Green Tara Seichim

What Is Seichim?

Seichim, a word (pronounced "SAY-keem") of unknown origin-but closely related to the ancient Egyptian word sekhem (sxm), which means life-force, or energy-is used to indicate a system of healing that many feel has ancient origins in Tibet. This practice is said to have been handed down from very ancient times.
