Hi Everyone,
I came across this forum by chance, whilst searching for something else. I'm not brilliant on the computer, so plz bear with me!
The thread that I came across has been quiet for about 5m. I'm not sure how to get back into it so will start a new one on the topic, Ma'at Sekhem.
I can see that interest / comments have arisen around the time of Buxton Healing Festival, in June, when some folk have attended a talk by Amon-Ra Antares on this subject. This is also where I 1st came across the energy.
I was already attuned to Usui Reiki & Shamballa Tibetan (both level 2). I did go on to do Usui Master / Teacher but also chose to pursue Ma'at Sekhem - all 5 levels - & now am a Master / Teacher of this too. I did all 5 levels with Amon-Ra.
I just wanted to explain / clarifya few things which have cropped up in the thread as I know Amon-Ra personally & answer "from his corner".
Amon-Ra broke away from the Helen Belot ways as he found them rather controlling. He decided to incorporate the teachings & philosophiesof the Goddess Ma'at in his workshops. She's the one who weighs the heart against her feather at the time of Judgement, on her scales. The deceased must correctly answer 42 Precepts of Ma'at &have his heart balance against the feather before facing Osiris & the Council of 42 judges (one from each "shire" of Egypt) Always amused me that the Meaning of Life, according to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was, "42"!
The Philosophies of Ma'at are not dis-similar to Buddhism but have their own "take" as well.
The Goddess Ma'at is a sister of Sekhmet, the lioness Goddess involved in Sekhem, so they complement each other well.
The energy, I find, is a higher vibration than Usui. Usui Reiki is a fundamental part of Sekhem; Amon-Ra never denies this - nor do I when conducting my workshops. In between Usui's vibration & Sekhem is Seichim, an energy associated with the Eastern Goddess of Compassion & Mercy (among other attributes) Kwan Yin. It's a higher vibe than Usui, but not as high as Sekhem.
I find Usui to be quite "earthy" & a wonderful introduction to energy healing. I initiated my family to this before they went on to do Ma'at Sekhem. Sekhem has enabled me to sense & feel far more, empathically, & physicallyin people's auras during treatments, & enhanced my psychic abilities greatly. Of course, this may not be the case for every initiate, but again. in my experience, initiates do find that the energy helps further their spiritual journey & aids in any treatments they may give. Some say that their psychic abitilies increase too. I wasn't looking for this to happen, it's just a by-product.
I've grown to know Amon-Ra quite well over the last 3.5 years. There is much to admire about a man who has overcome some terrific obstacles along the way, stemming back into childhood - some are really horrific & I know that he'sbeen rock bottom.I can't blame him for changing his name & leaving an old identity behind. Yes, he can be a little ungrounded; he's aware of this himself - but does it really matter? His knowledge & experience is vast; I've learnt so much from him, beyond measure. I've rung him for advice concerning my own workshops, which he's given freely & even sent helpful books / papers thru the post.
I've also done level 1 Pleiadian Workshop with him too - that one is expensive, but it's 9 days long (over 3 long weekends).
Sekhem levels 1 & 2 together are about £250, from 10 - 5pm both days. If you break that down to an hourly rate & compare it to doing Usui 1 & 2, I don't think it's expensive. When doing Sekhem 1 & 2 he (& I) also advice how to access 3 other rays / energies & do a ritual for protection which is very tangible & stays in place indefinitely. My colour manual, that I pass on, is over 100 pages.
The symbols are lovely. I've used them (with intent) & had people say to me that they've felt exactly where I was sending them, &

Hello RosieT and welcome to HP! 
I think perhaps this is the thread you were reading:
[link= http://www.healthypages.net/forum/fb.asp?m=230336 ]http://www.healthypages.net/forum/fb.asp?m=230336[/link]
It's in the Reiki & Other Energy Healing forum, which is where I'm going to move your post.
Unfortunately, however, the system does not allow posts to be moved onto an existing thread, so I can't do that for you, but never mind. Your post will therefore be a new thread, and that's fine.
You can use your back button to return to a page you were previously reading, and if you need any further help using the forums, please just ask.
Best wishes, and I hope you enjoy!

