Headache

For the purpose of Creative Visualization, we will concern ourselves with headaches that have been created by stress and anger, which are easy to take care of. With the exception of migraines, there will no attempt to deal with headaches of a medical nature.

1) Make sure that you are completely comfortable with each section, prior to going on to the next one.

2) If you are not living alone, select a time and a place where and when you will not be bothered, and hang a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the door when practicing.

3) A physical trigger is still required, but by now it should be almost automatic. Squeeze once, relax, close your eyes, slow down your breathing and go into relaxation. It only requires a light trance.

(This exercise should not be tried until you have mastered the previous ones).

Suppose you have a headache that you would like to get rid of.

Close your eyes and squeeze your thumb and go into relaxation.

Pretend you are 2 people, one is yourself as is, the other a real tiny person.

Visualize that "little" person going up into your head looking for the headache. Now with your eyes closed, point to the spot on your head where you have found the headache.

A lot of these questions are going to sound silly. Just go with the flow.

1. What color is the headache?

(The color will often tell you the cause.)

Red=Anger: Black=Stress: Blue=Depression.

2. How big is the headache?

(If you were going to put colored headache into cups, how many cups would it take to hold the headache?)

3. Have you ever made a snowball?

Pretend that the colored headache is like snow

(Now, go around and pick up that colored snow "headache", and then, make snowballs with it).

There is a garbage can nearby, put all that "headache" colored snow in that garbage can, and SLAM the lid down so that the headache cannot get out. Put the can on a wagon which is sitting nearby, and push the wagon to the back of your mind, There is a street in front of you, going down a hill that ends up in a river.

Give the wagon a big hard push.

Visualize that wagon going down that hill faster and faster until it reaches the bottom and falls into a river and sinks to the bottom. Taking your headache with it. Never to bother you again.

Now with your eyes still closed, give it a moment or two, then point to where the headache is now.

If the headache is gone, great.

If the headache has moved or changed color, good.

This means that the headache will go away, even if you have to repeat the process, The good news is that it is of mental or emotional origin, and not physical.

This process only requires an altered state of consciousness, not a trance. Just close your eyes and proceed.
