Lotus Healing Seva Group (Kenya) brightened up the life of the inmates of the old peoples’ home in the Runda suburb of Nairobi, just before Christmas 2010.
Goods worth Sh 15 000/= were donated. LHSG (sat) member Dipti Shah and new Saturday member Zabeen Khan very kindly gave up their Sunday morning to deliver the following items to the home:
10 plastic / rubber sheets (mattress protectors), 20 pairs of shoes (much needed by the people), some Omo detergent powder, bars of soap, and some salt.
Needless to say, the old people were very happy and grateful to receive the items and they blessed LHSG many times!
The Lotus Healing Seva Group UK, decided to do Reiki Seva on 21st November, which is also UK’s International Sewa Day. It also happened to be Kartik Poonam, a special day for the Jains, who came to do prayers at the centre. The LHSG members offered Free Reiki Healings to them.
Mala Tolia was one of the members present at the centre. Here is her story:
The event was organised by Dipenbhai, Treasurer, Oshwal Association of the UK – North West Area
We were given two good sized rooms to heal in and a large foyer where we had put up posters and our LHSG banner.
Kartik poonam is a very important date for Jains and they held puja and bhajans at the Oshwa Centre on that Sunday: they had some 200 people participating in the puja that morning so we counted ourselves very fortunate for being invited to discuss healing, participate in the puja and heal the crowd.
We gave healing to about 80 people from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm. They were a mix of men and women, all over the age of 50: about 20 men and 60 women.
They all had different experiences ranging from feeling relaxed to aches and pains disappearing! There was one lady who saw lots of coloured lights after her healing session; one of the men had had a broken shoulder and he felt pain free for the first time in 3 months! A lot of the people felt very relaxed after their healing sessions with beautiful glowing faces quite apparent!
And what did the LHSG members feel? All felt they had a wonderfully productive day and I know that I felt a great sense of achievement and fulfillment at being able to be part of this seva. We all felt uplifted and buzzing with energy; sorry to see the last of the crowds when the day ended. We could have carried on for a lot longer but unfortunately the session had to be brought to an end as the Centre had to be prepared for another function.
The Lotus Healing Seva Group Kenya once again held a Seva event. The programme started at 10 am with Kamal Tolia presenting a Talk on Reiki and its benefits for all, those who are sick and those who are not.
Each member of the The Lotus Healing Seva Youth Group had been given a pair of plants of the same species, at the same stage of growth. For three months, one plant was given Reiki and watered with water charged with Reiki, while the other plant (the control) was not given Reiki and watered only with ordinary water. After three months, the results were there for all to see: the plants given Reiki and watered with Reiki water had grown bigger, had larger leaves or had more flowers, and in all cases, were definitely stronger and healthier showing that plants respond to the Life force of Reiki. The point here was that if the Life force of Reiki made living plants healthy, the same Life force of Reiki will make us living beings healthy. The Youth Group members proudly displayed their projects and answered questions from the audience about their experiments.
Next the LHSG members and the Youth members spread out into ‘the healing stations’ arranged by the Faraja Cancer Support staff and gave one on one hands on Free Reiki treatments to all who wanted to experience Reiki.
By 3.30pm, 45 people had been treated with Reiki. The effects reported by them were: more relaxed, pain gone, happier, stress gone ……. Etc.
Throughout the day, the activities of The Lotus Healing Seva Groups worldwide were displayed on the wall through an over head projector. People saw the Seva work done by our members ….. healing at the old peoples’ home in Nairobi, Healing patients in hospitals, Free Reiki Level 1 camps in Kenya, UK, UAE, giving Reiki to babies in orphanages, and to sick animals ………..
All members who participated in this seva felt great peace within themselves after doing this selfless service. We felt good at having spread the word of Reiki once again.
For the 4th year running, we conducted the annual Free Reiki Level 1 camp in Nairobi. The venue was the Shree Navnat Vanik Mahajan Hall on General Mathenge Drive.
More than 70 people, men, women and children came bright and early on the 14th morning, ready to welcome the beautiful energy of Reiki into their lives.
After hearing the history of Reiki, going through the Five Principles of Reiki, learning about the chakras and their positions on the body, they were ready to receive the attunement of the Reiki energy. All lay down on their mats on the floor and gently meditated. After the attunement was over, they had beautiful experiences to share: energy going up and down their body, a feeling of floating, warmth in their hands and in their body, seeing colours, an energy spiral around them ………. Next they did self Reiki and once again some were blessed with feeling the presence of their Guides!
After a light meal, they settled down to doing one on one Reiki and experienced the wonderful benefits of receiving a hands on full body healing.
Although the camp was free, energy exchange was made by donating for charity.