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
hi
personally i would not be attuned to any of thease systems i was told when i did my level 2 in tera mai that i would need to be attuned from usui/kurana reiki/ (because the tera mai teacher said they are man made-(and sechim sek-hem whatever you want to call it is pure) so personally i wouldt be attuned!!
RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Each to their own choice, kevmos1, as in all things ... but do you ever question what you are taught?
I did level 2 Tera Mei (which included re-attunement to level 1)and received no such instruction, although my understanding is that many Tera Mei masters and practitioners do follow the very rigid rules that have been laid down ... and others do not

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
well either guidlines and rules are set but in my opinion they are not tera mai state that you cant be involved in anyother system if you take theres? so why are so many other masters teaching different systems?? strange hey!!!
RE: Ma'at Sekhem

Perhaps because they wish to have that freedom of choice!

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
As holistic says it is down to choice, a master should be able to differentiate between what they have been taught and what is right, the two are unfortunately not always the same thing.
RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Thank you Paul. Since posting earlier, I have now re-read the other thread on this topic, which was started by kevmos1 in 2005, when he asked for opinions on MAAT Sekhem and Amon Ra.
Our new member RosieT may perhaps not have realised this when she referred to the Buxton Festival in June. That was in fact June 2005, and the thread was then added to in August last year. This is in no way a criticism, RosieT, merely a comment, BTW, and belated thanks for the further information
The two year gap may of course be entirely irrelevant, but the point about freedom of choices was a theme running all through that other thread as well, with a number of replies to kevmos along just those lines. What's that saying? The more things change, the more they stay the same!

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Rosie,
It is wonderful that you have found Sekhem. Since it was introduced there have been many flavours and styles that have been created and most that have emerged from Helen Belot’s Line have continued to say that theirs is the highest vibration. This is not really the case, what is really being expressed is that they feel more in touch with the System that they have created and just convinced others of their truth
Did you know that Helen called Seichim the Highest vibration on the Planet at one time. Once she broke away from her teacher and used another spelling, she then made the claim that hers was the highest. Then came the different Goddess association. Seichim never was associated to Kwan Yin, but people who have a strong connection to Kwan Yin, just strengthen their connection to her. This is how the Sekhem energy works, it helps you make a connection to a form you are most comfortable with. Since Amon-Ra had a stronger connection to Maat he experienced Maat more closely associated to the energy than Sekhmet , thus creating a new system, which was necessary because he was no longer part of Helen’ organization. It is important that an energy have a wider fuller spectrum to be most effective. Some of the most stuck people I have attend my classes are those that claim to work only with the highest vibration.

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the info / insight. It's interesting to look at things from the perspective you offer.
I do understand what you're saying about claims of working only with the highest vibe. I never state this to anyone; I just say that I've found it to be higher than Usui.
I do my best to stay out of power struggles, speak as I find re: energies & Master / Teachers. Real lesson in discernement, isn't it? Ongoing too.
Re: the Ma'at aspect in Ma'at Sekhem - I think I feel a balance between the 2 Goddesses in my strength of connection - but then Ma'at is all about balance!
Yes, I can appreciate what you mean about strengthening the Kwan Yin connection; have done this further thru' Magnified Healing.
Peace & Sunshine x
RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Hi Rosie.
As a trance medium sitting within a reiki closed healing circle I have received many direct communications from the Ascended Masters including Mikao Usui.
From this I have ascertained that the only true all-powerful healing energy comes from the Divine Source (you may call this divine reiki if you wish) and is given to us Through the Ascended Masters.
Hence the only true linage is from that source.
This is only my interpretation of channelling for over 40 years.
I agree with Kevmos1 that guidelines and rules should be set and also the point that there are many other masters teaching different systems, but this applies to almost everything in life so why should we be any different.
I teach Divine Reiki to my students (without symbols) and our guidelines, rules and Codes of conduct are Mandatory.
I have no problem with anyone believing in their own thing, in fact I have explored many healing phenomena's over the years but I keep coming back to The spiritual connection with all healing.
RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Did you know that Helen called Seichim the Highest vibration on the Planet at one time. Once she broke away from her teacher and used another spelling, she then made the claim that hers was the highest.
I sometimes wonder if these "high vibrations" are simply the highest vibration that a particular individual can hold..or"imagine" that they hold. I wonder if some people who are attuned to say Usui Reiki 1 might hold or channel more of that energy than another person attuned at the same time.Yet is that relevant or important? Perhaps only for comparitive purposes. Healing starts with ourselves and we are exactly where we need to be regarding our energy and our consciousness. For me, quantity and quality should lose their meaning when a person is simply a channel for energy.
All this talk of highest vibrations mean nothing if the individual is not also growing and changing and shifting to accomodate more and more spiritual light. If they are, then all this talk of higher energy or highest energy is surely a sign that they have not yet outgrown certain aspects of the self which needs these kinds of attentions and comparisons? All rather sad really.

