Re: suggestions regarding headaches

[Guest guest]

Well, Mike, this is exactly what I was looking for. I do have the

Gach book, and I now remember looking up headache before, but being

in the fog I'm in today, I didn't think of looking at my book. Dumb!

Can you tell me how long I should hold the spots? Is it just until I

feel the pain go away? Will these techniques prevent headache as

well, or just relieve the pain?

At the end, as I was writing my first post, it finally came to me,

that you would probably have the answer I need. Thanks Mike, again,

for all your help! I will do these tonight. I think the one I need

right now, is the tension headache.

I really appreciate your advice!

Love Lana

tension headache.

-----------------

(1) How long do you hold? Well, for me, it is usually less than a

couple of minutes for the headache to go bye bye. I generally, on

any of these (acupressure or polarity) say to " hold for a balance "

if you can feel the energy. If you can't feel it, then 2-3

minutes.

(2) Why wait until tonight? If you still have the headache, do the

tension points now. The GB 20's are about one finger width on

either side of the spine, right at the base of the skull. The B

10's are about three finger widths down from the base of the skull,

right along the spine. Reach back behind with three fingers of each

hand and push the pad of your ring fingers up into the occipital

ridge (base of the skull). Have the pads of your pointer fingers

just at the edge of the spine. By using all three fingers of each

hand in this position, you will be on the spots.

(3) Can they prevent headaches? I would have to say yes, based on

my own experience with them. When I first started doing them, it

was for immediate pain relief when I was suffering from a skull

pounder. Once I saw that they were actually working, I started

doing them at the first hint of a headache. After a couple of

months I suddenly realized that I wasn't getting them anymore. Like

I said in the earlier email, I simply don't get headaches to speak

of anymore. And for having been brutalized by them for half of my

adult life, that is a pretty darn good feeling.

(4) My personal, favorable, experience with using acupressure for my

own headache relief was what got me started down this heavy duty

continuting education path.

Hi Mike,

DUH! I'm just not thinking clearly right now. I printed off your

reply and will try this! I think I have a circle thing going on - I

have muscle tension in the shoulders and back, then get the

headache,take something for that, end up with a different headache,

and get more tense because I have another damn headache, etc. etc.

Sorry for the naughty language, but that's what I feel right now! I

appreciate you telling me where the points are, Mike and how long to

hold, since I'm at work and don't have access to my book. I'd bring

it to work, but I'm afraid I'd leave it here and then would need it

at home!
