On 28th April 2016, Lotus Healing Seva Group held 2 simultaneous Reiki training camps for the girls of Talia Agler Girls Shelter in Wangige, Nairobi. Twelve girls and the social worker Margaret who had done Reiki level 1 a few months back were trained in Reiki level 2, while 16 new girls at the shelter and their teacher and assistant teacher were trained in Reiki level 1.
The shelter houses girls aged 8 – 20 years that have been exploited, abused, abandoned and trafficked. Through Reiki, it is LHSG’s mission to help these girls heal from their physical, mental and emotional traumas.
Please read on for the write ups of Mamta who conducted the Reiki level 2 camp and of Punita who conducted the Reiki level 1 camp ….

Our Reiki camp at TAGS was a lovely experience!
We had 18 girls for level 1 and 12 girls for level 2! They were very enthusiastically waiting for us. We were 6 volunteers Punita ,Nuri, Neena , Jean , Dee and me.
I found the girls totally dedicated and it was lovely to see how they managed to do everything even as some of them would rush out to change their babies quickly or even bring them in and feed them so that they would not miss out on anything! One girl did the entire level 2-self healing and distant healing with one hand as she held her baby with the other hand throughout ! !
The girls were extremely happy to learn Reiki 2 and even wanted to do level 3!
I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to do this sewa and touch their lives in some little way !
The biggest joy I feel is that these girls have changed drastically from being quiet and withdrawn to confident and happy since Reiki came into their lives! The most amazing thing is that they reached out to the new girls by giving them Reiki treatments to help them feel better! They are really true healers!

On 28th of April 2016 LHSG went to the Talia Agler Girls shelter to teach 16 students and 2 teachers Reiki level 1. Our group leader Mrs Kamal Tolia had appointed me to teach this group. This was my first time to teach.
The girls were very receptive. They were between the age group of 9-16. In order to break the ice, I asked them if they knew how Reiki would help them in their lives. And these were the answers I got……
*It helps you to heal yourself
*it helps you stay calm
*it can heal your family member who are sick
* it helps you relax
* it helps you to sleep better
At this point, I had a jaw-dropping moment! I was so impressed with all these young girls.
I attuned them and they were not at all restless or fidgity. I went on to teach them and their concentration span was so good that nothing had to be repeated twice.
When it came to self healing they were doing it so well, but partner healing impressed me the most. Not once did I tell them what to do next………kudos to these enthusiastic healers.
When I started teaching the 5 principles they was just being recited without even a glance at the paper. Another Wow moment for me!
I felt so blessed attuning these lovely souls and my heart was filled with Gratitude, that I could empower these young girls!
Last but not least I couldn’t have done it without my colleague Nuri with whom I had the perfect team play.
Lots of love and light
