Joanna Bristow-Watkins spent over 15 years in senior management specialising in customer care and training.  Driven by a desire for greater inner peace, she overcome her initial scepticism of energy healing and became a practitioner and teacher of Reyad Sekh Em and leader of spiritual pilgrimages.  Developed by Joanna herself, Reyad Sekh Em is an ultra high vibrational Egyptian healing system which harnesses the elemental healing rays of earth, air, fire, water and spirit with etheric crystalline and angelic energies plus sound vibration and sacred breathing.  Daily use of this healing art coupled with frequent visits to sacred sites, has made Joanna one of the leading authorities on constructive energy body manipulation.  She is a regular contributor to Paradigm Shift (see links) and other respected esoteric publications, and has acquired strategies for detecting and transmuting entities and manifested energetic encodements that are restricting the spiritual and/or emotional progress of their host.

GOOD VIBRATIONS

We live in a multi-dimensional reality and many of us, consciously or unconsciously, shift in and out of various dimensions all the time.  These other dimensions co-exist in the same physical ‘space’ as ours and are host to other living energy beings (Angels, Ascended Masters, various Elemental Devas and other spirits), many of whom have a far greater perception of our universe - and the role of the human race within it - than we can easily understand. Thus heaven and earth co-exist right here, as do our past and future selves! 

The separation between these different dimensions is quite simply vibration; within each dimension we operate and exist at a different vibratory rate.  Most of us are unable to consciously alter this and hence we are oblivious to any other existence but our own.  Most of us requested this state for our present incarnation but Psychics or Mediums communicate with these other dimensions by raising their own cellular vibration (activating their Higher Selves) so that they can see, hear, feel or intuit messages.   

This time period, leading up to 2012, was pre-ordained thousands, if not millions, of years ago as a time of awakening on Planet Earth.   Many ancient civilizations, the Mayans, the Native Americans and the Khemitians (Ancient Egyptians) all agreed on this fact. This awakening involves the convergence of the higher dimensions with our own.  As a precursor to this auspicious event, we are experiencing an unprecedented increase in vibration which is raising the consciousness of everyone here.  This has resulted in a much wider acceptance of spiritualism generally and a greater interest in all paranormal activities. Since 1972, a series of cataclysmic universal events has led to an even greater increase in this vibratory rate.  Occasional exponential increases happen when new galactic portals open, or on numerologically significant dates and other triggers.

The outcome of these energetic shifts is that many of us have remembered that we begged for the opportunity to incarnate now to experience this amazing event.  We also agreed to act as catalysts for others to remember.  We do this by offering assistance to others who wish to consciously raise their cellular vibration and hence accelerate their path towards spiritual enlightenment.

There are many ways of facilitating psychic growth, each appealing to different personality types.  My preferred method uses Reyad Sekh Em, Egyptian healing (similar to Reiki) using the elemental healing rays of earth, air, water, fire and spirit.  Healing sessions open a ‘door’ leading to psychic growth.  Initiations (also known as attunements) into Reyad Sekh Em progress the recipient on their spiritual journey which is further empowered by visiting sacred sites; concentrated energy hot-spots positioned on ley-lines.  HARMONY JOURNEYS organise visits to these sacred sites to maximise self-empowerment through group meditations for global healing.

Whilst looking for the ideal guide for the HARMONY JOURNEYS Sacred Sites of Egypt Tours, I came across a website (no longer available) belonging to Karena Bryan.   Karena is a practising Shaman and a font of knowledge regarding Khemitian traditions. (Ancient Egyptians called their land KHEMIT - pronounced KHEMPT). As part of her ongoing research Karena spent 3-4 months for six consecutive years living in Nazlet El Simman, the tribal village at the foot of the Giza Plateau, under the direct tutelage of Abd El Hakim.

An indigenous Egyptian tribal elder and spiritual master, Hakim is a world renowned archaeologist, teacher and Egyptologist. Born and raised at the foot of the Sphinx and the Giza Plateau, Abd El Hakim, whose name literally means, "Slave to Wisdom," is an indigenous tribal elder of the Awyani, or 'Eye' clan of Egypt. Besides being a revered master of the ancient Al Khemitian wisdom keepers, Hakim, as he prefers to be called, is the latest in a line of oral traditionalists and has degrees in Egyptology and archaeology, together with over fifty years of professional field experience. 

Having now met Hakim on several occasions, I have been fortunate to absorb some of the ancient knowledge myself.  There are some inconsistencies in the teachings, but these are mainly caused by the limitations of language to fully and clearly express the concepts we are seeking to explain.

