Possible causes of Migraine and Headaches.

Possible causes of Migraine and Headaches. M'reen

No therapist will work with migraines or headaches without your doctor first clearing 
any physical concerns.

Your house 1.
Your house may suffer from ‘Sick house syndrome’ this means that it is oozing chemicals
from the modern materials it is composed of or that you have imported or use.
This is something you are going to have to research.

Your house 2.
Your house may be affected by ley lines, past lives, geo stresses, standby lights, electromagnetic
and other energies for which there are a number of practitioners who can work remotely
to make your house a comfortable place.
One idea that has worked for a number of clients is to place a pot plant in the room to be cleared,
or at least a few spoonfuls of earth with the window open slightly (air) and a tea candle (fire)
in a dish of water (preferably 2 gold or yellow candles and a white one in separate dishes of water) 
so that you have all four elements. Close the door and go out for a few hours.
Using dowsing rods I did help a lady of the 1800’s go to the light to be with her two children
from a bed room in the Crooked House in Lavenham UK.
And someone ‘saw’ disgruntles elementals outside and in a certain area of my house.
I found that these friends of the house were very unhappy with the dead branches I was using
in my new little gardens to keep off the cats until my plants had time to become established.

Food.
Food becomes acidic or alkaline in your body; your body works best within a pH range.  
Caffeine, red meat, citrus and other fruits make for an acidic environment which may be expressed 
as migraine or gout etc. Interestingly grapefruit, limes and lemons become alkaline in the body.
It may be useful for you to examine The Hay method of eating to improve your weight and health.
We wake with a more acidic body and that is a prime reason for people needing that first cigarette.
You can buy 100 urine testing strips off the internet for around £10. If you record what you eat for each meal and test your urine every time you go to the toilet you may find as I did that Darjeeling tea had a neutral effect but two cups of a barley / chicory / rye drink brought my urine back down 
into the recommended pH level.
Magnesium and other deficiencies can play a significant role in your well being and these levels 
can rapidly change.
The medical term for an icecream headache is sphenoplatine ganglioneuralgia

Nasal mask.
I wear a sleep mask all night that forces air up my nose to prevent sleep apnoea; sometimes I wake with a headache that my energy work will not move and neither will staying in bed without the mask. The only solution is to get up and move.  So move. A walk outside, especially near trees as they can bring your blood pressure down or stand on grass with your bare feet. If this is not possible then create a scrap book of natural scenes or put pictures of trees, mountains, the sky or sea on the inside of doors that you open often. Have a webcam of a harbour, from a mountain top or a bird hide playing on your computer or TV screen or a fish tank, no matter how small. For those with failing eyesight and physical ability a soft toy with soothing textures can be really lovely as can be a pet.

Hormones.
Period migraines can be helped with hypnotherapy and other therapeutic disciplines.
Post sexual migraines. Check this out on the internet.

Periodical or Weekend migraines.
Eventually you need to deal with the originating stress. You may find the Grounding by Centering in Your Space article at http://www.ourinnerminds.blogspot.co.uk November 2013 to be helpful.
One lady found that her migraine was at day 3 stage after just repeating, ‘I release this headache’ during only one run through while we ate breakfast.

Past life, This life trauma.
A person had 30 odd years of 4-5 days of crippling migraines. When bales of hay were of a size that could be lifted by hand and this person was 16 years old and a friend dropped a bale from a height onto his head; the bale skimmed down his back and for that second he thought he was going to die. Once I’d found the originating event it took only a few minutes to do the healing to release this death fear.

The Magnesium and Arthritis Connection

The Magnesium and Arthritis Connection
http://www.healthhotsolution.com/10/category/the%20magnesium%20and%20arthritis%20connection/1.html


The Magnesium and Arthritis Connection The most interesting fact about magnesium is that when there is a deficiency, the white blood cells in the body markedly increase the cytokines responsible for inflammation. They also increase histamine levels.

What this means to your joints is there’s trouble ahead. Magnesium deficiency causes inflamed joints, which lead to pain in your joints. Chronic inflammation will eventually break down any healthy tissue in your joints.

Tissues that are inflamed send out distress signals to white blood cells to come in to the area to help repair them. However, once these white blood cells get to the tissue in distress, they create even more cytokines that cause greater levels of inflammation.

Magnesium stops this process.

