head lice

If, say, someone had head lice, in what way would you use Reiki to help the situation?

Pass them on to someone else

I've had my share of lice in the
classroom,long before Formal Reiki
entered into my life.

IMO like anything I contact,I look
for its source. Did I hang my hat or
coat up in an area that's likely to
breed lice. Did I share my hat with
someone who had lice. What can I do
to get rid of them without chemicals.
After combing and cleaning the nits...

I might try using peppermint I hear that
the lice don't like peppermint also Vinegar,
tree oil....... Then you have the nits they
are the sticky ones

A Reiki session after a lice treatment can
help heal the head from the tenderness left
behind by these little vampires.

After the Reiki Session its clean up as usual..
after a lice session making sure sheets coverings,
rugs are thoroughly washed to avoid spreading
taking the usual precautions.

Thanks Bridget. Good advice.

reason i've made the topic is to generate a discussion as to whether there's limititions (or not) to what Reiki can help. Or, if there's cases where it shouldn't be used. .

What I'd do is:

10ml grapeseed oil (if you have hempseed oil use that)
2drops peppermint oil
2 drops lavender oil
2 drops rosemary oil
2 drops tea tree oil
1 CKR
Mix all together.

Apply to head and leave overnight (wrap hair in cling film or shower cap). Wash off in morning.

But then I'm an aromatherapist too!

The Reiki system is only a tool to
help a healing process along. Its
good to look at issues such as lice
and find out what role Reiki plays
in moving them along. What is the
message that these tiny vermin have
when they cross our path. When I was
a kid we were told, that lice are after
rich blood. When the school nurse came
and you were found to have them you were
sent to the NHS clinic and off with your
hair. That was what I remember about NHS
health control. i do hope it has changed
since I was a kid.

This recipe is better than just Mayonaise.

What other use do you have for grapeseed oil?

Hi Wayne,


Lets see now....I would start out by attuning each and every louse to master level in Reiki, then, after giving them sufficient time to study the precepts, they would be so unwilling to do harm to another, that they would leave the infected party of their own accord. At this point, the "enlightened lice" would have no choice but to go off and start their own spiritual healing institute...probably called something like..."The Dojo of Many Little Hands"...What do ya think?

I do think although, that i may have to use distance attunements unfortunately....

Oh, yeah....I forgot...they would be vegetarians at this point...the attunements....do wonderful things...

. excellant post! hehe.

seriously, the reason of the topic is to see how folks initially feel about the use to use Reiki to harm the life or lifestyle of insects.

This could be interesting. i'm stepping it up from the 'germ' saga.

Hi Folks,


I think it may be important to remember that in this we are taking a position in regard to what ULFE and Reiki are defined as, by people in general....People generally speaking, have no real idea what these energies can do or what their boundries are....so.....To me, it may be, more of a case of us not understanding the interconnectedness of the Universe, more so than a question of whether or not Reiki or ULFE is killing another life form on our behalf. We see death, but maybe it`s just energy changing state...nothing to be concerned about, if one views the bigger picture...This is an interesting question...

energy never disappears, it changes state. This doesn't mean it's cool to go over to Canada and kill you, eh? Hehe. The right to live, and the want to be alive, is a right that is surely wanted by all lifeforms.

So, how does this tie in with foloks ideas of Reiki?

Only if one has been granted a certain level of awareness... Is a bug aware of it`s own mortality...or is it "just living" as it has no other purpose? We are projecting values of humanity on all beings here...

All life forms seem to want to procreate, possibly a responsibility that comes with life...I do not know....

Really the outcome of this discussion can only lead in one direction...Is a humans survival more important to the Universe than a bugs survival? If we take for granted that ULFE and Reiki can effect another life forms existence in a negative way....and we direct this energy...then it would seem that our survival is more empowered than a bugs...Well my ego says...I thank my lucky stars for that small grace....

RJ

We gotta be careful here. Are we talking from the viewpoint of what the universe/divine wants, or, from what we humans want.

We're naturally, instinctively, gonna think we're entitled to life above all other things, if it comes down to a choice. Be it life-threatening, or comfortabaility.

Either all life is precious, or we enter into Orwellian 'All life is equal, but some is more equal than others'.

I think you'd have to try it in whichever way you deem appropriate and see how it works.

Don't think my wife would be too keen on waiting on an experiment though if the kids had head lice - it'd be straight to the Chemist.

There are hand treatments to deal with intestinal parasites in "The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui"...

How does Arjava suggest to treat them?

Are you saying something may have been added in translation?

It's a wonderful all-purpose oil which is the oil of choice at the hospice for aromatherapy and massage, because it doesn't set nut allergies off. I cook with it too, and it does make a good mayo!

This is the best thread ever!

Literally!

Like two different species. Didn't someone write a book about that?

i havn't read the book, and prob won't ever. don't agree with it being marketed as being co-authored by Usui sensei. That says enough for me.

Which is why i asked you the question about what Arjava is suggesting. Unless Usui sensei is somewhere in Germany, having a beer with Arjava perhaps, Hehe, Then it was Arjava whom is the sole author, using questionable text puported to be from Usui sensei.

However you have probably read other translations of the Usui Ryoho Shishin...

Hikkei heaven.

headlice are little b*stards!!!!!!!!

they are a modern plague ( I have 3 kids and both myself and my daughter have long hair)......and now of course we have the new and improved SUPER headlouse, fast becoming immune to all manner of chemical treatments........I have a zapping comb, all manner of chemical treatments and all manner of gentler treatments........tea tree oil, lavender, conditioner and 'comb them out.......

believe me headlice are a horrible little parasites.....I started a discussion on another board a few years back about the role and purpose of the head louse on earth in the grand scheme of things....there were some very interesting answers!! ahahahahahahahaha

headlice are a scurge and should be removed from the face of the planet along with all other parasites, tape worm, scabies and all manner of nasties which serve no purpose only cause harm....

so to the initial question, in what way would I use Reiki to help the situation??....I would use Reiki as a calming aid to help the infested person not feel out of control, distraught and dirty.... its a horrible thing having headlice and only makes me feel for the poor soldiers in the first world war covered in body lice fighting in the trenches..... all lice should be anihilated from the face of the earth.... and I'd happily stand at the front line with a blow torch...


one lady suggested that perhaps buddhist monks shaved their head to avoid picking up headlice and theirfore avoid killing them..... perhaops they shaved their nether regions too.....??

good to see quite clearly your feelings sharon! Hehe.

My daughter had them recently. Best thing we had, as she's real long hair, was Hedrin liquid gel is without doubt the best. Kill lice & eggs also. also no tolerance is devleoped by the lice. simply put it on for an hour at least, and wash out. no combimg reuired. then do agian one week later.

i bought outta boots, £18 damn pound. i see online it is much cheaper.

I have spent an absolute fortune over the years on various treatments!! thankfully we haven't had them in the house for a couple of years now....but when my daughter was at junior school I literally had to check her hair every single night!! it was a bleeding nightmare! I was so furious one time that I sent out notes to all the houses on my estate asking that parents check their childrens hair!! cos some parents were so blaze about it and sent their kids to school knowing they had headlice and without treating them!!, its NO joke when you have hair down your back..

I've had headlice more as an adult in the last ten years than I ever did as a child!!

so like I said I'd be first in line with a blow torch!