Reyad Sekh Em evolved from Tera Mai™ Reiki and Seichem, a system originally devised by Kathleen Milner).   Traditional Seichem Masters claim that their knowledge is derived from the same ancient Sanskrit texts where Dr. Usui found the Reiki information.  The spelling of Seichem, Sekh Em, SKHM is purely arbitrary.  Ancient Egyptians did not have any vowels in their alphabet so S KH M was just a series of guttural sounds and the spelling in our English language is just to reflect the pronunciation.  Hakim believes that the Sekh Em spelling best indicates the way this healing art should be pronounced.  Sekh Em is listed in Middle Egyptian dictionaries as ‘make complete’ or ‘power’.  Se Khem - another alternative spelling - would mean ‘born of Khemit’. 

In February 2002, I was working with my sister Angela McGerr.  Angela, through her Quadrille Publications, A Harmony of Angels, Harmony Angel Cards and Angelic Abundance, introduces an authentic approach to the concept of Angelic assistance in everyday life.  Together, we had a series of consciousness-raising experiences where we were shown updated procedures and symbols for the Seichem attunements, which reflected this raised vibrational frequency.  Eight separate visits to Egypt, and various meetings with Hakim, led to the development of REYAD SEKH EM as an authentic Egyptian approach.  This includes self-empowerment meditations, etheric crystals, colour breathing and sound healing vibrations and also embraces Angela’s Angelic philosophies.

KHEMITOLOGY

The language of the Ancient Khemetians was known as Souf.  The name EGYPT was derived by the Greeks, who occupied the land around 500 BC;  a stone tablet in Memphis gave tribute to the land Hit Ka Ptah (which became Hi-gi-ptos = Egypt) which meant place of the image of Ptah.  Ptah was a prominent deity at Memphis in the Old Kingdom (2700-2100 BC). The Greeks regarded Egypt as the font of all knowledge, hence the word Philosophy, derived from Philo - Souf, meaning ‘son of (Philo) the Egyptian Culture’.

The word pyramid is also Greek, meaning what is on the horizon.  The Khemitian name for pyramid is Per-Neter meaning House of Nature or even House of the Gods.  Most pyramids, and certainly the three main ones at Giza, were never built as burial chambers (for example the sarcophagus in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid is larger than the entrance to the chamber) but as places of worship – to be at one with nature and the universe.    Built on a massive clockwise white light energy spiral, it was most likely used as an initiation chamber following twelve years of study into the Left Eye of Horus Mystery School and twelve years with the Right Eye of Horus Mystery School.  Initiates meditated out on the spiral for between two-and-a-half and four days, returning to their bodies with an expanded consciousness and understanding of unity.  Traces of a white powder secreted by the pituitary gland through the forehead when the Theta state level of meditation is reached, have been found in some of these sarcophagi.  A few initiates found the experience so wonderful that they decided not to return to their bodies and ‘died’ in the process – but it was their choice.  The Queen’s Chamber was used to energetically stabilise the initiates after their return. Hakim believes that the Sphinx was built over 54,000 years ago, and the Pyramids at Giza around 13,000 years ago, using technology far in advance of today’s. This inlcuded sonar cutting equipment and anti-gravitational devices which enabled them to lift great weights effortlessly.  

The Khemitian population comprised 42 different tribes who together made up the Sesh.  Some of the tribes may have been survivors from Atlantis and possibly Lemuria, who escaped the destruction of their lands using Merkaba technology.  Khemit was a Matriarchal society with authority being passed down from mother to daughter – only the identity of the mother can be guaranteed. 

Life was viewed as a cycle, connected with the sun which was born every morning in the East and set every night in the West.  Nut - the Goddess of the Sky - was said to be give birth to the sun in the mornings and swallow it at night.  During the hours of darkness the sun disc was said to travel the Dwat - or void - until it was reborn.   The cycle of life was seen as being similar, with no fear attached to either the beginning or end.  The Khemitians had no word for death in their language.  A dying person was said to be Westing.

It was also believed that we all have the capacity for 360 senses, rather than the five senses that we acknowledge.  These other senses are re-awakened by self-empowerment activities including positive intent, meditation, healing energies, attunements and by pilgrimages to key sacred sites.  All of these activities raise our vibratory rate and therefore act as triggers for clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience and much more that cannot be readily identified by current levels of understanding.  These senses can also be empowered by the elements.  We are said to be over 90% water.  Maya (also the name of a major ancient civilisation) and Ankh were both Khemitian words used for water.  The Ankh was also the key to everlasting life.  An old expression said ‘she has life, she has water, she is water’.

The Egyptian five pointed star represented the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.  Reyad means ‘Elemental’, like a little piece of Heaven - the source of the Cosmic Spirit - Chi, Prana or whatever we wish to call it.  Hakim believes that the meaning of the word within you is much greater than any definition.  The 5 pointed star also represented the five stages of the sun during the day and the five stages of life: Dawn known as Kheper (the scarab), high noon known as Ra (the ram), the afternoon sun was Oon (the wise), full afternoon sun Aten (the wiser) and finally at dusk Amen (the hidden or veil).