The Magnesium/Inflammation Connection Established in Research Studies Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina discovered that C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were much higher in those who had a magnesium deficiency and only consumed about 310-420 mg magnesium daily. This is about 50% of the estimated daily value needed to maintain good health.

C-Reactive Protein is considered a strong predictor of heart attacks, stroke and inflammation in the body.

The bad news is that a magnesium deficiency also damaged blood vessels as well, due to the inflammation. Researchers believe that a deficiency of this important element induces stress in the whole body, which exaggerates aging processes through oxidation and immune system stress.

And it doesn’t take months for these negative results to occur. In studies, only a few days of low levels of magnesium was enough to cause marked inflammation. Magnesium replacement reversed the inflammation.

Could it be that many of us are deficient in magnesium? Absolutely. Foods in the diet only provide little bits of magnesium here and there. No one food is especially high in the mineral. Green leafy vegetables and nuts contain higher amounts than other foods, but still are not high enough if your body is showing a deficiency.

What are the Deficiency Symptoms? Here are the magnesium deficiency signs and symptoms:

• Muscle twitching

• Tremors in the body

• Confusion and being overly cautious

• Depression

• Irritability

• Disorientation

Many health issues such as heart disease, arthritis, attention deficit syndrome, deafness, constipation, and kidney stones are related to low levels of magnesium in the body.

Perhaps the easiest way to see if you are deficient in magnesium is to rub magnesium oil on your joints and see what happens. In those who are deficient, the muscles relax instantly and the arthritis nodules and joints are not tender to the touch. This isn’t an official “medical” test for a magnesium deficiency but it can give you and your doctor a clue as to what to do next.

Correcting a magnesium deficiency can make a remarkable difference in your arthritis. Discuss the topic with your doctor and nutritionist today.

Arthritis, is its inception in your mind?

She is decorating my former Tudor home. The Tudor period stretched from 1485 to 1603
You see what you expect to see, yet in reality she is a mop head.

Arthritis, is its inception in your mind? M'reen Hunt

Unpalatable though it is, there is a theory that everything that happens to us, both the physical and emotional pain we experience is a result of the way in which we perceive and subsequently inter-react with our personal world. Those who accept transgenerational and past life influences extend this possibility, and may also include the choices we may make to aid our spiritual development. All of these influences can be described in some way as coming from within us and affect our perceptions of events and the result of those understandings.
Remember that this also is the basis of our good qualities and experiences.
It must be added that further to this, some would accept the external influences of attached entities that is earthbound spirits etc. There is also the thought that as DNA strives to generate a uniform but unique body, so that body also has a blueprint for perfect physical health and in addition to this is a spirit that strives for perfect spiritual growth.
                                                                                                                                                                      
When I was a child I used to wander how the milk of magnesia we were dosed with knew what it was supposed to be curing this time. For another family the magical potion  was a Beacham’s powder and I used Minidex with my eldest child.
How is it possible that these medications might work universally? Well, physically I suppose, they may or may not have provided some useful ingredient that helped or at least did not hinder healing at that time. In practice their main effect may have been similar to the kiss that makes everything better, both for the kisser and the kissee.
I have been told that a company increased the lighting on the shop floor and productivity went up, but eventually levelled off and returned to its previous level. So, they returned the lighting to its original level and productivity went up. The conclusion drawn was that the workers felt cared for and responded accordingly.
This is a little like the police using smiles, kit-kats or fried sardines to anticipate a positive outcome with potentially troublesome groups of people. The smiles were Dutch, the kit-kats were given by the English and the sardines belonged to the Portuguese police.

 What has all this to do with arthritis and hypnotherapy?
Patience, I’m getting there.
There are the physical aspects of arthritis and associated conditions to be considered in just the same way as a broken leg is a broken leg and is more appropriately treated in a hospital setting. However, hypnotherapy can help speed up the healing of that leg and make the healing process much more comfortable. I have read that the arthritic fingers with gold rings are less severely affected than the opposite fingers that are ring free and I’ve also read that certain supplements can be beneficial. The first appears to be an entirely physical outcome while the second could rely on the advantages of the placebo effect. Or maybe the rings and supplements have both a physical and emotional effect, science will tell, eventually.

