SKHM, Definition

SKHM is a spelling variant of Sekhem, an Egyptian-lineage energy healing practice sometimes called Egyptian Reiki. People searching "SKHM" and people searching "Sekhem" are usually looking for the same thing, just typed differently, and Jason Donaldson practices it under the name Sekhem and offers Sekhem sessions.

Where the spelling comes from

Energy healing traditions with roots in Egypt have been passed down through different teachers, and those teachers have spelled the name differently when they wrote it in English. You will see Sekhem, Seichim, and SKHM used across different lineages and websites. They are not three unrelated systems competing for the same word. They describe the same family of practice, channeled energy working through the soul chakra and the earth chakra, connected to the Neteru, the Egyptian gods and goddesses understood here as cosmic archetypal energies.

Jason trained under Juliet Carillo, whose teacher is Gamal, a fifth-generation alchemist in Egypt known for his Egyptian oils. Jason is a certified master Sekhem energy practitioner and uses "Sekhem" as his working name for the practice, because that is the spelling his own lineage uses.

What the work actually is, regardless of spelling

Whatever letters land on the page, this practice works through the soul chakra, about 12 inches above the head, and the earth chakra, about 12 inches below the feet. It channels energy connected to the Neteru, archetypes like Horus, Sekhmet, Thoth, and Anubis, understood as cosmic energies and star family rather than distant myth. A session involves grounding, hands-over-body channeled work, sound, and Egyptian oils, followed by a debrief where the practitioner shares what came through. Jason describes his own role simply: "I am merely the channel. They do the work." If a site or teacher uses SKHM instead of Sekhem, that difference in spelling almost never means a different set of techniques. It usually just means a different teacher wrote it down a different way.

For a fuller comparison of how this whole family of practice relates to Reiki, a more widely known Japanese-origin tradition, see Sekhem vs Reiki. Jason does not practice Reiki himself, and he's direct about that distinction on every page where the two terms could be confused. To book a session under any of these names, start at Sekhem energy healing.
