Astral Reiki explained by creator Scarlett Seebach

What happens when conventional medicine has no answers and the pain just keeps going? Scarlett Seebach shares the turning point that pushed her from endless appointments into deep research, Reiki healing, and eventually her own method, Astral Reiki, a practice she describes as transmitting life force energy through the astral body rather than the physical body.

We explore human design as a bodygraph based system that acts like an instruction manual for how your energy works, not as a vague horoscope but as a practical way to live with more ease and alignment. Scarlett breaks down how Astral Reiki differs from traditional Reiki, why it can feel more intense than distance Reiki, and how conscious astral projection fits into the work. We also compare notes on theta states, the “creative void”, and how different healing modalities can be routes to the same underlying source of energy.

Safety and energetic hygiene are a major focus too. Scarlett walks us through grounding and protection steps including crystal grids, connecting to creator energy, bringing in earth energy, calling on Archangel Michael, and cleansing with the violet flame. We also get into crystal healing from a fresh angle: less about memorising what each stone is for, and more about cleansing, charging, communicating, and collaborating with crystals as conscious allies.

If you enjoy Reiki, astral projection, human design readings, crystal healing, spiritual protection, and grounded conversations about energy work, you will get a lot from this one. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves healing modalities, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Welcome everybody to another edition of MTC. I'm your host of your case, and I'm an Ether, I'm an NP, and I'm an a lawyer. And I'm welcome. So in the episode, we have a lovely new guest, and her name is Scarlett Seaback. So welcome, Scarlett. Thank you so much for coming on and supporting the podcast.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here. It's a pleasure.

Human Design As A Body Manual

SPEAKER_02 3:02

Now, Scarlett is the creator of Astral Reiki, which we'll get on to in a bit. But she's a Reiki master, a crystal healer, and she is also a human design reader. So fascinating stuff. So let's just start there because you can tell it was the phrase. What is a human design reader? What is that all about?

SPEAKER_01 3:28

So uh a human design reader is a little bit like an astrologer, but instead of using your horoscope, we use something called your body graph. And that is the human design system. And the human design system is really basically just an instruction manual for how your body works.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Right.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

In like real clear, easy to understand terms. It's um it's not quite like astrology, which is really more about self-awareness. Um, it's more about how to function in the world with the most ease possible. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

So is it also about life purpose as well?

SPEAKER_01 4:13

There is an aspect to that, yes. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

So that's it.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Yeah, and it's a whole lot easier to go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

So if you are, you know, um noticing how you function and you're functioning to your highest possibility, the likelihood is that you're gonna be heading up in the right direction, presumably. Exactly. Yes, exactly. Excellent. So how did you get started um in with weighty, with um human design? How how did that all start for you?

SPEAKER_01 4:47

Well, I suppose it really started, you know, we've I've been psychic my whole life, so it's most people, you know, that's just kind of the way it is. But um, it really started for me with pain. I was in a truly tremendous amount of pain on a regular basis. It was unrelenting. And I went to many different allopathic doctors. Uh good lord, there's no telling how many I went to. I was not counting, but dozens. And um, nobody could figure out what was wrong. Most people told me I was crazy. Um, I did finally find one person who believed me and sent me to several different specialists trying to figure out what the cause was. And eventually uh I saw one specialist who basically looked me in the eye and said, There's nothing we can do for you. Yeah. And I know how I was supposed to feel about that. I know I was supposed to feel like despair and like the world is ending and it's all time to give up. But honestly, what I really felt in that moment was this acute relief. It's like, I can finally stop doing this. This is not helping at all. It's a giant waste of time. It's even more painful and it cost money because I live in America, and like I can just stop. I can just stop doing this, and I can go do research and I can find something that actually works. So I didn't start with Reiki or crystals or human design. I actually started with massage therapy and acupuncture. Um, and I had an amazing massage therapist that I see to this day, and the acupunctures was fine, and but it wasn't enough. Like it just wasn't doing the job, and I wasn't getting to the root of the pain. So I started reading just absolutely voraciously. And eventually I finally found a book that said that Reiki was an excellent complement to acupuncture. And my first thought was, what's Reiki? I've never even heard of this. So I found a practitioner in my area, and I was just off to the races ever since.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

Yeah. I started in much the same way. Somebody said go for Reiki, and I thought, what I've never even heard the word. What's what's that all about? Why have I got to this age and not heard about it? So yeah, but once you've heard and once you've experienced, um it's an amazing foundation, isn't it? Really? Yes, absolutely. So, did it help your pain? Did it help?

