Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Dana, When I went through my first Shaktipat I hads getting debilitating migraines 3-5 times per week. I have gotten migraines since I was 12, although they were never as bad as they were starting 2 years ago when I was in a serious car accident and had a head injury. By the end of Shaktipat week the migraines left. While I still get some, they are cut down significantly and the pain is more bearable when I do get them. One thing I did that allowed me to head off many of them is biofeedback training. The therapist taught me how to make my hands and feet warm, thus resetting the vascular system when I felt one coming. If I get to it soon enough, I can head it off or at least reduce the duration. Another thing I feel compelled to mention to you is about the Maxalt. The Triptan drugs (Zoming, Maxalt, Immitrex) are vaso constrictors. When we have a migraine, the blood vessels in the head open up full throttle and the blood pumping through causes pain (which is why caffeine sometimes brings relief). Taking a vaso constrictor provides relief because it reduces the blood vessels back down to normal, however, the drug cannot be selective in WHICH blood vessels are reduced. Therefore, it constricts ALL blood vessels in the body and it happens at a rapid rate. These drugs have not been out long enough for complete studies to be done on this, but over time the dilation and ensuing rapid constriction of the vessels can cause arterial bleeding and possibly heart attack. I saw an article on this and I discussed it with my neurologist. I asked him point blank if prolonged use of these drugs might not cause some serious health issues and he said " Yes " . I threw them out. After the head injury, in which I had a small hemhorrage, I was told under no circumstances was I allowed to take any Triptan drugs (not that I would touch them anyway). Have you gone to the healing group? We have a lot of successes at the healing group for a variety of ailments. Why not try the natural way? http://health.Kundalini-Healing/ Dana, I fully sympathize with you. I have suffered for many years with migraines and I know how miserable it can be. I can recall times that I had to hit myself on the head to distract myself from the pain or I wished for death. I watched my mother suffer from cluster headaches growing up. I wish you relief from the pain.

I've pretty much assumed they are triggered hormonally, as it was always a pms thing for a long while. My dr had me take my bc pills straight through for 4 months, then have a period, then straight through for another four months, in the hopes this would get rid of the migraines, except for 3 times a year. In addition, she prescribed Maxalt. > > Taking the bc pill like that doesn't get rid of the migraines. I still get them as I finish one pack and start another. What does get rid of them 80% of the time is the Maxalt. This is not an analgesic like pain killers. I have no symptoms from it other than it kills the migraine. Then I wake up the next day and the migraine tries to come back, so I take another Maxalt. This goes on for one week every month, so I end up taking about 9 Maxalt pills. But occasionally, like this last week the migraine comes through is pure HELL. I cannot function with them. The pain on one side of my head, in my eyeball, and at the base of my skull is so bad I sometime wish I'd just die from it. Without the Maxalt it will go on for up to 4 days. > > I have tried acupuncture, which helps somewhat. I have also seen my kinesiologist for them for the last 6 months to no avail. I'm frustrated and sick of these things. What's scary is that my mom has them and always had, and hers got worse as she got older. Now she gets up to 4 or 5 a month. I'm trying hard not to think in that direction, not to manifest that outcome, but I have a lot of fear around these things as they are so horrible I can't do anything but lie in bed holding my miserable head for two days when I get hit. > > Claudia said someone here was helped immensely by K-awakening and got relief from migraines. Since mine seem to be hormonal, my doc hopes mine go away when I go through menopause, but it sure didn't help my mom. > > I've been meditating on my chakras for sometime, and I do notice improvements in my third eye chakra, but I don't know what energies to work with to improve these migraines and nothing seems to make them go away totally. It used to be I got one migraine a month, but now it seems two or three try to break through. Maxalt gets rid of all but 20% or so, and oh man are they horrible.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have never had headaches (thank you God) but can't help wondering what the emotional reasons are behind them. If every condition has an emotional or karmic reason attached to it what causes migraine? I had a friend who suffered from really bad cluster headaches and would self medicate using magic mushrooms, just a very small dose, not enough to be high, and this helped him prevent them. I would be really interested to know about the reasons behind migraine and how to cure them. We know that Kundalini helps but why? What causes the pain?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hello Dana, For the time being please refrain from any of your practices with the chakras. Many people can cause a situation by over focus on certain areas and reap the results of wanting to gain an enlightenment experience by pushing to much energy into the Ajna for instance or any of a number of combinations of engforced chakra enervation. So please just for the moment do not continue to do these kinds of practices. - Let me know how this feels to you. - I am traveling so give me a little time to answer. - blessings Dana - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Chrism, I've only been working with the chakras off and on for the last year, originally having nothing to do with K awakening. This problem with my migraines has been going on for 10 years. Not working with chakras at that time didn't help at all. Since working with the chakras, I haven't noticed changes in my migraines, but I have noticed improvement with other other health feelings and opening of psychic centers. So, I don't want to stop working with them:-) Believe me if I suspected even a tiny bit they they bring on or worsen my migraines, I wouldn't work with chakras.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might have some information on breath, foods or kriyas that might help prevent migraines. Thank you Ram Hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Both my osteopath & acupuncturist have told me that many people suffer from migraines because their neck is out of alignment - quick & easy to check with a professional. The headache is caused by pressure on the occipital nerve, whilst nausea is from pressure on the vagus nerve which runs down into the stomach. This explains why some migraine sufferers get relief by vomiting - the neck contraction shifts the vertebrae enough to provide relief.
