A few months ago, my guides suggested I receive the Sekhem Heka attunements. I was surprised because they normally attune me to any energies I need, and I had done levels one and two of Sekhem Seichim Reiki a couple of decades previously. But when I relented and received the seven Sekhem Heka attunements, I understood why they suggested it.

Over the course of seven consecutive days, I pulled in the energies that were sent to me, sphere by sphere. Naturally, my guides used the opportunity to send me other energies which could travel along these Egyptian frequencies. Not only that, but each attunement magnified the Reiki energy I already channel. So I now do a lot more hands-on healing than I have done in years. And I am really enjoying it.

So what is Sekem Heka?

“Sekem Heka is an Egyptian healing and spiritual system rooted in the understanding that life-force energy (Sekem) flows through all beings and is shaped by divine intelligence and sacred utterance (Heka). Together, Sekem Heka represents the conscious channelling of healing power guided by cosmic order, intention, and wisdom.”

Sekhem literally means Power or might and was a term applied to gods and goddesses, and also to rulers because they were said to embody the energy of a particular god or goddess. Sekhem is a form of healing that comes from a system called Seichim, which is a system of healing created by Patrick Zieglar after an initiatic experience in the Great Pyramid. Seichim itself is also partly a derivative of Reiki. Reiki opened the way for many other healing systems.

Heka was the deification of magic and medicine. The KA symbol, in the hieroglyphic language, relates to its being a ‘vital force’. ‘The Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts depict Heka as a supernatural energy that the gods possess’. “Heka magic is many things, but, above all, it has a close association with speech and the power of the word. In the realm of Egyptian magic, actions did not necessarily speak louder than words – they were often one and the same thing. Thought, deed, image, and power are theoretically united in the concept of Heka.” (O. Goelet 1994)

So, that’s the theoretical information. What follows is my own experience while I was writing this post:

An Egyptian serpent energy made itself known in my energy. It rose through me, and at first, I didn’t realise that I was chanting “Sekhem Heka” over and over again. Like an earworm you suddenly realise you’re singing before you become aware of what you are singing. I tuned in, and the serpent showed me how to share the attunements through the Serpent Breath. This is the serpent that is awakened in you at the first degree and which gives you the ability to channel the serpent energies of the earth. When you are giving hands-on healing, you might find that your body moves in a side-to-side fashion, like a snake. This is how the serpent energy manifests as it moves through your body, allowing you to channel the fertile energies of the earth into the body.

Here, however, the serpent held the serpent energy of the Egyptian priests and priestesses who channelled the creative energy of the serpent into the landscape, through their bodies and consciousness, creating fertility and abundance. The Heka of the Earth, effectively. I am also aware of a South American aspect to this serpent energy, too, but I am waiting to see what that means. It feels related to the serpent priests/priestesses there, too.

The seven spheres contain the Sekhem Heka energy, along with the Usui Reiki symbols, plus the embodiment of each Egyptian God/Goddess that is anchored in each chakra. This latter seemed to be of more importance. The symbols of the Sekhem Heka system relate to the Neters of specific gods and goddesses, but it is their embodiment which seems to most important. It also felt like a wonderful gift from these beings, in appreciation and gratitude for being their channels in this time.

This was their message:

“You called, we came. You asked, we answered. We appear before you now as divine emissaries of light. Pulling all of our wisdom, all of our love, pulling it from the Universe of Being. Anchoring it into each of the people who receive our energies. Trust in our beneficence now. Trust in our frequency. Let it fill you with light. Bring the awakening of Egypt again. Be our divine serpent, our servant in the light. Awakening the temple energies. Awakening the creator and creatrix within you. Be the serpent. Heal and be healed.“

An hour later, and I still felt those energies. Just as in all Gaia Method Earthways attunements, where you embody the divine energies, just as the pharaohs and Queens once did, you will also embody the energies of these beings and all they represent. These are: Sekhmet, Heka, Isis, Ra (or Aten), Bast, Maat, Wadjet and Nut.

