How easy is it to dig a hole to plant a tree? Quite easy.<\/p>\n
How easy is to plant the tree in the hole? Quite easy.<\/p>\n
How easy is to water the planted tree? Quite easy.<\/p>\n
How easy is it to look after the tree till it grows tall strong and healthy? Now that is quite a tall order. Regular watering and weeding is called for and tender loving care!<\/p>\n
Planting and looking after a tree is a sacred art. On 16th December, LHSG members Balvinder Dadhialla, Anuradha Nath, Laveen Keswani, and myself, Kamal<\/strong>\u00a0Tolia<\/strong> went to Children’s Garden Home Orphanage and School<\/strong>, to impart this sacred knowledge to the older children of the home. These children were among the 90 children that had been taught Reiki Level 1 a week ago.<\/p>\n Each LHSG member, accompanied by a group of 8 (boys and girls) proceeded to the grounds where the holes had been dug.<\/p>\n First some manure was placed in the hole. Next, Mother Earth was apologised to for hurting her while digging the hole: Ho’oponopono was repeated 3 times, after which the hole was blessed with Reiki. The tree was then removed from the plastic bag and gently lowered into the hole. The soil was then packed around the tree lovingly, to the chanting of Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti … (requesting God for peace). Next came the watering … A little of the Reiki blessed water from the bottles was poured over the children’s tilted hands held lovingly over the tree so that it flowed gently onto the tree, while they chanted Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti … The next step was to bless the tree with Reiki as they wished positive thoughts for it, like ‘you will grow into a tall, strong and healthy tree … you will be a home for many little creatures …. ‘ Finally more water was poured at the roots of the tree, and the tree was named after two of the children, whose responsibility it would be to water the tree, give it Reiki, and generally look after it.<\/p>\n The children enjoyed the tree planting even as they carried out this Sacred Reiki ritual very seriously. They promised to look after ‘their trees’ well.<\/p>\n The trees that were planted were Mango, Avocado, Bananas, Loquart, and a Queen of the Night bush.<\/p>\n Before we left, in keeping with the Christmas festive season, we distributed milk, biscuits, sweets and lollipops to all the 170 children living in the home ranging from 2 – 20 years, and all the workers.<\/p>\n Please watch the tree planting videos and see the pictures that follow.<\/p>\n Thank you for supporting our website.<\/p>\n Wishing you and yours a spiritually uplifting Christmas!<\/p>\n Kamal Tolia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n LHSG Founder Member<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Images<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/pSmp2oAy-ls<\/a><\/p>\n ***** Video 1<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/DSnHBwuBwIw<\/a><\/p>\n Video 2<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/j5MQeqbBk2k<\/a><\/p>\n Video 3<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/Yv41mRQn9zw<\/a><\/p>\n Video 4<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/vAdMZzhM2yU<\/a><\/p>\n Video 5<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/H5OEveUgwZA<\/a><\/p>\n Video 6<\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/1mDDscDb1Eg<\/a><\/p>\n Video 7<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/SuXukPlcKgY<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How easy is it to dig a hole to plant a tree?
