As always, we planted them the spiritual way. We were joined by Smita and Anjana and their friend Anjali in this holy task of planting a tree. Thirteen Causerina trees (donated by<strong> Shariffa<\/strong>) were planted along one section of the boundary wall, and an avocado tree, a mango tree and a neem tree (donated by LHSG) were planted inside the compound.<\/p>\n<p>The giving of Reiki to the cerebral palsy children followed next. As we approached the room in which the children were seated, we could hear their cries. The room had abt 50 children in wheelchairs and some were in the back of the room going through physiotherapy which was the painful part for them.<\/p>\n<p>Each of us, including Shariffa\u2019s driver <strong>Festo<\/strong> (who is a Reiki level 2 healer), gave Reiki to each child on the crown and heart chakras. Then we sent Reiki to all of them from a distance. As the Reiki proceeded, there was a palpable calm settling down in the room, and the cries were becoming less and less! So much so, that at the end of the healing session, as we clapped, the children copied us and started clapping too, and giving us hi fis!<\/p>\n<p>Another seva completed, by the Grace if God, The Universe and Reiki.<\/p>\n<p>Giving back to the environment and to Mother Earth and to the less fortunate members of our society, all at the same time!<\/p>\n<p>The LHSG Sevaks that did this seva were <strong>Shariffa, Reeta, Pratima, Sheela, Cooky and I.<\/strong> Please read their accounts of the seva, and watch the slideshow and video that follow.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Kamal Toia<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LHSG Founder Member<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<\/p>\n<p>LHSG together with friends of Raja Trust went to Ruai Compassionate Hands Centre in Ruai, Nairobi. This is run by Ann Njeri and well wishers.<\/p>\n<p>Seva of food, Seva of planting trees, Seva of giving Reiki to trees and to the disabled children.<\/p>\n<p>We were well received The food was ever welcome. Most Satisfying was to hear that the children are progressing. They are going to school. Getting medical care. Graduating. And practicing reiki. We are blessed<\/p>\n<p>When we see these dear souls, so incapacitated we can feel pity and feel paralyzed.<\/p>\n<p>When we as Reiki healers stand in our light we can reach out.<\/p>\n<p>We gave reiki to this boy. He is so calm. He was crying desperately. Unable to communicate. Before his legs were bent. Look how they have improved. Ann of the Home gives them Reiki three times a week. Soon he will go to school.<\/p>\n<p>As we gave Reiki the children calmed down. They gave high five and they clapped.
