to
Seichim using the Infinity symbol.
Facet Three - Using Seichim to Empower Inanimate Objects
THE ZARA SYMBOL - Introduction
Zara or Cho Ku Ret was the first Seichim Symbol. It is unclear if it was developed by
Patrick, or Tom Seaman. The symbol was an attempt to fuse together the Reiki and Seichim
energies. It embodies the Cho Ku Rei of Reiki and the Infinity of Seichim. This symbol was
thought to empower the world around you. This was a way to increase the consciousness and
energy level of everything around you.
In the Einstein universe, matter and energy are intricately related. We are not so different
from the matter around us, everything is also energy and vibrates at certain frequencies. We
are the same as the other "stuff" that the universe contains. This symbol can be used to
empower objects in your environment. Although this may seem "silly" or nonsensical, it actually
has many creative uses. The ultimate purpose of this symbol is to awaken everything around
you so that you are more connected to the universe. Seichim is very much about awakening,
and awakening to the universe. This system and energy are designed to more fully connect you
with the universe and experiencing the oneness with it. The attunements in Seichim are like an
introduction to the universe, like saying "Joe, this is the universe, Universe this is Joe". It
opens us up to the oneness and greater whole. Each Facet is designed to open us more to the
different aspects we can experience and to integrate these energies into us.

Symbols
Cho Ku Ret (also called Zara)
Zara is used to awaken the consciousness or initiate inanimate
objects. This brings the objects innate characteristics to the
foreground, and enables one to empower and work with it as if it were
animate. For example you can use Zara to awaken your car so it is
always a reliable and safe conveyance. You can awaken your bed so
your sleep is perfect and connected. You can do this with your food,
with clothing. My friend used the symbol over his suit before a big
interview and got a great job that he, on paper, was not qualified for.
Draw it on your house, in your office and other places that you
frequent so that they are filled with this wonderful energy.
To use the symbol you have many choices. You can simply draw it and let energy beam
from your palms into the object to empower them. You can also use any symbol techniques
from Reiki or other styles that you know that you are comfortable with. You can also attune
objects using the Seichim empowerment and placing the symbol on them. This will be discussed
when we cover the attunement process.
Meditations
Zara Meditation
I am a big believer in meditation with the symbols. The symbols are designed to give intent
to the energy and to help you develop a certain use and connection with the energy.
Meditating on the symbols helps us to deepen that connection and use and to be able to more
quickly connect to the energy. Also, by meditating on the symbol, we can more clearly see the
meaning of the symbol and what the developers of them saw and knew about them.
Connect to the energy using the Infinity meditation. Draw the Zara symbol before you or
visualize it in your mind. Feel the energy that it connects you will and contemplate its uses.
What does it mean to "empower inanimate objects", and what is your perception of inanimate
objects being energy?
Techniques
Cosmic Healing Bank
This technique is also from the Isis Seichim School. A cosmic Healing Bank is for Healing
across time and space. The Cosmic Healing Bank is a "place" where healings and blessings can
be stored. If someone requests energy in the form of a healing to be sent to them some times
in the future, this healing may be deposited in the Cosmic Healing Bank and called upon at any
time.
To make the bank, visualize this place where energy and blessings are stored. See the
place and allow it to form in your mind. Intend and know that it will always be there, as a
blessing and store of blessing for when you need. You can send energy there to be used later,
blessings to be stored, or treatments for others that can be sent at a particular time. Once
you see the bank in your mind, then you can place into the bank what you want. You can place
the healing in the Bank stating the precise time and day that it is to be activated. You can
then simply tell the recipient simply to request it from the Bank by just "asking" for the energy,
healing or whatever. You can use Distant or absentee healing techniques to send to the bank.
You can then request that some or all of the healing is placed in the Bank for and in the name
of the recipient with the time and date to be received. Another option is to program the Bank
to send the healing energy at the time the recipient is falling asleep at night.
Suggested Activities/Healings

1. Do the Zara Meditation


2. Use the Zara Symbol to empower objects in your environment.
3. Make a Cosmic healing bank to send healing to a client or to yourself.
Facet Four - Experience AngelWings, opening blockages and
sealing in energy
Angel Wings Symbol
Angel Wings is one of my favorite Seichim Symbols. Angel Wings is the Realization of
Potential. It can be used on everything. Meditating with it helps unblock potential, freeing us
to make changes and grow. The goal of Seichim is to connect fully to the universe. Angel Wings
helps us see our spiritual nature in relation to all things. The symbol has two spirals moving to
each side. The symbol represents balance, but also moving energy in the pattern that the
spirals suggest. Angel Wings is used in attunements and treatments to "seal in" the energy.
The feel of this symbol is remarkable, and has both a light and loving feel and a heavy spiral all
at once.
When using Angel Wings in treatments first begin the treatment. Then use whatever
symbols are appropriate and then the AngelWings to work on blockages and to help others (or
yourself realize potential). It is a good symbol to use after scanning to help break up problem
areas and the seal in the healing energy. Use AngelWings at the end of the treatment to seal
in healing.
Meditations
Meditating with energy is one of the best and surest ways to begin to understand energy.
The symbols are a key to understanding its use, and meditation with the symbols strengthens
the connection. The best way to work with symbol meditation is to use the basic Infinity
meditation that we use to start attunements and then bring in the symbols you will use.
Start by clearing the mind. If any thoughts pop up, let them slip away and pay them no
mind. Visualize or see the living light energy above the head. See it come down and surround
your body. Let it cover around you completely and cleanse and wash away all the negativity in
your energy field, transmuting the dark into light and grounding it into the earth.
Now see the light enter the crown and move through the head and into the heart. Breath
in the energy and let it fill you, again cleansing and transmuting all that is not light and all
that is not in your highest good into light. Now see the infinity in the light above the crown.
See it and the let it move into the head and into the heart. Stay with this and begin to breath
in the light and exhale out that which is not in your highest good. The light transmutes that
which is not in your highest good into light.
Now see the angel wings symbol above you. See it enter the crown and into the heart. Feel
the way the energy moves in the symbol. Do not have any expectations about the symbol,
simply allow it to be with you. Consistent practice will clarify the symbols intent and suggest
ever more uses for it.
Techniques
Using Angel Wings
Use angel wings in healing any time you feel or sense a blockage and let the spiral dissolve
it. For those who have emotional issues that are "stuck", drawing the Sei Hei Ki, and then the
angel wings, and then the Sei Hei Ki can help release and heal it.
Another use is called the "Writing Release". It is like journaling, and you write down an area
that you are stuck on. This could be a difficult relationship, problem with a friend, or something
related to work, or other thing). Draw the angel wings symbol over it. Draw the infinity over it,
and place your hands on the paper and send Seichim to the issue. This helps to unblock the
issue as well as to help you realize your hidden innate potential and solve the issue.
Suggested Activities/Healings

Use the AngelWings Symbol in Healing and do the meditation.


