Sekhem Energy Healing in the Puna District

Sekhem energy healing for the Puna District runs 90 minutes, $222, online first and in person by request with Jason Donaldson, who lives in Hawaiian Paradise Park. It serves residents across a district that stretches from Kea'au down through Pāhoa, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Orchidland Estates, and Mountain View. Sekhem is sometimes called Egyptian Reiki. It's an older, related lineage, not Reiki, and Jason, a certified master Sekhem Energy Practitioner trained through Juliet Carillo back to Gamal, a fifth-generation Egyptian alchemist, is upfront about the difference for anyone who came looking for Reiki specifically.

Puna is the largest district on Hawai'i Island by land area, carved out of old plantation and lava land into dozens of subdivisions, most without a town center of their own. That geography means a 20 to 30 minute drive to reach any appointment is simply part of life here, which is a large part of why online Sekhem is the main offering. Jason's own home and studio are in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a short drive up on Hwy 130 from Kea'au.

What a Sekhem session includes

The session opens with conversation about what's present for you, since the work often begins when you book, as dreams or meaningful moments surface in the days leading up to the appointment. From there, grounding moves into deep relaxation, then channeled energy work, hands over the body, sound and vibration, sage, cedar, and Egyptian oils from Jason's own lineage. He works through what he calls the soul chakra, about 12 inches above the head, holding the record of every lifetime, and the earth chakra, about 12 inches below the feet, for grounding. The Neteru, the Egyptian archetypal energies, Horus the falcon, Sekhmet the lion, Thoth the ibis, Anubis as the way-shower of the inner world, show up differently depending on the person and the session. "I am merely the channel. They do the work," Jason says of his own role.

Afterward, there's time to journal, then a debrief where Jason shares what came through, sometimes confirmed with a card or two pulled at the close. The effects often continue unfolding for a few days to a week, through dreams or small realizations.

Why distance shapes how Puna clients use this service

Because so much of Puna sits further from clinical and conventional wellness resources than Hilo does, Sekhem is a common booking from across the district, often scheduled as a longer, single block of time. Some clients pair Sekhem with Galactic Breathing around the same time. Experiences with Sekhem vary from person to person. Clients have described feelings of deep relaxation, warmth, emotional release, greater clarity, peacefulness, and a stronger sense of connection with themselves. Some people also describe physical sensations or shifts during or following a session. These experiences are personal and are not presented as expected or guaranteed outcomes. This is complementary support, never a replacement for medical or mental health care.

Land shaped by more than one eruption

Much of Puna's landscape, from black lava fields to newer green growth pushing through cracked rock, carries the marks of past volcanic activity, including the more recent changes near Pāhoa in 2018. For residents living on land this actively shaped by the volcano, Sekhem's multidimensional framing, past, future, and parallel lives at what Jason calls a soul or monadic level, sometimes lands with a particular resonance, though every client's experience with the work is their own. Seaview, in lower Puna, is a place Jason names as a good fit for an in-person session.

Jason's own approach to Sekhem

Jason's sessions draw on more than his Sekhem lineage alone. He brings in his breathwork training, his psychological background, and his use of sound and vibration, shaping a version of the practice that differs from another Sekhem practitioner's approach. If you're specifically weighing Sekhem against Reiki, the full comparison covers exactly where the two overlap and where they diverge.

In person, by request

In person means Jason's small studio in Hawaiian Paradise Park at 10am, 11am or noon, or a home visit by arrangement during regular business hours, easily within a 25 mile radius. Write first and he confirms the time and place. Highway 130 and Highway 11 connect most of the district to it, so build the drive time into your plans.

Why Puna clients take to online sessions

Given that nearly everything in Puna requires a drive of some length, residents here tend to be comfortable with anything that saves one. A 20 or 30 minute drive reads as ordinary, the same way it's ordinary to drive that far for groceries, a doctor's appointment, or anything else outside a resident's immediate subdivision, but an online Sekhem session removes the drive without removing the work. That is part of why bookings from across Puna stay steady even though no client here is simply walking over from a few blocks away.

What the sensory elements add to a session

Sage, cedar, and Egyptian oils from Jason's own lineage enter a Sekhem session at specific points, paired with sound and vibration as the work calls for it. None of this is incidental staging. It's carried through the same lineage as the hands-on channeling itself, treated as inseparable from the energy work rather than optional extras layered on top for atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Sekhem held for Puna District clients?

Online from wherever you are, which is the main way Jason works right now. In person is by request, at his studio in Hawaiian Paradise Park or at a home by arrangement.

Do I have to travel if I live far out in Puna?

No. Online needs no travel, and some residents pair Sekhem with breathwork around the same time so one block of time covers both services.

Is Sekhem the same as Reiki?

No. Jason practices Sekhem, an older Egyptian-lineage tradition related to Reiki but distinct from it. See Sekhem vs Reiki for the comparison.

Can I book online instead of meeting in person?

Yes, and it is the simplest place to start. The same 90 minute Sekhem session is available online for Puna residents.

How does living near an active volcano factor into a session?

It can come up naturally for residents whose daily life includes that reality, though the session structure stays the same for every client regardless of what they bring into the room.