SPEAKER_01 7:31

Oh, yeah, in a huge way. Um, my Raby Reiki practitioner um wasn't super clear on how to give Reiki without pain. Um, she hadn't learned that part yet. So the process was really quite painful, but after every single session, I was in less pain overall. And I I think I went about once a week for about two years, and I am basically pain-free at this point. Today's not the best example, but it's it's amazing though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 8:05

Because when you're in pain every day and you suddenly are pain-free, um the difference is just being in pain, it's just so debilitating, isn't it? Yeah, every aspect. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Well, and it sucks all your energy dry. You know, I mean, when you're constantly in pain and pretending that you're not because the world does not want to hear it, um, it's exhausting. So you never have any energy to do anything either. Like I could never have done this in the state that I was in then.

Astral Reiki And How It Differs

SPEAKER_02 8:36

No, no, because you can't be creative, you can't think outside the box, you're just trying to survive on internet. Yeah. So um, so do you teach Reiki or not yet?

SPEAKER_01 9:48

I um I am actually I have my very first student in late April that I'm gonna try and teach astral Reiki to, because I've been doing this for a few years now. Yeah and like it's time. And um, so we're gonna see how that goes. I am hoping I'll start doing very, very small classes in person in the fall. That's like my goal. Excellent.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

So explain to us because I'd never heard about this before. So explain to us what is astral Reiki.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

So I like to talk about astral Reiki in the context of traditional Reiki. So, as you know, with traditional Reiki, we are basically conducting light or life force energy through our crown, all the way down to our toes, back up through the heart, and out the hands and into the client. That is how we typically do that. Um, with astral Reiki, it's a little bit different because I'm not conducting Reiki energy or life force energy, whatever, through my body at all. What I'm doing is I'm taking my astral body, light body, soul consciousness, whatever you want to call it. Um, and I am removing that from my body up and out and taking it over to where my client is. And I am conducting that life force or light energy through my astral body instead of my physical body. Uh so that really helps it be a little bit cleaner because it's not passing through a vessel. It's, you know, going straight through my light body instead, which helps a lot. It also increases capacity for transmission. So it tends to be a significantly more intense experience than you would definitely experience with uh traditional distance Reiki, but sometimes even in person traditional Reiki, just because it's so much cleaner and it's you know, I I can go so much more intensely than most people can in a physical body.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

So how how so you're basically leaving your body in order to do Reiki on somebody else? Is that is that yes? So how did you find out that you could leave your body in order to do that?

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Well, I've been astral projecting since I was a small child, which I mean, so has everybody else. Every human on the planet, every dog on the planet, everything on the planet can astral project. So that's not special. Um, we all do it when we go to sleep.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Yes, I was gonna say sleep is the normal, normal where we astral travel, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 12:35

Yes, yes. Like about half of your dreams are actually astral projection. Not the other half are your brain cleaning itself. But there are definitely a lot of dreams that you have that are absolutely just astral projection. I am just better at it than most at doing it while conscious. And that's really the only difference. And that's born of um a dissociation technique. Uh, it's a very effective dissociation technique for when you have a rough childhood.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

So sure. Okay. So you almost have training in order to do that.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

Yes. Uh so really the only part that I needed to learn was how to transmit it, transmit the energy through my astral body, which came pretty naturally. Uh, you know, when I was first doing it, it maybe took me a couple of seconds and to to really figure it out because it's, you know, light. Uh you're already light. So you're just accessing more of it. So it's fairly simple.

SPEAKER_02 13:37

Yeah, it sounds amazing though. Um what do you see when you're doing that? Do you actually, in your, you know, your third eye, do you see yourself rising out of your body? Do you see yourself sort of putting your hands on somebody, or is it not like that?

