Under the aegis of The Sindhi Welfare Society, we held a stall for three days, January 30, 31 and February 1 at a Hindu Council Expo. in Nairobi, Kenya. The exhibition was held at the Oshwal Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Our purpose was to spread the knowledge of Reiki by offering Free Reiki Healing to the visitors at the fair. At the same time, we were selling my Book \u2018Soul Reflections\u2019. The book was launched on the afternoon of 31<sup>st<\/sup> January, with the kind help from Rekha Kochar of the Hindu Council Women\u2019s Wing.<\/p>\n<p>The Sevaks who helped out during these three days were <strong>Lata, Mamta, Pratima, Punita, Anuradha, Sheela, Cooky, Sumiti, Grace, Dee, Priya and myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the sale of the book was going on at a steady pace, we were busy offering\u00a0 20 mins Free Reiki Mini treatments to the people.

We often had 2 or 3 Reiki treatments going on at the same time, much to the curiosity of the passersby! Once, there were 4 of us with our hands full, giving Reiki to four people. We were all engrossed &#8230;.. After a few minutes, when I looked up, I saw we had an audience!! \u2026\u2026.
