SEVERE MIGRAINE HEADACHE RECOVERY

by Saundra C. Blum, MS, CHT, PLRT

BACKGROUND

In December 2005, a woman (I will call, Susan) came to me presenting symptoms of severe migraine headaches. During a history intake she informed me that since her baby had been born, three months earlier, she had been getting 17 migraines a week. When asked when she first remembered getting the first margarine in this life, she recounted it happening at the onset of her first menstruation. However, she would only get them once a month and only one day of her period.

Susan told me she had been to many doctors, especially neurologists, to seek their help. They found nothing organically wrong with her and only offered pain killers. She felt that they didn't help and that she could not function with her new baby in this pain. When a headache would come on she would have to go to bed, with blinds shut and the room darkened. Often she would vomit due to the pain. She said this made her feel “trapped.”

I received additional history about her family, her husband and the child birth, none of which seemed suspicious regarding the headaches.

TREATMENT

She agreed to use hypnosis to assist her unconscious mind to go to the root of the migraines. After the hypnotic induction she went into a past lifetime in the early 1800s. She saw herself living in a small house in the country, on a farm. When I asked to look back over the first 10 years of her life to see if anything significant happened, she contracted, and started crying. She said her father had raped her after her mother passed away. She was 13-years old. She became pregnant, and felt “trapped” and ashamed. She stayed at home most of the time doing chores and dissociating to cope.

Through breath work and visualization I instructed her to release the feeling of being “trapped” and the deep shame she carried.

As I progressed her further to 15-years-old , she saw herself walking in town with her baby. Feeling out of her body, she got hit by a horse and wagon. She hit her head on the street and died. Death came so fast she had no time to think of anything.

I instructed Susan to find a guide in the spiritual dimension so we could ask some questions. When she found her guide, I instructed her to ask how that life affected her mirgraines in this life. She was told that the rape, pregnancy, and death were all tied together. The head trauma at death resulted as she carried the trauma of conception. This explained why she presented with headaches both at menstruation and after child birth. The body’s cellular memory was triggerd by her connection to age and the conception of her baby. Conception and head trauma once again revisited.

RESULTS

Susan called several months after our session to inform me that her migraines had disappeared but that she occasionally still gets headaches. After the trance induction I instructed her to ask her guide how many lifetimes she needed to release to clear the headaches, she was told three more. She successfully released the trauma in those three lifetimes. She can now function as a mother and wife, without feeling ‘trapped,” or in severe pain.

Susan's doctors are amazed that she no longer suffers from migraine headaches.
