The shelter accommodates these girls and tries to rehabilitate them. The girls are between the ages of 10 \u2013 18 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We have been giving them hands on and distant Reiki healing sessions and attuned them to Reiki level 1 so that they can treat themselves and others. This has helped tremendously in healing them through and through. We have also been donating various items to them over the past year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0I received a request from the house mistress Lillian and the manager Dorothy that the girls get very depressed over Christmas time, so please could we bring them some balloons to cheer them up for Christmas? They were also low on rations, so would appreciate some.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Lotus Healing Seva Group rose to the Seva occasion once again! Lata made a lovely big cake and on Friday 20<sup>th<\/sup> December, Nalina and I took it to the shelter with a bale each of maize meal, white flour, porridge flour, some red beans, green grams, tea, sugar, biscuits, ice cream yogurt, chocolates, balloons and a Christmas tree with lights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The girls were over the moon with the gifts! Their smiles in the pictures say it all!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">And the best part is that they had kept up with doing Reiki on themselves. We made them give Reiki to the newcomers in the shelter who, needless to say, enjoyed it very much! They also did Reiki on each other. Nalina gave them a small talk on sharing their gift of Reiki with others by treating their friends to a healing session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Wishing them Goodbye, we left the shelter, promising to return in January to teach the new comers Reiki.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><em>Kamal Tolia\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em><\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <em><strong>Lillian and the girls with the donated items<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kamaltolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/1.-Lillian-and-the-Girls-of-the-shelter-with-the-donations-....jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1874\" alt=\"1.