Hi Rosie, Yes Magnified Healing has a very strong focus on Kwan Yin.
One of the aspects of our spiritual development is to have a role model.
A person or spiritual being that we aspire to be like. Kwan Yin has given us that form in the Feminine, which has not been so strong in our western culture. What we are really doing is giving a form and focus to our own spirituality.

I sometimes wonder if these "high vibrations" are simply the highest vibration that a particular individual can hold..or"imagine" that they hold.
Right on!
This is what is happening most of the time for people. The vibration that matches and resonates with our own will always feel like it is the highest [8D]
People basically prefer a steeping stone effect as they progress, so moving from one method to the next gives them that. Many people will start out with Reiki and then progress to other systems, the other system basically becomes the next stepping stone, thus giving the impression that that system is a higher vibration than the first.
Some people actually start out with one of the other systems then finally end up with Reiki, then they become critical of the other system and stick to the more traditional and say Traditional is the best.
I find it interesting that may people who make the claims of a higher vibration have never really experienced the other systems to compare it with!
On occasion I do have some people come to my class, just to see what it is all about, they already have a system that they love and have invested lots of energy to learn. They will just sit there watching and wondering what is going on, all the time just comparing and judging what other people are doing, thus they never really experience what the class is about. When they leave the class they have confirmed that their system is still the highest vibration 
Mirror Mirror on the wall who has the highest vibration of them all.
Mine of course!!

Hi Rosie I'm really pleased your here:) I am chock full of curiosity about Maat sekhem, as there is so little information available about it. Do you think it would be possible for someone to create a website discussing maat sekhem, or to publish a book? Nowadays you can self publish (such as through lulu) very affordably.
I would love to see more info about this system around:)

RE: Ma'at Sekhem
Hi Kath,
I do intend, at some point, to have a website for myself, which will include Ma'at Sekhem.
I don't know if Amon-Ra intends to publish anything, book-wise; not had a chat with him for a while. I'm involved in my own project, recording(in a professional studio)some meditation CD's on a completely different theme, so that's taking a lot of my focus at the moment.
I was in the 1st group of 4 to be initiated into Master / Teacher in Jan 2005, so I'm not sure how many of us there are. I know he's got quite a following in Ireland.
If you'd like me to email some details thru' about how the 5 levels are split & what's included, I'm happy to do so. It should give you a better picture & may enable you to research it further.
Sekhem is mentioned in ancient papyri & on temple carvings. Priests of Sekhmet carried the energies. (Sekhmet is often likened to the Goddess Kali; the fury/flame/eye of the sun. Sekhmet destroys so that better may follow & protectsher father, the Sun God at any cost.She's Goddess of War, Regeneration & Healing).
I know Amon-Ra introduced a few more symbols in addition to Helen Belot's but I think the basic framework is similar. He's chosen to add other information / tools which I've found very interesting & useful; I pass these on too.
I've not added any symbols, but have included more background information about Gods & Mythology, their calendar, the history & meaningbehind the eye of Horus etc.
If you can get to Buxton, in June, I'm sure Amon-Ra will be giving a talk again & one on the Pleiadian Lightwork.
Love & Light.
