Reiki – An Introduction to Sikh Women

In the spirit of celebrating the 13^th Anniversary of our group LHSG we conducted an introductory session of Reiki to a group of women. The topic chosen was Reiki as Reiki is the heart and soul of Lotus Healing seva Group. The group of women we spoke to about were all from the Sikh community being members of the Sikh Women’s Society.

The mid morning session on Monday 24^th September was conducted at the premises of the Sikh Temple – Gurudwara Ramgharia, Pangani. It was attended by approximate 45 – 50 ladies. Despite the initial delay caused by the Ladies’ internal committee meeting seva spirit was unaffected and the event went off flawlessly having begun at 12.30.

I was given the task of speaking about Reiki and introducing the Healing properties of Reiki, its origin and various other aspects of Reiki. The ladies were very attentive and interactive. Some of them had several questions which I was able to answer well. While the talk was ongoing the sevaks of the day Pratima Dutt, Neena Sehgal, Karima Jiwa, Yatinder Mann and Shalini Shrivastava started off giving the ladies a sampler of Reiki Healing. The ladies were all very excited about experiencing this discipline of healing as they eagerly awaited their turn.

Soon I too joined the other healers and we were all very pleased with the effects the ladies were experiencing. Many of them had instant relief from aches and pains and stiffness of joints. The Vice Chairlady Mandeep Kenth who had initiated this event emphasized that most of the ladies needed healing for stress and we healers took a note of the same while giving healing.

Having given Reiki Therapy samplers to 31 women we were presented with a Certificate and a token of appreciation by the Chairlady Amarjeet Rayat and past Chairlady Joginder Sehmi which was followed by Lunch around 2pm.

No sooner had we finished the lunch those two elderly women who were left out and wanted to receive the healing charmed by the experience of others came to us and we gave them Reiki. We left the premises around 2.30pm satisfied that we had brought forth the knowledge about Reiki to yet another group of people.

Our 13^th Anniversary celebrations have kicked off in Kenya with our biggest Reiki training camp so far! It was also our 100th Reiki camp in Kenya!

One hundred and sixty children and teachers of Dada’s Community and Education Centre in the Dagoretti area of Nairobi made their way to the Shree Sanatan Dharma Sabha Hindu Temple Hall on Lower Kabete road on the morning of 7^th September. They were warmly received by members of Lotus Healing Seva Kenya Group. They were given a banana and seated in the hall.

What followed next was the usual training in Reiki …. The history of Reiki, introduction of chakras, the attunement, self-healing and partner healing, the five principles of Reiki, and the health benefits of Reiki.

All of them were amazed at the healing power in their hands! And all of them expressed gratitude for everything … the knowledge imparted to them, the lovely lunch of Rice, beans curry, puris and chips, the gift bags of juice, exercise books, and pencil to go home with, and above all they were very touched by the love and care shown by the Lotus Healing Seva Group members. This was expressed by the head teacher Evelyn Kwamboko and Jennifer who handles the affairs of Dada’s Education and Community Centre. It has been captured on video.

The sevaks that did this seva were: Monica Gokaldas, Mamta Advani, Amy Galland, Lata Kanj, Balvinder Dhadialla, Karima Jiwa, Anuradha Nath, Sheela shah, Anju Gupta, Nalina Rupani, Shalini Srivastava, Dhwani Haria, Pratima Dutt, Lavina Keswani, Shariffa Keshavji, and myself, Kamal Tolia

As always, we give our gratitude to God and the Universe for supporting us in our mission of enriching the world with more Reiki healers, in this case 160, who will heal themselves and others, and spread the Light by spreading the knowledge of Reiki!  

We also give thanks to the management and Directors of the Shree Sanatan Dharma Sabha Temple, for their generosity in giving us the use of their hall and other facilities.

The Mega Camp

Excitement was ripe in the air as we began our Seva celebrations for the 13th Anniversary on 7th September with a mega camp of Reiki Level 1 training for students of Dada’s Community and Education Centre.  The students were very well behaved and slightly shy in responding. They were very welcoming toward new knowledge being imparted and hardly had any questions.

This was our biggest ever camp where we trained 160 people of whom a few were teachers as well. It was a pleasant sight to see the children listen to the commands attentively as their focus made them grasp the Reiki movements from one chakra to another very quickly. They did a good job at doing partner healing as well though after the sumptuous lunch they appeared somewhat sleepy and tired.

The venue for the camp was the spacious Function Hall at the Shree Sanatan Dharam Sabha we had ease of spreading our respective groups of nearly 22 to 24 children while making them practice partner healing. The SSDS management were very cooperative of our requirements hence we were very comfortable conducting this camp.

Wow wow wow. What a landmark for us. Our 100th Kenyan seva camp. Totally grateful for being part of it. And what a camp it was. Our largest number of children to date and with the unexpected hitches one would have not considered. But as always, Reiki magic worked through all of us to bring out the best team spirit and team work that took care of all hitches. With Kamalji ‘s keen guidance, we breezed through the day, teaching, guiding, sharing the knowledge of Reiki 1 with the children. Lunch was also a smooth affair with total approval from everyone on the yummiest of the menu…..A*! Thank you Kamalji, my Lotus sisters and Reiki for making another seva camp a beautiful success

Reiki Camp

Life has such a rich texture as we see the children file out from their buses.

Their stories of single parents. One little boy Sebastian, separated from his Mother in Mombasa says ‘ I miss her so much, but I will see her in December? ‘

Our father does not live with us.

So here he is, looking for hope, and love a silver lining to his little cloud.

LHSG has given him awareness of his own healing energy. A gift for his life to unfold with hope and love.

What more can we give other than this unconditional reaching out to our other self in these dear faces.

Bravo LHSG and Kamalji

On 7 th September Reiki camp at SSDS temple was a wonderful experience. Because of the temple, vibrations were super positive. Kids were well mannered and receptive. Teachers were also co-operative. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to do seva for LHSG’s 100 th camp in Kenya. And look forward to do more seva. Thank you. Love and light