Facet Five - Achieving Balance, Wholeness and Emotional
Integration
Symbol - Male-Female Balance (Everlasting Flower of Enlightenment -
Golden Sun)
Everything in creation seeks balance. In Chinese mythology is was said that from the Tao
came the Yin and the Yang, and from the Yin and Yang came the 10,000 things (i.e., all
creation). Yin and Yang represent balance, but something more. Everything contains within it
the essence of its opposite. This symbol represents balance. The symbol is like a flower, with
two hearts on each side. All is duality. The symbol expresses a unification of the parts of
ourselves that are dual in nature.
This symbol represents and is used to balance the Masculine and Feminine energies in a
person. Carl Gustov Jung, the eminent psychologist discussed at length the "anima" and
"animus", the male and female aspects of all beings. By bringing them into balance the person
feels a sense of wholeness, unity and completion. This male/female balance is expressed in most
religions. The Yin and Yang express both this duality and the idea that even a polar opposite
contains some of the essence of its opposite. The Hebrew name for God, represented by IHVI
(Yod Heh Vau Heh) is a blend of Masculine and Feminine.
This symbol helps us to find balance in ourselves. Some of us are too
yin and others too yang, too masculine or too feminine. Although the
symbol is called "male-female balance", it refers to all the dualities that
we are and experience. With balance comes emotional integration. This is
an acceptance of the diverse parts of who we are. What also comes is
freedom. We free ourselves from the patterned conditionings and ways
of acting that are out of balance. In this way we respond out of love in
situations, not react out of preprogrammed conditioning that is out of
balance.
The attunement brings the aspect of the energy into us, it increases
our awareness of balance and the awareness to do so. However, it is not magic and does not
remove the work that must accompany this. The Meditation with the symbol helps increase the
awareness and action.
Using the symbol in healing is just like using any other symbol. Good areas to treat are the
heart, and brain or any area that you intuitively feel will help. Using this aspect of the energy
helps to bring balance to them.
This symbol is also called by other names in other Seichim styles. In one it is called the
shining everlasting flower of enlightenment. It is the flower of the heart. By moving from duality
we experience the oneness and experience satori or a one-point connection with the all, the
at-one-ment.
Meditations -
Meditation using Male-Female balance Symbol and Infinity to experience balance and
union of our nature and infinity.
Begin by doing the Seichim Infinity Meditation. See the living light energy above and see it
come around you. Allow it to flow around your body and begin to cleanse and energize the fields
of energy around you and cleanse and energize the aura. Breath in the light into the lungs.
From there, see the light energy move into the heart, and then spread throughout the whole
body. See and know that the living light energy removes all that is not in your highest good and
transmutes it into light. See the infinity sign above the crown and let the infinity flow into the
crown and then breath it down into the heart. Let the light fill and energize you completely.
Place your hands in the namaste position before the heart. Now focus on the male-female
balance symbol. See the symmetry of its shape, the hearts of love on its sides. Breath in the
balance of the light, knowing that these parts of you are being brought into balance and
harmony. Focus on the energy flowing in and bringing balance to all parts of your body and
mind. Continue this for a time. You may wish to bring in the other symbols as well. When you are
ready, give thanks and gratitude for the gift shared you, and slowly bring yourself back up to
normal consciousness.
*Namaste Position: Gassho is a common practice in many eastern traditions. It is called
"Namaste" in the Indo-Tibetan traditions. Gassho is holding the hands clasped in a prayer
position at about the level of the chest. In Reiki, Gassho is formally practiced by sitting on the
floor or on a chair. The hands are in the prayer clasped position with the middle fingers
touching in front of the chest. The eyes are closed. The Reiki precepts are said (For today only
do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, do your work with appreciation, be kind to all people).
The middle fingers touch as this completes the meridians that terminate in the hands, in
particular the fire element terminates at the tip of the middle finger. (Some call this the "Reiki
laser".)

2. Do the Meditation connecting to the source and the symbol. Record any thoughts and
feelings about the experience.
3. Work with your friends/other energy workers in using this symbol in healing.
Facet Six - Align Higher and Lower Selves
Symbols
High/Low/God
This symbol is used to Align the higher, lower and God selves of an individual so that they
all work together for the highest good of the individual. Notice that the alignment reflects a
trinity, or tripartite structure that is so common in most spiritual systems.
The Alignment is vertical. It flows from the Infinite, through us and into the earth. We
become the infinity as the different aspects of our nature are brought into alignment.
The symbol is called the "High/Low/God" Symbol. It represents this flow of energy from the
divine, through our "selves". The "High" self, or "Higher Self" is often thought of as the soul. It
is our highest level of being and closest to the divine. The "Low" self is the ego. It is under our
conscious control and is responsible for making the choices that we do in life. The ego is an
amalgam of all our experiences, beliefs, conditionings and as such often has moved away from
the divine order and soul order. We become trapped in our beliefs and conditionings that
prevent us from seeing reality as it truly *is* and move farther and farther from the divine
order. This order is what the Taoists call the Tao or "the way".
We have different aspects of ourselves. We have physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
This symbol helps us cleanse and let go of the things that prevent us from seeing things are
they are, not as we want them to be. When we are in alignment with the divine order we
experience harmony in our lives.
This Facet is thought to be a very important cleansing and can bring about big changes in
one's life. Letting go of conditionings is never easy and the cleansing can be difficult for some.
It is not an overwhelming process, but it will bring to the forefront ideas and conditionings you
have that you may need to address as you come more into focus with your life's plan and
mission.
Meditations
Meditation using High/Low/God Symbol and Infinity to experience an alignment of
ourselves and union of our nature.
Begin by doing the Seichim Infinity Meditation. See the living light energy above and see it
come around you. Allow it to flow around your body and begin to cleanse and energize the fields
of energy around you and cleanse and energize the aura. Breath in the light into the lungs.
From there see the light energy move into the heart, and then spread throughout the whole
body. See and know that the living light energy removes all that is not in your highest good and
transmutes it into light. See the infinity sign above the crown and let the infinity flow into the
crown and then breath it down into the heart. Let the light fill and energize you completely.
Place your hands in the namaste position before the heart. Now focus on the high/low/God.
See it's shape and see the infinity. Breath in the light and love. Feel the alignment, from the
infinite, the divine through us to earth. We are healed in oneness in our physical, emotional and
spiritual sleves. Breath in the balance of the light, knowing that these parts of you are being
brought into balance and harmony. Focus on the energy flowing in and bringing balance to all
parts of your body and mind.
*Namaste Position: Gassho is a common practice in many eastern traditions. It is called
"Namaste" in the Indo-Tibetan traditions. Gassho is holding the hands clasped in a prayer
position at about the level of the chest. In Reiki, Gassho is formally practiced by sitting on the
floor or on a chair. The hands are in the prayer clasped position with the middle fingers
touching in front of the chest. The eyes are closed. The Reiki precepts are said (For today only
do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, do your work with appreciation, be kind to all people).
The middle fingers touch as this completes the meridians that terminate in the hands, in
particular the fire element terminates at the tip of the middle finger. (Some call this the "Reiki
laser".)
Continue this for a time. You may wish to bring in the other symbols as well. Receive
perfect love, joy and peace to fill you. When you are ready, give thanks and gratitude for the gift
shared you, and slowly bring yourself back up to normal consciousness.
Original Information Regarding the Attunements
We are going to begin learning about the Seichim Attunement and the attunement
process.
There are a variety of methods under the umbrella of Seichim Reiki.
The Original attunements were passed by Patrick Ziegler using the infinity during a Reiki
Attunement. The information given to Patrick from Marat was:
The Level 1 uses the Reiki power symbol drawn on the person while incorporating the Infinity
symbol as well. This is what is known as the Cho Ku Ret (also called Zara).
Level 2 incorporates more integration into the body and adding dimension.
Then a Level 3 or Master Level would be where you visualize the person as actually being
the Infinity symbol.
Tom Seaman was the fourth to receive a Seichim attunement. Patrick had started a small
healing group while a Teacher after learning Barbara Weber Ray's Real Reiki™ now called "The
Radiance Technique." This is where he met T'om. Patrick shared about Seichim with T'om who
asked for the Master attunements in both. Patrick agreed, and gave them explaining that the
results might be unpredictable as he had never attempted to pass the Seichim energy before.
The information Patrick passed to T'om at this point was what he had received from Marat. At
this point, the only symbols were the infinity, the Cho Ku Ret and the Reiki Symbols.
The system here developed two separate streams. One was the T'om Seaman / Ken Lowry
school and the other as the Phoenix Summer field school. There is some disagreement over
who actually developed the 7 Facet symbols that are used in system. Both T'om and Ken, as
well as Phoenix were adding symbols and using them. Some accounts say that they were up to
30 at one point. The three of them were corresponding regularly as well as working together
and they developed from their work the system that you are learning. The systems took on
different names T'om's was called Seichim Reiki or 7 Facet Seichim, Ken maintained the
"Renegade Reiki" name and Phoenix called hers "Seichim". Phoenix's began channelling material
and soon was claiming that the system came from Atlantis or Lemuria, through Tibet to
Egypt.
Attunements
The 7 Facet Seichim Attunement/Seichim Initiation Ceremony
Preparing for the Initiation -
Explain the initiation ceremony to the initiate. Tell him what you will be doing and what they
need to do, as well as what to expect. Cleanse participants and area where initiation is to be
done, using smudging or any other cleansing technique. Have initiate sit either in a chair which
allows access to his upper back or in a meditation position on the floor. The initiate should
place his hands on his knees with palms facing upward. Initiate should have eyes closed, unless
this causes him extreme discomfort. Tell initiate to say any prayer and/or call in any guides
they wish to be present for initiation. The Master should also say any prayer and/or call in any
guides they wish to be present.