Bu Wizzer

Bu Wizzer, meaning the Land of Osiris, was an area of Khemit, stretching to Abu Ruwash (spelled Abu Roash on the map) in the North and Dashur in the South, bordered by the Libyan desert to the west and Helwan to the east.  Bu Wizzer incorporated Giza, Saqqara, Abu Sir and Abu Gurab (site of an ancient ruined obelisk).  These sacred sites are all linked by a Fabonacci Spiral - a naturally occurring phenomenon which mirrors the sacred geometry of the Golden Mean Spiral.  The Golden Mean Spiral is based on the Phi Ratio, which is the ratio featured everywhere in human anatomy.

This is the energy spiral which passes through the King’s Chamber and is responsible for the heightened energy experienced there.  It is why this was such a potent location for the Left and Right Eyes of Horus Mystery Schools Initiations.

Saqqara was undoubtedly a healing metropolis at least 7000 years ago.  You can still see the platform used by the healing physicians to diagnose medical conditions.  Patients would stand on the stage and the physicians would enter one of 21 chambers surrounding the stage area.  These chambers each contained, at around head height, a niche about two foot wide, two foot high and two foot deep.  By placing the head inside the niche and concentrating on the patient, the physician made an empathic connection with the patient’s auric field and also with the energy field of the Earth.  The construction of the healing temple allowed the signals from the patient to be amplified by underground water flow which determined what healing treatments would rectify the ailment.  These healing chambers and diagnostic niches, normally not accessible to tourists, are visited during our journey.

All healing should be given with a Loving Intent - you are sending Unconditional Love and Light into the person you are healing (which could of course be yourself).  Love and Light are the two strongest forces in the Universe, and it is these forces we are harnessing or channelling to give healing.  Thus the physical centre from which healing emanates is the heart – the sacred heart chakra specifically.  Successful healers have a driving motivation to supply unconditional love and compassion to all mankind and other living creations (plant, animal and mineral – crystals and geographical landscapes all respond to positive emotions).

Sometimes there are etheric structures within the auric field, either brought forward from past life experiences or there as a pre-arranged regulators, that block psychic progress.  Often they are activated in waves in response to local fluctuations and global energy peaks.  This can ‘park’ an individual’s spiritual awakening at a particular point until they feel ready to progress further.  Appropriate courses, healing treatments, focussed meditations or even force of intent may be sufficient to dissolve these structures.  Otherwise there are various ways to remove them, when individuals feel ready to do so.

I was amazed when I first started to notice these structures, sometimes referred to as Atlantean Devices.  They can appear as a form of wiring bolted into metal plates often over the hips or shoulders, normally prominent on one side of the body at the ankle, knee, hips, solar plexus, neck and even head, or any combination of these. Frequently they are also wired into the heart.  They are removed by undoing the bolts and pulling out the wires in a specific order, whilst rebalancing the energy by introducing sacred colour breathing into the site.  A sacred sound may also help the vibrational adjustment.  The sound sometimes activates other latent energy structures which enhance the spiritual awakening.  An ordination into The Order of Melchisadec can follow which  involves the activation of an etheric head circlet (or tiara) that holds a crystal over the third eye; periodic tightness around the forehead can be an indication that one of these is awaiting activation.  This circlet is an emblem of the Order and the chosen crystal represents the wearer’s role within the order and the angel/ascended master with whom they work most closely.  Amethyst can represent MELCHISADEC (also spelled Melchizedek) himself, Ruler of the Violet Ray, and Ascended Master St. Germain, Guardian of the Violet Ray, and the Angels of the Violet Fire.  The Violet Fire is the fire of spiritual alchemy, which transmutes all negativity back to pure white light and brings about spiritual growth and transformation. 

REYAD SEKH EM INITIATIONS AND CLEANSING CYCLE

Initiations can also be called Attunements, as people are actually being attuned to a new vibrational rate.  The physical body needs to adjust to this new rate through a 21 day clearing cycle where the physical body is ‘boosted’ to cope with the faster cellular vibration and the spiritual awakening which follows.

The word 'initiate' also means 'to begin'; achieved by placing ancient sacred symbols into the aura at specific chakra points.  These symbols manifest in a dimension normally outside our awareness causing a change in the energy field.  Welcoming these symbols into the auric field sends a positive signal to the loving energy beings (Angels, Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides etc.) in other dimensions that the person is ready to interact with them.  As these beings exist in a higher vibrational state, we must increase our own vibrational state to bring awareness of their presence and accept their loving guidance.  They will boost memories of ancient truths and open the door to soul awakening.  Once this has happened, it is up to the individual to decide how and when they walk the path towards enlightenment.

