Forgiveness Workshops

What does Forgiveness mean?
What does Letting Go mean?
Is it easy to forgive?
Is it easy to let go?
What does not letting go do to us?

Kamal Tolia held a number of talks and workshops on Forgiveness between March and May at her house, in Mamta Advani’s house and in Sylvie Campaigne’s beautiful Planet House hall. The audiences varied in age, from 10 to 70 + years.

At the beginning they were divided into groups. Each group was given questions to discuss. After 20 minutes, a representative from each group presented their collective answers. This was followed by Kamal expounding on the intricacies of forgiving at all levels of our personality and taking responsibility for our own happiness.

Many thanks to Mamta and Sylvie for the use of their places for these workshops.

Reiki Level 3A Camp

Posted on April 11, 2010 by Chetan Tolia

11 April 2010

Twenty three Reiki healers completed this level of Reiki. Once again, the camp was held at the Navnat Mahajan Hall in Nairobi.

The participants showed their commitment yet again by giving up their Sunday to further their journey in Reiki. They consisted of all ages, the youngest being 11 years old and the oldest 67 years old! One young lady had been up the whole night before in a go kart rally for charity, and still turned up bright and ready for the workshop at 9 am. Kudos to her for her determination!

Many were their healing experiences: sorting out issues at work, A Reiki Ball growing automatically between the hands and leaving to go to a passing lady who looked ill, a cancer patient who was healed of poor digestion completely! And many more ………..

All were attuned to the Symbols in the class. They had fun clearing each others’ auras ….. some were so enthusiastic that they accompanied the movements with audio effects!

The LHSG members that did seva on this day were: Punita, Tejal, Yatinder, and from the LHS(Y)G they were Karishma and Anoushka. Prafulla did seva for a couple of hours. Many thanks go to LHSG sevaks Ranjan, Hema, Harsha, and Naila who inspite of being students on that day, very willingly brought the tea and refreshments for all. And a very special thank you to Tejal’s mother and family for providing the sevaks with a lovely hot lunch for all our three Reiki camps!

Visit to Amani Ya Juu

Posted on March 15, 2010 by Chetan Tolia

Amani Ya Juu is Kiswahili for ‘Peace from Above’
This is an organization that employs women from the slums in Kenya to make beaded jewellery and stitch beautiful aprons, bags, oven gloves and the like. Some of them were refugees from neighboring countries: Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and even Ruanda. The proceeds collected from the sale of these articles are used to pay the women employees’ salaries and run the organization.

On 15th March, on behalf of LHSG, 6 members: Angela, Ayala, Nalina, Monica, Punita and Kamal donated 80 umbrellas and blankets to the women workers. These were timely gifts, as the rains had started and the weather had started to turn cold. The women were extremely grateful. They gave us a lovely welcome, even sang some lovely gratitude songs. We were moved by their warmth and humbled by their contentment and absolute belief in God despite their hardships.