The Initiation Ceremony


The structure of the attunement is relatively simple. For ease in instruction, the main
action for each step is listed next to the number or step, and then a narrative explanation
follows.
1. Call down the Great Shining Light
Stand behind the initiate and draw the Dai Ko Myo in the air with both hands
simultaneously above the initiate's head. Bring the Great Shining Light energy down to the
initiate by lowering your hands to rest on the top of his head.
2. Place ALL Seichim symbols into the initiate's crown. (This is done for any level of
Seichim.)
Draw the infinity symbol in the air with the left hand three times while saying "Seichim" to
set the intent of initiating him into Seichim.
For each symbol: With left hand, draw the symbol in the air above the initiate and say the
symbol's name 3 times. Allow the energy of the symbol to flow through your right hand on the
initiate's head and gently push the symbol into the crown with the left hand. After all other
symbols drawn, draw the infinity symbol in the air with the left hand three times while saying
"Seichim".
3. Place appropriate symbols for the level of initiation into the initiate's back.
Draw the symbols for the level of the initiation directly on the initiate's upper back with
both hands simultaneously as you say the name of each symbol 3 times. Level/Symbol {for
each level, add the symbol(s) noted as well as repeating the ones for the previous level(s)}
1 - cho ku rei
2 - sei he ki, hon sha ze sho nen
3 - cho ku ret (also known as zara)
4 - angel wings
5 - male/female balance
6 - high/low/god
7 - eeef tchay and Dai Ko Mio

After all other symbols drawn, draw the infinity symbol on the back with both hands
simultaneously three times while saying "Seichim.” Blow from the crown chakra down to the
base of spine to get the energy moving. Then seal in the symbols by drawing a two-handed
angel wings symbol on the back.
4. Place the appropriate symbols for the level of initiation into each hand.
Move clockwise around to the front of the initiate. Follow this procedure for one hand,
then the other. Blow from the palm up each arm once or more to clear energy if needed. (Use
your intuition on this, or you may do it for each initiation.) Draw the symbols for the level of the
initiation directly on the palm as you say the name of each symbol 3 times. Then gently push
each symbol upward into the initiate's 3rd eye. After all other symbols drawn, draw the infinity
symbol on the palm three times while saying "Seichim" and gently push the infinity symbol into
the 3rd eye also. Then draw the angel wings symbol on the palm to seal in the symbols.
5. Blow white/violet energy into each chakra.
Place the initiate's hands together in a prayer position. As you do this, draw the cho ku rei
inside your mouth with your tongue and inhale through this symbol. Move the initiate's hands
over each of his chakras and blow out the white/violet energy through his hands and into each
chakra. Return the initiate's hands to his knees with palms facing upward.
6. Place the appropriate symbols for the level of initiation into the feet.
Kneel in front of the initiate. Follow this procedure for both feet simultaneously. Draw the
symbols for the level of the initiation directly on the top of each foot as you say the name of
each symbol 3 times. Then gently pull each symbol upward toward his knee. After all other
symbols drawn, draw the infinity symbol on the feet three times while saying "Seichim" and
gently pull the infinity upwards also. Then draw the angel wings symbol on the feet to seal in
the symbols. Move clockwise to stand behind the initiate again.
7. Seal the initiate in the Great Shining Light and the energy of the Earth.
Making a circle with your hands, pull in the Great Shining Light and creating a large disk in
your arms of the Great Shining Light energy (use visualization of the dai ko myo to assist in
creating this disk). Pull the disk down over the initiate all the way to the ground. Then pull the
Earth energy up into a similar disk and pull it up over the initiate.
8. Thank the Great Shining Light and any guides present for their assistance.
9. Clap hands 3 times over initiate’s head to end ceremony.
Alternate Seichim Attunement

This Seichim Attunement was developed by Lyn Nickel to pass the Seichim Energy. This
attunement uses the Infinity, the ANKH, and the Sun.

Try using this attunement to empower and attune things in the environment, or to attune
others that you wish to share Seichim with.
1. Connect with the source
2. Next, bring in the infinity sign
3. Next, bring in the sun
4. Then bring in the ankh
5. Finally bring in the infinity again
N.B. The Symbols and Energy are brought in the crown, then in the heart, palms, feet, and
then in the totally aura and energy field.

Symbols for the short Seichim attunement

INFINITY: See also Shen and Shenu


This sign, the number 8 positioned horizontally...denotes the idea of infinitely great or
infinity, referring to distances or numbers. Sometimes the concept of infinity in mathematical
systems is expressed by the sign . As far as time is concerned the most common similar
medieval symbol is the snake biting its own tail, or the empty circle, . It represents a double
endlessness or eternity.

ANKH : Symbol of Eternal Life


Symbol of Eternal Life. The gods are often seen holding an Ankh to someone's lips and this
is considered to be an offering of "The Breath of Life."