The Sekh Em initiation opens the body to the universal rays of Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Spirit. Each Level (1, 2 & 3) gives a cumulative ability to channel one-third of each ray.  Chronic illness, including stress, can be helped by using the energy every day to clear any blockages, quickly creating a strong clear channel for the energy. Fear is another common barrier to self-empowerment.  Society feeds us fear at every opportunity.  Our best approach for overcoming fear is to nurture a trust that all will be well.

The initiation itself also starts a three week healing, cleansing cycle starting with the root chakra.  The day after the attunement the clearing will progress to the sacral chakra; the next day the solar plexus and so on. One week after the attunement the second, more refined, cycle of clearing starts again at the root chakra. Two weeks after the attunement the third cycle of chakra clearing will begin. Initiates should make the most of this cleansing cycle by letting go of old issues; eating healthy organic food and drinking lots of spring water, as well as allowing time to exercise and rest.

The chakras are like portals leading to different energy fields in the aura. They are the interface between the life-force energy inside our physical body and the vast expanse of this energy which exists on other dimensions.  Energy moves in and out of chakras in a spiral formation. The chakras can become blocked, silted up, closed down or stuck open.  Sekh Em (and any form of Reiki) can clean and rebalance chakras very effectively.  Most sources agree on seven chakras, each represented by the colours of the rainbow and vibrating at different speeds.  The lowest (base or root) chakra is the most dense and the crown chakra has the highest vibration.  All are linked to angels.

The main chakra energy centres of the body form a column in the core of the body (about the thickness of the circle formed by thumb and forefinger) which continues to form the top and bottom of a star tetrahedron.  In addition to the eight main colours (the seven colours of the spectrum starting with red at the Base to violet/white at the crown, plus the secondary colour of magenta pink at the sacred heart chakra), the aura area above the crown chakra is depicted as pure white, symbolising purity and spirituality.  As a person develops spiritually the entire etheric sheath (the part of the aura nearest to the body) turns gradually from pale blue towards white, and in the most highly spiritual persons it is pure white, hence the halo effect above the crown.

The extent to which clearing is experienced, either physically or emotionally, may reflect how people have progressed on their spiritual journey.  However, if people experience more discomfort than anticipated – they should take heart – as other dimensional helpers may have decided to escalate the pace! In order to minimise your discomfort, the REYAD SEKH EM system utilises a protective Group Merkaba field throughout your clearing period.  This links initiates together within an intensified electro-magnetic energy field, enhancing the environment for adjusting to new vibrations. 

This is just one way of achieving an increased vibratory rate and therefore an accelerated path to enlightenment.  Some people are fortunate in receiving a fast-track awakening, however, such training courses can be extremely intensive and not for the faint-hearted!  Soul awakening is a very personal journey, a careful assessment of the style and approach of the chosen mentor for this journey is advisable.

KHEMITIAN AFFIRMATION

THE LIGHT SURROUNDS ME

THE LIGHT COMES THROUGH ME

I AM THE LIGHT

Pilgrimages are as old as religion itself.

Jesus' followers visiting Calgary, the annual trip to Mecca, the crusades, the aboriginal walkabouts and even the sacred path to Santiago de Compostela, popularised by Shirley Maclaine's Camino all fit into this category.

As the operator of Harmony Journeys – personally escorted sacred site tours - I am often asked why people are attracted to sacred sites and what is the personal benefit of visiting them?

Essentially sacred sites are locations identified in ancient times where the veil between this and other higher vibrational worlds and dimensions is thin.  Often they are energy ‘hotspots’ positioned on strong ley-lines (typically where many cross) or electro-magnetic force-fields which I believe our ancient forefathers were much more capable of detecting.  With practice some of us can sense a tingling sensation and visiting them in person undoubtedly fosters a ‘feelgood factor’, especially when planned to tie-in with the opening of new galactic portals, these being dates when we experience heightened energy vibrations.

Not only are sacred tours a wonderful way to see international sites which have inspired generations, it is also unbelievable how much spiritual clarity and psychic growth comes from these experiences.  We all carry personal codes and as we walk into theses areas we absorb new data and programming as well as often activating latent programmes which have awaited our arrival bringing love and light to the area.

Egypt, for example, simply oozes with powerful and sacred energy hotspots.  As your soles touch the Egyptian soil, so the depth of your soul is also touched and a personal journey of awakening commences.  On a typical tour, we go directly up to the sphinx and have special permission to meditate between the paws.  We also spend two hours inside the Great Pyramid, we take turns to lie in the sarcophagus which was never used for burial and was a high initiation chamber, chanting powerful personal and global healing incantations and the entire group creates a vibrational vortex for each person in turn, which is wonderfully nurturing.

