13th Anniversary Celebrations Event No 5

An old lady wailing and crying …. Another old lady smiling at us …. While yet another few old ladies lying in bed, some sleeping and lost to the world, some staring vacantly at us or the wall … these are the sights that greeted LHSG UK members Lekha Quilter and Mala Tolia and I as we entered The Gayasingh Ashram (old peoples home) in Mauritius on Friday 21^st March.

Once again with the kind help of Dr Ritesh (chairman), Pravin Boodhun (Treasurer) and Yasni Bowaneedin (Meghan)Puttoo (Public Relations) of Unitey Mauritius we had been introduced to the management of Gayasingh Ashram for elderly women, abandoned women and those that were suffering from depression and other mental illnesses. A section of it also dealt with Downs Syndrome adults.

We set about giving Reiki to the poor distraught lady that was crying and crying, not co-operating with the nurses. After the Reiki treatment, I hugged her and gave her love and healing. Heart to heart healing. The result was magical. Within five minutes she settled down quiet and happy.

We proceeded to give Reiki to the other sad ladies either on a chair or as they lay in their beds. Our hearts went out to them …. To be spending their twilight years in an old peoples home instead of being surrounded with the love and care of family …..

We were taken to other wards too, that housed young abused girls, some with babies and elderly women in various stages of dementia. They loved the Reiki and our special healing touch. Some shed tears. One of the girls who had ‘lost her mind and her voice’ after she had been repeatedly abused by her drug addicted father was brought to me for Reiki. As I gave her the treatment, I felt her physical and emotional pain. The treatment finished, no words were exchanged, but her tight hug of thanks said it all. Later, she came up to me, holding out a biscuit from her little packet of tea time biscuits ……. I took the biscuit. One of the sweetest expression of love I have seen!

A lot of Love healing flowed from our hearts to one and all in this ashram during the Reiki seva which went on from 10.30 am to 4 pm during which all in the Ashram including the care givers and staff were treated, with a break for lunch which we ate together with them.

I also got to witness the chanting of the Gayatri Mantra by the more able residents before sitting down to lunch, which has been captured on video.

Many thanks go to Nancy, the Head Nurse who patiently showed us around all the wards of the Ashram (old age home) and elaborated on the condition of each resident.

We donated Rs 1000 which was added to our personal family donations to make a total of  Rs 5000 (Approx US$ 150) which was used to buy much needed items like Weetabix, Cereal powder and Vaseline lotion.

The third healing opportunity took place in an Establishment called the Gayasingh Ashram in Port Louis, capital of Mauritius

This was a live in centre for the infirmed elderly, abused and mentally ill residents

The entire place was very clean and tidy. The residents were well looked after from a hygiene point

We were shown around by Nancy, who was the Manager there.She is also a Reiki master!

As we went into the dormitory for the severely afflicted elders, we saw a lady who was screaming as if in distress.

All 3 of us, Kamalbhabhi, Lekha and myself activated the highest sacred space around her , then gave her distant healing and then hands on when she had calmed down enough to touch.

She then completely calmed down altogether

Kamalbhabhi gave her her coloured crystal bracelet because she wanted it and she seemed very content and with it.

We were told later that her family had left her at the ashram after taking away all her possessions …… what a sad world.

So she was also craving love and attention

Having activated the sacred space for the entire centre and each individually separately, the atmosphere changed from downright depressing to very jolly and light all over.

We gave healing to each and every individual in that building, including the carers there. Even the carers took a lot of healing, due to the stressful demands of the upkeep of the residents, understandably.

There were a couple of 16 year old girls there with 2 babies; they had fallen pregnant after being raped and the Mauritian police had brought them to the Ashram for theirs and their babies’ well-being.They would live there until the mothers turned 18     

The community spirit was great! They all played and carried the babies and helped look after them!  Imagine if these girls were living amongst society! They would be isolated and  judged and treated like pariahs  although they were the victims. I wonder what happened to the perpetrators?

There was another 15 year old who Kamalbhabhi had given healing to earlier. At teatime, they were all treated to some biscuits and tea. This beautiful soul shared her treat with Kamalbhabhi! And when bhabhi shared her biscuit with me, the 15 year old took it back from me and gave it to bhabhi and shared another one with me! This was soooo touching! To have nothing but then share your treat with someone, wow!

It gives you perspective in life; we have so much, yet we fight with each other for more and here was this child who only had a bed in a dormitory, a plate, a cup and a glass by her bedside and was willing to share what little she had with us.

Quite a few of the ‘patients’ asked if we had had lunch as they were about to have theirs.

We made a donation to the ashram but Nancy said they needed body cream, breakfast cereal etc so Meghan went to a supermarket to get those items on our behalf and returned to the ashram where we presented them to the administrators, who also had been given Reiki.

The treasurer from the Hindu Unitey society, Pravin, also came to see us again; took pictures and video interviews of what we do as LHSG.He also brought us a lovely mauritian dish each of ‘siro’ made from rice by his wife!

We were just totally surrounded by kind and caring people.

All in all, another superbly rewarding and humbling experience.

At all 3 places, I did Ho’oponopono to each individual before starting the healing.

Thank you Kamalbhabhi

Thank you Universe
