Another year has passed of traveling the most dangerous border crossing of our country. The escalation of corruption, death and extortion caused by the drug cartels is staggering. It is reported there have been 50,000 “narc-children” left orphaned in Mexico, of which 10,000 children live in the small community of Anapra, Mexico. Innocent children are being stalked down and murdered. Shootings are now taking place at the El Paso-Juarez border crossing killing innocent people and gun fire has crossed our border hitting our UTEP campus office buildings.
While all this goes on and surrounds the Santo Nino Project in Anapra, the Sisters of Charity and their band of volunteers continue to make this crossing several times a week. The mothers bring their disabled children to this safe haven for treatments of assorted therapies and Reiki. The group of mothers that have received their Reiki training support each other and the children coming to the clinic. It is this time of year that Sister Carol and I plan my Reiki year-end review at the clinic. It is a time of gathering to celebrate our journey of Reiki, we all treat one another and share their Reiki experiences. We make a practice of writing an experience of Reiki, wrapping it up and sharing this gift with another person. This simple practice of Reiki has brought comfort and safety to the children and Mothers. We end the time together with a wonderful meal. I end my year of teaching with these mothers, who walk daily in the dangers of death, embracing their Reiki practice, the Spiritual Precepts and giving service to a clinic that holds a place of safety in their war-ravaged lives. “Just For Today, Do Not Worry” takes on a depth of meaning that most people will never know.