Near Giza we also visit Saqqara.  Saqqara was undoubtedly a healing metropolis at least 7000 years ago.  You can still see the platform used by the healing physicians to diagnose medical conditions.  Patients would stand on the stage and the physicians would enter one of 21 chambers surrounding the stage area.  These chambers each contained, at around head height, a niche about two foot wide, two foot high and two foot deep.  By placing the head inside the niche and concentrating on the patient, the physician made an empathic connection with the patient’s auric field and also with the energy field of the Earth.  These healing chambers and diagnostic niches, normally not accessible to tourists, are visited during our journeys.

Tel El Amarna is 3-5 hours away from Giza and has to be visited to be believed!  It is a like a parallel universe housed in this dimension, even as you cross the Nile tributary to get there you feel as if you are shifting into a dream reality.  At the ruins themselves there is a definite connection with the Christ Consciousness Energy and many of us have experienced parallel episodes concurrent with the Christ era whilst at this amazing place.

Synchronicities are commonplace on our trips; in Peru we found ourselves performing ancient ceremonies with the Shaman at Machu Picchu and other Incan power-spots and we participated in a full moon ceremony at the island of the Sun and Moon in Bolivia for the handover of the sacred feminine after 12,000 years with Incan descendants who believed we were the group of pale people from afar who had been predicted long ago as essential at that moment.

On August 12^th 2003, we walked the ancient procession along the Michael Ley-Line to the Star Gate at Avebury, meeting with others at Dawn to energetically link with a bi-rhythmic peak which occurs every 20 years often misused by power-hungry governments in the past.

For the 2003 Harmonic Concordance (a 6 pointed star planetary alignment, representing the Merkaba and male/female balance) six of us met at the top of Silbury Hill to witness together the total lunar eclipse and radiate out positive thoughts.  Although unplanned, the six of us comprised three males and three females, perfect balance.  It seems night is a good time for these events as our unity consciousness is at it’s height – most of the public at large are most spiritually awake when they are asleep! 

Another activity took for the Quintiles last October (5 pointed star alignments heralding a further influx of feminine energy).  Nineteen of us met inside the Stonehenge stone circle for angelic meditations and a global healing ceremony.  On the date of the 2^nd Quintile in October, several of us did an impromptu tour of Silbury Hill, West Kennett Longbarrow, the Sanctuary, the Avebury Stone Circles and Windmill Hill.  We later found out that all of these sites are on the Mary Ley-Line, which apparently needed to be energetically cleared before the Magdalene Flame could come in on 14^th November.  The Avebury, Stonehenge and Glastonbury triangle is known as the Heart Chakra of the World.  I will be taking a one-week ceremonial tour there again in June 2005, including a meditation inside Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice.

This Christmas, I took my family to Sri Lanka to check it out as a future destination.  Synchronicity placed us right by their revered Sigiriya Rock just as the Tsunami struck the coast.  We were well out of harms way, but was I placed there to magnify the amazing volume of healing directed towards us and place a healing energy field around the disaster? 

You may think I am a deluded fool, perhaps so … However, I believe that dedicated Lightworkers (a term used to describe someone who is either already a healer or is interested in healing) are being called to action to spread their genuine concern for the planet and desire for global unity.

Joanna Bristow-Watkins

I was recently asked for some advice by a young lady who had been told that she had an ‘entity’ attached to her.  Here’s my advice to anyone else who thinks this may apply to them: -

Opinions are widely varied.  I have my own opinion which I offer as just that, an opinion.  It is wise to use your discretion when listening to the opinion of others, let your heart decide which ones resonate with you.  If my opinions do not, I am in no way offended and neither should anyone else be.  

Let me be clear here, yes it is frightening to be told that you have an entity attached to you, so I would generally not come out and just say it like that, it is also a very difficult subject to explain succinctly in a brief, non-frightening way, I far prefer to explain in person where I can judge your response to each comment and adjust my approach accordingly. 

To me, an entity is a cluster of energy within a 'host' which has its own thoughts, beliefs and/or actions which may sometimes by at odds with those of the 'host'.

I commonly remove entities from people and over 95% of them are benign loving attachments and not at all 'evil' in the traditional sense! Sometimes they are a 'soul fragment' from someone close to the 'host' who perhaps died unexpectedly or in fear and therefore partly clutched to someone they loved or knew.  Hence the bond with the host is a loving one.  Why then, should the host suffer uncomfortable consequences?  I believe it is the frustration of the host that their Will' is being bent by another that causes the problem, however well meaning that interference might be. 

Sometimes an ugly thought form can grow into an entity, sometimes they can grow from a seed planted by another person when they sent an ugly thought or did an ugly deed to you.  Certain environments and diets lead them to flourish better than others; acid foods and fearful dark negative thoughts are certainly welcomed!

