One very profound thing my life has shown me is that all consists of energy vibrating at different frequencies — or what some may call “levels.” What appears to our logical, in-this-reality minds as solid and separate is, in truth, far from it. Basic science tells us that everything is made of atoms vibrating at different speeds. Quantum physics has gone even further, helping us understand that the solidity we perceive is not absolute. Consciousness is not limited by physical boundaries, nor by distance, nor by the illusion of the solid.

Where our attention and focus go, our energy flows. Music is a perfect example — its energy moves us, often literally. When sound is resonant and focused, it becomes a healing force. We feel it, and we dance.

Many of us have experienced how focusing on negativity seems to attract more of it, and the same goes for positivity. Our thoughts generate emotions, and our emotions generate energy. Change the thought, and you change the feeling. Feel the energy of an emotion, and it transforms. When released, it no longer holds power in the body — and in that transformation, we are no longer stuck. Blocked energy is a major contributor to illness and dis-ease. And dis-ease, at its root, is often simply the absence of ease within the Self.

Consciousness Beyond the Body

In conscious or active dreaming — sometimes called lucid dreaming, shamanic journeying, or astral travel — we become acutely aware that our consciousness is not confined to the body. In these states, we may fly, fall, or shape-shift. We may become animals, trees, mountains. We may walk through walls or explore “past” lives in bodies unfamiliar yet deeply known.

These experiences show us that we can merge with other energies, meet other beings — even interact with Souls who have passed on. In this space, time bends. Logic dissolves. And healing becomes possible on levels we often cannot reach in waking life.

I have found that when emotional resolution isn’t possible in physical reality, it can often be achieved through dreaming. Peace can be found. The nervous system can reset. The soul can breathe again.

Reiki and Seichim: A Personal Path

Most people are familiar with Reiki. Seichim, however, is less well known. I have received beautiful Reiki sessions that released energy gently or allowed me to drift into states of deep rest. But Reiki on its own, compared to the combined energy of Reiki and Seichim, is like comparing a torchlight to a spotlight. The combined energy is far more powerful.

Reiki is known as the wave of energy flowing in. Seichim is the wave flowing out.

Seichim is rooted in the teachings believed to have originated in Ancient Egypt (Sekhem), carried forward through Buddhist monks into India, and translated into Sanskrit. The hieroglyphic symbols for this energy are etched into pyramid walls and tombs. Sekhem is the domain of the lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet — both destroyer and healer. Kwan Yin, Goddess of Compassion, is associated with Seichim.

Like Reiki, Seichim can be practiced hands-on or from a distance. It is deeply feminine in nature — gentle, but direct. It addresses core patterns and beliefs, clears subtle body imprints, and helps restore physical, emotional, and spiritual health. As a tool for self-transformation, it accelerates personal evolution and brings us back into alignment with our fullest potential.

I have witnessed things during sessions that can only be described as miraculous. My hands often become hot, and I sometimes receive clear visions for the person I’m working with. These sessions are sacred. I never set an intention beyond asking that the session bring what is needed for the highest good.

My Story: Healing Through Energy

I once suffered for 18 years with a knee injury from a fatal car accident. I had seen specialists, done the rounds. Each told me I’d never regain full use of that knee. Then came my attunement to Reiki and Seichim. During that process, I released emotional trauma I hadn’t even realised I was carrying. And just like that — the pain lifted. I could walk without limping. I could bend my knee fully. It wasn’t subtle. It was transformational and miraculous.

My healing journey began with physical illness and dreams — profound, symbolic, and often startling experiences that reached far beyond ordinary sleep. As I began to work with them consciously, I realised they weren’t just stories; they were guides. They revealed emotional truth, soul memory, and future possibility, and they were the first threads in a much deeper transformation.

That unfolding, and everything it revealed about energy, healing, and connection, eventually led me to write The Promise: A Story of Love & Transformation. The book weaves together personal experience, soul connection, and the often invisible pathways that carry us toward wholeness. If my story speaks to something in you, you may find resonance within its pages too.

“Sometimes, we meet the ones who break us open—not to harm, but to awaken. Love doesn’t always look the way we thought it would, but it always arrives when the soul is ready. And when it does, there is no going back to sleep.”
— The Promise: A Story of Love & Transformation

Healing isn’t always about fixing. Sometimes it’s about remembering. Returning to a truth you’ve always carried — that you are energy, that you are held, and that your inner world speaks in symbols, rhythms, and dreams. When you learn to listen, you start to come home.

If you’ve had a dream you can’t shake, a symbol that won’t let you go, or a feeling that something’s calling from beyond logic, follow it. That’s where the real work begins.
