Seichim energy
Today I achieved the Master Level for Seichim. I finished Seichim Level 1 back in May, and the reason I did it was pretty much because my "witch sister" sent me the link telling me she was doing it and my Higher Self told me to do it. And let's face it - if the Higher Self tells you to do it even though you have NOOO idea why, you do it.
Anyway, after that time I had used the Seichim energy consciously sporadically and that was about it. A few months later however the thought came up about doing the Master level and once again, my Higher Self told me to do it and actually told me the date to do it on. That day was today.
When I arrived, another lady had turned up before me. We were introduced to each other and made some small talk. The more she was talking, the more I was getting and inkling that she might actually be the energy teacher of my beautiful "witch sister"... so I summed up the courage to ask her and turns out that she WAS! I had head a LOT about this woman from my witch sister and the energy that she emanated was absolutely beautiful. Let's call her the Energy Teacher.
So after everyone turned up the attunement/initiation to the Seichim Master level was very beautiful and I could feel the energies coming in and anchoring themselves in me. The cool part about opening the "circle" was that we were required to "sing" each person's name 3 times. The "toning" resonates with the person's entire being and is a quick way to bring all aspects of that person in to the present moment. When my name was sung, I swear it sounded like some sort of exotic Egyptian sort of thing.. and that was pretty coo!
As with most energy healing attunements, there is always an opportunity to practice what we had just been attuned to. I was paired up with Energy Teacher. To be honest I wasn't sure exactly how to use the new energies so I asked if she could go first on me and then I could do it on her. She agreed and we started. Little did I know that THAT would turn out to be a pivotal moment for me and that she was most likely the main driver of me doing the Seichim Master level today (hi5 Higher Self)!
So essentially over the past few weeks/months I became increasingly aware during my meditations that I had a lot of blockages around my heart and throat chakra. I didn't know what they were exactly and I was trying really hard to shift and move the energies each and every time that I meditated. My meditations would give me small shifts and at times provide me with some revelations as to what was going on, but for the most part the shifts would happen without anything being revealed to me. My session today with the Energy Teacher brought it out and it was a very intense but amazing experience.
Essentially I was encouraged to feel the energies within my heart and let them express in whatever way that they wanted to express. The majority of times my body would move to allow me to express what I held deep down - and then other times I was encouraged to feel into particular emotions that came up. The first one was grief and I was literally bawling my eyes out but I was held in such a safe space so that it could just come out. Other times I would be toning (making certain sounds) and I could feel those sounds resonate through my entire body. Sometimes my body would shudder quite violently, and then it'll move in certain ways. It's hard to explain but essentially 2 aspects of my past lives came out. Sounds really stupid but at one point my body was moving like a mermaid.. think of being at the bottom of the sea and moving up towards the surface. My entire body was moving like that. In another incarnation, I felt like I was throwing water all over myself and making symbols around myself - like I was blessing myself. It felt like in a past life I was a priestess. Did I see myself in those embodiments? No. I hear of people who can see themselves in their past lives and I have done so before but today it felt like I actually stepped into who I was all those years ago and I was bringing it into the present time.
After I had finished, I felt so blissed out. The Energy Teacher and I had a debrief and all I could feel was just the love emanating from her and I could see she also had tears in her eyes and she could feel what I had gone through in terms of the release of blockages. It felt sooo good and I feel so blessed to have met her. I have a feeling we'll be keeping in contact and catching up a lot and I know she has a lot to teach me. For example, I'm not the biggest user of symbols and when I heal someone I just do it intuitively and will draw symbols but only if my hands feel like I had to do them. She was the same. She also said a couple of other things that really resonated with me.
It goes to show that even as an energy healer, it's really important to find for yourself your "team" that will keep you on track and help you deal with the issues that you need to face this time around. They may not be there the entire time of your life but they will come in when the time is right for you. Right now, the time is right for me to establish a relationship with her. Even as an energy healer myself I couldn't really open my heart or throat the way that I could with her and the seichim energy. When I asked her about the difference between reiki and seichim (coz let's face it - I struggle with it), she said that reiki was much more "formal" and "structured" and a lot of times it's about the "healer" themselves - i.e. the healer passes on some messages that the healer gets which is channeled through during the session. Some people who are the subject of the reiki healing may feel or see certain things but others may expect you to tell them what the issue was. Seichim on the other hand is more "experiential" and much more about empowering the client to embrace the energies and working with how it manifests in the client's body. I.e. the client consciously welcomes it in and has their own epiphanies about why they act in certain ways, etc. To be honest I resonate with that sort of explanation but can see how each energy healing modality has its time and place.
So there's a few lessons that I learnt today:
Personally I feel that I'm on the right track in terms of figuring out what I will be doing in the future. I'd been told by a number of people that I was some sort of "facilitator" or something and I'm now beginning to see how that pathway could potentially work out. I'm off on a one week shamanic retreat next week. I had been stressing out about driving 3 hours to a place north of Newcastle but the Universe has my back in that I'm actually going to give another person who I've never met a lift up there who will be my navigator :) Bring on further transformation!

So there's a few lessons that I learnt today:
- If you have an inkling that you need to do something, go somewhere - do it. You might not know WHY you are doing whatever it is at that point in time but guaranteed there will be a time when the light bulb goes off and you go "dang the Universe is so smart - now I know why this happened".
- Be open to meeting new people and asking for help. The whole purpose of being on this earth is to experience things and there are ALWAYS people who will help you out.. but only if you are open to it and let them.
- Listen to your inner wisdom - the session today also cemented the message (AGAIN) of relying on your inner wisdom in terms of discerning what is right for you. What is right for one person may not be right for you. E.g. I realised today that the way that I was attuned to Seichim is most likely not how I would go about doing it.. but the good thing about Seichim is that you can make it your own - there's no set structure about what you must do and what you must not do when it comes to using the energy or attuning someone.
