Lotus Healing Sewa group conducted Reiki level 2 camp on 7th May 2015.
We had 9 girls from Hawkers Market Girls Centre and 3 ladies from Ruai. The volunteers for Sewa were Sheila, Dee , Pooja and myself, Mamta.
The students were all looking forward to learning Reiki level 2. They got the symbols in no time and were attuned after that . While sharing their experiences they said that they felt a light pass through their body,some felt warm and some felt cold .They all felt relaxed. This was followed by self – healing and the juice and biscuits break.
Then they moved on to learning distant healing with the powerful symbols. The Reiki Box was pretty exciting session , followed by lunch -which we all enjoyed!
Lastly we made a circle and did healing for mother Earth. They experienced the power in numbers! Together we sent healing to all their Reiki envelopes and to other issues of Kenya and the whole world.
We ended with the girls singing and dancing happily to the “banana song “.
They expressed their gratitude and Anne from Ruai said that “now it will be so much easier to send reiki to the children “.She runs a home called ‘compassionate hands ‘ for special needs children at Ruai .
We left feeling grateful and with a feeling of deep contentment in our hearts which only Sewa can bring!
In Nairobi, Kenya, about 25 Kenya members met at 9.45 am in Cooky’s new house for the Wesak Meditation on Monday 4th May. Cooky had placed chairs in a circle around a creatively arranged altar in the centre …. There were Buddhas, Kwan Yin, Babaji and Ganpati moortis (statues) with Bamboo plants, and lots of candles. As members came in, they placed their crystals, moortis, pictures of Higher Beings, and bottles of water and the seera and shaker para (food) to be blessed at the altar.
A few mins before 10, we allocated 5 chairs for our members Runi (Kenya, Kisumu), Raj (Perth, Australia), Manisha, Arpita, Priyanka (India, Kolkatta) and invited them to join us. At exactly 10 am, together with our LHSG members and other Love and Light workers, we started our journey to the enchanted Wesak Valley in the Himalayas!
We received blessings from Buddha, Kwan Yin, Lord Shiv, Jesus Christ, Babaji and the Masters and Higher Beings, drank the waters from the crystal bowl, spread our Love and Light with our environment, our city, our country, our continent, the Earth, our Solar System, our Galaxy, our Universe and the Cosmos ….. and returned back to Nairobi all starry eyed and bursting with love and light at the end of the meditation ….
We spent the rest of the day feeling replete from within, keeping as silent as we can, so that we could continue to enjoy the feeling of utter peace and joy within.
What we did not realize was that the glow in us was actually visible to others!! …. After the meditation, Priya and Bindi went to a café. They were having their coffee and chatting softly. Suddenly, a man from another table walked up to them and said … ‘You seem so happy, both of you! It is very rare to see two people so happy and joyful. Lovely to see so much joy and happiness in you both!’ …….. and he walked away!
Then the next day, 5th May, Yatinder and I (Kamal) met with Kenya external members Tejal and Sharmila and a friend to do the Wesak Meditation again, but this time the venue was a by a river at the West House hotel in Nairobi. The sound and energy of the river added an extra dimension to the already great love vibrations of the meditation leaving us on a High once again! We ended by pouring some of the blessed water in the river for the love vibrations to reach all the waters of the world!
Our Uk members met at Bena’s house to meditate together. They had some wonderful experiences too!
Do read on for our experiences……..

I AM!
My Vesak meditation experience was truly heavenly. As I saw each and every guide
They filled my jholi – brown shawl with blessings from their cupped hands.
Throughout the day I was mostly quiet and was riding on a high love and light.
Thank you Kamal Aunty for making this feeling/experience possible.
Love and light.
Cooky
They say where there is a will there is a way. The saying felt so true, when against all odds, I finally reached with Shalini to Cooky’s house on the 4th for the meditation against all odds. As we arrived, I was full of gratitude to the Universe, that I could join my Lotus sisters at the venue. Cooky had very creatively set up The Altar at the centre of the pyramid shaped glass roof. The sun rays had a magical effect as they played hide and seek with us. I couldn’t have imagined a better place to do the meditation.
Meditation:
The meditation conducted under the guidance of our Guru Kamal flowed in very smoothly as we all followed the steps one by step. Although I had done this meditation with her three years ago, and since then haven’t heard the CD, as I had been doing it from memory for past two years, it felt very familiar. I felt the presence of a lot of higher beings, felt the strong yet serene energy pervading me inside and outside. Each higher being entered with a different coloured light enthused channel through the same dimension.
I experienced all that was mentioned in the meditation CD and also saw a lot of images emerging and merging into each other to become the ONE. A variety of forms made their presence felt and became the Buddha. The Buddha multiplied into many Buddhas all of whom were Golden and then they all became one. The Buddha would suddenly be sleeping, be floating, be sitting in Gasho, be placing his Hand over me to bless me. All that seemed to happen instantaneous within a flick of a second. I felt Iwas floating and going all over the valley and the hills around, moving in all directions and observing many groups of beings, groups of people as well groups of horses, elephants, birds etc.
When Kwan Yin was about to emerge, I felt the subdued hues of Pink all over the room. Kwan Yin turned into Tara into Goddess Saraswati into Durga Mata. It felt like a collective female God energy. As Lord Shiva appeared the energies started moving in a vortex all over the room and this energy was a super charged energy.
At one instance, I heard the unspoken word from Buddha, “Monica, you are now pregnant. Pregnant with the Knowledge, you have to give it birth.” I really cannot figure out what it meant and what am I supposed to do. The CD stopped and Kamal told us to bilocate back to the room from the Wesak Valley, so reluctantly I returned back.
The Effect:
The calm and peace within was great as with any meditation. Sitting with the group, it felt much more energetic and the vibrations were very soothing.
Although I could not maintain a total silence as I had a series of meetings lined up for the day, I did manage to speak less and listen more. I felt very energetic the whole day, despite my usual aches and pains. I felt like I was on a high.
Beyond all else, the feeling of oneness with my outer self and my inner self and the disconnected connection with the wordly matter gives me much pleasure and satisfaction now.