I will offer five examples that indicate to me that it could be advisable to check the emotional component of a concern as well as the physical.
1.  One lady had an impressive collection of gloves, because she always had cold hands. We found that she had a childhood memory of having mislaid her gloves and enduring a very cold playtime. With the appropriate re framing (or re-understanding and accepting) of that incident her hands now are just as warm or as cold as the hands of others.
2.  Each time I returned to England, within days I got pains in my knees that vanished when I returned to my mountain home in the US. Later, living in the UK for seven unhappy months, the pain in my knees was accompanied by a dull swelling ache in my hands. My hands returned to normal with the salty warmth of the Mediterranean, but my knees insisted on continuing to twinge. In Marbella I met a hypnotherapist who told me that this was because I couldn’t run away from something. I thought, ‘How ridiculous, what do I want to run away from?’ I later joined a group he had formed and during the induction (the relaxing into trance bit) he invited us to progressively relax our bodies from our heads down to our toes, he then worked from our toes to our heads suggesting healing. I had had no previous experience of hypnotherapy and had no idea as to what was possible or how things might work, but when he got to my knees, I repeated the thought, ‘pain go, pain go,’ and for the next fifteen minutes or so I experienced lava lamp bubbles (of pain) float up from my knees to my thighs. When they reached my hips I experienced a little panic and wondered what to do next so I thought, ‘dissipate, dissipate,’ and that is exactly what must have happened. I experienced an occasional bubble through the evening and one or two the following morning and was completely free of any knee pain until I returned to England. The pain returned and cutting to the chase I visited a physiotherapist/hypnotherapist who told me that I was standing with my shoulder blades sticking out from my ribs. She taped my scapulas into place and I experienced a stabbing pain down my right side and knee to my ankle and found that this postural balancing removed all the knee pain.
This demonstrates the complementary value of physical and emotional therapy.
Amusingly I wondered if my scapulas sticking out were little wings so that I could fly away from my problems?
 3.  A friend has fingertips that shoot up as opposed to continuing straight and this deformation is the result of four years of ‘arthritis’. Originally, she went to her doctor as she was experiencing pain, he told her that she had arthritis and they experimented with prescriptions to find one that was suitable to her. He told her that she was destined to a wheel chair and in fact at one point she had to ask her youngest child to move her feet in bed. She had medication in every bag and in a pocket of every coat she possessed, as she could not manage more that a prescribed number of hours without medication.
One day she had a telephone conversation with her friend asked who’d diagnosed her condition and was her doctor a specialist in this field, what had she been doing before she started experiencing this pain which took her to the surgery? Our friend has a phobia with Stanley knives and she had spent until the wee small hours using scissors and her knees to fit carpet in her hall, lounge, stairs and bedroom. I defy anyone unused to such activities not to wake up with painful hands and knees. That night she didn’t take her medication and hasn’t taken it since. Without that conversation she would be in a wheelchair as prescribed by her doctor.
Accepting the power of an authority figure, in this case her doctor, is one of the five entry points to the mind; the alpha state of hypnotherapy can utilise this and the other three gateways, interestingly the authority we in use hypnotherapy is the authority of yourself. The other enters points are: 3. Habit 4. Strong emotion and 5. Hero worship.   
4.  After an x-ray a doctor told me that I have osteoporosis in my neck and I understood her to say that eventually I will be in pain and that ultimately the medication will not ease this pain. There was no complementary or alternative therapeutic advice offered. Needless to say I’m not happy with an authority figure condemning me to consuming pain. Time will tell, but has not done so in the last eight years. In the mean time I can do many things to help myself. Disgusted with my doctor’s lack of support that might prevent or delay her prognosis I decided to use my skills with self-hypnosis.
I am consciously aware of three events in my life that may have been the cause of my neck condition; it is reasonable to assume that there may be an adverse emotional component attached to one or more of these physical event which caused the eventual displacement of a couple of cervical vertebrae. I relaxed into trance, but my mind didn’t follow its usual route of dumping the emotions surrounding an event pictorially, instead I experienced myself ‘physically’ moving my head into a safe position and thinking, ‘I’m safe’ and this ‘solved’ one of the three events. The result is that now I can press my hand hard onto the back of my head without discomfort whereas for many years I have not been able to put my hand close to the back of my head without experiencing discomfort. Now all I have to do is melt away the build up of calcified salts and restore my vertebrae to optimum alignment and I’m home free! However, I’ve not actively worked on this.
5.  I read the following in a book; apparently a lady was refused an operation on her spine as it was deemed to be too dangerous.  She then went to see a past life therapist and while in trance she had a this-life experience. When she was a young child her father had run amok with an axe killing his family. During this time she had crouched down behind the toilet door; her father had pushed open the door but fortunately he never looked behind it. When the healing of this event had been achieved her back uncurled from that terrified crouching position. I have no idea if this was instantly or her back uncurled over a period of weeks or years.

