Migraines and Headaches Resolved

 

The Headache and Migraine problem

Migraines have there source in the nervous system. The nervous system controls and co-ordinates the body’s movements. Receiving information and impressions from the senses, it relays information to the brain (the centre of the nervous system) which is responsible for our thoughts, personality, movement and behaviour. From the brain information is relayed through the central nervous system by way of the spinal cord out to all other parts of the HealingMigraines2body.

The brain composed of various areas manages different functions within it.   At the base of the brain is hypothalamus gland which is a major nerve centre. Through the pituitary, the hypothalamus controls appetite and thirst, sleep patterns, sexual urges and temperature. The pituitary gland regulates physical growth, puberty and pregnancy, and releases powerful endorphins that not only act as powerful painkillers but also as anti-depressants. It is in charge of the entire endocrine (hormone) system with many of its orders coming from the hypothalamus gland.

Part of the endocrine system is the pineal gland, which is connected to mental aptitude and sexual rhythms. This small gland, called the seat of the soul by Descartes, can be seen as a two way link between spirit and matter, between the abstract and the relative. This indicates the intimate relationship between;

  • how we feel
  • how we behave
  • our emotions and
  • our physical state.

The molecules that carry all this information are called neuropeptides, they are found all over the nervous system but concentrated in the brain area of our emotions. These molecules are the key in our healing response when emotions are involved.

As the nervous system is the communication network that links all the various parts of our being together, so any damage or blockage means a collapse in the communication between the brain and part/s of the body . A fault in any one part may affect  other areas, creating blockage or system failure. Such blockages or breakdowns can be represented as strokes, numbness, neuralgia or paralysis depending on the nature of the breakdown or blockage. 

Headaches

HealingMigraines4There are numerous reasons for headaches.    Some may be due to biological imbalances in the body, allergies, fatigue etc. Headaches are generally the body’s way of saying that we are going too fast, doing too much, overloading the circuit, and are out of touch with our inner needs. The blood vessels are constricted, limiting the oxygen supply to the head. This implies an inner tension that is resisting going with the flow and is constricting or holding on inside.
Headaches can be caused by;

  • unexpressed feelings – such as anger, resentment, frustration, even rage (that build up an create inner pressure)
  • worry, self doubt or fear of failure, creating self-dislike and disconnectedness
  • pride or arrogance, stubbornness and rigid thinking patterns, where we hold on tight to what we think is right, thus narrowing our views and restricting our sensitivity
  • a resistance to events or circumstances, making us want to opt out of participation
  • taking on more than we can chew on or cope with, leading to overwork, stress, and tension between the head and the body (between thought and action)
  • a desire to control, especially combined with a strong will or perfection, or equally a feeling of being out of control
  • excess mental absorption or self centeredness leading to a lack of physical grounding and a lack of contact with the heart and inner feelings
  • tension and stiffness in the neck and shoulders resulting from poor posture, creating a split between body and mind

A good idea is when you experience headaches frequently, will be to keep a diary, noting the times and surrounding circumstances, food eaten within a few hours of the headache, emotional environment. Describe the headache, its location, duration, and severity out of a scale of say ten, describe also your feelings just prior to the headache say in the preceding two hours.

This will greatly assist in tracking and giving a clue as to what is actually going on. A picture will start to develop over time. Some questions that you can keep in mind while keeping your diary may be the following;

  • are you resisting someone or something
  • are you focusing all your energy in your head and forgetting your heart
  • are you trying to be perfect
  • are trying to do every thing without asking for help

Migraines

Due to the restriction of the supply of blood to the brain, migraine headaches can last for many hours and include nausea, vomiting and the need for complete rest in a dark room. Physical causes may include such things as allergies to certain food stuff particularly chocolate, coffee, cheese, red wine or wheat. A restriction in oxygen implies a restriction in the life force, a holding back from full participation, a desire to push away what is happening and to completely retreat into ourselves. Migraines are often connected to psycho/emotional expectations not being met, or a fear of failure. Some issues that may contribute could be of one or some of the following;

  • HealingMigraines6attempting to completely repress our feelings, particularly anger and rage, so that they create a build up of nervous tension and extreme frustration
  • a tendency to be a perfectionist or to control, putting under stress on behaviour, with a fear of spontaneity or emotional expression
  • strongly repressed sexual feelings, often because of their seemingly uncontrollable nature
  • great expectations and anticipation, creating inner stress
  • unfilled plans and deep disappointment, a feeling of being let down
  • a fear of being unable to do everything asked of us, or extreme introversion which resists involvement, or a terror of being asked to be involved
  • needing to be loved and cared for – a silent cry for attention

As described above, the issue of the diary is very important to help trace its origin.