It is also possible for outside entities to find a host, however this is uncommon and generally induced by an extreme drug-induced state (not getting drunk once; it is more likely from sustained alcoholism or drug addiction) or occasionally from an anaesthetic.  Even these are often benign.  They are usually a frightened mass of energy existing as best they can in the environment they have found themselves in, although of course they will sometimes try to exert their influences!  I usually find that using a technique I have developed which I call 'the Drain', they can be persuaded to leave quite easily and with little or no resistance - remember they are also being offered a release to a place where they can exist more happily and free.  In other words I endeavour to return them to where they should be - whatever dimension they came from, heaven or whatever else that may be.  Healers like myself, basically open portals to other dimensions of a different vibration.  In these cases, I do that and offer them an escort from the elemental healing rays, their ruling angels and/or Archangel Michael, or using the transmutational violet flame with the help of St Germain and Melchisadec.  I do not personally hold that brute force and threats are needed to release an entity, but that is how others may work and with success.

Their successful release is also dependant on the host being totally ready to let go.  That may sound strange, why would the host not want to let go?  Perhaps at some level they recognise the personality/connection and still have an attachment to that person from whom the energy came.  Perhaps they have grown accustomed to the attention they have received from the 'bad luck' that has befallen them, they are comfortable with the martyr image, or a lack of self-esteem and/or self love leads them to believe that they do not deserve to be happy and fulfilled?  This is not said in judgement, but I have searched for explanations in my mind and propose these as possible reasons.  It is the host who 'manages' the release, I am only the catalyst or facilitator.

I can work at a distance or people come in person.  Probably it is better to come in person, as it is good to witness the release first hand, but this process has also been very successful at a distance.  Afterwards you need to learn how to protect yourself from a possible recurrence.  Thee are various techniques, you can use Michael's cloak, or imagine white or golden light around yourself, or see yourself inside a pyramid which can be filled with violet flame (which transmutes negative energy to positive).  Sustained protection is usually achieved by building your self-esteem and establishing a belief and trust that you deserve to be free in this way.  Haniel, Raphael and Zadkiel will help here.  You can even learn to create a totally controlled and protective environment around yourself by learning how to create a Merkaba energy field through meditation.

We have many courses which could help you with these suggestions.  However, the purpose of this response is not to get you to book a session with me or a course (although you will be welcome to do so!) but to try to give you my views as you have asked for them.  There are no doubt numerous healers and paths which may help you, it is for you to decide which one most appeals and then give it every chance of success by putting all your enthusiasm and trust into it.  You must decide that it is time things changed for you - for the better - and don't accept any other outcome.

Reyad Sekh Em Master Healer and Teacher

Sometimes I wonder what a strange quirk of fate led me to spend much of my time on such bizarre activities. I am fully aware that some of the less unorthodox activities I undertake would have challenged my own belief system not long ago. I therefore recommend that you read this with an open mind. Whilst I consider myself lucid and well-informed, this after all, is only my opinion and if it does not resonate with you I am in no way offended.   Try not to dismiss it all, put the incredible on one side and see if more information transpires that will shed new light on the issues.  Some of you will find that the ideas presented here will help to clarify all sorts of unanswered questions.

I have identified several types of encodements, sometimes called etheric blocks/devices or energy constructs, which may be hostile or non-hostile.  The term etheric means that they exist on a non-physical level, although they may manifest in physical discomfort. They predominantly fall into three categories: Melchisadec/Atlantean devices, sacred truth deterrents and past life constructs. 

They can be quite tricky to remove at first, but it gets easier with practice.  The first thing I do is beam in a telepathic thought that I am determined to remove it - I’m sure that these devices have a degree of sentience of their own - or perhaps they retain a memory or echo of the thought pattern of the person who placed it there.

Occasionally I find hostile energetic implants; however, these are much rarer than the non-hostile ones.  When I come across them I simply follow the guidance I am given; trusting the intuitive messages about how and why to remove them in a particular sequence.  I don’t think I have ever found one other than in group healing situations; perhaps group support is needed to safely diffuse them or maybe fear driven thoughts within the group energy field caused them to be detected or to manifest in the first place.

Melchisadec (Melchizedek) Atlantean Devices

These are generally non-hostile energetic constructs and are activated in response to a vibrational imbalance between the physical body and the spiritual energy body.  Dismantling this etheric structure seems to remove a block in psychic development (frequently the person feels stuck on their spiritual path) and often activates a circlet around the top of the head with an etheric crystal over the third eye. This is an emblem of the order of Melchisadec (an ancient priesthood order now re-grouping for global healing action) and often enhances psychic growth.

