There are several ways to do this, found in the ServerComponent API (of which
StorageReflectSession is a subclass).   One easy way is to call 
SendMessageToMatchingSessions(),
using a node-path string that matches only the session you want to receive the 
Message:

// Send myMsgRef only to session #0, i.e. the first session the server 
instantiated
SendMessageToMatchingSessions(myMsgRef, "/*/0", QueryFilterRef(), false);

Or, you can do the same thing "by hand" (and somewhat more efficiently), by 
obtaining 
a pointer or reference to the session you wish to send the Message to, and then 
directly
calling MessageReceivedFromSession(*this, msgRef, NULL) on that session.

For example:

AbstractReflectSession gameStateRef =3D GetSession("0");  // get ref to first 
instantiated session
if (gameStateRef()) gameStateRef()->MessageReceivedFromSession(*this, myMsgRef, 
NULL);

or

HashtableIterator<const char *, AbstractReflectSessionRef> iter =3D 
GetSessions();
const char * nextKey;
AbstractReflectSessionRef nextSessionRef;
while(iter.GetNextKeyAndValue(nextKey, nextSessionRef) =3D=3D B=5FNO=5FERROR)
{
   if (your=5Fcriteria=5Fhere) 
nextSessionRef()->MessageReceivedFromSession(*this, myMsgRef, NULL);
}