SUN: Symbol of God/Universe Life and Creation Energy


Also represents Regeneration, Revitalization, Growth and Abundance

Facet Seven - Becoming the Infinity, Vision and Insight,
elinghtenment and mastery
Symbols
Eeef Tchay (Endless Inner Sight)
The Eeef Tchay Symbol is used to open the third Eye, and give
one Endless Inner Sight. It allows you to see through the veils of
illusion and see things as they really are. It is also used to enhance
psychic sight.
This symbol represents the Eye of Horus. It is the awakening and
opening of the third eye and the awareness of the third eye. Some
schools teach that the third eye (or pituitary) actually swells and
bursts any calcification or covering when it is fully open and working.
With the Eeef Tchay, we are able to see what needs healed. This
is not necessarily with the eyes but with the third eye. In Reiki Ryoho this skill is called "Reiji.”
We also find our discernment, the ability to know spiritually increases.
Dai Ko Mio
Seichim and Reiki share the Dai Ko Mio as the mastery symbol. In Seichim, there are 7
Facets. It is a slow process where one begins to open all the levels of body and mind to the
energy and experience "At-one-ment" with the universe. This is enlightenment. It starts the
process and we begin to transcend. The Seichim Dai Ko Mio represents the Great Shining Light
that Seichim is.
It is where we have opened to the power of Seichim (Facet One), Opened emotionally and
spiritually (Facet 2), Awakened and perceived oneness with all things around us (Facet 3),
Begun to realize our potential (Facet 4), brought our male and female (yin and yang) into
harmony (Facet 5), Brought our selves into alignment with the great light of the divine (Facet
6), and finally, opened our insight and inner vision to the great shining light and oneness
(Facet 7). We have traveled the journey of Mastery.
N.B. If you already know a version of Dai Ko Mio, use that one.
Meditations
Meditation using High/Low/God Symbol and Infinity to experience an alignment of
ourselves and union of our nature.
Begin by doing the Seichim Infinity Meditation. See the living light energy above and see it
come around you. Allow it to flow around your body and begin to cleanse and energize the fields
of energy around you and cleanse and energize the aura. Breath in the light into the lungs.
From there see the light energy move into the heart, and then spread throughout the whole
body. See and know that the living light energy removes all that is not in your highest good and
transmutes it into light. See the infinity sign above the crown and let the infinity flow into the
crown and then breath it down into the heart. Let the light fill and energize you completely.
Place your hands in the namaste position before the heart. Now focus on the Eeef Tchay.
Let the energy move into the third eye and see the symbol form there. Let the energy open us
to the insight we have. Allow yourself to fully see the light and stay with this for a few
moments. Next bring in the Dai Ko Mio. Let the great shining light that is Seichim flow into the
crown and expand. Breathe in the light and let it spread through all of you. Let this light
illumine your mind and being. You live in the light.
*Namaste Position: Gassho is a common practice in many eastern traditions. It is called
"Namaste" in the Indo-Tibetan traditions. Gassho is holding the hands clasped in a prayer
position at about the level of the chest. In Reiki, Gassho is formally practiced by sitting on the

The middle fingers touch as this completes the meridians that terminate in the hands, in
particular the fire element terminates at the tip of the middle finger. (Some call this the "Reiki
laser".)
Continue this for a time. You may wish to bring in the other symbols as well. Receive
perfect love, joy and peace to fill you. When you are ready, give thanks and gratitude for the gift
shared you, and slowly bring yourself back up to normal consciousness.
Activities/Healings

Begin a healing.
Focus on Eeef Tchay and then scan the person using a normal scanning technique. See in
your mind's eye areas that need treatment.

Practice Attunements.
Perform an attunement using the Zara symbol to empower an inanimate object. Try using
an attunement on a Reiki friend or other person.
Appendix 1: What do the Usui Reiki Symbols Really Mean?
http://Reiki-do.org/letters/symbolsmeaning.htm

Letters To Vinny - What do the symbols really mean?


Dear Vinny;
I have been a Reiki master for about 8 years. I was originally taught that the symbols were
"given" to Usui while on the 21 days on the mountain. I now see that you (and others) are
saying that they have existed in Japan and Asia for a long time before Usui got them and that
in his beginning practices did not use them at all. You stated that he added them in shortly
before teaching Hayashi.
I also know that now many teach the kotodama. I was taught them by someone a few
months back. I must admit that I do not like using the kotodama and do like using the symbols.
Is one better than the other?
And what specifically do the symbols actually mean? Some of the interpretations that I
have heard are so silly as to be unbelievable and I would like to be able to discuss them
intelligently with a level II class that I will be teaching in a few weeks time.
Thanks so much for all your work!
Lorraine

Dear Lorraine,
Thank you for your kindness in writing. Sorry you are looking for an intelligent presentation,
hahaha you came to the wrong place for that I am afraid. Will you settle for one of my more
traditional goofy ones?
Okay then, here we go....................
It is certainly true that historically that Usui used and taught Kotodama first, and then
later symbols. Remember that both of these are simply tools to help one focus and keep
mindfulness. However, I believe that the names of the symbols give a clear indication as to what
Usui was intending and pointing to.
Mind you this is simply information that I have gathered these many (or not so many)
years from a variety of sources.

Symbol One - Cho Ku Rei


Common Usage English - "the power symbol"
Common Usage Japan - "symbol 1" or "the focus symbol"
Japanese meaning - "Imperial Edict" (or command)
The symbol itself and meaning seems to have Taoist roots. It means, "Transcend the
Empty self".
"Transcend the Empty self" should give an inclination as to where the power is to be found.
It is not found when one is full of self, but rather when self is transcended. Remember that Usui
did not call his system a healing system, but a "method of personal mastery". This is the first
step.

Symbol Two - Sei He ki


Common Usage English - "mental emotional symbol"
Common Usage Japan - "symbol 2" or "harmony symbol"
Japanese meaning - "Idiosyncrasy"
The Japanese meaning is suggestive of the root or cause of disease or illness. An
idiosyncrasy is a peculiarity of constitution or temperament. The common usage of "Harmony"
is suggestive of the restoration and healing. Idiosyncrasies come from emotion based thinking
(thinking with one's feelings), beliefs, conditionings and fears. This is the key to "transcending
the empty self" and to establish harmony.
This symbol is usually taught as related to the emotional level or healing on the emotional
level. However this misses the rich depth of what it means. It is a symbol of releasing held
emotions and beliefs. These held (or attached to) emotions and beliefs keep us focused on past
hurts and distresses and leads to the creation of suffering *now*. The symbol aids in release
and transformation, allowing us in awareness to see the emotional attachments that create
out suffering or distress and to release them.

Symbol Three - Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen


Common Usage English - "no past, no present, no future"
Common Usage Japan - "symbol 3" or "the connection symbol"
(There are some that teach that the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen means "The Buddha in me
reaches out to you to promote enlightenment and peace". I cannot find the source of where
this comes from, but appears to be someone's attempt to adapt the traditional meaning of
"namaste".)
Japanese meaning - This is based on a Buddhist chant. The meaning would be something
like "Right consciousness is the root of everything", or "A righteous person many correct all
thoughts". It can also be suggestive of "all time is now" or "cutting through to the ever present
eternal now".
The chanting of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen was done so that one experienced right
consciousness and transcended attachment to the past and desirous future so that in the
ever present eternal now, one was the Buddha Nature.
All time is now. Now is the only time one can ever do, or be anything.
Perhaps a silly quote will help………From Star Wars: Episode One
"Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs", advised Jedi Master Qui Gon Jin
to his Padawan Obi Wan.
"But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future", queried Obi Wan.
"Be mindful of the living force", offered Qui Gon.
There now doesn’t that make it all clear?
So where are we now? Transcend the empty self, in harmony freed of the ideosyncracies of
emotion, belief and conditioning, focused on the ever present eternal now.
With me so far? And you thought other people’s explanations were "silly as to be
unbelievable"! Aren’t you sorry you asked this now, hahahahahahah. Oh well, might as well
finish…………

Symbol Four - Dai Ko Myo


Common Usage English - "great shining light"
Common Usage Japan - "symbol 4" or "master symbol"
For this symbol, I am going to introduce the actual translation of the kanji themselves.
These are taken from Charles Mullen's extraordinary Online English-Japanese dictionary.
(Caution - great care must be taken when using dictionaries of this sort. You must have the
kanji so that you are translating the right thing. Simply putting in an Anglicization of a
Japanese word might yield rather bizarre results.)

