A telepathic and intuitive system.
SEICHIM is a word of Egyptian origin meaning “Energy of the living Light”
THE STORY OF THE REDISCOVERY OF THE SEICHIM ENERGY
In 1979 Patrick Zeigler (at the time a volunteer with the American Peace Corps in Yemen) visited Egypt to fulfil a childhood dream: to spend a night in the Great Pyramid of Giza. When he entered the pyramid for the first time, he found an opening in the wall near the King’s Chamber, most likely made by tomb robbers. The door covering this opening was unlocked. Patrick did not know where this passage led, but he decided on the spot to use it as a hiding place. He spent some time in meditation in the two chambers – the King’s and the Queen’s – and then went back to his hotel, where he packed a backpack with the bare essentials for the night. The next day he entered the pyramid with a group of tourists. At a moment when no one was looking, he slipped into the tunnel he had found the day before and reached a small room directly above the King’s Chamber. He spent the whole day there in meditation. At the end of the day, when the last tourists had left the pyramid, Patrick came out of his hiding place and went to the King’s Chamber. There he climbed into the empty sarcophagus and prepared to spend the night.
After he had settled down and calmed himself, he heard a buzzing and soon realised it was mosquitoes attacking him. He remembered that he had toilet paper in his backpack and wrapped his hands, feet and head with it. He looked comical, like a paper mummy, but it saved him from the mosquitoes. Once he had calmed down, Patrick began to meditate. Soon he began to hear sounds coming from the gallery above him, very much like human footsteps. The sound came closer and closer, and he did not move so as not to be discovered.
To his surprise, however, nobody switched on the lights, and he realised that the sound was nothing like a human one. Having come to this conclusion, his body began to stiffen with the fear that filled him. Patrick had been in dangerous situations before and had always coped, but this time the feeling of fear was different and would not pass. At that moment a presence entered the chamber, and the sound grew even stronger and more pulsating. When Patrick fixed his eyes on the darkness, he noticed a peculiar electric-blue energy structure moving in a spiral and pulsating. This energetic presence stopped right above him. He then felt intuitively that this was exactly the reason he had come to the pyramid, and he tried to let go of his fear. He thought: “Whatever happens, happens” – and at that moment the light came down into his heart. For an instant there was absolute silence, and Patrick began to think he had died. Then he felt his heart expand, and the sound now came from within, from his heart. Patrick spent the rest of the night in a state of complete bliss in meditation, bathed in the electric-blue light that filled his heart, moving in a spiral and taking the shape of infinity.
In the morning Patrick returned to his hiding place, where he waited for the first group of tourists to come in, mingled with them unnoticed and left the pyramid.
When he entered his hotel room, he looked in the mirror and found that he was covered all over in a white, shining powder. He later learned that this powder is said to have been used in ancient times for healing and was obtained in the pyramid. In the East some peoples use it to gain spiritual power and to raise energetic vibrations.
In Bob Frissell’s book “Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are” we find a lot of interesting information, passed on to him by Drunvalo Melchizedek, about how the pyramid was used in ancient times for initiation into Knowledge.
After washing and changing, Patrick Zeigler went for a walk in the old part of Cairo. A woman of Western appearance came up to him and asked where she could find a man named Sheikh Mohammed Osman Burhani. After asking an acquaintance, Patrick learned that the Sheikh did not live in Cairo, but that there was a group of his students at a school nearby. He and the woman found the school, and it turned out to be a Sufi school led by the Sheikh, who lived in Sudan. The two of them spent a week at the Sufi school. There they took part in various practices, some of which were meditations very similar to what Patrick had witnessed in the pyramid. The Sufis have a special dance called zikr, which is different from the well-known whirling dance. In zikr the dancers move from left to right, resembling the movement of the infinity pattern. Once again Patrick drew a parallel between this dance and the experience (initiation) he had received in the pyramid. At the end of their visit to the Sufis, he and the woman decided to visit the Sheikh in Sudan. The Sheikh passed on much sacred knowledge to Patrick, including a prayer, teaching him to use prayer beads and, each time he moved a bead, to say the name Allah. This name, however, reached Patrick as “All Love”, repeated the way a mantra is repeated. Patrick Zeigler felt his heart expand and fill with grace.
