What is Shekinah Rapha Alignment™?
"Shekinah" refers to the name given to the presence of God/Creator that manifests on Earth to interact directly with living beings. Sometimes viewed as a feminine representation of the Creator, the Shekinah acts as a spiritual vessel of light which has been referred in many texts throughout history as "The Holy Spirit". "Rapha" is the Hebrew word that translates as healing, to heal, being healed, or a healer depending on how it is used. From this the name for archangel Raphael ("Divine Physician of God") is derived. By aligning ourselves in mind, body, and spirit with the Shekinah presence within all things, and the higher dimensional Divine Blueprint for our intended True Self, we can awaken greater healing and our potential to transcend the old world view of life.
The process can be used for self-healing through a specialized guided meditation and set of visualization/breathing techniques or can be used by a certified practitioner to treat another recipient. Taught in three levels (Aleph Rapha, Mem Rapha, Shin Rapha), a practitioner progresses over time to master self-healing, healing of others, and eventually how to teach and attune others to perform the alignment.
The Alignment Process
The alignment technique is an integrated approach to activating self-healing based on practices found within the traditional teachings of Kabbalah and Angelic healing methods which have been used throughout history. According to many interpretations and beliefs about the creation of life and the world, the Creator/Source/God manifested all of existence and the universe by the power of a divine energy called in various languages "The Word". It was written in early Kabbalistic teachings that this was done at one level by manipulating powerful universal forces which were encoded in heavenly symbols; a language of light.
The early Semitic cultures constructed an alphabet which was based upon the astral forms/higher dimensional language of the Creator. Evolving through time, it eventually became what is recognized today as the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph-Beth). Many teachings have explored the mystical properties of the sacred letters including the practices of Kabbalistic numerology (Gematria), chanting of sacred names, and interacting with Angelic forces. Some schools of thought actually focused directly on the shapes and sounds of the letters to unlock powerful beneficial forces which could produce miracles by allowing those who meditated upon them to be co-creators in their lives. Also stemming from these studies was, amongst the many treasures within both early and modern Kabbalah, the explanation of how the Divine Source actually creates life and reality. Here the idea of the "Four Worlds" comes into play. These four levels of the creation process follow through from Divine concept (Atziluth Realm / Emmination), initiation of that concept (Briyah Realm / Implementation), the astral archetype of what the concept will become (Yetzirah Realm / Formation), and finally the manifestation (Assiyah Realm / Physical World). This applies to all forms in existence, even the human body.
Shekinah Rapha Alignment™ allows one to not only tap into the miraculous gifts of the Aleph-Beth letters, but also allows one to interact with their own physical, mental, and spiritual bodies as they are being simultaneously constructed through the various layers or levels of the creation process. Similar in concept to the New Age terms such as "Archetypes" and the Astral World, the Four Worlds represent varying layers as the Divine Source condences raw potential knowledge and energy in progression until finally physical matter or experience is created. Through the guidance of the Higher Self, an extension of our own consciousness which allows us to have the true experience of our Soul as it interacts with our Creator, as well as the assistance of the Aleph-Beth consciousness energies and Angel Guides, one is able to witness and participate in accessing the potential of healing which is born during the process to form our bodies and perceptions.
Experiencing the Alignment
Whether one has been attuned (received instruction and a simple ritualized initiation and activation of the process) to self-heal through the process or if one is being healed by a trained practitioner, the relaxed and transformative process brings one to a state of self-acceptance, empowerment, and integrated well being. Just as with any energy-based holistic therapy, there is a focus on treating the entire individual on all levels as they are willing to allow. There may be gentle chants of sacred Hebrew words or angelic names. Healing touch is only used at rare occassions in the process as the primary focus is on guided meditation for the client and direction of the Aleph-Beth letters as they are used as symbols of healing energy which are visualized and placed within the body in a specific series of gestures and breathing performed by the practitioner. Anyone can benefit for the greatest good from the process, and at all levels can be used in conjuction with other alternative health techniques including but not limited to Reiki, Quantum Touch, Rapha Touch, Ruach Healing Method®, Crystal healing, Chakra work, Aura healing, Accupuncture/Accupressure, Intuitive Counseling, Light Therapy, and of course licensed professional medical care.
