I have horrible Migraines, how can i use meditation to help reduce the pain?

im 15 and know nothing about meditation. My doctor told me if i learn how to go about it correctly it could help alot with my migraines. So any tips?

I started meditating a few months ago to help with headaches, insomnia, and anxiety. Let me warn you… at first it is extremely difficult, because you have to go against everything you know.

Close your eyes and be in a comfortable position (preferably not lying down.)

Make sure that every part of your body is relaxed. Start at your head and move downward relaxing and calming every part of you.

After that, allow your thoughts to drift in and out of the mind without following them. The best way to do this is to concentrate on your breathing. Feel your chest expand and contract. Anytime your mind wanders, bring it right back to breathing.

Another thing you can do is picture something beautiful in your mind. I always picture a giant oak tree next to a stream. Keep your mind concentrated on that thing. If your mind wanders, go right back to this scene.

Good luck, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask =)

The Joy of Meditation: An Introduction to Meditation Techniques


The Joy of Meditation: An Introduction to Meditation Techniques


$10.55


This book is not about meditation; it is one on how to meditate. All too many books offer readers sparse instructions given in general terms. "Sit quietly, with your eyes closed. Regulate your breathing and still your mind; wait for the Voice of Silence to speak to you." Trouble is, without knowing what they’re doing, would-be meditators find it extremely difficult to sit still for five minutes, let alone twenty. Experienced meditators, knowing the techniques to use, go about their business as directly and purposefully as a skilled carpenter. The fact is that there is nothing vague about the process of meditation. In this classic work, author and teacher Justin F. Stone presents easy-to-follow instructions for many common forms of meditation, including Zazen (Zen Meditation), Japa (one of the oldest spiritual practices in India), Satipatthana (Mindfulness), Nei Kung (Buddhist Meditation), and Tibetan meditations. Meditation can be a powerful tool to improve health, sharpen concentration, reduce stress, and enhance spirituality. The Joy of Meditation was created as a simple book of instructions for using that tool.

2011 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Joel Goldsmith was a Christian spiritual healer in the 20th century who repeatedly taught about the importance of prayer and meditation. Goldsmith explains that God is within us; we need merely try to make contact. If we believed that the "kingdom of God is within us," he says, "we should be willing to leave the world for a season, until such time as we could reach, touch, and respond to the Father within." This short pamphlet outlines Goldsmith’s understanding of mediation and prayer.

This empowering CD will help the listener feel energized and uplifted by guiding you on a powerful healing journey through the 7 main energy centres of the body called the Chakras. You will hear angelic vocals and sounds tuned to the frequency of each chakra, while you visualize a healing process through each stage of the meditation. This process can also help to overcome disease, illness or discomfort by using the innate healing power within us all. Track 1 is a full 42 minute version, while track 2 is a 28 minute edited version of this powerful Chakra meditation. On both hypnotherapy sessions you will hear a pleasant English voice, angelic vocals and absorbing 60 bpm sound effects guiding you into a deeply relaxed state of mental and physical relaxation. In this very receptive relaxed state, you will be given a number of post-hypnotic suggestions and carefully layered affirmations. The background echoed affirmations pan from left to right in your headphones. This deeply relaxing method of delivering multiple suggestions simultaneously to the unconscious mind can facilitate positive changes very quickly. At the end of each track you will be grounded then gently brought back to full waking consciousness with a combination of suggestion and music. There are also a number of positive subliminal suggestions (listed on the inside cover), which are embedded in the fade out music and facilitate the overall effect. This powerful CD is a completely safe and very effective way of bringing about an uplifting feeling of health and well being in your mind, body and spirit.