When Patrick returned to Yemen and continued his work in the Peace Corps, he practised intensively everything he had learned and experienced in the Great Pyramid, at the Sufi school and with the Sheikh.
It was here that the energy he had been initiated into began to show itself. He found that every time he began to feel unwell and placed his hands on his body, it began to tremble, soon after it calmed down and he felt better.
A few months later Patrick Zeigler left Yemen and went to Nepal for two years. Until his return to the USA in 1983 he worked continuously with the energy and the practices he had learned.
After returning to the USA, Patrick settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There he enrolled to study massage at an “Academy of Art and Healing”, where energy and vibrational work was taught. Here Patrick encountered Reiki, and during his first session he felt the Reiki energy move in his body in the same way as during his spontaneous initiation in the pyramid. He enrolled in Merlin Alvey’s Reiki course and completed Reiki Level 1 and 2. A year later he took the third level with Barbara Ray and became a Reiki Master. Shortly before becoming a Reiki Master, he met again the woman he had met in Egypt and with whom he had spent time with the Sufis and the Sheikh. She told him that the Sufis were asking him to visit them. Right after becoming a Master, the two of them went to Sudan and spent two or three weeks in the company of the Sufis. During this time the Sheikh’s son told Patrick that his father had died. The members of the group knew that the Sheikh had passed on ancient esoteric knowledge that was rarely passed on. Patrick was offered the chance to become a Sheikh, to marry the woman and to teach the ancient wisdom together with her. Patrick felt flattered by the offer but politely declined, because he felt his path was a different one. The Sufis blessed him and encouraged him to start teaching what he had learned from them and from the Sheikh. Returning to America, Patrick moved to California that same summer.
Soon after arriving in California, Patrick Zeigler began to visit Christine Gerber, a very gifted medium. Through her he made contact with a Spirit Guide who introduced himself as Marat. Marat explained that his spirit was 2,500 years old and that he had lived in south-western India, where he had been a teacher and practitioner of Seichim. In fact, Marat told Patrick that the energy he was working with was called Seichim (Marat pronounced the word as Sei-Chem, stressing the Egyptian pronunciation of “S”, “Kh”, “Ch”). Despite his efforts, however, Marat could not convey the exact transcription. Patrick had to create a pronunciation of the word that would be as close as possible to the Egyptian original. He wrote the word in various ways, looking for an equivalent. In the end he concluded that the most suitable word was SEICHIM, and he used this word for many years. Marat also passed on to Patrick the knowledge of how to teach and attune other people in this energy system. Combining his knowledge of Reiki with what he had received from Marat and the Sheikh, Zeigler began to hold Seichim courses. After his last stay with the Sufis in Sudan and Egypt, Patrick Zeigler was able to reach an energy one octave higher than that of Seichim and fully understood all the knowledge received from Sheikh Mohammed. Patrick created a new form of working with this newly discovered energy, which he called SKHM, to distinguish it from the Seichim energy and system.
Later, while studying Egyptian inscriptions, Patrick found that the name he had given to the newly discovered energy – SKHM – corresponded exactly to the name recorded in a hieroglyphic inscription, translated as “Sekhem – SKHM”. There are several variants of the pronunciation. Patrick pronounces Seichim
SKHM as “sey-chem”. Other variants include “sey-sheem” and “sey-keem”. In fact, SKHM is the name of the energy that is one octave higher. In his workshops Patrick uses a way of teaching that is completely free and unstructured, so that each participant has the chance to reach the SKHM energy in their own unique way. Working with the SKHM energy is more complex and deeper than working with the SEICHIM energy, because it allows a direct connection with the primal Source and spontaneous initiations.

In recent years Patrick Zeigler has not held Seichim courses. He has devoted himself entirely to working with the SKHM energy (in the form of workshops and meditative techniques).
