Seva: Healing Lake Toronto and Remembrance Day in the month of Nov. 2011

By Priya Betala  LHSG (Mini Group)

Well I decided I would heal for 15 minutes every Saturday of November.

1. Waters
2. Remembrance Day falling on November 11 a day that marks the anniversary of the official end of the World War I hostilities.  In memory of all Remembrance Day commemorates those who died in armed conflicts, particularly in and since World War I.

It was a feeling of satisfaction to heal all those who died not in World War I but any war or any country where people lost lives fighting to give future generations a better world. And the Reiki flowed through beautifully.

I somewhere feel they are just like us healers who had same intention to make world a better place. It felt so good that though we are in December and our anniversary month is over but I feel good to continue this one.

Again it was wonderful experience healing the waters and adding to Lake Ontario. I did this last year too but that was distant and so was it going to be this year, but your email to try healing bottle of water and adding it to Lake Ontario was  a good idea.

If we could add this intention in our weekly list of ‘healing all those souls who died in armed conflict for justice be healed with love from those who bear the fruits of their sacrifice’ it would be a great Seva.

Seva: Reiki healing to the East River, New York, Nov, 2011

By Rashmi Thakar (LHSG Mini Group)

I gave healing to the East River which is a river near my house once a week for 4 weeks in the month of November. I filled a bottle with water from the tap and then went to the River and gave it healing.

I started to do it around 4:30pm and I took the bottle in my hand and gave it Reiki. I drew the symbols on the bottle and on the river and wished it all the positive thoughts such as LOVE, good health, forgiveness and happiness and that it heals and gives positive energy to the people who live around the river and that it stays calm and not increase during bad weather and that it helps the people and not be destructive during weather storms like when we had the hurricane Irene and to give good vibrations to all the rivers that are connected to it. The river connects to the Hudson River and then to the Atlantic Ocean.

When I gave the healing I felt a sense of peace and felt it took a lot of energy. The Reiki went on and would not stop. So after 10 minutes or so I ended it by giving it continuous healing. I finally poured the water into the river chanting “AUM” several times. The water was normally calm after I did this.

Love and Light to all.

Seva: Healing the Arabian Sea, Healing and feeding the poor, and Distant healing, in Nov. 2011

By Kamini LHSG India

I would like to share all that I did this November to celebrate the 6th anniversary of LHSG. In our busy lives we forget to do Seva. It is this Seva that awakens our faith in the good, and brings Ishwara into our daily life.

With great joy I did Reiki for the waters of the earth. Living near the ocean was very advantageous. Every day for 9days a bootle of the Arabian Sea water was collected by my cooks daughter  and brought home to me. I would give Reiki to it saying mantras (this is my normal way of doing Reiki). Then in the evening, the water was poured back into the ocean. The whole process was repeated the next day. The thoughts that crossed my mind were: 1) I wish that I could gather all the waters and give Reiki to them 2) My mind would be full of hope 3) At times I was floating in a Reiki ocean 4) Through the waters I felt connected to the whole world, that is, a sense of Oneness.

Next I went to a Sai Baba Mandir and fed the poor. First I gave Reiki with mantras to the food and then gave it to the poor. While they were eating I gave them Reiki, at the same time thanking the Lord for giving me the opportunity to do this Seva.

Thirdly I requested the wife of a sick neighbour if I could send him Reiki. Five to six years ago, this same person had refused to take Reiki but this time he readily agreed. (The distance form was used). The first 2days when I gave Reiki the person was lying down, then the next 2days he would come sitting in bed later he came sitting in a chair and on the 6and 7th day he would get up and walk away after the reiki was finished. I take that as a sign that God was telling me that he is healing well.

Lastly (when I finished 8days of Reiki to my neighbour) on the 9th day, I bathed, prepared a sweet as prasad and sat down for my Reiki. When I finished I shared the sweet with as many people as I could. This again invoked a happy joyous feeling of Oneness.

Thank you, Love and Light to all.

Seva: Healing members of the public in London, 13 Nov 2011

By Mala Tolia LHSG UK

With all the LHSG Anniversary celebrations happening internationally, we, in the UK were scratching our heads and thinking how we could contribute!

Several attempts later, along came an unexpected opportunity to do Seva; Anita Raj (LHSG UK) had a telephone call from the Oshwal Community UK to invite us to participate at The Hook House in Potters Bar on 13/11/11 where they were holding a Health Awareness Fayre.

Last year, during one of Kamal Tolia’s visits to the UK ,when she created exposure for us we had participated at a similar event .

So, on 13/11/11, we set off full of excitement and anticipation on a bright and very sunny (very British) morning: Bena Shah (our leader), Neha Mamtora, Bijan Popat and Mala Tolia.

Upon our arrival to the venue, we were amazed at how well organised everything was! They had the Fayre open on two floors: the first floor for stalls such as Mental health organisations, Cancer Research organisatons, Hospices and Hospitals. The ground floor was dedicated to Doctors, Consultants, Opticians and Dentists. Here they were carrying out health checks from Asthma to Tumours! You name it, they were testing for it!!
We had been given a ‘stall’ on the stage on the first floor; it was a large cubicle with several chairs and a background of beautiful bandhnis in relaxing colours to create a calm quiet ambience and very private.

Next to our cubicle were placed stalls for Pranic healing, Reflexology and Indian Head Massage. The atmosphere, even at 10am was electric in the entire Hall! The entire place was packed early on a Sunday!

We had been allocated two volunteers to look after us -the healers-and they made sure we had everything we needed; they were at our beck and call, literally. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable.

Our first thoughts, in spite of the warm welcome were, ‘how will the public find us?’ Though we had a prominent position on the stage and of course we had our LHSG banner screaming our presence for all to see!, we were ‘tucked away’ to give us and our clients the quiet and privacy required.

We were then told that the Committee had set up a table at the heart of the hall where people would register to have the treatment and pay £5.00, they would then come to us with their receipt be seen. This worked really well as the clients were paced out and kept coming through in an orderly fashion.

Savita Karekar and Bhavna Dewji joined us to assist in the healing as did Chandan, one of the Oshwal volunteers who has done Reiki level 3; all were a great help especially after Chandan had been initiated in our LHSG healing protocol by Bena.

Our clients varied from people just wanting healing for peace and relaxation to suffering from cancer. Some were exposed to Reiki for the first time and found it very relaxing.
Bena Shah was approached by a couple of group leaders from other organisations who would like us to commit to dates in the new year to give healing to the elderly group etc. again great exposure and opportunity to do more Seva.

My highlight was making a breakthrough to St Luke’s Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Research. We have been trying for a while to get approval from such organisations to allow us to heal their patients but not had any success due to the tight laws and legalities in this country.

In the new year, we will be able to give healing to focus groups locally to Cancer research, Mencap- organisation for the mentally ill-and the Hospice.

So, all in all, it was a very rewarding day; we gave healing to some 45 people and raised £225, half of it was given to the Oshwal Centre, as previously agreed, so LHSG collected £122.50 after Savita’s husband donated £10.

We all felt very elated and satisfyingly tired at the end of the day. Job Satisfaction knew no limits!!!!

Bijan said she felt she was very privileged to be a part of something that made a difference to people’s lives. Neha felt it was an altogether humbling experience as all her clients were glowing after treatments from her!! Bhavna Dewji said she couldn’t believe the vibrational energy that was going through her and into her clients, who also felt it!!
We can’t wait to do more of this in the New Year and expand the group’s personna at the same time.
