Lotus Healing Seva Group : 20 Years of Reiki Sevas Part 6

On 18th February 2025, I finished teaching Reiki Level 2 to the two nurse aides Florence and Grace. It was done at my home, over two 2.5 hours sessions

Sharing here their experiences with practicing Reiki 1, how their Reiki Level 2 attunement was and their experiences when doing the Reiki level 2 exercises, especially healing of the souls.

They were bowled over with the power of Group healing, and were very happy to receive the certificates.

This is our 20th Anniversary Seva No. 40!

Please do watch the short video below.

Lotus Healing Seva Group 20 years of Reiki Seva: Part 5

LHSG Founder Member Monica Gokaldas carried out a Reiki Level 1 Training for 23 girls of the Hawkers Market Girls Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. She was assisted in this seva by Kenya Members Shariffa Keshavjee (founder of HMGC) and Pratima Parihar.

Kindly read on for Monica’s account of this seva event. And do watch the slide show and video, which shows the very clever questions asked by the girls … a very switched on lot they were!

This is our Seva No. 39!!

On 13th February, we had a Reiki level 1 Training camp for 23 girls of the Hawkers Market Girls Centre. This lot of girls was very well educated, and they understood everything very well. Some had questions and I tried answering to the best of my ability. The initial diya (lamp) lighting was done by the youngest person in the room, as we, Pratima and I did our LHSG prayers following which I explained a bit of what our prayers meant.

They all loved the attunement and spoke nicely about it, though many of them were hesitant to let us record. So we recorded only those who were comfortable with the camera.

The self-healing as well as the partner healing went well and we had some positive effects of headache, joint pain getting healed. They all unanimously said they loved both, giving and receiving Reiki, and are eager to practice on others. Shariffaji and Pratima added to the teaching in between and they both were very helpful. LHSG Member Isabella (HMGC Manager)  was also well organized on her part.

I felt that by doing this seva, I have invoked the blessings of yesterday’s Magh Punam Mahakumbh Snan, and I feel happy to have introduced Reiki to these young women. Thank you Shariffaji for giving me this opportunity.

Love and Light to all

Lotus Healing Seva Group : 20 Years of Reiki Sevas Part 4

From Kenya to UK to India, our Reiki healing Sevas continue!

Seva 33 Nairobi, Kenya

Monica, LHSG Founder Member:

I visited a past LHSG member, 90 years old, whose neuro disorder PSP condition was deteriorating. She is now on bed, unable to eat orally and cannot talk. It was painful to see the once active woman go down like this. I gave her hands on healing and she reacted well, to the family’s surprise. Her son told me there is no movement in her body and at that, she immediately moved her legs! I kept talking to her while giving Reiki, but wasn’t sure if she was understanding anything, as she kept looking at me. I told her, if she can hear me, and was happy with me giving her Reiki, she should tell me by blinking her eyes. She blinked! And moved her legs and tried to move her one arm slightly. I reminded her that she had learnt Reiki and Ho’oponopono, and she blinked again. Then I started doing Ho’oponopono loudly with her and she had tears in her eyes. I told her she will be free from her suffering soon and I will visit her again to give her healing and she closed her eyes felt assured. Later, her son told me he has been trying to move her limbs for her, and was pleasantly surprised at her progress. I am so grateful that I could help ease someone’s pain a little bit and give comfort.

Seva 34 London, UK

Bijan Popat:

This is my pet dog, Akela Popat, who I have had since five years. He has taught me unconditional Love! When giving healing to Akela, I intended that it reaches all dogs in the Universe too!

Seva 35 Nairobi, Kenya

Bubbles and Deepu:

Giving Reiki to an elderly 84 year-old lady suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other old age issues. In the 10 minutes session, they both held her hands lovingly and let the Reiki flow as they lovingly chatted with her in soft voices. Bubbles: it was a privilege to give a little comfort to her. Deepu: it was heartening to be able to do this seva.

Seva 36 Naivasha, Kenya

Monica, LHSG Founder Member

I was in Naivasha for a wedding and being with nature was a great opportunity for seva. Doing healing and forgiveness with the plants, with Mother Nature and all the plants in the world. I hugged the trees as well and gave my thanks to them for their being. It felt very humbling and satisfying. Healing the waters of the world at Lake Naivasha and then healing the birds, the mountains and the trees. Since Laveena and Mamta were also attending the same wedding- after the wedding ceremony I invited them to join me for a group healing and it was a non-stop healing. We left this healing of the flora and fauna open ended as it was time for us to return back to Nairobi. I felt a deep sense of gratitude to do this healing.

Seva 37, Mukuru, Nairobi, Kenya

Our LHS(Y)G youth group member children of Mukuru Outreach Kenya Academy Reiki bless and water their three plants which they planted the LHSG Reiki way, in November last year. The watering is accompanied by the chanting of Om Shanti ….

Seva 38 Delhi, India

The baby calf was feeling very cold. Our LHS(Y)G Youth group members, Hindu refugee children in a refugee camp in Delhi, give Reiki to this calf and her mother. But they did more than that before. The calf had fallen in a ditch and couldn’t get out, the girls took her out, took her home, gave it milk, kept it warm, gave it Reiki, after which she could stand and walk, and they took it back to the Mum! These refugee children who don’t have much in material wealth, show us how rich they are in sharing their love and light!

So many stories of compassion!

So many hands that gave!

More next week!

Lotus Healing Seva Group : 20 years of Reiki Sevas! Part 3

Our 20th year of celebration continues to be busy, with sevas done in these countries: India, South Africa, UK and Kenya!

Seva 27. Nairobi, Kenya: Grief Trauma healing was done by members Pratima and Kamal (had to wear masks because the family had bad cold viruses) for a family in Kenya that had lost a loved one. One little child had been in shock and was not eating. 5 members of the family plus two househelps received hands on Reiki. All this was done to a back ground of shrill whistling of 2 pet African Grey Parrots in a huge cage! So we blessed them too with Reiki. They sat perfectly still, on their perches, in a perfect receiving mode!

We followed this with Ho’oponopono between them all and departed member. Lastly, we explained the Nirvana Shatakam to them and we all sang it for the ‘mukti’ of his soul. We were then asked to send distant grief healing to another member who was at work and another in Australia. We did that.

A Reiki healing was needed; and we were able to do it. We felt we were in perfect flow, at the right time, in the right place, for the right reason. . . .
