I seem to be getting more headaches again. The second day for this headache.
At the same time kriyas are very very heavy. Most of last night, all through
meditation this morning. Very heavy and every two seconds. Lifting the
entire body off the chair. Is there a connection between kriyas and
headaches? Although I have suffered a lot with headaches before kriyas
started.
Also there seems to be a pattern. If I have a particularly outstanding
meditation it will be followed by a headache.
I searched the archives but found no guidance on how to handle headaches.
In a lot of pain and looking for guidance.

Dear Ron,
I had viral meningitis and insephalitis, inflammation of the brain and fluid
around the brain, when I was 26. This was extremely painful. It felt as if
my brain was too big for my head. Once I got well I never had any headaches
until just before my K awakened 7 years later. I was starting to feel
concerned that it was starting again. With the illness I was also itchy all
over and with the K I was as well. The doctor's never found a reason for
the illness and I had two powerful experiences around it that I explained
away as epiphenomina of the illness. One of the experiences occurred during
the night and the next day the illness had broken and the symptoms were
suddenly gone. Now I think that it was a trial run of K. I experienced
the illness for 11 days, the first 5 at home and the next 6 in hospital.
They told my ex husband that I might die.
I have had many headaches in the last 10 years. They come regularly for a
few weeks and then subside for a longer period. I think the process works
through tempering the nervous system to take higher and higher voltages of
current in a rythmic cycle. It takes the body to beyond it's tolerance
level and then backs off again until it is comfortable with containing the
new voltage. For me headaches are a sign that that tolerance level has been
exceeded and I am storing too much energy in my head. I stop meditating
straight away.
My headaches either feel like my brain is too big for my skull (steel bands
would also describe this) or the energy lodges behind my eyes and my sight
becomes blurry and I become sensitive to light. With the second type I also
become nauseus.
I think there is a very strong connection between increased Kriya activities
and the headaches and powerful altered states of consciousness in
meditation. My understanding of it now is that the energy moves up into the
head and pools there. It needs to be redistributed through the body and
either stored above the head or in the abdominal cavity. Exercise helps me.
I have to force myself to do it and I need to concentrate as much as
possible on my feet. I have a magnetic disk that I can stand on and twist
on a swivel type mechanism. It is an exercise product developed by an
Australian but I have seen copies of it here so they may be available in the
states. I feel the magnets in it and the twisting help to redistribute the
energy. Visualising the energy moving down the front of my body (in the
manner of the Taoist micro orbit) also helps a lot and I do this while both
exercising or just standing. Walking is also good, focusing on my feet
rolling along the ground. Often I must wait until night in order to be able
to go outside.
I have also noticed that a headache might develop if I don't drink enough
water. I find sometimes if I catch a headache in the very early stage it
can be avoided by drinking a couple of glasses of water. I also sometimes
take sports drinks or diarea preparations containing electrolytes if I feel
my system is storing too much water.
I see a chinese doctor who I believe is a Master. I have only been to him
once while a headache was in process and he placed an acupuncture needle in
my third eye and it just went. This was for the second type of headache. I
have been going to him for 10 years. I first went to him 3 months after my
Kundalini had become active and I was having trouble with my digestive
system, skin, as well as the headaches. He balanced my energy in 3
treatments over 3 weeks. These days I go to him for what I refer to as a
tune up every 6 months. He cracks my back and my neck and does various
cupping, spooning, pinching, etc. Occassionally he will do a few needles of
acupunture. He also gives me a couple of physical exercises to do. Each
time the exercises are different. Once in the early stages, after the
separation from my ex husband and a bout of severe headaches, he got one of
his male students to give me an hour long "erotic massage." He said I
wasn't feeling my body. I was a bit embarrassed but it did help. He also
tells me I think too much. I believe seeing him helps a lot, I think just
sitting in his energy field helps. He tells me there's nothing wrong with
me and I don't need to see him but he is happy to continue seeing me.
Unfortunately there is always a four week wait on an appointment unless it's
an emergency. He is quite incredible and runs schools for both martial arts
and chinese medicine as well as his own practice. He is 87 years old!
I also carry stress and tension in my shoulders and neck. This seems to
form a band that constricts the flow of energy from the head to the body but
not the other way round. Manual manipulation of this helps (massage). I
also think it is very important to relax into the pain rather than tensing
up against it. Tensing up against it seems to hold the pain in place.
If I take painkillers I have found Ibrufen to be much better and aspirin to
be better than codeine or paracetemol. Like Hillary I follow them with a
strong coffee chaser! Then I go to bed and just watch the energy. Often I
fall asleep and wake up headache free.
I hope some of this helps. I'm in a period of increased activity at the
moment too.
Regards,
Julie.
PS after a period of headaches there is always a period of enhanced well
being and vitality!