They are called Melchisadec Atlantean Devices because they occur in members of the Order of Melchisadec Priesthood who were incarnate in Atlantis and dedicated to the veneration and anchoring of the Melchisadec energy, the spiritual presence on the planet. Members generally have a strong connection with Egypt, the Essenes (including the era when Jesus lived), Rosecrucians, Knights Templars and Cathars, Native American and other Shamanism and various Eastern religious healing orders.

In Atlantis there were several different factions of the Order of Melchisadec.  Melchisadec was the first angel to be created as a direct emanation of the Divine Source; a direct expression of God’s Love.  Melchisadec is considered by many to be to the angelic kingdom what Christ is to mankind and that Melchisadec energy is a bridging consciousness that connects the rest of the angelic continuum with the Divine.  Melchisadec is also often considered to be the Womb of the Divine through which the entire angelic kingdom was born.  This is why the sacred geometric shape attributed to Melchisadec is the prism, symbolic of the Loving energy that shone through Melchisadec and became the angelic continuum. 

Each of these factions handled different emanations or expressions of the vast Melchisadec power upon the planet.  Common to all was the empowerment; transmissions of energy from the Angel itself which enabled them to perform their allotted tasks.  These transmissions could lead to transformations within their mental, emotional and physical bodies, but were inconsistent as certain constructs of energy actually regulated growth, ensuring that the evolution took place in a healthy and beneficial harmony, without unbalancing the body or creating dangerous diversions. Without these constructs, the sudden spurts in cellular vibration (resulting from a surge in spiritual understanding) could seriously harm the physical capabilities of the body which had no way of channelling this rush of extra energy.  

These constructs were introduced during the rituals and initiations of the Melchisadec Priesthood and lay dormant until the host reached a key stage of spiritual evolution and was ready for a new transmission of energy from the Angels. Physical symptoms could include problems down one side of the body especially hips, knee and ankles (not necessarily all three) and sometimes a minor version on the opposite side.  They could major on either side of the body, depending on the male/female balance within the host.  These devices are usually also connected into one or more of the chakras, often terminating at the third eye. This is why, when they are removed by appointed representatives of the Order, the coronet of Melchisadec around the brow is activated.  This is happening more as we experience periodic increases in global vibration rate, significant planetary alignments, powerful numerological dates and other triggers. In a sense, this can be seen as a summoning of all the old members of this Order who are ready to move into their next evolutionary state and download the new energies of this great angelic force to the planet.  Although there are different strands of this knowledge, the key thing is that this gathering is happening – now. It is important to recognise this and to reach out to these people, to inform them of the truths that are coming their way. And once they know that they are part of the ancient Melchisadec Order, to help them define their spiritual path and utilise the energy that they feel flowing through them.

The main structures tend to be either in the upper torso (generally shoulder/heart) or lower down (foot/ankle/knee) and resemble wires or chains anchored by rods, plates or bolts at various other locations. They run along the axiatonal system which is a Higher Self version of the meridians. The bolts are often found situated at the Spin Points; the interface between the acupuncture meridians and the axiatonal lines. 

According to the channelled writings of J.J. Hurtak, the axiatonal lines of our bodies were originally connected to the Earth grid, which circumnavigates the planet crossing at various sacred sites. These also connect to the universal grid. At some point, we became cut off from these lines that served as our interface with the universe and allowed transfer of information and energy between macrocosm and microcosm, the universe and humankind. The remaining energy flow, now separated from Source, evolved into the meridian or acupuncture lines we are familiar with today. Removing these etheric blocking devices restores the axiatonal lines, re-establishing the connection to the natural and celestial world and lifts the natural vibratory frequencies of the energy body bringing light and information onto the planet and promoting vitality, faster healing, improved understanding of our soul purpose and greater confidence and enthusiasm.

Both the axiatonal and acupuncture meridians are located in the etheric body which interpenetrates the physical body. The acupuncture meridians are a 4th dimensional grid, whereas the axiatonal meridians can be seen as a higher dimensional energetic grid that connects each cell in the body to Source. Axiatonal energy is Light and Sound which spirals through the meridians and via each spin point into the axial circulatory system.

The etheric blocking devices are very effectively removed in a group healing environment.  However, with experience one healer (even in a distant healing session) can detect and dismantle these structures.  I start by undoing the bolts that first grab my attention (usually at the hips) which makes it easier to remove any rods from the predominantly affected area - through the bottom of the foot.  They may also be fastened (by hinges or strapping) at the knees and/or ankles.

