Rather than taking pills for your minor headaches, with enough practice, you can temporarily ease the pain through simple meditation. Although only one out of every 10 people will be able to do this successfully, it will come as a great help to those people who can make it work.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Lie flat on your bed with a pillow under your head.
Step2
Focus on the pulse of your headache. Feel the dull throb and try to notice exactly where in your head it is located.
Step3
Try to will the throbbing to move south through your body, from your temples into your neck, then down to your chest.
Step4
Focus on feeling the throbbing in your chest for a bit and if you can keep it there (instead of letting it return to your head), then try to move it south yet again, either slowly down your arm and out your hand or slowly down your leg and out your foot.

Tips & Warnings

  • If the headache returns after sending it out your foot, try keeping the throbbing in your foot for a few minutes.
  • This is a difficult technique and takes a fair amount of practice. Try not to be discouraged if it doesn't work the first, second or third time.
