The year 2017 is upon us! How did we celebrate? By holding our first Reiki training camp of the year with the girls from Hawkers Market Centre<\/strong>. We have been associated with this centre since the last 5 years through their Founder Sharffa Keshavji<\/strong> who is also a Senior Lotus Healing Seva Group, Kenya<\/strong>. Girls from the informal settlements of Nairobi are chosen for a year’s training in Computers, sowing, accounts among other skills at the HMGC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year LHSG trains the new recruits in Reiki 1 and 2. And so it is that on February 8th, Punita<\/strong>, assisted by Shariffa, Grace and Pooja<\/strong>, conducted our first Reiki camp for the year 2017.<\/p>\n

Please read on for their account of the camp and do watch the pictures that follow.<\/p>\n

Today the 8th of February 2017 was the first Reiki camp for the HMGC GIRLS<\/strong>. It was level 1 with new recruits. There were 12 girls including two other ladies Josephine (a nanny) and Ilaben. Everything was perfectly set and as we started I could see that the girls were very keen to learn Reiki. I explained to them that each chakra has a colour. I explained once and asked them to repeat them, and to my surprise it was done perfectly.<\/p>\n

After the attunement I asked if anyone felt anything? They answered with the colors of the chakras…..I thought very receptive!<\/p>\n

Self-healing was also done with a lot of patience. They took their time and did it well.<\/p>\n

Lunch was a delight for all of them as they enjoyed the burgers, cake and juice very much.<\/p>\n

Partner healing took an hour and a half which meant all that was taught was absorbed very well. Each and every participating candidate was very keen on healing their partners. After the session was over, I asked them how each and every one felt? One said she had a stomach ache but after the healing it’s gone. Another said her eyes were hurting, but after the healing the pain disappeared. All said they felt very relaxed.<\/p>\n

When the girls were doing Partner healing in the afternoon there was a lot of heat ( Reiki )flowing through their hands. This, I realized when I was feeling their hands!<\/p>\n

In the end I asked if they wanted to learn level 2 and the all said YES very keenly.<\/p>\n

My gratitude to the universe, Reiki and my Guru Mrs. Kamal Tolia for giving me this opportunity to conduct the camp.<\/p>\n

Lots of love and light.<\/p>\n

The day was special to say the least.<\/p>\n

The girls were ready and eager to learn. They listened attentively and grasped everything we taught so quickly. They were super receptive to learning Reiki and to using it as a tool in their lives to better themselves; for their own good and for the good of those around them.<\/p>\n

During and after the attunement the healing energy in the room was palpable. It was a surreal yet very peaceful and blessed experience for us all.<\/p>\n

On a personal level this was my first Reiki camp since learning Reiki level 3B, the Teacher Level. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to teach. In many ways it felt and still feels like I’ve come full circle. I know now more than ever that Reiki came into my life as a gift to be given.<\/p>\n

Love and light<\/p>\n

Here are the comments from the girls who said we ‘ elevate ourselves and others’<\/p>\n

Now they are ready to be who they truly are so they can reach their potential and work together to shine a light on each other and all the people they will touch during this year at HMGC and at the Faraja Cancer Centre.<\/p>\n

Some of the girls walk two hours to get here. They come from Huruma, Korogocho, Kangemi and Deep Sea.<\/p>\n

Some live under bridges! All from broken homes.<\/p>\n
