Sekhem Heka: Remembering the Egyptian Language of Light.

February 4, 2026February 18, 2026 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

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.

Sekhem Heka Attunement.

In this attunement, you will receive seven attunements in the form of crystalline spheres all attuned to Sekhem Heka energies, Usui Reiki energies and the seven gods and Goddesses via the Serpent Breath. All in all, there are twenty-one energies in this attunement, with each chakra holding 3 energies in each one. As with all my attunements, I will work with a crystal layout too and record the session.

Hatshepsut’s Temple.

August 23, 2015August 24, 2015 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

One of the places where I have carried out initiations has been in Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple at Deir el Bahri. Initiations seem to happen there naturally, perhaps because she was a server of the Goddess and a Priestess working with Earth energies. All of the energywork I have done there over the years tells me how she worked and how powerful she was, not only in a physical sense but in an energetic one. Many people have worked with this temple but here I am explaining it through my own direct experience of working here over the years with the Gaia Method.

This is what I have learned about this temple over the years:

The three layers each represent different levels of human experience.

The bottom level represents physical fertility and power within the Earth plane, the Mother, earthly power as symbolised by the lions, which once flanked the bottom ramp. The carvings along the lower level show you the daily agricultural life in Luxor.

The top level represents the ‘Sky’ or Father, open to the upper dimensional energies,the Sun and water. This is very much like the temples of the S. America’s where both sun and water gods were honoured. Sun and water are what fertilises the plants, which feed us. In this upper court is a geometric field, which is contained by the element of ‘Water’, the Source of Divine Feminine nourishment and knowledge. This is the container of Hatshepsut’s knowledge and energy of the Energy grid in Luxor and beyond. At the Midwinter solstice, the light shines in through the Holy of Holies on this level, then it is channelled, via a serpent energy, down to the earth, bringing fertility and abundance. The carving of a serpent undulates down both sides of the long stairway, from this upper level to the ground level, ending with a Horus Bird, which is the human medium, the son/daughte, able to ‘fly’ between Sky and Earth. It reminds me of the pyramid of Quetzalcoatl in Chitzen Itza where, on the Spring Equinox, the sun creates shadows on the side of the pyramid, making it look like the serpent is undulating down its sides, bringing the Source of life with it to the Earth.

The middle layer represents humanity, living on the earth, beneath the sky and sun. It is the level with the greatest area in front of it, apart from the ground level. From this platform the energy of the Sun can be channelled into the land, showering it with blessings and abundance by the priests and priestesses. This is not simply a ritualised act, for the energies channelled are very real.

On one side of this middle level there is the Chapel of Hathor, the Goddess of feminine abundance. Hathor is often portrayed as a Cow goddess. She brings abundance to mankind through her milk. The cow has been seen as sacred in many cultures around the world because she gives of her body for the benefit of mankind. As a cow, she also represents the overall abundance of Mother earth which is freely given. The Energy of the Ruby is anchored in this chapel via a sacred flame. There is also a direct link from this site to the Obelisk in Karnak temple which radiates the energy out through the upper layers of the earth’s energy field.

On the opposite side of the temple is the chapel of the God of Anubis, guardian to the Underworld. This contains the Emerald energies and is the Masculine counterpart to the Feminine energies. For this reason Hatshepsut’s temple is the ideal place to experience initiation. The balance of male and female is held here in this layer as fertility is created through the combination of male and female energies. It can be no other way. Energies are held in balance both horizontally, through this level, and vertically, through the energy of the three levels of the temple.

Over the years I have joined Hatshepsut’s temple to Karnak, Luxor temple and Medinet Habu, in a landscape temple, which bridges the River Nile. All temples in Luxor were once energetically joined together and yearly the temple priests activated this connection by a sacred procession of the Opet festival. This ensured that fertility was maintained in the landscape and the people were fed.

Queen Hatshepsut.

The sun moves from the upper level of the Sun and Amun, God of Wind, to the lower ‘human’ level, and then through humanity, who, by their physical actions, create the fertility necessary for their survival. The energy is ‘stepped down’ from God/Goddess, to humanity and then to the land. All of the necessary ingredients for survival exist here: Sun, Water, Wind and Earth! A wonderful place indeed.

Next time you visit try tuning into these energies and see what energies Hatshepsut’s wonderful Temple gifts you with.

Eve’s Garden.

