Migraine or headache - Tips to deal with it


Yesterday, I had bad headache. It started when i sat out with sunlight directly hitting my front head (generally i sit like that so sunlight hit my back).
When i came back to work, I heard few of my colleague's spouse has migraine since long time and they were finding very hard to deal with it. Then I decided I need to do some research and find out why it's happening and then i can do something to get rid of it.

If you have chronic migraine then it takes some discipline in your life to overcome it but in this blog I'm going to talk about acute migraine (which does not occurs often).

Serotonin drops from brain blood stream thus blood vessel become narrow, then body tries to widen the blood vessel and that's when migraine starts.

I did try some breathing pattern and it helped me.

  1. I started listening some raga for migraine relief (just googled and played it). It helped a little. (but this optional step)
  2. Sit in Padmasan or Bajraasan, 
  3. Take a deep breath-in 
  4. deep breath-out (remove air from your stomach too) and then open your mouth wide open (as much as you can) and hold it like that (as long as you can)
  5. Repeat Step 3 and 4 for 10 times.
  6. Just relax for 2 mins
  7. Take a deep breath-in 
  8. Breath-out and hold your intestine area and whole head and mouth area tight and hold it as long as you can.
  9. Repeat Step 7 and 8 five to ten times.
  10. After this relax and focus between your eyebrows for 5 mins
  11. Focus top of your head for  mins. ( you can do this longer if you want).


If you want Serotonin not to drop do following

  •  Have a deep sleep every night for at least 4 hours. If you do not sleep deeply enough then you need 8 hours of sleep  (you need to relax in bed when you go to sleep. This way you can deep sleep and now mind can do their maintenance job ).
  • Have a healthy food habit. 
  • Observe yourself what makes your migraine aggravate it; If cold air is the culprit wear cap on your head if Sun in the culprit, avoid direct sunlight on your head.

A Journey toward nothing

Unknowingly, I started journey toward nothing in November 2015, when I visited India and met one person who was practicing yoga since last 40 years. Had talked to him about my health issues and he offered two hour session next day. I returned USA and started doing pranayam (a part of yoga) and meditation. I practiced for 8 months waking up in the morning, cutting my sleep hours and giving 2 hours daily for pranayam and yoga. On August 2016, one day my colleague sent me a link which had news about awakening third eye. I believed in the post but he didnt. I started practicing for it in 4-5 days, while doing meditation, I felt something which cannot be described in words and that changed whole perception of me and my life.  It was August 13, 2016. I thought it's called enlightenment as I got answer of lot of my questions. But later after talking to the person, whom I met in India, I realized it's start of my journey toward nothing. I had achieved first stage in journey towar...

You are just an Iron

You are just an Iron. You get attracted to magnets all around you. You have to become magnet to attract things. But you have to complete the journey of becoming magnet from Iron. It's not easy; you have to electrify yourself long enough to become magnet. But before you have to decide if at all you want to be a magnet or continue to live like Iron. -Mani Bhooshan
