- If you find it difficult to move the energy upwards through
the top of the head, try to go through the back of the top of the
skull instead of the middle. This area, around the acupuncture
point bai hui, or Governor 20 (section 16.7), is an easier way out of
the head. - Another way to facilitate the upward movement of the energies
is to uplift the eyebrows as high and tight as possible from the
beginning to the end of this practice. - This technique is a way of releasing extra pressure in the head
due to ‘over-practice’. But actually, once you have mastered the
trick you can use it to get rid of nearly any headache, even if it
was caused by something completely different. The technique can
definitely be used to control migraines of various origins,
provided the patient is ready to learn to handle energies.
10.9 Other possible causes of headaches
Let us look at a few other possible causes of headaches in the
context of our work of inner alchemy (and therefore without
mentioning the whole range of headaches related to medical
disorders).
- If you meditate, sleep, or work on a noxious earth line (see
Chapter 12) all kinds of negative symptoms may be created,
including headaches. It is very possible that opening your
perception reveals these symptoms, making them appear worse. It
is not that you are getting worse yourself, but rather that you are
becoming more aware of the energy disorder. By correcting the
situation (moving your bed or whatever), you will save yourself
many troubles in the long run. - Headaches may also result from meditating or sleeping close to a
fridge, television, electric heater, cables, electric blanket,
electronic devices, synthetic carpet, or any metallic structure that
stores static electricity. Getting rid of the cause will remove the
headaches.
In conclusion, apart from the causes mentioned above, it is not
usual to get headaches from working on the eye. If you are
suffering from headaches and if you have checked that none of
the above-mentioned reasons can be responsible, then it is likely
that the problem comes from a completely different source than
your spiritual practice. In this case it is best to discuss the matter
with a health practitioner.