Dai
[Japanese] dai, tai
[Definition] (1) Great, big, vast, tall, extensive. Noble, high in rank. Very, much. (2) To make
great. (3) Old, grown-up. (4) Greatly, loudly.

Ko
[Japanese] kou
[Definition] (1) Light, brightness, splendor. (2) Sunlight. (3) Manifestation, appearance. (4)
The opposite of dullness; wisdom. (5) Halo, aura. (6) Smooth, bare, naked.

Myo
[Japanese] mei, myou, min
[Definition] (1) Clear, bright, luminous; intelligible, evident. (2) To clarify, shed light upon, to
brighten, to make clear. To open, to reveal, to make manifest, to explain. To distinguish clearly.
(3) Sharp, intelligent, bright. To understand. (4) The Ming dynasty in China (1368-1664). (4)
Enlightenment, illumination. (5) Skilled, ingenious. (6) The next day; tomorrow.
So in looking at these, it is easy to see where people come up with the "great shining light"
meaning that has found it's way into English usage. While "great shining light" may be
technically correct, it lacks the profound subtle meaning that is to be found in the words
DaiKoMyo.
But before we go on here, it should be known that KoMyo has a special meaning that is
used in Japanese Buddhism (again from Charles Mullen's Online Japanese/English Dictionary):
KoMyo / Kou-Myo - 'Bright light', 'radiance'. A symbol of the wisdom of a Buddha or
bodhisattva. It is an expression indicating the destruction of the darkness of delusion and the
manifestation of the reality-principle. It is an expression of praise of the unlimited and
unimpeded light of Amitaabha Buddha, where (kou/ko) is distinguished into the light of his
wisdom and the light of his form. (myo) is the external manifest functioning expression of this
wisdom.
So it would appear that this could be read, "great enlightenment of the buddhas". It could
also mean that one *is* awakening, the divine light of the buddhas. Read over the definition a
few times and let it's meaning flow over you and it will be clear.

So what does all this mean?


Perhaps put it all together in a sentence............
Transcend the empty self, by removing the idiosyncrasies of emotion, belief and
conditioning. In the ever present now, right consciousness is the root of everything in the one
great light and manifestation of awakening.
Or something very much like that.
Hope that helps.
Take gentle care;
Vinny
Appendix Two: Pyramid Experience
http://angelreiki.nu/seichim/patrick.htm

