Kamal Tolia & Lotus Healing Seva Group

Lotus Healing Seva Group is a group of worldwide Reiki healers with a mission to help all heal themselves and heal the world!

We have been engaged in this mission for many years, and November 2023 will see 18 years of this selfless giving by LHSG members. To mark this milestone, we will, as every year, apply ourselves to doing even more seva starting late September 2023 and continuing till early January 2024!

So here comes our seva No. 2. A Reiki level 1 training camp for 22 men and women, at the Hindu Council premises in Nairobi. As before, the training was done for 2.5 hours over 2 days, 16 and 23 September. All who learned were blown away by the new found healing power in their hands, and already reported very good changes in their chronic aches and pains, improved sleep, etc.

The training was conducted by me, Kamal Tolia, with the help of LHSG Kenya members Monica Gokaldas, Pratima Dutt, Karima Jiwa, Laxmi Velani, Pooja Patel, Sonal Patel, Bhavna Baga, Deepu Mahajan, and LHSG UK member Jashu Shah.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Sujata Kotumraju, Chairperson, The Hindu Council of Kenya, and Dr (Mrs) Shaina Shah, Capacity Building at The hindu Council of Kenya, Nairobi Chapter, for all their support in organizing this training. Lotus Healing Seva Group is very, very grateful for all their help, without which this event would not have been possible. Many thanks also go to Monica Gokaldas who liaised with them behind the scenes,to ensure the smooth running of the event

In November, LHSG will complete 18 years of Seva!

Our first seva to celebrate this milestone was teaching Reiki level 2 to the 7 ladies we had taught Reiki 1 at the Lohana Hindu Community Hall 1.5 months ago. They had been healing themselves regularly, healing others AND, doing healing seva for the elderly in their community.

They were very very enthusiastic to go on to the next level, so LHSG UK member Jashu Shah, LHSG Kenya members Prafulla Ganatra, LHSG Founder member Monica Gokaldas and I, Kamal Tolia, took them through the healing techniques of Reiki level 2. The training was done over 2.5 hours over 2 Wednesdays, 13 and 20 September. At the end of which, 7 new Reiki 2 healers became well versed in distant healing, healing the past, present, future, healing relationships, healing souls, healing our Earth, and healing intentions.

Many thanks to Bharatbhai Thaker, convener of Vraj Ganga section of the Lohana Community, for his support in allowing us to carry out the training at the Lohana Centre, and many thanks to Prafulla Ganatra for all the hard work she put in the organizing of the training.

Mikao Usui Sensei, the founder of Reiki was born on 15^th August 1865. Every year, members of Lotus Healing Seva Group celebrate his birth by meeting online, doing distant seva healing followed by a gratitude program.

This year was no different, as LHSG members from across USA, UK, Germany, UAE, India, Indonesia, Australia, Tanzania and Kenya got together to give their gratitude to Master Usui for giving us the gift of Reiki.

After the weekly order of healing was done, our Kenya member Enock Nyananga, Headteacher of Mukuru Outreach Academy gave a short report on how our more than 90 ‘Reiki’ children were doing with Reiki, as well as the trees planted the Reiki way. He was followed by our India Member Vikram Narain who in turn gave a report on how our Hindu refugee children were doing with Reiki and the trees planted the Reiki way in the Adarsh Nagar Hindu Refugee Camp in Delhi.

Next, Our LHSG UK group took the floor. LHSG UK in charge Bena Shah was the master of ceremonies of the program, which consisted of

1. Bhanu Shah and Mona Joshi expounding on the 5 principles of Reiki and how we can apply them in our everyday life
2. Bharti Nandy sharing how we honour Master Usui
3. Indira Shukla throwing light on the life of Master Usui
4. Mala Tolia reading out a beautiful Japanese Haiku poem as well as an English poem on Master Usui and Reiki
5. The finale came with Kumud Shirley Morton’s sweet obeisance Aarti to Master Usui in Gujarati, the wordings of which were put together by Jashu Shah and translated by Bena Shah.

And finally, another Aarti of gratitude followed, by me, Kamal Tolia, in English, with some Sanskrit / Hindi and a bit of Japanese.

Many many thanks to the more than 35 members who joined, and a special thanks to UAE in charge Kirtikala Kamdar for all the recordings!
