| Hello! I have been having problems with my migraines for almost two years. I had a car accident and I suffered really serious head injuries. Fortunately I recovered completely in a month. The only problem I have is a severe headache, which usually occurs when I am tired or when the weather or air pressure changes. My doctor prescribed pain killers. My sister told ma I should try alternative therapies such as Reiki. I have heard many different opinions and good and bad experiences regarding Reiki therapy and I don’t know what to do. |

| Hi! You are right, there are many different opinions regarding alternative medicine in general. Many people said they felt a state of deep relaxation combined with feelings of peace and security after Reiki treatment. Most people say it increases immunity and reduces pain. Many of them had emotional releases and felt really better after the treatment. There are also many testimonies on healing by Reiki but there is no scientific evidence to prove that Reiki really heals. Also, I know people who tried Reiki once and had no reactions at all or had even headache and dizziness. I think it depends on the practitioners and on the person’s belief system. I see Reiki as a technique for stress reduction and relaxation and I don’t see the reason why you shouldn’t try it. If you don’t like it try something else. |

Hello,
I would not recommend Reiki because I think its origins are concealed in lies and I do not trust the stories. Although it is said to be only good, I have had negative experiences with it and I know others who have, too. I was a Reiki II practitioner for 1.5 years, but I have now renounced it.
For your type of injury, I think you would benefit from some bone adjustments and cranio-sacral work. The accident may have put your bones out of line, which will make your alignment off. Getting your alignment back will help. Still, you may have some muscle memory of the pain, so you will have to retrain your muscles to relax for long term benefits. This type of retraining is best done in the mind, so you may need to visualize or remember or release the fear that you experienced during the accident. Flower essences are great allies in mind spirit healings. Also, you must be willing to give up your pain. Sometimes people identify with their pain and fear (sometimes without realizing it) that giving it up will be a loss (perhaps in pity or attention or disability check). You must be willing to accept what will happen if your pain changes. Dehydration and lack of proper trace minerals can be a problem in headaches. Pharmaceuticals can be very dehydrating (even their research has stated it) and mineral robbing. Dr. Batmangelij has written books about chronic dehydration, but the solution is always the same. Water (1/2 oz per pound of body weight) and a good quality sea salt (1 teaspoon per gallon of water per day) will fix so many ailments. I rarely get migranes now, only when I have contact with a couple of things that I am allergic to or if I become very angry. Realize that some pain in this world is designed by the dark spiritual forces to demoralize you and make you feel hopeless. You can simply let these forces know that you are not willing to be their victim and that you will continue to live a good life, despite their attempts to harm you.
Sometimes chronic pain can make a person depressed, so make sure to take care of yourself mentally. If someone who loves you notices some differences in you, listen. Never take SSRIs, though. They can be impossible to get off of, they can make a person homicidal or suicidal and they can deplete your seratonin levels permanently. Give yourself time to heal and be gentle with yourself. Avoid thinking that you deserve the pain and that you are being punished.
Finally, look for the positive in this situation. I have found that my pain experiences usually lead me to learning compassion for other suffering people. They often teach me paitence and tolerance, too.
I hope you find some peace with your situation. |