The History of SKHM according to Patrick Zeigler


Patrick: I was always drawn to Egypt. That was the area I was most fascinated with and
being an architect and in architectural school one of the things I did was a competition for a
tourist complex at the pyramids where I started to incorporate a lot of the angles and
geometry from the pyramids and began to work with the sacred geometry from the pyramids in
a lot of my projects. By working with it, I just had to go the Egypt. That was one of my goals
and my dreams. One of the things I want to stress is that it doesn't necessarily mean that
each of us has to go to Egypt. I had somehow set up in my own belief structure that going to
Egypt was when something wonderful would happen to me and that was just my path.
I didn't know how I would go to Egypt, but I ended up being drawn to apply to the Peace
Corps. So I applied and it ended up my first choice was going to Nepal. They did not have the
Peace Corps in Egypt at the time nor was it offered, but I ended up going to Yemen which was
another Arab country on the tip of Saudi Arabia across from Africa.
After being in Yemen for quite a long time, one of the reasons that I went there was that I
felt I could connect very strongly with the Sufi tradition which is the mystical side of Islam --
much like within Christianity there are definitely more mystical aspects within the Christian
faith that deal with connecting more fully, kind of like having extra meditation practices and
really striving to connect. It wasn't just your secular Islam. I had not really experienced any of
that, but I really felt drawn to do that. I had gone to Yemen and unfortunately didn't connect
with any Sufi groups at all there, so I just practiced meditation very regularly there. I had a lot
of free time, because of the way the culture is structured and what then ended up developing
was my own spiritual practice and also learning some of the basics of other Islamic religions
which was very important for me to get around and to communicate and to talk to people.
About halfway through I had my vacation come and off we went to Egypt and my very first
thought was to come and go to the pyramids. For those of you who have been there, you can
just visualize what it is like to be there and for those of you who have not been there I will just
begin to describe what it is like. When you first start coming in on the bus you can see the
pyramids. They just begin to poke up through the trees. You can see them like huge
monuments. It's really spectacular as you begin to leave Cairo. Cairo is on the east bank. Giza
is the town which is around the pyramids on the west bank of the Nile. The Egyptians would
divide up, the west side being really the place of the burial sites of the Pharaohs and the of
other world. Most of the things that were happening on the other side - the eastern side was
really the side of the life - of the now. So that's where people farmed and lived their lives. The
west bank was all sacred. So as you enter over you can actually feel the energy shifting as you
cross over the Nile and move into the plateau of the pyramids and they are on a plateau which
makes them even more spectacular.
The busses come up very close to the pyramids and you get out and walk right up to them.
The pyramids fill your whole field of vision. While you are there people are trying to sell you
camel rides, and sell you all kinds of things for tourists. I just kind of walked right through and
as I went into the pyramids there is a place where the thieves had actually carved out which is
the main entrance. It's about a quarter of the way up the pyramid. And then there is this
carved out entrance that you go into and then as you go into that you start to go into the
smaller chambers where you actually have to crouch down. So imagine yourself having to crouch
down a little bit and beginning to go through some of these chambers. It is a very tight space.
The temperature with a lot of people in there was a little warm, but not uncomfortable. You had
to go through these tunnels. The tunnels are very squared. They are not really meant for people
to be walking in. They had giant plugs of granite that they would put into these tunnels which
you would use and then you would come along and you could go two ways. You could go
straight. You could go into the Queen's chamber, which is where I went first. You would go
straight in. The hallway would get bigger and then you would go into a little doorway and to the
right the chamber would open. The Queen's chamber was much smaller. It has a little pointed
roof where it would go up. It also had the sarcophagus in it to the right as well. Energetically, it
was very peaceful there. I just sat down and meditated for awhile. It was a time of the day
where you didn't have a lot of people there. I had the whole place to myself as I had come there
early in the morning. I just sat there and felt the energy and felt drawn to move around into
the chamber because at that point since there was a little more activity coming in, I then
decided I would go around and check into the King's chamber next.
In the King's chamber there is what they call a Grand Gallery. You enter in and it just goes
up almost probably 24 or 30 feet. You go from this small claustrophobic tube to this very high
spacious staircase that goes up and up and up about two thirds of the way into the pyramid.
As you begin to get up in there it levels off a bit and then you begin to come into the King's
chamber. As you enter into the King's chamber the sounds are just awesome. Every sound
begins to vibrate. It is like you are walking into a big bell. So as you walk the sound of your
footsteps begins to vibrate. If you are quiet enough you can practically hear yourself breathing
in this space. Acoustically, it's perfect. You can make an Om sound and the Om is just carried
through. It's so deep. Again, I just walked in and felt right at home. I began to walk around and
the sarcophagus is off to the right and the position of the head and, again I was assuming,
was up to the north. So the sarcophagus was oriented in the north-south position. The
sarcophagus itself is the container where the King was placed and is a solid piece of granite. I
could walk up and hit it and it would just go bong. It would be almost like a gong. That itself
carries a lot of energy. Again I knew that I wasn't staying at this time. I walked around. I knew
in my heart that I needed to spend the night in this place. I didn't know how I was going to do
it, but again I asked for the guidance for this to occur. Right when I was leaving, I started to
look down and there was this little door where some thieves had tried to carve in and around
the granite that encased the King's chamber. So the little tiny hole was big enough for
someone to crawl up into but definitely would have taken some effort in there. There was a gate
there that was covering it but the gate was unlocked. So I felt like hmm. I had a flashlight with
me and I got my flashlight out and looked up in there and I thought, "well that looks
interesting" and this voice said, "you are going in there." So I said, "I'm going to go in there, but
not now."
So I went home and the next morning I returned. And I had prepared. I had decided that I
would fast from that point so that way I would clean my bowels out. I had fasted the night
before and hadn't eaten anything in the morning. I came back and had the things I would need
for spending the night there. Again the gate was left open, so when there wasn't anyone
around, I opened the gate and crawled in and shut it behind me and kept crawling. Of course I
had no idea of what was in there and I crawled up and up and up. It went into a little alcove
that was above the King's chamber. I was actually quite amazed that all the blocks that are on
the outside and are shown are perfect. They are well fitted together, but the blocks that are on
the inside of the pyramid are actually quite crude and rough which was the way they built
buildings in that part of the world. They would make the outside perfect and finish the inside a
little rougher.
So I sat there and meditated. I meditated all day long. It was just wonderful. I was just in
this almost suspended animation. There was a very nice energy. It wasn't rough or anything and
it was just really calm and peaceful. I meditated all day long right up above the King's chamber
and every now and then could hear some of the tourists coming and going from where I was. I
waited until I felt all the people leave and, actually, I could hear them shut the gate. It was
about 7:00 at night and I could hear them. They have a big metal gate at the front and it
echoed all the way up through the Grand Gallery into the King's chamber up to where I was at.
So I just waited a little bit longer until it was absolutely still and there wasn't another sound
and that's when I came out. I crawled out of the tunnel that I was in and I went directly into
the King's chamber. And, of course, it was just absolutely pitch black. There was no light
whatsoever. I did have my flashlight so I could get around. I turned it on and found the
sarcophagus and proceeded to sit in mediation in it. At that point a voice said, "No, you aren't
supposed to sit in it." So I laid down. It was actually a very good fit. For those of you that have
never met me, I am very tall. I am about 6'5". But it fit perfectly! Now, of course, this is not the
coffin that the King is put in. This is the outer casing.
And as I was laying down I bumped the edge and it reverberated this wonderful tone --
"bohhmm" it was like a gonging sound. I laid down and just started to meditate and before long
I could hear this very high pitched sound coming, like an "eeeeeeeeee" and I go "Oh wow! That's
awful quick!" You know, things are starting to happen. And I was laying there and I said "Okay,
whatever's going to happen, you know, just come on in." And before long I realized that this high
pitched sound was mosquitoes. And I was like, "Wait a minute. There's not supposed to be
mosquitoes in the pyramids!" You know from the reading I have done, these forms of life where
not supposed to be here. And that's one thing that I definitely have a problem with,
mosquitoes. And I wasn't prepared. Now I did have a roll of toilet paper, so I thought, "Oh, what
I'll do is...because I don't want mosquitoes chewing on me all night" and so I took the toilet
paper and started to wrap myself up so they couldn't bite. I wrapped my arms all up with the
toilet paper and I wrapped my feet because I didn't have socks or anything on. And then I
wrapped my face as well and laid back down again.
And once I began to get comfortable I heard this "boom....boom" sound. And I thought, "Oh,
no...someone's coming." And so here I am, laying in a sarcophagus all wrapped up in toilet paper,
and someone's coming. My mind is going, "Well, like, what should I do? Should I try to get back
out?" And I realized if someone's coming up the grand gallery and I get up I'll have to turn my
