Sekhem Workshop

Sekhmet Sekhem Workshop (Goddess and Vibrational Healing Intunement)
Sunday, 1 April 2012
10:00 until 16:00
CHIRINKA Natural Therapies, 30/B Glenmorgan St Brunswick East VIC 3057

What is Sekhmet Sekhem?

Sekhmet Sekhem is channeled vibrational healing energy direct from:

The Goddess Sekhmet

Sekhmet Sekhem (sek-kem) comes from the Egyptian word SekHem which translated into English means “Power of Powers”.

Sekhem is an ancient and sacred healing energy that the Ancient Egyptians used and were taught in the temples of Ancient Egypt. It is an advanced form of hands on healing which utilises sounds and symbols. It is said Sekhem is the parent Energy of all hands on healing systems.
Although ancient in its essence, in modern times Sekhmet Sekhem is much more than simply a hands on healing technique. Its power can help you connect to deity and can be used an insightful healing method.

What can Sekhmet Sekhem be used for?

Sekhmet Sekhem can be used for the following benefits:

Mind: Assists in clearing the mind of unbalanced thought forms and helps break down and release mental blocks.

Body: Promotes the body’s own internal mechanisms of healing, whilst assisting with relaxation and therefore pain management.

Spirit: Helps you unite to Sekhmet; as a universal connection is established and anchored during intunements.

Emotion: Stabilises the emotions while helping move blockages. It allows an individual to take ownership of health through active acknowledgement.

Sekhmet Sekhem is a never-ending source of pure healing energy, which you can tap into at any time.

Juno Covella: Lupa


Lawrence Durdin-Robertson, "Juno Covella" has this entry for Valentine's Day: "Roman: LUPA (Whistler, English Festivals, p. 90) “St. Valentine’s Day, February 14th … Like the candles of Candlemas, recently gone by, it comes to us by direct descent from the Lupercalia of pagan Rome ... It was about the middle of the month that the names of willing young ladies were put in a box and well shaken up,... so that each young blood could draw out one at random; the girl thus won to remain his companion while the gaieties lasted ... centuries passed and still the lottery for girls continued ... ‘It is a ceremony never omitted among the Vulgar’, wrote Bourne in 1725, ‘to draw lots which they term Valentines. The names of a select number of one sex are by an equal number of the other put into some vessel; and after that, everyone draws a name, which for the present is called their Valentine, and is also look’d upon as a good omen of their being man and wife afterwards’.
