Do you suffer from bad headaches? Reiki works really well for some people, and there are simple techniques that increase its effectiveness in laying on of hands. As a practitioner, or even in self-Reiki, these tips are great to know.
HOW TO CLEAR A HEADACHE OR MIGRAINE WITH REIKI
If you feel a headache or migraine coming on, place the palms of the hands over the temples and send Reiki. Focus on the 2nd symbol(SHK) if you have been level 2 attuned or above. For small headaches, 5-20 minutes is often enough. You can also place hands intuitively over any areas of the head that feel tight, or tense.
If the migraine was caused by overstimulation of the eyes because of:
too much light
over-use of technology
extended reading and studying
--Then a good next step is placing your right hand over the eyes, and left hand over the occipital lobe at the back of the head; this is where the visual processing occurs.
For the type of migraine that is already moving down into the rest of the body, I begin with the above and then lay hands at the back of the heart chakra. This helps release the emotional processes we may be hiding from ourselves.
Lastly, sending reiki into the feet by laying hands on the tops and bottoms of the feet helps bring all of that energy that has pooled in the head, down towards the earth for release. This can help distribute flow, reducing the effects of the migraine.
My absolute favorite modality to incorporate with Reiki when I'm helping loved ones with migraines, is massage. I have found that incorporating a gentle massage of the spine and feet along with the Reiki can increase overall well-being. The Usual Suspects (dark room, water, cool rag, silence, rest), should also be incorporated.
There are many different reasons that people get migraines. If you experience frequent migraines and you don't know why, feel free to call me and we can discuss the emotional energetic ramifications and how to process them with Reiki.
