Menopausal Headache? –Try Head Swinging

by Karen L. Semmelman, Certified EEMCLP, JD, AAML(03-12)

 

Over the last several weeks tools for dealing with menopause have been explored. Remember this special time of your life when hormones are changing and offering so many opportunities for exploration and “inventing your new self”—I can attest to these shifts given my change in career from a high powered matrimonial lawyer to this second career as an EEM teach and practitioner. It is fun, but sometimes scary to embrace change, but that is what menopause is all about, right— change???blue jelly fish in water from Julie

Today’s focus is headaches that accompany menopause, which may originate from many causes:  stress in life; progesterone imbalances; sleep patterns disrupted—all impact headaches. We know from prior columns that the Crown Pull, part of the 5 minute routine (and found at page 58 of Energy Medicine for Women) releases trapped tension in our head by literally making space in the sutures of our skull; so this is a great exercise to use as a first line defense to the menopausal headaches. If not enough add the Pendulum Head Swing and see if this helps. Plus find more suggestions in the book!

  1. Inhale deeply and on the exhale, drop you head forward toward the chest while relaxing the shoulders
  2. Inhale while gently moving the right ear toward the right shoulder while keeping your shoulders relaxed and squared off. A nice stretch is experienced in the left side of the neck. Take 3 deep breaths
  3. On exhale, allow the head to gently move to the chest and place the left ear over the left shoulder with relaxed shoulders. Take 3 breaths.
  4. Let the head gently fall to the chest. Repeat 2 more times

Feeling Angry at the World or Have Headaches – Trace Gallbladder Meridian

Posted on by

oct18

Yang Gallbladder (GB) meridian’s Yin partner is Liver and together they govern muscle, tendons, ligaments and nails. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine view, this pear-shaped organ is viewed as a wise and prudent judge, ruling the body with careful decisions and impeccable judgment. GB regulates reckless or impulsive behavior. Out of balance, a person with GB symptoms will resonate with angry behavior directed toward the world. Physical manifestations may include: arthritis; lateral eye pain; gallstones; migraine headaches; one sided headaches; temple headaches; hip problems; jaw pain; or knee problems; nervousness (GB governs the Nervous System). Notice how many of these issues follow the GB pathway!

As a Reminder, view the August 9 and 16th Columns, since the basics of tracing are set forth.

Meridian Flow Wheel Time of day. GB meridian’s high tide is 11 PM to 1 AM. We always begin and end by tracing Central and Governing meridians before starting to trace the other meridians. If you begin tracing your meridians at 11 30 PM, then begin with GB.

Reasons to Trace Alone in Addition to Tracing All Meridians. Although it is best to trace all your meridians as one continuous flow, you may want to trace GB if you have some of the symptoms listed in the opening paragraph above or if you experience sedative abuse; stimulant abuse; have strain injuries; grind your teeth; or have TMJ.

Affirmation for this Meridian is “I assert myself peacefully…and release judgment easily”. Remembering that matter follows energy, stating a positive thought shifts the energy just by the intention-this is the metaphysical fabric of life! We are all part of that pure fabric of existence so reap its benefits.

It is very effective visit over here cost of viagra against fungus, Yeast and viral infections. Presence of boswellic acid in shallaki prevents indigestion, cures constipation, improves the vision of eyes and relieves stomach disorders. canadian cialis no prescription Penile erection and ejaculation are improved once you cialis tadalafil online and start taking it regularly. It can be generic levitra india used by men of all age groups.

Pathway of Meridian. The second longest meridian, it is one of the most complicated. Follow along while looking at the diagram. For this one, do both sides at the same time. Begin by placing your fingers on the outside of your eyes; trace to the ear opening; make a loop above the ear by bringing fingers forward in a circle; then bring fingers behind the ears; stop and bring fingers to the front of the forehead; stop and take fingers over the crown of the head down the back of the neck and behind the shoulders; move fingers to the back and trace to the outside edge of the breast tissue and to the bottom of your ribs, then in at the waist; back on the waist; now trace forward onto the hips and then straight down the outside of the legs and off the 4th toe. Whew-quite a feat! That’s it. You just traced Gallbladder meridian!!

Flushing or Tracing the Meridian Backwards. Remember that if there is too much energy in a meridian, you may want to trace it backwards and see if that makes you feel better. If experiencing pain or dis-ease in the area of a meridian, it is likely that removing the energy from the meridian will provide relief. If it does, then trace it backwards 3 times, but NEVER TRACE HEART BACKWARDS. If it seems there is not enough energy in your meridian then trace it forward 3 times. If you feel better, this is what was needed. Experience the impact of the energetic shifts. To flush a meridian, as if you are de-clogging a pipe, trace the meridian once backwards to loosen the sludge and then trace the meridian forward 3 times. Flushing really helps reset the meridian’s balance.

You are set. Keep this Column as a reminder of how to trace Gallbladder while you learn the next 5 meridians over the next two months!

TODAY’S TOPIC –  HEADACHES – CLOGGED ENERGY IN YOUR HEAD

Headache is defined in WordNet English dictionary as a noun that is: “1. Pain in the head caused by dilation of cerebral arteries or muscle contractions or a reaction[to] drugs 2. Something or someone that causes anxiety; a source of unhappiness..“

From an Energy Medicine perspective, energy wants to move and needs space. If compressed or pressed (i.e. dilation of arteries or muscle contraction), energy surrounding the arteries or muscles can’t dynamically flow. Remember the soft spot on a baby’s head and the sutures that must knit together to provide solid bone structure for protection of the brain? These same sutures remain present in our skull as adults. It is noted in wiki.answers.com “In adult life the main function of sutures is to distribute impact force evenly around the skull. The collagen present in the interfacial layer coupled with the jagged interlocking joints distributes impact force evenly across the entire length of the sutures and connecting bone…….”

Thus, trapped energy is moved out of the head at the suture points since they are not solid bone, but are interlocking joints. Using the structure of the body enables it to heal itself through simple technique. The following EM exercise works for chronic headaches and takes about 2 minutes to complete:

THE ISOMETRIC PRESS FOR CHRONIC HEADACHES

Step 1. As you tilt your head to the right, place your right palm against the right side of your head, over the suture line. While taking a deep breath and holding it, push you head and your hand against each other.

Step 2. As you slowly release your breath, remove your hand and stretch your head toward your right shoulder. Repeat Step 1 and 2 two times

Step 3. Switch to your left side and follow Steps 1 and 2 for 3 turns.

Step 4. With your head positioned straight over your spine, place the pads of all eight fingers on the boney structure at the back of your head right at the base of the skull. As you take a deep breath, push your fingers and head toward each other.

Step 5. As you slowly release your breath open your jaw as you drop your hands to your lap. Take a deep breath in through your mouth; jut your bottom jaw forward while pulling it to meet your upper jaw. Release the breath, open your mouth and let the jaw relax

Step 6. Repeat Step 5, but as you release the breath, let your head fall forward toward your chest.

Step 7. On an in breath, place your palms against your forehead as you push them into the forehead in an upward motion, while you push your head down toward your chest. On an out breath, release palms while head continues to drop farther toward chest. Do 2 more times. On the 3rd round, on the out breath, lock your fingers behind your head and use your elbows to slowly gently pull your head downward.

Feel better already? This is one exercise for a chronic headache. Other techniques to address allergy headaches or tension headaches, or sinus headaches are available.
