Vicki Rebecca’s Esoteric
Training
It's not easy to quantify and verbalise the exact route of such study, mine began a long, long time ago. I remember writing endless journals sat on the banks of the River Dee in my early teens, doing spirit releasement work, and reciting affirmations. I remember my granma teaching me the basics of herbs from her garden, the qualities of her soups and other foods, how to dowse for the sex of an unborn child and dream of the face of your husband to be, the younger adults in the family called it her "old wives tales". My granma was with us until she was 96 and a great great granma. She was my first teacher.
As a teen I was fascinated by the tarot, astrology and astronomy although I have had very little formal training. I was drawn to esoteric groups and all things "alternative" during my 12 years in London and travels round the world in my twenties. As with many people my thirties brought an interest in physical fitness and mental clarity - transcendental meditation, yoga and the beginning of my journey into energy work….
I've taught Reiki since 1999, first studying it in 1994 with my Mum and then other teachers around Scotland. I first studied Egyptian Sekhem with Simon Treselyan in London in 2000 and completed masters with him along with Cartouche Mastery and initiation to the Order of Melchizedek during a trip to Egypt in 2002. I dipped into SKHM with Patrick Zeigler (approx 2003). I studied Sekhem in London with Jonathan Cohen 2000-2001. I then decided to complete training to the Helen Belôt Sekhem Association standards, I had avoided energy associations until then as I find the politics difficult and stultifying. However here was something offering itself as a complete system and I believed at that time a good basis to teach from.
So because of the interesting albeit
scenic route my training had taken until that
point I decided to get the rest directly from the
horse’s mouth. I spent a week studying
and living with Helen in November 2004 in
Australia. During this period Helen believed she
wasn't long for this earth and passed to me
and 5 other masters the secrets of a "new
technique" which she had used to repair her own
heart during illness. I remained an endorsed
teacher with Helen for 4/5 years, training many
masters during that time.
Perhaps inevitably the rigidity and control began to outweigh the joys and benefits of the system and in 2007 I joined the ranks of the great “defrocked” having fallen out of favour with Helen. I continue to teach all I've learned giving credit where credit is due. So now I teach Reiki and "Egyptian Sekhem" (having no desire to infringe copyright laws). I am at present negotiating affiliation with The Association of Energy Therapists so that my students may become associates with and insure through the British Complimentary Medicine Society (BCMA) and keep high standards of practice without being tied to one particular system.
All of this has occurred in perfect synchronicity for me as for some time now I have found myself and my groups moving away from systems healing and moving towards teaching what is right for the individual student / group at the time of the workshop. Yes there must be some kind of accountability, basic standards met and a strong initial foundation given but without the rigidity that can come from too much control. So now I feel free to teach others and share knowledge and information in a dynamic way. I do this through hands on training and practice; personal development work; and holistic healing; as well as through manuals and distance learning, but never to the detriment of the energy that is coming through at the time. This is particularly true of experiences at the sacred sites where "the agenda" is apparently written by a higher power, or a will greater than our own.
Other training and great teachers I have been blessed to work with include Hypnopsychotherapy with Sue Washington; Crystal Therapy and Colour Therapy with Sue Richter; NLP with Bandler McKenna and Breen; Spirit Releasement, Soul Retrieval and Past life Regression with Irene Louis; a little TFT and EFT, health and fitness; aromatherapy through my wonderful sessions with Jacqui Christie of OrganicaJ, herbal medicine through same with Judy Patterson, Yoga with Pam; Indian Head Massage; Raindrop Technique and Tibetan Reflexology with Yvonne Jevons and who knows what next....