Conscious Astral Projection Explained

SPEAKER_01 13:53

You just see light or so uh it kind of depends on uh whether or not that external mind consciousness goes with me. And sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. So it gets a little complicated sometimes. But for the most part, you see very similarly to how you see while you're in a body. So I'm not necessarily watching myself do this because I'm in the first person. So I can see my hands, I can see my client, I can see around me. And if I need to, I can take a wider perspective and watch myself doing what I'm doing. Um, and that can be handy for a few different reasons, but for the most part, it's I don't necessarily witness myself leaving my body because that's what I'm doing. So yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

Okay. Um so do you think that your there's a reason for this question, but do you think that your brain wave, your what happens to your physical body when you're moving out? If that makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Are you just in a state of um like meditation or it's something a little different than meditation? Because you know, with meditation, you can speak fairly easily if you need to. But since my consciousness is leaving my body, it makes it very difficult to speak. Like I can, I can pop back in real quick and talk if I need to, and then pop back out. But it does leave me functionally paralyzed, right? So there is there is a difference between that and meditation. I think I'm probably accessing some sort of almost theta state as far as brain waves go. It's like not quite theta, but just below.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

Yeah, because I do theta healing, so we are I wondered, yeah. Yeah, so we taught to sort of go up to speak to the creator, and I wondered if it was a similar sensation, a similar process to uh to to Astral Reiki.

Theta States And Energy Sources

SPEAKER_01 16:17

It is similar. Uh, I have just gotten into Theta healing just a little bit, so I have a little bit of experience with it now. Yeah, it's not something I'm sharing with my clients at the moment, but I am like accessing that same kind of energy as you do with Theta Healing. Um so it's not quite the same thing. Um, because you know, when you do your own Theta healing, at least, like you're accessing this like higher consciousness, and that's where you're hanging out, you know, in that creative void kind of area. Um, which is very cool, but it's not where my client is. No. So I can't hang out there and do the work at the same time, at least not as effectively yet. Um, but I do kind of channel that same energy now. I did used to channel the energy from somewhere else. Um I focused on like the center of the galaxy, but since I learned theta healing, I am channeling that life force energy much better. Um, and I find it to be cleaner than where I was getting my life source.

Shamanic Parallels And Spirit Guides

SPEAKER_02 17:24

Yeah, yeah. Fascinating. I find that uh really interesting. So um, you know, like shamanic work, they've travel to different worlds and they have. Do you think you know it's a similar thing? You're going to a different place. I appreciate it's a similar process that's happening there.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

Yes, it's very, very similar because most of shamanic work is really accessing the lower levels of the astral plane, which really is kind of where I'm hanging out most of the time when I'm working on my clients. Um, because usually it's the lower levels of the astral plane that need the work. Sure.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

And do you meet your guides there? Do you see guides when you're hanging out there?

SPEAKER_01 18:12

I see my guides and I see my clients' guides too.

SPEAKER_02 18:16

Right.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:18

It's interesting because I have done you know, journeying to different levels in humanic work. And I found it incredibly visual and meeting guides and you know, whole scenario going on there. It was a similar experience for every client, but different depending on what they needed, presumably.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Yes, yeah, it's very similar in a lot of ways. Now, I'm not a shaman, but not in any traditional sense of the word. Like I've had no shamanic training, but I think we operate in similar ways.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

Yeah, I think it's when you start looking at different healing modalities, I think um I think all the energy comes from the same place. So I actually think we're all accessing, accessing the same place, really, even if we're not not aware of it, so to speak.

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Yeah, yeah, there's like a million ways to open a can.

unknown 19:22

Exactly.

Grounding Protection And Crystal Grid

SPEAKER_02 19:23

Exactly. So um with all this astral um work, presumably, do you what do you do to ground and protect yourself? Because if you're traveling around, presumably that's that's something that's really important in your work.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Oh yeah, I take that incredibly serious seriously. I have like a multi-step process for the whole thing. I can go into the whole thing if you want me to.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

It is gonna take a minute, though. It's the one thing, as soon as I have a new client, that's what I talk about grounding protection. It is so important, I think, for everybody, whether you do engineering or not, but just living our lives. So go ahead. Very interesting.

