A ball at Buhimba Camp!

Our saturday afternoon was spent at Buhimba refugee camp.
Once again we were given a very warm welcome by everybody. We introduced ourselves to assistants in the camp and explained that we would like to meet with women who have suffered sexual violence. Approximately 10 women came with us as we made our way to a sheltered area where there were a few benches. As minutes passed by more and more women gathered. Our very skilled interpreter, Haitian, began introducing us to the group and explained our intention to say prayers with and for them.
We connected with the energy of the women and began selecting the healing prayers. I counted roughly 35 women at the beginning and what seemed like a few moments later, Kristen and I looked around and we saw what must be close to a 100 women some of whom with their young babies. We were astonished at the number.
Haitian gave the women wonderful, elaborate translations of the healing prayers we offered. Later that day he said that he found himself saying things but didn't know where the words came from, as if there 'was a spirit inside of me'. It is clear that he has a wonderful channeling ability. Kristen and I couldn't have wished for a better person to translate these sacred healing prayers!
We had a little over an hour of healing time and we then went around the group individually to connect further with the women and say a few individual prayers. The energy in the place was vibrant and manifested into a burst of song and dance! There were people of all ages... babies on the backs of their mothers bouncing up and down with song, next to elderly women who danced, clapped and sang. It was awesome! An amazing end to a powerful healing session. We have footage on video so check it out when Kris puts her video diary onto the thetahealinguk.com website!
We had several testimonials from women one of which said that she will go to sleep tonight with a peace in her heart and awaken with peace in her heart.
We left the camp exhilarated! The power of Theta Healing is infinite and can reach so many in one fell swoop. I personally have never facilitated for such a large group and the experience helps me to understand what I only knew in theory. The possibilities are endless when you tap into this Divine energy. Feeling the atmosphere change from one moment to the next, from a heavy, dejected energy to becoming lighter and joyful is a beautiful thing to witness.

Sunday in Goma was spent by the pool in Hotel Ihusi! We were running late for the church service and decided at the last minute to have a day of rest and mild sunburn instead! Lol
It would have been interesting to observe how people spend their time in church here. There is such a strong belief in God or a higher power in Africa and it is second nature for many people to pray to God. Prayer serves to provide a comfort, faith and peace in what are still very turbulent times for the people of Congo. The people of Goma are so very receptive to this healing as prayer is an intrinsic part of their spiritual practice.

Until my next post...

Tutaonana!
