REIKI Attracts Animals                                          

A trip to Fairmont Mount Kenya Resort for a relaxed weekend turned out to be a healing experience for me from 11^th to 13^th January this year. My husband and I reached the Hotel and as we sat in the garden facing the swimming pool enjoying the cool breeze I saw a flock of very graceful Egyptian Geese making their way to the poolside. They were very orderly in their movement following each other, when I noticed that three of them changed direction and moved in another direction as if they wanted to be noticed. At closer inspection I realized that two to the geese were sheltering the middle one from both ends as it was limping.

The healer in me had arisen and I went closer to give distance Reiki Healing to the injured goose. Gradually they moved away and I returned. After another half an hour the same goose that was limping caught my attention again and I gave it healing once again, this time moving behind it as it moved ahead. Although it was difficult to know how much it benefitted but I felt great at doing this silent seva for a silent bird.

Later the same day I came across an Ostrich whose right foot had been caught in a snare and it had been limping since then. When I started giving reiki, the Ostrich stood silently accepting it gracefully and once I was done with the healing I fed it with some leaves which the ranger shared with me. I moved ahead thanking the Ostrich for giving me this seva opportunity.

It was later that we went to see the Cheetahs in their dens that I noticed one male Cheetah kept looking at me. I instantly knew the reason, and started giving reiki healing to the Cheetah. He continued to receive the healing, standing in the same position, looking up in my eyes and this continued for about seven minutes.

The next day we went for a game drive to the OlPajeta   where we also visited the Chimpanzee trail. There one of the chimpanzees also caught my fancy as if it was silently calling out for the healing. He kept looking at me as I looked at him. Although I don’t remember its name I was told that he was one of the old male chimps in the park.  Started giving him healing and he continued looking into my eyes, occasionally giving a nod as if he approved of the energy.

I am well aware I wont be able to check on them or know their condition, but I am glad that these beings of God considered me worthy of doing seva for them.

The new year 2019 brought new opportunities for Lotus Healing Group. We were asked to train young children in Std 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Dada’s Primary School in Thika, by the school’s Director Geneveva Shichehi Shivalu.

Seeing that the number of children would be close to 200, we decided it would be wiser to teach them in their own classrooms, rather than in the courtyard as one group.

And so it is that LHSG Sevaks Monica Gokaldas, Punita Acharya, Mamta Advani, Shalini Srivastava, Laveena Keswani, Pratima Dutt, Cooky Vora, Bhavna Baga, Shariffa Keshavjee, Neena Sehgal and Nalina Rupani and I, Kamal Tolia set out in the morning of 31^st January for Thika.  

We arrived there by 10.30 and immediately set about teaching. Monica, Punita, Mamta and I each took a class, and assisted by the other sevaks, took the children through the history of Reiki, the chakra positions, the attunement and then self -healing. Lunch followed (which had been sponsored by LHSG), after which they did partner healing for each other.

We ended the session by giving them milk and biscuits, which they loved!

This was our first Reiki camp of this year, in which we trained 190 children and teachers to Reiki Level 1. They were all quick learners, and they loved the new found energy and promised to heal themselves every day and heal their family members, neighbours, etc.

LHSG gives its gratitude to the Chairlady and Director Geneveva Shichehi Shivalu, who made this training possible. She was involved in every stage of the planning leading to a very successful Reiki camp. We would also like to give our gratitude to Mr. Nitin Shah, who is the main donor for the school and who kindly gave us permission to conduct the Reiki training there.

The experience was very fulfilling as we ventured into this new area of teaching various groups in different classrooms. I had wondered if I can reach out to about 50 children at a given time but as it turned out- 65 students in my class and I didn’t blink an eye about it. The students though quite young were excellent learners and good healers too. Looking at their humble means I felt very proud of them as I felt it was a learning for me, the way they were so positive. I felt they were very cramped being four of them on each desk but they said they were fine that way. I salute the spirit and positive outlook to life these children and their teachers display. My gratitude for this seva opportunity.
