Holistic Help for Headaches

Healing for headaches, migraines and eye strain can be linked to one of the key energy centres - called 'chakras' - the Third Eye or Brow Chakra.

Energy has many meanings but in the context of your wellbeing and health (from a complementary therapist viewpoint) it refers to the flow of energy/life within, around and through your *energy system. The brow chakra is an energy centre located at the brow between and slightly above the eyebrows and is linked with your intuition, and your imagination.

(If you're unsure what chakras are - look at section on the website called 'chakras').

*Energy system consists of energy centres (chakras) and an energy field (aura).

All the energy centres (chakras) are important and work together. However the third eye chakra is linked to our inner sight or intuition. If the brow chakra is working effectively we are able to use our imagination, we can visualise things, people and places in our head. It is linked to the Pituitary gland in our brain (often known as the 'master gland') ears, eyes and nose. If this brow is overworking this can sometimes feel like a tight band of pressure around the head.

Equally if we ignore our intuition and believe only in the things in life we can see and touch physically, then we prevent a healthy flow of energy around and through this chakra. We become very rigid in our view of life.

When the brow chakra is balanced, it has a smooth frequency and the colour is a beautiful deep indigo blue and it's open to the correct size within the body.

If it is unbalanced (either over or under active), the energy may find it difficult to flow through this chakra as it is weak or too dominant. Some of the signals of a weak brow chakra are...

• indisciplined
• afraid of success
• over sensitive

Some of the signs of a brow chakra that is too strong are...

• overly proud
• dogmatic
• egomaniac

This is a chakra that is developed and balanced through regular visualisation practise.

Cleansing and balancing the brow chakra

Using a grounding visualisation technique can help to release a build up of energy around the brow chakra and take it down towards the ground so that the energy flows. Even activities like running, walking (around trees and greenery) or doing things around the house (physical not mental activity) will help some of it to flow. If the energy centre is blocked as a result of 'dogmatic views' or a refusal to see the big picture... then using visualisation techniques to 'open up' the 3rd eye chakra can help.

Headaches can also be linked to the crown chakra but this can be a persistent headache and links with a lack of motivation or spark of joy.
