meditations for migraines or headaches

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I have a client who is looking for a meditation or short kriya to aid

with her chronic headaches and migraines. I did a search at the KRI

site but nothing pulls up specifically for migraines or for a

meditation for headaches. Two kriyas pulled up for headaches, one on

the glandular system and one on releasing premenstrual tension and

sexual energy, but both were longer than she's looking for.

 

I'm wondering if a meditation around the glandular system in general

might be effective.

 

Any thoughts or experiences?

 

Blessings.

Sat Nam! Yogi Bhajan gave a meditation specifically to prevent migraines.

Sit in easy pose, eyes closed at the third eye point. Spread the fingers

comfortably and touch the fingers to the ground with the arms at the sides.

All 10 fingertips should touch the ground. Long deep breath. Inhale and

bring the pranas into the head and as you exhale visualize the energy

draining down from the brain like water flowing down through the arms and

fingers and into the ground. He described it as being like " opening a valve

and letting the water drain down. " Do it for 11 minutes. It's great to do

it outdoors when you are actually sitting on the earth but it works

anywhere.

Sat Nam,

 

One of the students I teach has told me she found doing Sat Kriya to help immensely. She has not stated the amount of time she did, but I would venture to say start with 3 minutes, resting 6 min and increase from there.

Sat Nam,

Yogiji gave a simple exercise for headaches that tightens the muscles of

the neck to the max so that you have an equal and opposite relaxation.

You lay on your back, raise your head and tuck your chin up towards the

sternum. Hold this position with long deep breathing, with a continuous

effort to tuck in the chin for two minutes. Relax for an equal time.

 

Blessings,

I have heard that Yogi Bhajan taught to firmly and repeatedly pound the

navel with fists for migraine relief. also..get her to do a liver

gallbladder flush ( and to get those meridians thoroughly worked on )

And, out of curiosity if the headaches were really horrible...why not

try anything???