With the exception of the last one, I have given you personal trivial to serious examples of the unconscious physical manifestation of emotional trauma or expectations.

I welcome your experiences in these areas as it is only in sharing our experiences that we can take a more holistic approach to informed self responsibility and self healing. Remember that the most important aspect of any therapeutic healing is your readiness and acceptance of that healing and your partnership with the therapy or therapist.
There are many different sorts of therapies that work with the releasing of blocked energy that expresses itself physically, emotionally or spiritually and some you will be drawn to more than others to help you remove any blocks to accepting that relief.  Hypnotherapy is one of the therapeutic interventions I use that allows direct communication with your creative inner mind; and your inner mind knows where the root of the problem is because all of your life’s experiences are stored there. When working with the body’s self healing the therapist understands that each cell
has its own intelligence and it is this body/mind/spiritual intelligence that works in concert as when dealing with the mind/body connection our thoughts are energy and our bodies respond to what we think of ourselves.

CFS/ME Inability to stay awake during the day

This was my first 'dotty' picture, however there is a little colour in there.

Reflective Reframing webinar. M'reen Hunt  

For 13 ½ years I’ve been refusing to accept the label of CFS.
I have been Chronically Fatigued and that has impinged and debilitated my life and capabilities.
During that time I have examined every medical possibility that has come to my attention and
I have worked with myself and many practitioners in a variety of disciplines. All to no avail.
So maybe I’ve travelled to a point where I’ve been able to cast the skin of CF and emerge
my true vibrant self.
I am familiar with the principals of RR, the main ones being, from my perspective, the balance of opposites which means the ability to love that which is not desirable.
But how do you truly recognise that love? As I write this I feel a joy and excitement bubbling within me therefore I guess that is how I recognise my unconditional love for myself.
Chris is full of life and enthusiasm and practicality, he is someone I related to very easily
and research has shown that the rapport between the therapist and client is the vital ingredient
for success – not the therapeutic discipline. That statement does not reduce my regard for RR!

We chose an area of life to work with and he gave a brief example of his work.
During this period, as always, I decided to work on what was my CF as I believe I have my desire
for financial abundance working for me after a huge investment of time and energy and the skills
of others along with my ability (feet dragging) to accept my desires as my truth.
My crazy thoughts went basically thus: OK I can be tired Sunday and Monday, I can sleep all day and I imagined being in my bed. At some point I realised that I wanted to cry in my bed and my conscious mind can offer some guesses why but let’s get my conscious mind out of this altogether.
In the meanwhile Chris was making me laugh, his way of working brought up all sorts of funny scenarios and I found myself wiggling with joy and yawning quite a lot. And at those words a yawn escapes so is it a trigger to CF or an automatic response to the yawn that seems to affect everyone?
My pendulum says that I can laugh and enjoy these yawns that they are the expansive yawns
of waking up and feeling good about my day. During Chris’ webinar it was my noisy yawns with the Chewbacca sounds that made me realise that I wanted to cry in the safety of my bed.
The more I laughed and wiggled the thought came that I could choose to stay in bed Sunday
and Monday – or not.

I had no intention of signing up for his very reasonably priced weekend course in London;
but I did so promptly as I thought that it would be a great and enjoyable experience.
When in bed I imagined the first day of the course and why we were attending and what
we hoped to gain from the course. This led me to think of the third major issue in my life.
I’m not being coy but the audience is far too wide for me to share.
I thought of the opposite of my issue and realised that I’ve been living it for some years
and really it’s not all that bad, sometimes a day or two of whatever the word is, but that’s temporary.
So, what really frightens me?
It’s the lack of hope, the lack of potential.
And what does that look like since I’ve never actually experienced that state of being.
I thought of an abyss and went to look in and saw this great gaping hole – something like Dante’s inferno without the tortured beings.
I realised that the sides of the abyss were filled with sparkling diamonds
and that maybe there were caverns to explore.
Looking further I found the most magnificent black dragon with fascinating spikes and scales.
I found him to be intriguing – and doing nothing!
I wondered what my relationship with him was and decided that eventually I would find this out as my experience of him developed.
But he just sat there as part of my experience of the abyss and I realised that he just is
as the diamonds just are and the abyss just is and it was all very beautiful and natural and right.

