Continuing with our celebrations of our Reiki Founder Guru Mikao Usui\u2019s<\/strong> Birth Anniversary, on 15th<\/sup> August, here is our Seva No. 2.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness is the the priceless gem of a life lived in love, with love.<\/p>\n

Ho\u2019oponopono<\/strong> is the ancient Hawaiian art of \u2018setting things right\u2019. In modern times it stands for both: asking for forgiveness and for forgiving and letting go.<\/p>\n

On 15th<\/sup> August, LHSG founder member Punita Acharya<\/strong>, and new members Sonal Patel, Sejal Shah and Jilna Shah,<\/strong> and I<\/strong>, met at the Faraja Cancer support Centre at 9 am, all ready to share the knowledge and practice of Ho\u2019oponopono.<\/p>\n

The 18 participants were cancer patients and survivors, care givers and volunteers at the Faraja Cancer Support Centre, Nairobi, as well as our three new members.<\/p>\n

The meaning of Ho\u2019opnonpono was explained, and the between asking for forgiveness and forgiving and letting go was elaborated upon.<\/p>\n

After a short break midway through the workshop, the following exercises were done, of asking for forgiveness from<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a person we have hurt<\/li>\n
  2. our ancestors<\/li>\n
  3. Mother Earth and all the waters of the Earth<\/li>\n
  4. ourselves and<\/li>\n
  5. a sick part in our body<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They also did the exercise of forgiving a person who had hurt them.<\/p>\n

    And finally, we chanted the Ho\u2019oponopono mantra for 5 minutes for general forgiveness.<\/p>\n

    The whole workshop was well received, with many of the participants reporting feeling lighter and forgiven, as well as free as they forgave and let go.<\/p>\n

    We have been associated with FCSC<\/strong> since its foundation 7 years ago. We volunteer our Reiki services every week at the centre. As ever, our gratitude to Shaira Adamjee<\/strong>, the founder of FCSC<\/strong>. We are also very grateful to Dr Philip Odiyo, to Judy and Daan, and to all the volunteers<\/strong> that worked so hard to ensure the success of this workshop.<\/p>\n

    Love and Light to all<\/p>\n