light on in here where it's pitch black and, of course, they would see me. So I thought "I'm just
going to stay put." And actually what happened was I couldn't move anyway! It was like this
energy was just over me and I was there.
And so I just stayed and listened and listened. And it was this sound you know...like this
"boom...boom" and I could feel it coming up the Grand Gallery. And I began to rationalize, I'd say
"well, maybe it's somebody coming." Then I thought, "no, if it were somebody coming up the
steps they would turn on a light." And at that point I realized whatever it is, is not human. And
so it's not human, then what else could it be? Well, maybe it's bats, so it's like bats flitting
around and I'm hearing the bat droppings or there's something going on. And as I listen deeper,
it's like no, it's too consistent. It can't be an animal or anything. So at that point I realized
that it's something beyond animal or human. And at that point I also began to feel a fear
coming in me. "Like, what is going on here?! What is really happening?" And the fear -- now I've
been in a lot of situations before which were very fearful situations where people pointed guns
at me and everything. But the fear just started overwhelming me and I just fell deeper and
deeper and deeper into the fear. It was almost freezing me, it was just overwhelming me with
this fear. I was going, like wow, you know, just being overwhelmed with this fear. And it got the
closer, the sound of it, I could feel it coming closer and as it got closer I became more fearful.
As it entered into the King's chamber, I could actually feel a presence coming towards me. And
my fear went deeper, and deeper, and as it got closer, and closer I just had no idea what was
going to happen.
All of a sudden I felt this energy was above me and I could actually, for the first time see it
and it was like whirling. And it almost had this figure eight type pattern. It was like moving
around in circles and flying over me and at that point I said, "Well, I could die now. Or I could
just allow whatever this is to happen to me. I mean this is the reason I came." And energetically
then it started, it was as almost like, I said, "okay, I'm open to whatever happens." And the fear
began to melt away and the energy just started to come down into my heart. I felt this warmth
and this love all of a sudden just fill my whole being. And as the fear began to be transformed,
it transformed right into this feeling of love. As I began to feel it coming into my body, I went
back and I could hear the sound and the sound that I was hearing the whole time was that of
my heart. It was like this sound that been transformed outside myself now and into the inside,
so it was really transfixed now right in my heart. And for the whole evening, I just sat and laid
down in meditation just feeling the energy within my heart and feeling it come all the way
through my body, just allowing myself to receive whatever else would come in. And that's how
most of this night went, just being bathed in this love for the rest of the evening.
I realized that soon it was going to be morning. I did have my alarm set in case I would fall
asleep or whatever but I didn't sleep at all. The alarm went off and I said, "okay I'd better get
back". I left the King's chamber and went back into my hiding place and waited for the first few
tour groups to go through. When I felt it was an appropriate time I came out. And when I came
out, I realized that I was white. I was covered in this white dust. I looked down at my arms and
they were just totally white with this white powder. I brushed it off as well as I could. I also felt
it in my hair and brushed it out as much as I could. I got as much of it off as I could yet it was
caked all over my clothes and everything.
A few tour groups came through and I then walked out with one of them. And then as I was
leaving, the guards started to call me in Arabic, "Come here!" and I pretended I didn't hear
them and kept walking and walking and walked out of the pyramid and they're yelling "You get
back here!" I just kept walking and walking and pretty soon, it was just such good luck, because
there was a bus just starting to pull away, and I ran for the bus and I jumped on and it took
off. I ended up back in my hotel room. When I got in I looked in the mirror and I was just totally
white. I had a beard at the time and it was just as if someone had taken white flour and just
sprinkled me all over.
I laid down and sat with the energy for awhile. And later on in the day I took a shower,
cleaned up. I decided to go into the old city of Cairo where all the old mosques and everything
were located. Actually, many of the blocks from the pyramids were used to build some of the
mosques that were in the old city. As I was walking into the old city this woman came up to me
who was all dressed in orange and had a mandala around her neck. and she was a Bagwhan
Rasneechi (sp??) which is very rare in Egypt. She came up to me and said, "I'm looking for
someone and was wondering if you could help me?" I would wear the galabeia??, I would wear the
robes and everything and the turban and everything, so I...we were both sort of dressed
non-Western like. I said, "sure I'll do what I can and try to help you find him." And I could speak
pretty good Arabic so we walked in and she had the name of a man and I thought well "Good
Luck!" you know, but I walked over and asked in Egyptian, "would you happen to be able to help
me find this person?" And he said, "Oh yes. He doesn't live here. But there's a group of his
students, they have a school right across the street."
And I was just like "Okay...". So I went over there and it was essentially a school for Sufis.
They invited us in and we told them who we were looking for and, of course, they said, "Well, the
Sheik, whose name is Mohamed Osman Brahani , he lives in the Sudan. But if you'd like to stay
with us we'll teach you what he teaches us. And so we said "Fine" and we stayed there about a
week with them. It was just wonderful. Their whole practice was just what I had learned in the
pyramid, i.e., essentially focusing on the heart. And they would hold the heart center when they
would do their prayers. And then they had this dance which was not like the normal Sufi
dancing that I was used to where they would do a spiral. Instead, they would move from left to
right swaying in this infinity pattern. They would all line up and I have to admit that it was
usually always the men, the men would line up and the women would then sit off in another
room lined up and they would sit and pray while the men would stand and pray and usually do
some chanting while they were doing their prayers. And this is what they would call zicker
(sp??) which was their remembering. It was very, very powerful and the energy would come
flowing in. They would dance the energy and as they did the drumming and the singing would get
stronger and stronger and they would build the energy. Then they would quiet down and we
would sit for a while and then would go back into it. They would do this almost all night long.
I did this for about a week and at the end of the week I started having visions. Actually a
man would come to me and he was a black man with a turban. I began to tell the group about
my vision. Of course they had pictures of him all over the place and that may have helped but it
was just so clear. And they told me that one of the gifts of the Sheik is that he does visit us in
our dreams very often and teaches us that way.
My friend and I, Bergit (sp??) was her name, decided then that we were going to go to the
Sudan. We were going to take the train and boat and travel the whole overland experience.
When we told the group we were going to go, they said, "no, no, no" and they gave us both
airplane tickets which was really quite astonishing. We flew down and got off of the flight and
had no idea where we were going yet we had the Sheik's name. We got off the plane and it was
interesting because before I left the group had given me new robes and shoes and dressed me
all up and everything. They wanted to me shave but I couldn't, "no, no, I can't do that." But they
had fixed me all up. We walked off the plane and got our bags and were walking along. A taxicab
driver came up and we asked if he could take us to see Sheik Mohamed Osman Brahani. And he
says, "Why certainly!" He knew exactly where we needed to go and he drove us right to the door.
He would not take any money at all which was just total astonishment.
We went to visit inside his home. He had a very small home yet with a very big living room
and people would be lined up and he sat at the end in a big chair. There also were chairs all the
way around the room and other people were sitting around. We came in and introduced
ourselves. It was very informal and he would share and talk. I spent about a week with him, no
actually it was two weeks. The first week was mainly getting to know the people. They would
have dinner and everybody would share the meal. The Sheik would tell me stories and he talked
a lot about how the earth had changed.
He said at one time Adam and Eve were almost like giants, they were huge. He talked
about how as people would take from the earth they would get smaller. So there was a lot of
this and through the years the size of man began to get smaller and smaller. He gave me a
little bit of a history of this but most of it was mythical. Then after the first week he gave me
some beads and said now with each of the beads you say "Allah." There were 100 beads and as
you would go through them this was your way of counting out "Allah" 100 times. You'd really
continually do it all the time rather than just doing it 100 times in the morning or whatever.
Then as you'd go around you had another little counter, just so that at the end of the day you
knew how many you had been able to say. This would give your mind a little to focus on as well.
Then the Sheik -- it was interesting -- he looked at me and said, "You know, usually I ask
the people when you are saying "Allah" to focus on one of the prophets. You can focus on me,
you can focus on Mohammed, on Abraham, Adam or one of the prophets." Then he looked at me
and said "or if you want, you can just visualize the most beautiful light." Because he knew I had
a lot of resistance to worshiping another man and I think he just tuned right into that and he
said, "You just focus and visualize the light and just say Allah." It really came through as "All
love" for me and so that was what I would say, "All love, all love, all love." It was so beautiful
because I didn't have anything else to do and so for the rest of the week that's what I did.
About halfway through the second week, I was laying in bed.. I actually had like a little fever.
The Sheik would come into the guest quarters to visit. There were two buildings and the Sheik
had his own place. The guests would stay in another building about a block away. I was laying in
bed waiting for him to come because he would come every evening. I looked up and he was