August 28, 2013 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

Replying to Deb-Aurah Araznu’s (link at bottom of page) status update on Facebook I decided that my reply needed some expanding. The poster was describing her experience of spiritual expansion and she spoke about the Garden of Eden. Having been brought up as a Catholic in a convent we were taught the story of Adam and Eve and the tree in the Garden of Eden. Needless to say, when I was 6 years old I didn’t question the wisdom of the nuns. After all, they were closer to God than I.

Or maybe not! As I developed as a healer and worked more and more on the meaning of myth, often I would awaken from sleep with ‘realisations’. One morning I awoke with the image of a naked Eve standing on the roots of a large tree, with an apple in her hand, and she had a serpent entwined around her body. But this was not the Christian Eve. This was the Mother Goddess, a far more ancient version than the Christian vision. The ‘knowing’ that went with this picture was this: Eve represented the Mother of Creation, nature, that which fed us and sustained our physical bodies. The apple that she was offering to mankind/Adam, was her wisdom and knowledge of the Divine Feminine; The path of the Mother. Divine Love. The serpent was the energy which flowed through the earth, it brought fertility to the land, and fed the people and all that lived upon it. The tree was the Tree of Life. Not in the way which the Jewish people understood it but as the vehicle through which the apples might be brought to humanity. The tree was life. It is only through living a physical life, experiencing the whole range of emotions and life events that we can truly grow.

We do not grow by forever being out of our bodies and in our minds; that growth is limited. The wisdom of the Mother therefore is the Mystery of Life, birth, death and everything in between. Our sacredness is experienced through our bodies. It is in the experience of living that we face our greatest challenges and experience our greatest joys. Through the realm of emotion we learn to overcome fear and to rise into our soul awareness, instilling in ourselves the flow of Divine Providence. The Mother is Abundance.

In Ancient Egypt the Mother Goddess Isis was represented by the Sycamore Tree which fed the Pharaoh and his family. But Isis, and Osiris, are said to have been born of Lusaaset, (The Great One who comes forth). She was the Grandmother of the Deities, and she too was an Acacia tree. She was the Goddess of Creation.

But why trees? Apart from the obvious link to the fact that they do provide life to humans in the form of food, syrup, water, and wood? Well, the answer to this also came in the shape of a ‘morning realisation’. I awoke, on another morning, with an image of the Kabbalah, the Jewish Tree of life superimposed on Egypt!

While I was walking to work later that morning I had another image. The central ‘trunk’ of this tree was the Nile River, feeding the entire tree. The Branch containing the three spheres Hod, Gevurah and Binah were the Goddess Isis, the Divine Feminine. The opposite three, on the other branch was Osiris, the Divine Masculine. The Tree of life, in the Jewish tradition represented creation and the Divine Balance between the feminine and the masculine. But that wasn’t all. Each sphere represented a sacred place on the map of Egypt. The Isis spheres representing sites which were predominantly female and the Osiris spheres representing sites which were masculine in their nature. The spheres along the central trunk were sites where the energies were ‘balanced’ between male and female.

The tree was not purely an esoteric idea but a real, workable map of energy sites where, when all these sites are functioning correctly, brings balance and abundance to the country. The lines on the tree show the connections between each site as all sites are connected via a matrix of energy lines which feed the landscape and its atmosphere with the energies of the site. It functions a little like a Mother board in a computer. Remembering that the Hebrews came from Egypt with Moses, who was a priest, it is easy to see how the sacred knowledge went with them. But somewhere along the line the information was lost and it became a purely esoteric method of connecting to the Divine. The Mother aspect having been relinquished somehow.

This brings us back to the garden of Eden! The Garden is the Realm of the Mother in Balance with the Father. For the tree cannot exist without the life-giving sun and rain. But the Hebrews who brought the knowledge of the Tree of Life and the Garden of Eden decided that they no longer needed the Mother. They could do it all themselves, even though to begin with they obviously brought the belief in Hathor, in the form of the Golden cow, with them, along with the story of Isis and the tree. But the story of Divine Harmony and Balance was distorted so that now the Divine Feminine was reduced to being a tempting harlot, weak and ignorant, bringing shame to mankind and forcing their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Somehow the Hebrew God became the fearful, avenging and angry God who hated the Mother and all women of the Earth.

So what part of ‘Honour thy Father AND thy Mother’ did they not understand?
