Headaches
Hi everyone
Lately i have been suffereing from headaches, at least 1 a week. When I get them, I give myself Reiki, but I am finding that it is not wroking. Normally Reiki works fine on any ailment I have, but just not on the Headaches.
Wonder if I am doing something wrong, or should I be placing my hands somewhere differently than my head.

I find self-treating with reiki for headaches and migraine doesn't work for me, although it seems to work on other people.
I normally try reflex points instead.

Hi Angel
When I get headaches, I find that it helps to Reiki the back of my head under the occiput...however, I think the Reiki would get to where it was needed anyway. I see the hand positions as just a guide....
Another thing to think about that I have had recently, is is the pain in your 3rd eye area? In which case, it might not be a headache in the normal sense of the word, but your 3rd eye may be opening....I found meditation to help with this type of 'headache'....
Just a thought...
Love and Peace

Hi Gussie
I will try the Reflex points and see if they work.
Hi White light
Well I thought the same about the hand positions and that it doesn't matter where I put them, that Reiki will go where it is needed. It starts in my third eye area, but today it has moved to the right a little, I just had my eyes tested a couple of months ago so I have ruled that out.............maybe it is my third eye opening a little more. Will keep a note of it. Thanks.

i have to say i have never heard of the third eye opening causing headaches before. Using reiki can help, placing one hand on the forehead and the other on top of the head or at the temples, depending on where the headache starts from. Headaches are not always due to head ache and can be caused by shoulder and neck tension. a cold flannel across the head works wonders so does sitting on the knees, taking the top of the head to the floor and gently lifting the buttocks off the heals so that the head moves forward and the back of the neck opens gently, this helps to open the vertabrae in the neck. it has stopped migraine headaches within 4 minutes with me, when I used to get them, as migraines and headaches are often caused by tension and restriction in blood flow/artery caused by pressure. I have found that with yoga and meditation/relaxation techniques we can bring the body down, and work to release tension which i think will be very beneficial for you. one great way of de-stressing is to have a hot shower and then, in your privacy move the body around in a rag doll motion, no tension just floppy. moving the body like a puppet with no use of tension or muscles at all. it really is rather envigorating and many people do this in the nude!! very liberating and this feeling can ease tension as we use the body and mind to relax and destress.
hope this helps. As I said I wouldnt pay too much notice to it being the third eye opening i have never heard of this before and the energy centres do not work in this manner, there can be release of toxins/emotions etc but to cause pain is something i have not come across.

WELL! My Reiki Master and several books I have read would disagree with you, Tammy! Chakras DO open and they DO close. Also, a headache is a sign of toxicity and can also be due to emotions....which is what you're saying above...Still, if you've not heard of it, I must be wrong (?!)
