Blessing the trees with Reiki
LHSG’s 21st Anniversary Seva Number 3
Seva No. 3: October 4, 2026,
As LHSG founder member Monica Gokaldas and LHSG member Harleen Gokaldas walk in Arboretum, a leafy walking plot in the middle of Nairobi, they hugged and Reiki blessed the trees, connected with Van Devi, the Goddess of the Forests, and taking her blessings, created the Energy circuit between themselves and the trees, and did Ho’oponopono with the less healthy trees.

Reiki Greetings to all 
Sunday October 4th I accompanied my daughters to the Nairobi Arboretum for a walk. Once amidst nature healing just becomes part of any activity and so did it happen with me too.
During the walk I stopped by at several places and gave reiki to the trees and hugged them but then I realized that my daughters were walking much ahead of me so I decided not to stop and just did a “ reiki healing while walking “ by turning myself into a ‘walking healer’ 
When we reached an area of pine trees we decided to stop for a bit and I decided to ‘connect with Vandevi’, invoke her blessings and become part of the trees ‘Energy Circuit’ by touching the roots and then touching the trunk and felt beautiful vibrations. My daughters Bhavna ( not a reiki healer) and Harleen (LHSG member) also learnt to call upon Vandevi, become part of the energy circuit and to do Ho’oponopono with the trees. Harleen had previously done this exercise with Kamal ji last year at Karura Forest so she had some idea about this activity.
I also did Ho’oponopono with the trees , particularly the ones that appeared to be drying. It was a very fulfilling and gratifying experience.
I felt that after invoking Vandevi’s ( Goddess of forests) blessings my connection with the trees turned stronger and when I hugged the pine trees I could hear soothing sounds in my ears as if they were vibrating their mantras into me. It felt very gratifying and I felt blessed for this opportunity.
Love and Light
Monica Gokaldas