Day 1
I try to walk an hour or two each day after lunch and prior to my walk my body was so lively
that the expression ‘having ants in your pants’ was probably apt.
Before my walk I had two sessions of a few minutes when I held all 18 acupressure points
and worked on impending tiredness.
As Chris said, issues can have many layers or different aspects as they are linked into the rest of your life. So the first time I wanted to check out what was going on. I imagined that I could see and hear Chris and get back into the healing energy. The second time I just gave everything over to my Magnificent Self – this is a combination of your Spiritual Self that has an overview of your life and the part of you that deals with everyday life. During this time for some reason I let my little gremlins go to bed and the song, there were 10 in the bed and the little one said, roll over, roll over, so they all rolled over and 1 fell out … When I got to 1 in the bed I said that it could stay in bed or go
and play with its friends and then there were none in the bed so no one said roll over, roll over.
So during the morning and most of the walk I kept tuning in to Chris.
The afternoon has been quite ‘slow’ and I’ve played rather than done the work I intended.
There are rare times when I’m awake all day and I always find it amazing just how long a day is.

Thur Day 2 I had 2 periods of tiredness. http://www.tinyurl.com/mzmhcd4
Art Giser, the Creator OF Energetic-NLP suggests that you end an energy healing session
by visualising/imagining or whatever works for you a circular rainbow high above your head.
I have seen double rainbows; I have even seen two rainbows form perfect crossed arches in SN
and EW directions but a circular rainbow has always been a construct – until this afternoon.
Your circular rainbow showers you with all the colours, hues, vibrations and all the energies you cannot be aware of and these flush through your  body and energy systems cleansing and healing.
Today, my circular rainbow was composed of hundreds and millions of tiny little rainbow smiles!
Can you imagine the JOY of hundreds and millions of tiny little rainbow smiles dancing through
your body and energy systems, caressing and soothing your body and energy systems?
I sincerely hope that you too may experience the playfulness of circular rainbows.
Prior to this my little gremlins rose into the air hanging onto balloon strings.
The balloons bust and the gremlins vanished and it was wonderful.
This might have been a variation of a hypnotherapy script I sometimes use when happy healing bubbles bust over sad issue filled bubbles?

FRI Day 3 Historically if I’ve had 2 days of being awake then I‘ve paid severely for the pleasure.
Again I had 2 periods of tiredness and during the first I got the impression of layers of leaves
at the bottom of a stagnant pond. The leaves had lost their shape and identity and purpose.
So those further down the pile were more reluctant to release as they had basically forgotten.
I tried to inject some oxygen and joy into them but they just couldn’t be bothered.
During my walk I felt tired round my eyes and nose and found tuning into Chris faded but effective.

Sat Day 4 I’ve been tired around the edges for 3 hours during which time I ‘couldn’t’ find 5 minutes for myself! During my walk whenever I thought that I‘d work on this tiredness my gremlins wandered off somewhere. When I got back I ‘did my stuff’ but I can’t claim any success.
This evening I intended to do academic work but played instead and went to bed an hour early.

Sun Day 5. If you remember Sunday and Monday were days when my gremlins could sleep all day
if they wished. While I’ve not been sleeping just as well as normally these last nights I got up feeling fine this morning. I felt my newly acquired lunch time tiredness and worked on it for a few minutes before my walk. A couple of hours later I had a full blown tiredness with great yawns and copious amounts of tears rolling down my cheeks. However I did a theta healing on a completely different subject and yawned and teared my way through this recorded session. I was a shade tired during the evening. However, during the past if I’d had to ignore this demand to go to bed and sleep for 2ish hours I would have found myself in bed having top sleep for a good number of hours and being totally groggy afterwards, unable to sleep that night and the whole taking 2 – 3 days to work its way out of my system.
Mon Day 6. My 2nd day when I gave myself permission to sleep all day – but I got up as a normal day.
JJJJ I have reclaimed my life. 
M’reen Hunt
In the following few weeks, my awakeness has gone from 95-8% to a solid 99%.
I just tell myself that, ‘oh, I’ll be tired at bedtime’ and it works.
I feel confident that I can stay awake all day.
I’m sleeping 10 – 10 ½ hours at night but that is not a problem.
So my message is, never give up; keep trying to find your answer.
And the very best of luck to you in your quest.
Unfortunately it did not last for me.