It is important to catch a migraine before it is full blown, and, if it is possible, to normalise the blood vessels in the brain. There are a few good ways for this, the one is to take a few minutes, sitting or lying quietly, and visualise your hands getting warmer and warmer. Inner conscious relaxation and breath awareness meditation will also help. Energy medicine focused on the head and clearance of the stagnant energy/blockages will normally bring rapid relief.

The healing process

HealingMigraines8Counselling is essential in the healing process, it helps to put into perspective that which has got out of balance, or that area where we have difficulty in receiving or giving, or our emotional involvement, or our expression of our love, or all or some of the aforementioned.

There is normally a block or a negative event that occurred somewhere in life that must be revisited and a different perspective gained in some way. Once this is done then energetic healing can be done and the tension levels usually decline rapidly and normalise to proper levels. Headaches and migraines usually have ancillary legs to them and need to be addressed. The process of healing does take a bit longer than normal minor issues.

Please note that all of the above does not necessarily fit 100% to each and every headache / migraine sufferer, but there are large parts of the above that fits most sufferers. It is up to you to find those and work with it. By doing this, you will find your own healing.

Positive thinking on it’s own will not solve all of your problems, however it is one of a series of things that we all have the power to implement which will get us on the path to leading the life we want.

NEW HOPE IN CONQUERING MIGRAINES / HEADACHES !!!

What does this involve?
A therapeutic approach combining the following:

  • Counselling based on Soul Psychology to facilitate self-understanding of your physical and emotional make up and how to resolve blockages.
  • Physical movement and breath work, designed to get stagnant energy moving in the body again, recreating a sense of physical and emotional well being.
  • Healing techniques to re balance and get the human energy system working properly again. (This is also taught to you for self maintenance purposes.)
  • A proper balanced diet for MIGRAINE AND HEADACHE sufferers that is rich in vitamin B (this you would need to get from your local Dietician – we can help in this regard)

This approach can be used with medical treatment for migraines / headaches.

How does this all work?

There are three possibilities from which to choose:

  • Individual sessions – Migraines / headaches are generally easy to resolve and remove the actual headache but what normally happens is that there are ancillary issues that have to be resolved before they go completely.
  • Small group workshops – one day workshop for headaches / migraines but it is recommended that you attend others to fully support yourself.
  • Combination of both

The sessions will cover - reaching an in-depth understanding and resolution of the emotional issues as highlighted above, -replacing these issues with skills like self processing, anger management, boundary setting, removal of barriers, self care and self empowerment and development, - understanding of the body’s energy systems and how to use it properly, healing and dietary issues. This powerful combination usually generates excellent results. This is not to say that once this is done that all personal issues are resolved. The sessions / workshop help to resolve most and always result in improvement but as in all things involving major illnesses it is a journey. Please see the “Nature of Illness” which will explain the journey and why it is like that nicely to you on this web site.

Who can benefit from this?

Anyone experiencing migraine / headaches, irrespective whether this condition has been recent or long term can benefit from this. In cases where the disease has just been diagnosed the easier it is to work with and generally quicker the results. As in all major diseases, the healing process is always a journey. It took many years to develop to this stage, the undoing of it is always a journey for you to realise what is still needed for you to resolve.

Results !!!           In every case that I have dealt with, the headaches / migraines have reduced. In most cases they go away completely. This means that your medication can be reduced. You need to reduce this in conjunction with your doctor. Please do this slowly and monitor yourself carefully.

In more stubborn cases the Migraines / headaches may come back from time to time. This is normally due to some external event – emotional or physical. Getting down to the root cause and addressing it normally sorts this out. 

You owe it to yourself to try to resolve the aches, not only for your own sake, but for your family and your relationships never mind the possibility of cutting the future cost of medication and medical aid costs and time off from work.