This is my favorite meditation. The energies are so wonderful when doing it in our LHSG group together.
When Buddha came to bless me he came with so much golden light it was overwhelming. During the rest of the meditation I saw constant swirls of green and red colours. It was very moving and I realised I had tears in my eyes at the end when I came back.
Thank you so much Kamal for leading us through such a beautiful meditation. It gets better every year!

I am.
This was my first time doing this beautiful meditation.
I was in valley with the feeling of “deja-vu” …. Familiar surroundings….. Happy to be back!
Then as Kamalji guided through the tape, I already knew who was coming to bless us…..Lord Buddha with his loving gentle energy enveloped us……followed by Mother Kwan Yi with Her “fresh cool crystal clear”…..for lack of better description….energy enveloped us…… Lord Shiva with His strong loving energy came next and boy! I’m sure I had a big smile on my face then.
Last but not least, was Babaji, Who picked me up and emerged me in his heart…. And there I remained engulfed surrounded filled with pure Love. Awesome!
I did not want to leave.
Thank you Kamalji for this yet one more amazing experience.

The Wesak meditation was a very powerful experience for me. As we started the meditation I felt for the setting up of sacred space we all stepped in to a huge amethyst geode. It was beautiful.
During the whole meditation, I felt like I was in a vortex of energy. Very strong and high vibrations. All the higher beings who came to bless us instead to fading away, they merged with us. The beautiful Wesak valley is still in our memory shots. Thank you Kamal Aunty for this lovely experience.
Love & light

The wesak meditation was a beautiful experience! I Felt myself in the Wesak valley with all my Lhsg sisters. I saw a huge crowd of light workers with us . The whole atmosphere was charged with love and joy as if there was a festivity going on. When lord Buddha came down to bless us all I could see was brilliant golden light and felt utter peace.When mother Kwan yin came I saw beautiful luminous blue light. It’s Difficult to describe the colour because I have never seen that neon blue colour -love was just pouring out of her. Lord Shiva came with very very vibrant energies! I felt as if every particle within and outside was vibrating with his joyous energies. When Babaji came -I felt him sitting right in front.his face was very clear and I felt a beautiful connection . Had a beautiful conversation with him ! The whole experience was really amazing and left me completely speechless ! Thank you Kamalji for the beautiful meditation .Thank you my Lhsg sisters for your beautiful energies! Love and light!

Dear Kamal aunty
Thank you for joining at West House Hotel on 5th May and leading us on a lovely Wesak Meditation and blessing the waters of the river at West House. We all enjoyed it.
My experience during the meditation ;-
I could feel the swift in the energy as in.. it was getting cold …I also saw the water from the crystal bowl and saw many Divine beings and light workers who had joined with us in the Wesak valley. I saw many of us drinking the blessed water from the crystal bowl which was turning liquid golden while everyone was drinking.
Thank you , it felt so nice and we are so blessed to receive all the love n light blessings from lord Buddha and Mother Kwan yin, Lord Shiva, Father Jesus , Babaji of the Himalayas and many other divine light beings.
It was a fantastic idea to bless the waters of the river at the West House.
We are so honored and blessed to have this opportunity for seva.
It turned out to be a beautiful, love and light filled morning with yoga, meditation and being by the river and blessing the waters.
Thank you for all that you do, for guiding us and also giving us the opportunity.
much love n light always , in all ways

Happened to meet Gautam Buddha .. ,, the interpretation given by ppl.as.births have gone by., spc his locked curly hair ,,.to me.in my.vision he looked very.different.from.the pics which he is shown as.!!!
It was a.meditation of full knowing that everything is connect….
I could.see all beings woven in the web of life ,,, attached to one thread but having different journeys….
I also saw all members of Lhsg ,,, spc our hearts breathing with oneness n peace ..
Beautiful sight …
Thank you kamal aunty ..
May my.mother earth shine in love …

