Lotus Healing Seva Groups 20 years of Seva Part 14 Sevas 57, 58 & 59

Seva No. 57

I received a call to help heal a cat, Cosmo, that had been through a very painful trauma. Hot oil had been poured on her back, she had infections, was rescued, placed in hospital and recovered. But the rescuer had her own 2 cats, Simba and Zoey, and of late the cats were not getting along, getting into fights, and had to be kept separated. The human, Deepmala was at her wits end, especially as she was soon going be travelling.

So LHSG members Monica Gokaldas, Harleen Gokaldas and I went to give Reiki to the cats, and to Deepmala and her househelp who looks after the cats superbly and the cats lover too.

The 2 cats Zoey and Simba didn’t take much healing, but Cosmo’s healing went on for about 15 minutes. Clearly, he needed emotional healing for the trauma he had gone thru, as well as the physical healing for the wounded areas, which were healed, but the skin was very delicate, not strong as normal.

Deepmala was very grateful and was very happy with the result of the Reiki on the cats, which she shares in a video taken by Monica.

With immense gratitude I share my experience of this seva.

I am not a great person with pets and wanted to challenge myself at least once, so I went along with Kamal. Harleen joined us as well.

It was lovely from the beginning to see the cute cats Simba and Zoey coming close and moving away from us, yet we continued to give them healing though they didn’t take much healing.

Cosmos on the other hand needed lot of healing and even though he wasn’t resting stable at one place we continued towards whichever direction he kept moving to. His skin, his Visudha (Throat) Chakra and front legs took a bit more healing than rest of the body.

Deepmala felt good with healing and relaxed after the healing as Cosmos continued to play around her when we gave healing to the helper Helen who had hidden grief and pains. She felt good with the healing too.

A very satisfying Seva.

Seva No. 58

On 18th April, LHSG Kenya Member Prafulla Ganatra and I went to give Reiki to a patient K in a hospital. He had been admitted with Kidney failure. We gave him full body Reiki. As expected, his kidneys took a lot, but we also noticed his vision was vey poor, so we focused on the eyes as wel. We also gave Reiki to his wife carer.

He was very very happy to receive the healing, and we felt immense gratitude to be able to share our love and light with such a receptive healee.

I went the next day as well, and learned that following a fall a few days ago, he was unable to stand, had fractured his femur, and had undergone a surgery. So he received healing there as well.

Seva no. 59

A few days later, I went to give hands on Reiki to the father of LHSG Member Kunal Daiya. He had been suffering from chronic asthma. Both Kunal and I gave him Reiki and also to his mother who has severe hearing loss. Later Kunal accompanied me to the hospital to give Reiki to patient K again. He was much improved, and welcomed our healing again!

Seva No 53

26th March 2025

LHSG Kenya Members Karima Jiwa, Shariffa Keshavjee, Deepu Mahajan, and I Kamal Tolia had a unique opportunity to give Reiki to the voiceless ones. Shruti Chohan, rescues animals that have been abandoned, abused or neglected, and gives them love and physical and emotional healing in her home. It is to her house that we went to do our seva.

It was an out of the world seva! In the 2 hours we were there, we gave Reiki to 5 cats, 1 dog, 2 turtles, 2 love birds and 2 african grey parrots. All these animals had been requested distant healing for by our India member Nisha Jikadara. It was so fulfilling to give them Reiki at close range.

We also gave hands on healing to Shruti. I have renamed Shrutis Home as Shruti Chohan’s Animal Rescue Centre!

Please read on for our reports and please fo watch the video that follows.

Bhanuben and I, Bena went to give healing to Rekhaben who lives in warden housing. She has a lot of health issues which became worse after her visit to india a few weeks ago when she caught pneumonia and was in icu for 21 days. She was very emotional and traumatized. She was overwhelmed when I rang her and offered her hands on healing. She was very generous with her donation to the group as energy exchange. We will be going again next week.

Bhanuben also gave healing to Indira Virani. She is also living in warden housing. She has no sensation below her knees and has balance issues.

Faraja Reiki Level 1 training camp.

Date : 27/03/25

Place : Faraja Cancer Support Centre

Volunteers: LHSG Kenya members Monica, Pratima, Shariffa.

We had a Reiki Level 1 Training camp at Faraja where 15 people benefited from the training.

Most people were punctual in arriving and we started talking about Reiki as we waited for a few others to reach. The entire lot was a brilliant group with keen interest in Reiki and they had beautiful experiences following the attunement and the actual Reiki practice. They had interesting questions as well and that interactive atmosphere kept everyone engaged till the end.

One of the learners had come all the way from Machakos as I had promised to invite her for this camp during her attendance at last year’s Ho’oponopono workshop at Faraja.

Pratima was quite helpful with guiding them through the Reiki hand positions and also spoke about the Five Principles of Reiki. Shariffa handled the registration, guided people on and off, answered questions and clicked pictures. My gratitude to both of them for all their support.

Faraja were very organized and served a nice light lunch of sandwiches and bananas along with Tea. LHSG sponsored Haandvo ( savory cake) which is popular with Faraja staff as well.

Nearly everyone expressed interest in learning level 2 and Ho’oponopono so Pratima very kindly noted down their names.

My immense gratitude at being able to conduct this camp as part of my seva towards our 20th anniversary.

Love and Light

Lotus Healing Seva Group 20 years of Reiki Seva: Part 10

Seva No. 50!!

On 22nd March, Kenya Members Pratima, Bhavna, Anuradha, Fhanreet and I went to an old people’s home called ‘Ashram’ in Nairobi.

All six residents were men. Some have been there for many years. Most of them were non-communicative. A couple were even, unknowingly, verbally aggressive. But their settling down as the healing continued, was palpable.

We also gave Reiki to the senior resident ‘caretaker of sorts’ Ombatti, who is elderly herself,  the cook cum-manager Nutan, and the cleaner Charles Ndeti. When we had finished, a regular donor came, i asked him if he would like Reiki, he said yes, so we gave him Reiki as well!

Cakes, dhokla and kheer were donated to them

The rest of the report comes in pictures and videos.

Seva No. 51!!

28th March 2025. Across the Indian Ocean, in India, a few LHSG India members, Hindu Refugee children in the Adarsh Nagar Refugee Camp in Delhi, heard mewing coming from a rubbish dump, that was being collected by a garbage truck in their area. On looking closer, they found this tiny baby kitten, with his eyes shut tight! So the three sisters, Nandini, Aishwarya, and Anmol brought it home. And you guess what they did after that, right? Not only did they feed him milk with a dropper, they blessed him with Reiki many times a day! And soon they were joined by the other LHSG Reiki children members in the camp!

Do watch the video below which shows it all!