SPEAKER_01 20:06

Okay. So the first thing that I do uh before I even start the session is I set up a crystal grid. And the outside portion of the crystal grid is in a square and it uses terminalated um quartz towers, four of them for to set a protective space, like a you know, representation of a protective space. Right. Um, so like they that's the first step. Then I do the grounding, and I like to these days, now that I know Theta Healing, I like to connect with that life force energy, like the the creator energy. So I imagine this white light that's like a laser beam coming from creator all the way down to the center of my heart, and then I stop there. And then I envision this, you know, the center of the earth, that red molten hot level, and I'll bring a red light up uh from that into my heart. And then I let them cross so that they're actually creating like this golden beam of light that connects me to the earth below and the heavens above. So that's my grounding practice, and it's surprisingly effective. I I am very happy with it, but it makes doing it that way makes it easier to move in and out because I'm connected to both places um in a flexible way.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

So what about I do what about your protection? What do you use for your protection?

SPEAKER_01 21:38

So there's a few different layers, and it kind of depends on what's required. I always call in Archangel Michael for protection. Um, he is my go-to guy, he's very effective. Um, if need be, again, depending on the situation, depending on what's going on with my client, I'll call in some additional angels if necessary. Um, and I always use the violet flame to cleanse the space and kind of create um like a sphere around us so that nothing can really get in or out. We're all just kind of here in this transmutative energy. Um, and not a whole lot of things can bypass a violet flame because you know that's such uh intense transmutation energy. But if I'm working with a client who's like super interesting, then I also have some blue lightning that I will infuse with the violet flame to make sure that nothing can get in or out.

Clairaudience And Crystal Communication

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm glad to hear that because I I think it's so important that both of those elements. So you make some crystals there. I love crystals.

SPEAKER_00 22:46

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 22:47

I used to sell them. I do, you know, crystal healing, I used to give talks about crystals. My house is called done. Mine too. I notice that you do workshops, but also you talk about being clear audience with work for with crystals. What does that mean? Just tell the listeners what that means.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

Well, you know, when you're clear audience, your guides can talk to you, angels can talk to you, uh, plants can talk to you, uh, though that's an area where I'm not super great at. But also crystals can talk to you because they do have their own consciousnesses. So they can tell you what they need, they can tell you what they're good at, they can tell you whether or not they're feeling it today, um, all the things, you know. So I am in fairly consistent communication with all of my crystals to make sure that I am being a good steward for them.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Yeah. I love that. I always talk about crystals having their own consciousness. I think. Yes. I'm a big believer that we don't use crystals to their full power. And yes, the analogy I was given was like there, you know, we have this amazing computer and we're showing everybody that we have it, and isn't it wonderful? And we haven't even turned it on yet. Yeah, I see crystals. And I'm absolutely I love hearing that you can, you know, you communicate with them, and you know, because I think that is the next step. I think that's really you know, a lot of people would say, Oh, that's really woo-woo, but I think there's a whole potential there that really isn't really tapped into a lot.

SPEAKER_01 24:31

Yeah, and that's actually the focus of my work whenever I'm teaching about crystals. There are lots and lots of different people and books and uh apps that will tell you what crystal is good for what goal you have. And that I don't even talk about it. Um, it's like who cares? Like so many other people can take care of that for you. So, my real focus is how to actually use this crystal, how to cleanse it, how to charge it, how to connect with it, how to collaborate and activate and take care of your crystals. And so that's really my focus is making sure that you understand how to actually communicate with your crystals so that you can make sure that you're being a good steward.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Yeah. So if somebody came to a session with you with a crystal that they just felt very connected to. And that they loved. Are you able to get to talk to the crystal and get information from the crystal for that person?

SPEAKER_01 25:33

Sure. Yeah, I can I can do that, but I prefer to teach them how to.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

Yeah, sure. But um, like you know, I'm a past life regression therapist, and often I can see what the clients are seeing during the process, but perhaps they can't quite see what they should be seeing. Um, so in a way it's a similar thing, I suppose. You can you you understand what it's trying to tell them, but maybe they can't always get that connection.

SPEAKER_01 26:07

Yeah, uh, and that is true. Sometimes it takes a minute to you know figure out how to make the connection. But like if they're already in love with that crystal, then it's usually yeah, it's usually not that hard to connect the dots. Yeah.

Abundance Coaching And Human Design

SPEAKER_02 26:24

So nice. Uh I love that. That's great. And you're also um a financial and abundance coach as well.

SPEAKER_01 26:33

Oh yeah. I um I do do that uh occasionally. I haven't in a long time, but I still have all of my materials. Um, I do still have a um a human design reading that's very financially focused available. Um, so yeah, I can I can.