Sekhmet is the lioness-headed goddess. The feminine solar light and strength. Originally, she was the embodiment of the fierce summer sun. If you’ve ever spent a summer in Upper Egypt, you will know exactly what I mean. Anchored into the Base chakra, she is feminine power and excellent at setting boundaries. She gives you the power to say no to what you do not want and helps you to recognise when something does not feel right. She is strength and self-knowledge.

Heka, as a God, is the ruler of magic and medicine. Magic to me is manifesting and the invoking of specific energies for positive purposes. But as I mentioned above, he is the god of invoking vital force, or universal energy. Heka is also anchored into the base chakra. Together, they provide you with the strength and stability needed to manifest the life you want, removing obstacles to that new reality.

Isis is the cosmic mother. The nurturer. Mother to Horus, the Divine messenger. She is also the Divine healer of the wounded masculine. She enfolds you in her wings, giving you divine nurturing. In physical terms this means giving protection and nurturing to others or receiving it yourself. She is anchored into the sacral centre. We all need nurturing and when Isis in anchored into the sacral she nurtures our inner child, allowing us to heal the deepest wounds with love and care.

Ra/Aten. Ra is the softer winter sun, in physical terms. He is the masculine fertility energies of the sun. All the deities of ancient Egypt were personified by the Gods as a way for people to understand their function. The Aten is the solar energy as known by Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Its arms of energy reach down to us, giving us positive life-giving energy. He is anchored into the solar plexus. Here we feel our own true power. Not power over others, but self power and the sure knowledge that we deserve to be here and that we can lead good lives. We learn to self our higher Divine Will rather than the patterns of the past and our own ‘little’ will.

The goddess Bast, or Bastet, is the cat goddess. And in this system she is the goddess of heart healing and forgiveness. She is anchored in the heart. With this goddess comes a healing balm which heals our hurt and old emotional pain. We also can extend this healing to others. It is gentle and loving, just like the cats we love and who give us a sense of being loved, even when we do not feel that from people or from the significant others in the present or the past.

Maat is the goddess of Justice, of cosmic order and truth. She weighs the heart after death. But also is the voice of your own conscience, your soul, helping you to make wise choices. She is anchored into the throat chakra. Here she speaks her truth, but she speaks it in a way that others can hear us. It is not always easy to say what we feel, but she teaches us how to.

Wadjet is the cobra goddess of protection. She is the goddess of the Uraeus serpent, the fertility energy that rises up the spine and over the head to reside on the third eye. To activate her is to be her, seeing through her eyes. Seeing with her eyes it to see with wisdom and insight. She is anchored in the Third Eye.

With her eyes we see what we need to see. The choices ahead, the decisions we need to make. The truth.

Nut is the Goddess of the Milky Way, and Cosmic intelligence and so represents the connection to All That Is. She is the mystery of the Universe. She is the Mother of Isis and Osiris, of Set and Nephthys. The twin pairs that represent light and dark. Everything needed for wholeness and balance. She is anchored in the crown. She is our link to divinity and our own higher self.

This is a powerful initiation into the healing serpent energies of Egypt that massively boosts your healing, as I discovered. But, they are passed on through the frequency of the Gaia Method Earthways and the connection with the serpent energies. If you are already attuned to the master level of any Reiki system, after you have received these seven attunements, you can then initiate other people into the system. I use Egyptian oils when I am passing the attunements, oils created by a woman who worked with the temple energies at Giza in Egypt. I apply the oil before doing the attunements so that you are also connected with these energies on a physical level. I bought these temple oils twenty-five years ago, when I went to Giza to do an Ascension workshop, never knowing I would one day be using them in this way. But my Soul knew…

You don’t have to have received the Gaia Method Earthways attunements to receive these attunements. They are open to everyone.

If you have been attuned to the Gaia Method Earthways, you will learn how to embody these qualities/energies. They become part of your psyche. They are not energies that you channel in the way you might channel healing energies, but more that you become the energies, just as you become all the other energies of this system.