standing next to my bed and he asked me, "You know Abdolla, you really should become a
Muslim." At that point I said, "No, I really cannot become a Muslim mainly because of the way
you treat your women." He looked at me and he said, "Well, I understand." For just a second I
looked away and then when I looked back he was gone. I looked around and asked "Well, where
are you? Where did you go?" I got up and walked around and asked everybody, "Where is the
Sheik? I was just talking to him." They said, " no, the Sheik never came." I became very curious
and said, What do you mean? I was just talking to him." Everybody said, "No, no, no, he never
came, he never came." I could not believe it.
So I put on my shoes and went over to his house. And he had someone taking care of him
and I asked "Is the Sheik in?" And he said, "Yeah, he's in. You can come in." And we were both
there together alone. I had asked the caretaker before I went in "Did the Sheik leave?" And he
said, "No, no, he's been here the whole time." I walked in and the Sheik was laying down. As I
walked in, he looked over at me and said, "You know, you really should become a Muslim." Fora
moment I was just speechless. Finally, I looked at him and said "Well, I already answered you."
He just smiled. We meditated together for awhile and he held my hand. They were really into
holding hands there. In my heart part of me wanted what they had with their faith but I just
knew that I could not become a Muslim like they were and that is what I expressed to him and
he said, "Well, that's okay, that's okay." Then I left and continued with all the meditation and
teachings he had given me which I still do today. And that was really the only teaching.
Up to that point I had really just worked on myself. Eventually when I got back to Yemen all
of a sudden it was like a whole new world had opened up for me. I was starting to do out of
body experiences weekly almost, sometimes twice a week, just experiencing flying around and
having incredible experiences. One of the most powerful experiences happened one evening when
I was sitting and meditating. I started to hear these beautiful sounds. First it was like a
drumming sound and then it would move to a bumble bee sound. This would happen quite
regularly yet on one particular night it moved all the way and it was like angels singing.
I had a friend with whom I would share a lot of the experiences I was going through. She
lived in the same house as me. I lived at the top and she lived at the bottom. When I would
meditate I made sure my door was shut and put a mattress over the door so that their
sounds from the other people wouldn't disturb me. On this particular night, I could hear the
beautiful sounds again and all of a sudden I was completely free of my physical body. I was in
the sound and the light was just pouring in. I really wanted to share this with somebody and
before I knew it I was in my friend's room with her and I looked over at her and said, "Susan, do
you want to come with me and listen to some beautiful music?" She was laying in bed and she
looked up and said, "No, I'm too tired" and my heart just sank. Then something inside of me
said, "You can experience this on your own." Instantly, I went into an even deeper level of this
sound and it was just amazing. The angels were singing and it felt like I was in heaven.
Before I knew it, the sun was coming through my window and it was morning. I opened the
door and was going down the steps. Susan was coming up. One of the things I was always
asking was am I going crazy? What's going on here? I could have these experiences probably if I
took LSD or something. That's what it was like. Is there a reality to it? That was the question
that was on my mind. Is there a reality to it? As Susan was coming up the steps and I was
coming down, Susan looked into my eyes and said, "Did you come to my room last night?" That
confirmed it and, of course, I explained it to her. At that point I realized that yes, this is a
shared reality.
That's when the healing started to come in. I found whenever I'd start to get sick I'd put my
hands on my body. My whole body would start to vibrate and shake. Usually, if I felt sick I'd feel
better. I did this mostly on myself. I really did not have any training or know what to do if I
worked with anyone else so I did not work on others. This kept happening.
Eventually I left Yemen. I then went for two years into Nepal and continued working and
meditating and staying with the energy and had many wonderful experiences there as well. But
deep inside I knew that I had to do some learning about healing. So when I came back to
America, I immediately sent off literature to different healing schools and eventually ended up
at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts and studied massage there. The school also
taught energetic healing and vibrational healing and it was just wonderful.
At that point I had also met a woman who offered to do a Reiki session on me and it was
like "Oh, wow!" It was so similar to the energy I had experienced earlier. As she activated it, I
would feel it go through my body. So I took the first and second degree on the first weekend
without even knowing anything more about Reiki. I took it from a lady named Marilyn Alvy who
was one of Barbara Ray's students and then decided that if there was more I wanted to learn
it. The information I had was really very basic and the symbols were interesting but I really
wanted to know more. I knew Barbara Ray had written a book and was quite famous for her
Reiki. So I figured I might as well study with one of the best people and then I found out about
Phyllis Furamoto as well and gave her a call and spoke with her and was going to do the Reiki
mastership. I did not have any money. It was interesting that all of sudden my parents called
me the following weekend and said that the inheritance from my grandfather had come
through. My parents sent the money and so I was able to do the Reiki training. This was all in a
period of over a year.
I was getting ready to go do the Reiki training and all of a sudden Bergit, (sp??) the lady I
met in Egypt, showed up. She had called me so I was expecting her. When she arrived in Santa
Fe, I thought she was coming for a visit. Instead, she said, "You know, I've been asked to take
you back to Khartoum." I said, "Well, I really can't. I've already made these arrangements for the
Reiki master course." and she said that we could work it out. So we went through Houston and
I picked up my passport. I did the Reiki training which was just a weekend. Then we got on an
airplane and went back to Egypt. On the way to Egypt they lost all my bags and I only had like
a couple hundred dollars with me. Fortunately, clothing was inexpensive and so I bought myself
some robes and everything.
We went all the way into Khartoum and they were very hospitable. That's when some of the
elders came up and started to talk to me. They said, "You know, you're one of the few
Americans that really spent any time with the Sheik." They started asking me all kinds of
questions, like what where some of the things he had talked to me about? I did have a
translator but I could understand some of the Arabic. I found what the translator was telling
me was about 80% correct. It was interesting because that's when they told me that the
prayer the Sheik had given me he doesn't give to just anyone. Att that point I could tell that
they wanted me to become a Sheik and start to teach. They also wanted me to marry Bergit
(sp??) so we would teach together. I had not really known Bergit (sp??) that well and wasn't
inclined to marry her.
I spent a couple weeks with them and we worked with the zicker (sp??) and the dancing. It
just wasn't the same. I forgot to even mention, the reason I went back was because the Sheik
had died and this was his yearly anniversary and I was really speaking with his son. They gave
me their blessings and pretty much said to go out and teach anyway, "We know you're not going
to be a Muslim Sheik but share and spread the Sheik's teachings and the things he had taught
you."
I returned to the U.S. and it was interesting because all within a three week period of time I
did the Reiki and then had the Sufi healing work as well. I went back to Santa Fe and then
eventually up to California to study with a man named David Quigley who did Alchemical
Hypnotherapy which is a very wonderful process of healing. At that point, I started a small
healing group and we did toning together and laying on of hands healing. I also began to teach
some of the Reiki but I just did not feel right with it as I did not use the symbols or anything at
all.
It was when I was teaching a class that I met T'Om. He asked me about Reiki because he
felt a lot of the energy I was working with was similar to Reiki. He asked me to teach him some
more about this. I told him I could teach him the whole Reiki mastership if he liked but that I
wasn't into the $10,000 thing at all. I wanted to just teach it. So I essentially taught him the
Reiki and at the same time taught him the Seichim with the symbol Cho Ku Ret. This all came
about within a week's period of time. I had no idea what to call it.
I was dating a woman named Christine who channeling an entity named Marat. When I
started to talk to Marat about Reiki that's when Marat said what I was doing was Seichim.
Marat began to talk about the energy and how it worked and how to do the attunements.
Essentially, the main thing with the attunements was first you draw the energy symbol on
______. It is interesting because he called it the "Cho Ku Ret" which is like the Cho Ku Rei with
an infinity sign connected to it. You take it and first you draw it on ________ for what would
be similar to a first degree healing. The second degree healing would be more that it's
integrated and drawn onto the body and given more dimension. The master degree level would
be where you would stand back and just visualize that person as being this infinity symbol. So
those were the different facets of the energy.
So this is one of the things I taught T'Om. T'Om was really one of the main links. He taught
Phoenix Summerfield (formerly Kathleen McMasters) and then other symbols started to come
through. That's where a lot of the Everlasting Light symbols come through. Then the Mai Yur
Ma (sp??) symbol came through.
I was also at the same time getting a lot of other images. Essentially it comes down to
form. I did not put down what I was getting into any kind of a form whereas T'Om and Phoenix
were very much into creating the form of it. They did a wonderful job. Phoenix, I would say is
even more responsible than T'Om for really getting out and teaching it. We had various
conversations where she called me and asked me about the energy. I really gave her my deepest
blessings to go out and teach it. I would say that she is the one really responsible as she would
go out to the expos and teach it and share it. She eventually went to Australia and touched all
over the world. That is how it all began.