SPEAKER_02 26:54

The thing is, you we learn these skills, don't we? And then we go off in a certain direction, and you're obviously flowing the Reiki and the Astral Reiki, and we forget that that's also there as a tool.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

I did forget. It is a thing. It is a thing that I can absolutely do. It's um, you know, my north node's in Pisces, but that makes my South Node in Virgo. So when I first started my business, like I was very into the idea of financial everything. Like let's let's mesh the finances and the spirituality as much as humanly possible. But as I've grown into my business, it's like I've really grown into the Piscean nature of my business. And so I've leaned into that a lot harder. But yeah, I'm actually incredibly good at meshing your finances and your spirituality. And if you want to talk about it, we absolutely can.

What Scarlett Sees In Sessions

SPEAKER_02 27:56

Yeah, no, that's excellent. So just going back to the astral Reiki, it fascinates me, there's uh, I was just thinking about it, what we were talking about then. But while you're there in that different plane, working, giving Reiki, presumably you get lots of information about that person through their energy, whether that be physical, emotional, um, mental. Do you bring that back? Do you do you sort of give that back to the client if you or is it more intuitive? Do they need to know that?

SPEAKER_01 28:33

Um for the most part, I try to be really transparent with my client about whatever it is that I see on their body without scaring them. Um, because you know, there's no reason to do that for the most part, unless they should be. Um but yeah, like if if I see that their liver's inflamed, I will let them know and be like, you know, maybe you should maybe you should consider looking at a magnesium supplement or something like that, so that we can deal with this liver inflammation and that kind of thing. Or I'll let them know if their chakras have a lot of stuck energy in them and they may need to pay more attention to one chakra or another. Or if they've got parasites or something, then obviously I'll remove them, but we then need to have a conversation about protection. Um so yeah, just depending on what's going on with them. I'm really quite upfront about that, but I never just tell my client what's wrong with them. Like that's not the vibe. It's like, okay, this is what's going on. This is what we can do to help with that. Yeah. Um, and so I don't like to leave them hanging if I if I can. But do you actually do you actually see the chakras?

SPEAKER_02 29:46

Do you do you see them with colours that we talk about? Yeah. And do you see the different layers of the aura, perhaps see the physical slightly different to the emotional? I'm just interested in how people see things.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

I um, you know, I tend to treat the aura kind of like it's it's one thing. Um for the most part, like if there's just stuck energy in the aura, then I just deal with it. The aura is actually like one of the least interesting things about I too. I mean, yeah, it's there, it just needs cleaned and then it's fine.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

Okay. Do you see it colorful though? Do you see do you see people's energy as being colorful?

SPEAKER_01 30:25

Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, people are full of color. Um it depends on how light depleted they are, how much color they have. Um a lot of people when they first come to see me, they're quite muted because they don't have enough light in their systems. But once we get that taken care of, they're like super colorful.

SPEAKER_02 30:45

Yeah, because that always amazed me when I first started seeing people's auras and they were bright colors. That always, I don't know why that amazed me, but I just didn't put you know the aura to bright colours. I mean, I do now, but it's so lovely to see just flowing very how I see it, it tends to be like, you know, like oil and water. It's like that that flowing, constant, colourful movement. Um but you know, we all see it differently because we filter it through different, you know, not us.

SPEAKER_01 31:21

We do indeed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

Oh it's been so lovely talking to you, Scarlett. It's such um it's such an interesting and fascinating sort of um I wouldn't say modality, but I mean Ricky, I love Reiki anyway, but taking it slightly differently is so interesting when somebody takes it in a slightly different direction. Um I think that's I think that's um fascinating and it sounds an amazing thing to experience actually.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

Thank you. I like to think so.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

So I will put all of the details, um, all your um links, etc., under the episode when it comes out. So um the listeners can contact you because you do a one-to-one with your astral Reiki, don't you? So they can contact you for treatment.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

Yes, uh, I do one-to-one with astral Reiki and human design readings. I even have a crystal consultation um if you want it, though I recommend you take the class first. Yeah. Okay, fabulous.

SPEAKER_02 32:31

Well, that's amazing. Thank you ever so much for joining the podcast. I've really enjoyed talking to you.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

Thank you so much for having me. This has been a lot of fun. I appreciate it. It's been a real pleasure.
