The Silent Sevaks of LHSG

By Sikiladi

While the world is gripped by fear, illness, frustration and uncertainty of sorts, the group of reiki healers of LHSG  have been carrying on with their seva spirit – silently, from the comfort and safety of their own homes and making a difference by bringing solace to the hurting hearts of many.  As the Covid 19 kept spreading its ugly tentacles the compassionate hearts of these healers couldn’t sit silently doing nothing about it.

Grief Trauma Healing                                             

LHSG members since April this year started giving distant reiki healing to several families affected by deaths. The lockdowns and travel restrictions coupled with safety concerns have prevented family members to be together in times of grief hence causing distress, guilt and trauma. With Reiki healing for a fixed number of days coming from the healing group has eased the situation of several families not only in Kenya but in various countries such as UAE, India, U.K.,U.S.A to name a few. This dedicated silent seva has brought in immense acceptance and helped people move on and received lot of positive feedback from many.

Faraja, Elderly and Covid 19

Under the guidance of Kamal Tolia, the group members all over the world have united their energies as always and have continued with their reiki seva uninterrupted having changed the modus operandi to distant healing when it comes to their weekly therapy sessions for a few Homes for Elderly, cancer patients attached to Faraja with an added on responsibility of sending healing energies to the Covid patients as per the innumerable requests pouring in each day. Members dedicate their time and healing energy voluntarily for those in need of their services in their own quietude.
