The Reiki II camp for the Mukuru Outreach Centre was held on 21st June 2017. Assisting me was our ever efficient  Rashmeen. The 10 participants that confirmed to attend, turned out to be 7 as 2 ladies got late very late and missed their bus. One of them actually showed up later when we were having lunch. Unfortunately this was too late for me to accommodate her. Along with this group, Elaben, the lady who prepared our lunches for all our camps, was able to join us.

It was wonderful to meet up with everyone again. When asked to share experiences after Reiki I, Mercy shared that her headaches that she used to experience frequently were now a thing of the past as she healed herself with Reiki everyday.  Hasborne, another participant, also shared that he was able to relief his wife’s stomach aches with Reiki. Very encouraging experiences.

As we started off learning the symbols, everyone patiently and meticulously drew the symbols and recited them over and over. I noticed that they were able to grasp the drawing and the reciting rather quickly.

Attunement went smoothly and then was followed by self healing and lunch break. As always, everyone enjoyed the vegetable burgers and milk.

The second half of the camp started off well with the participants enthusiastically learning the various methods of distance healing. The “Reiki box” exercise was particularly exciting to them. They were thrilled to be able to give healing to numerous intentions quickly and efficiently.

I was happy to see how keenly everyone paid attention to all the instructions. With minimum difficulty everyone understood the various aspects of distance healing methods. After distributing their certificates, we ended our session by 3pm.

My immense gratitude to Rashmeen for assisting remarkably. Gratitude also to Shariffaji, for providing the venue and Isabel, for preparing the room and opening and closing promptly. Gratitude to my Lotus family for all their best wishes and last but not least, my deep gratitude to Reiki and the universe for this beautiful seva opportunity.

This was our 3^rd visit to the Nymba wa Mzee in Kasarani this year. We had been in February, March, and now on May 31^st.

The LHSG Sevaks for this Seva were Bubbles, Pratima, Neena, Cooky, Punita, Mamta, Monica, Grace, Shariffa, and Bhanu from LHSG UK, who was in Nairobi at that time.

We have been requested to come again, as the residents of the Home love our Reiki Healing Touch. This holds true for the sisters, the workers, and aspirants too.

So Lotus Healing Seva Group will be doing seva every month at this place from now on.

From the accounts of Mamta, Punita and Monica below, it is clear,  indeed, that Reiki is much appreciated and very welcome at this Home!

Please also watch the photos that follow, which say it all!

At the Nyumba ya waze gratitude was just pouring out from the old people in the form of blessings to each and every one of us. They were so ready to receive Reiki from us that they all were ready before we reached there. Ready praying first. Then ready to receive Reiki. The Sister’s organization was so perfect. Everything was looked into before our arrival. While we were there everything worked like clockwork. It was a day when I just felt so touched every time I could bring a smile on those innocent faces.

Interaction with the Aged

The visit to the home turns me emotional each time as I feel I reconnect with my ancestors by meeting the elderly. This visit in May was good as they all awaited us eagerly. In a few months they have understood and appreciated the way Reiki is helping them. The initial resistance shown by some of the elderly a few months ago has faded away and they all enjoyed the session.

Despite the language barrier, they tried explaining their demand for healing at certain parts of their bodies as they now knew that the Reiki has been helping them heal. One gentleman that I was attending to, turned sideways to enable me give reiki to his back that has hurting him even before I could request him to do so. He then sat through patiently while I gave reiki and did the spine balancing and refused to go out to meet his visitors until I had finished giving him the healing.  This positive response and acceptance speaks volumes of the difference Reiki and our human interaction has made to them. I am very grateful for such seva opportunities.

Love and Light

The Old Home Sewa today moved us deeply! I felt that Reiki is such a beautiful way to reach out -as the true “human touch ” !

Every heart cries out to be loved and the old people were perfect examples of this!

The elderly were receiving the healing very sweetly .They would take my hands and place them on different parts of their body to show where the pain is.

They appeared like little babies soaking in the love and light showered on them!

The Reiki I camp today 24^th May, 2017, at the HMGC classroom for the 11 Mukuru computer/tailoring students went well and smoothly.

The group of young adults of 2 men and 9 women were curious and eager to learn the know how of Reiki principles and hands on method of giving Reiki. Rashmeen, who assisted me, was able to join me in attuning the group successfully.

While partner healing was going on, one of the girls, Bridget, who was giving healing, experienced a sudden onset of dizziness followed by a severe headache. I immediately had her sit down and started giving her Reiki on her head. I noticed with her headache, Bridget was also hyperventilating. As Rashmeen gave her some water and sugar, she relayed that she gets these headaches frequently due to low blood pressure. After giving her Reiki healing for about 10 – 15 minutes she experienced significant reduction in pain and was also breathing more comfortably.

When we had our questions and answers session at the end, Bridget was able to tell us how Reiki helped her so quickly because she normally took about an hour to recover. This first hand experience tremendously demonstrated the power of Reiki to the others. The credibility of Reiki was reinforced. We were able to discuss the merits of Reiki in different situations.

Once all questions were answered, we ended the session at 3pm. My gratitude to Shariffaji for giving us the venue; Matrene for taking care of all our needs; Neena for the yummy lunch she provided; Rashmeen for her valuable support and feedback in assisting and last but not least, to my Lotus family for all  your blessings and best wishes.
