Healing Headaches with the power of your mind is not only possible it is natural. There is certainly nothing wrong with taking aspirin or other pain killers to help ease a headache. But there are other ideas and internal process you can take to ease the pain. Use these approaches and ides along side of any medication you may be using from a doctor.

Here are a few suggestions that can help you in this self administered power of your mind method of dealing with the pain and discomfort associated with any headaches that you are experiencing.

First off, start thinking in terms of transforming a headache, instead of getting rid of it. Getting rid of it just adds more mental noise and judgmentent. Shift your attention from judging the headache to transmuting it.

Next, explore what a headache really is. Do not explore your idea of it, instead explore it. Feel it. It is there right? Feel it. Get a sense of the sensation. Go into it. It has been said many times that what you resist persists, and what you embrace you can erase. Approach your headache in this fashion. Give in to it. 

Giving into it is surrending to the fact that you have a headache. It does not mean you are being self-destructive. This does not mean you truly want to feel pain.  It just means that you want to accept the pain that you are feeling now.

Acceptance opens the door for a more spacious feeling in your brain. Acceptance of a headache flues a sensation of openness, and that is what brings about the healing. Openness is peace of mind. Openness is a calmness that surrounds the headache. Feel a sense of openness amidst the headache. This is how you heal headaches.

Healing headaches is not difficult, because openness is your natural resting state of awareness. Openness is like the ocean; your headache is like a floating piece of seaweed. Rest in the ocean and the headache will become far less intense.

So, the trick to healing headaches is to let the seaweed (headache) float in a sea of awareness. Be the observer of your headache, instead of being trapped in it. Being trapped in a headache is the pain. Stepping outside of the headache is freedom from it.

The best time to practice this is when you do not have a headache. Pretend that you do have one, from time to time. This may sound strange but it works. Feel your head. Feel as if you have a headache and then try to get a sense of being larger than the headache.

Then, next time you have a real headache, you will have gained some skills. Healing headaches happens when you become bigger than the pain. NO bigger in the sense of being able to withstand the pain; just bigger in  the sense of feeling bigger, feeling more expansive.

It seems to be an issue of "mind over mind" so to speak as you now have the skills to control the headache instead of just helplessly suffering. By all means, continue to take aspirin. But at a certain point you may find it not necessary