I work with Archangel Michael (who is actually from an angel hierarchy well above the archangels) asking him to invoke his sword to cut away any remaining wiring.  Sometimes I draw the sword itself, or Egyptian symbols such as Ayebt or the Staff of Life empowered by Ankhs, to cut away and clear any debris. I also work with the Ascended Master St Germain and the Angels of the Violet Flame, which is another tool for spiritual alchemy and transmutes negative energies by returning it to its own dimension.  I often use Hekau (Egyptian/Atlantean mantras or power words) to invoke ancient mystical forces to help the process. Affected areas can be purified with violet flame or etheric crystal and tones to re-establish the optimum cellular vibration.

Once a Melchisadec Device is removed, the etheric circlet around the forehead, and the colour of the crystal suspended over the third eye may be determined.  A tightening around the upper arm could signify a serpent bangle, or a long dormant emblem may be activated over the thymus gland.  Generally, if these are at all uncomfortable, it is only to briefly draw attention to their existence.  The areas can then be filled with empowered etheric crystal breaths and a tone can be placed into the crown to re-connect the emblem transmitters back to the angelic hierarchy.  Soon they will be ready to receive the next download of data from the Melchisadec Order to progress the host on their spiritual path.  This can be further enhanced by singing the Melchisadec Chant.

Sacred Truth Deterrents

There are some variations to this theme, but generally there is a small etheric vial (the shape of which varies considerably) placed in or near the Solar Plexus or Heart.  It is often connected to the throat.  If in past lives the host was privy to the ancient truths these vials were full of poison that would kill anyone tempted or forced to divulge their knowledge.  Although lethal, I believe they were requested; as to betray this wisdom beyond the trusted confines of the Order would mean a painful death for them and their colleagues. 

These can be removed by asking the host whether they believe that they might house one of these truth deterrents. Frequently, the host has experienced fear when talking about their healing interests; as if they have said something which they irrationally think was too much.  I then ask whether they would like to be liberated to speak more openly. If they are ready to release this structure, I simply unhook it and levitate it out, then pass it to Michael or Ma’at or St Germain. 

Afterwards, I fill the area with etheric crystal energy, usually sapphire or lapis towards the throat, gold to nourish the solar plexus and emerald, rose quartz, turquoise or pearl for the heart as appropriate. I then place an intuitive tone into the area to recalibrate the vibration back to its optimum rate.  Tuning forks could also be used for this.

I have also removed these from whole groups by leading a group meditation, setting up an etheric tetrahedron filled with violet flame in the room, suggesting that individuals within the group release any constructs that are holding them back and asking Michael, Ma’at and St Germain to escort any released debris out of the apex of the tetrahedron and transmute it back to its own dimension.

Past Life Energy Constructs

Past life energy constructs are now occurring more frequently both in private and group sessions.  This is where, within the loving support of the healing room, healees (people receiving healing) are able to re-live past life and death experiences which often pertain to similar patterns within this life-time.  It is a Shamanic belief that we hold, within our energy field, areas of weakness which repeatedly manifest issues in the same and/or different physical incarnations; in other words we have a pre-disposition to repeated emotional and or physical manifestations. This either causes, or is perhaps due to, disrupted energy patterns in that part of the body.

Whilst they will only occur if it is in the highest good of the healee, I have found the best way to induce these, in a safe and supported environment, is to place the healers hands under the head - covering the back of the third eye (brow) chakra - and using slight pressure to gently stimulate the occipital ridge at the back of the head.  This is a Shamanic technique for inducing a trance state, and even if such a deep state is not forthcoming it is still worth noting the thoughts that come to mind; often they will turn out to be of key importance.

These past life experiences can be very dramatic and even gruesome. We recently ran a group session where one girl remembered being killed in a jousting tournament. She felt her arm was hanging off (and it did look somehow limp and pathetic) and she needed to be released from her helmet.  For a short while the experience was so vivid it frightened her, although always it was clear that this was a reflection of an event and not the event itself.  As is the norm with these experiences, we sought to repair her ethereally, in this case sewing the arm back on, as if we had to hand all the necessary medical equipment, herbal salves, bandages etc.  Afterwards it seemed a very surreal experience.

 At other times the healee simply feels as if they are observing their past life or death as a detached bystander.  Or else they may be telling their story in an animated way but not require any input from us other than nods of agreement and loving support. A metaphor, symbolised by the event revisited, is often apparent.  This can shed light on why life patterns are recurring and present opportunities for future change.

General advice to those working with energetic encodements.

I believe it is possible to remove many devices (including on oneself) purely by positive intent.  The secret is to go with the flow, liberate your intuition and see where it takes you.  We can never rule out an active imagination, but if we get positive results does it really matter?  Certainly it is true that we often find, within groups, that we can all contribute to the picture we are creating and one person’s contribution embellishes that of another.  Whether we are fabricating a group fantasy, or somehow tapping into the expectations of our healee, these sessions really change people’s lives and as long as the changes are for the better then true understanding of what is going on is probably unnecessary.