The weishak meditation went really well.
We started @2.30pm.There were 15 of us including myself.Everone felt really good & the energy in the room was really high. AFew of them shared their experience.
Bhartiben had visited the Wesak Valley last year so her experience was realy good & she was so exited to be there again.she could see lord shiva lord buddha kwan yin blessing us.
Lekha has alredy started her journey to the valley for last two weeks.Every time she shuts her eyes or meditating or in deep thoughts or healing she felt she was in with monks & sages.she drank tons &tons of blessed water.
Pritiben doesnt know who babaji is but when the c d reached the part about babaji she was covered n a blast of bright white light.
Surbhi saw all outline of the gods but she really could see kwan yin very clearly.she felt so much peace & energy was very high.
Myself, my experience was so so good i started the journey as soon as the cd started.
So lord bhuddha,lord shiva babaji & kwan yin. The valley was really packed with sages & monks & the whole area had a blanket if white light covering the whole valley like a canepe.
The whole room was full if higher beings. Took me a long time to come out of the meditation it was so beautiful.
Thank you
Love & light

Hello all
For the wesak meditation, we gathered together at benas house.
As we began the meditation, I found myself with a big crowd of monks clad in burgundy! Everyone was headed towards an opening in the valley just as kamal Bhabhi says on the meditation cd.
I saw A form arrive which turned into Lord Buddha, he exuded beautiful calm energy and golden light. We were there as a group , Lhsg, and he bestowed his blessings upon us.
This form faded and Lady Master Kwan Yin arrived, again very calm and releasing loving energy; she then blessed us all with the water , which I later realised was from the water carrier she has with her!
It’s difficult to describe the feel and taste of that water but it was exquisite!
Kwan Yin faded and Lord Shiva arrived, followed by Babaji
I then saw beings clad in white robes ‘floating’ around above the crowd, adding to the magical but serene atmosphere.
Then gradually , it all faded, leaving me with a truly blessed feeling, impossible to describe.
It was fantastic to also know that my fellow LHSG members were there too !! Brothers and sisters travelling together on our spiritual journey!
Thank you Bhabhi for the recording, time and effort and the opportunity you created in making this happen
Lotus Healing Seva Group (Kenya) have another feather in their cap …. We trained 49 eager young children aged 7 – 15 years from the Kangemi slums in Nairobi. This happened on 16th April 2015. These children are among many that three Nairobi ladies Prafulla, Laxmi and Bhavna feed every Sunday in Kangemi.
Empowering the needy and the destitute people is not new to Lotus Healing Seva Group. We have been doing it for the past 5 years! But each time we have done this seva in the slums, we have faced challenges ….. teaching in the local language Kiswahili, delayed starts due to the people having transport problems, compressing a 7 hour training schedule to 5 and sometimes even 4 hours to fit the time available …. Etc. etc. ….
This time we had to teach to the sounds of occasional honking of buses and matatus (public mini vans), and sometimes to music blaring from loudspeakers, AND, with hardly any room to sit down during the 5 hours! At times, there was hardly any room to even stand between the children to guide them in the healing. The pictures tell it all!
Does all this deter us? No, and it never will. In spite of these difficulties, come 3 pm, we had 49 NEW little Reiki Healers with shining eyes, bright faces, and healing hearts and hands, all ready to share their Love and Light with the world!
The sevaks that did this seva were Mamta, Shariffa, Nalina, Anuradha and myself, Kamal.
Read on for their accounts and do see the photos that follow.
Shariffa ….
As we arrived in Kangemi, past the very poor roads, non existent sewage, water or power, the lack,of basic amenities was very apparent.
Once we entered the room where the children were chanting ‘shivo hum’ the boundaries became seemless. We realised that we were the ones receiving an opportunity to see the open spirit of these children. Children who were chanting with all their hearts, inviting us to join in. As we joined in the energy changed and all boundaries disappeared.
We felt so grateful to be able to share the life force that has no boundaries.
The children were enthusiastic, receptive, fell into the flow of Reiki. They healed themselves patiently and sincerely.
As they gave reiki to,their partners they were patient and generous.
Truly as the Njeroges,Otienos, and Busolos, healed each other, we felt that surely those who heal each other, chant together, eat together, will indeed live in harmony.
It was a humbling experience that made us realise that God holds us in HIS perfection. That indeed we are not perfect but HIS holding us in HIS perfection is a great gift for us. That children live in this simple understanding. The kingdom of God I’d within.
We were working from inside out.
Those cherubic faces with bright eyes and dimpled cheeks. Creature of God indeed thank you LHSG for the opportunity to open up our hearts.
Shivo Hum=
Nalina ….
AUM
I am grateful to have been part of this seva and for the universe and our guru’s guidance to make this possible.
Yesterday’s seva was to teach reiki level 1 to 50 children in Kangemi. These children are being supported for food and education by four ladies on a voluntary basis. It was touching to see the difference they are making in the lives of these children. The lotus healing group’s contribution of teaching reiki to this group of children was very humbling. We have now empowered these children to not only heal themselves but others around them as well. We all realize that in this abject poverty in these slum areas access to medical treatments is almost impossible hence reiki should act as a prevention and keep them in better health and balance.
All the children in their innocence and sweetness were very receptive to the energy. Aren’t we truly blessed to make a difference in their innocent lives?
