Method 1

Three people with migraine have found success with this, none of whom had ever experienced success any other way in their long history of migraine. One totally eliminated her migraine by doing it at the VERY FIRST MOMENTS of the beginning of her migraine, and the other two who tried it after the migraiine had fully set in. However the drawback is that it took longer than the people who stared at the tv snow (described in my other thread) with the sound off, method 1.

Putting our hands in the same position as the fetus places his hands in the womb most commonly, up like a boxer, near the chin or clavicle. hold it reasonably still, nothing in the hand, one hand is fine, no need for both, both are only slightly better, and if lying down on your back, you can rest your hand on your upper chest, but curl your fingers so your fllat palm doesnt rest on your upper chest, only the back of your fingers and the heal of your palm will be resting on your chest, wihich is stronger in effect. .

This aspect of the fetal position is enormously healing. However it will not work I have found, if you smoked a cigarette on the day you treat, or if you are near man made radiation from cell phone, computer equipment, or a flat screened tv. or a modern radio. The flat screened tv radiation can stop the body from being beneficially stimulated up to 17 feet away from it I have found. Things that suppress the immune system, as do any drug that affects the nervous system, like the synthetic opiate pain killers, will greatly reduce the beneficial effect I have found.

Lying flat has a bad effect on the brain, according to a book written by two college professors, and I agree in my experience, so see if you can lie with your upper body and of course your head elevated. You dont want to elevate only your head TOO much,and not the upper body because too much of an angle reduces oxygen to the brain. Do this fetal hand thing hour after hour and it should gradually,steadily cure your migraine, and some improvement occurs during the first half hour as per the experience of the others who tried it.

Method 2

IF I sit or lie in a pitch black room, absolutely zero light, which can probably only be achieved in a very very dark room AND also putting something opaque over the eyes, like two sweater sleeves, so not one scintilla of light comes in, and then keeping the eyes OPEN all the time, if you close them except to blink, even momentarily, the effect will be lost. WHat this does is create a form of sensory deprivation which perhaps imitates what occurs in the womb and at about the twenty minute mark of doing this does trigger beneficial healing I have found and puts me in an altered state, which triggers the healing if I continue to do it. Studies back this up re sensory stimulation, re the altered state, This has not yet been tried for migraine, but it has a shot, I have some indication that theta waves are created by doing this, a very healing state so says the internet..

Method 3

This one worked for me in my one migraine. At the very first sign of the migraine, I closed my eyes in a dark room and visualized an object in my minds eye,I knew from before that this puts me iinstantly iin an altered state of some sort, again perhaps theta. I used my thumbnail to visualize, try that first, and when I was able to bring that vision of my thumbnail in my minds eye into perfect focus, zero fuzziness, total clarity, the same as looking at your thumbnail or whatever object you choose, maybe something from your garden , when your eyes are open, whoosh my migraine instantly totally aborted. Perhaps too this can be successful even on a more intrrenched migraine. One person I knew did try this for a full blown migraine after it had been firmly established and said she just couldnt bring the object in clearly. One thing that has helped me to bring my thumbnail in clearly if I am otherwise unable to do so, is to stare at my thumbnail with my eyes open and then quickly close them such that the image remaiins clear in my mind for a second or two.

Hope one of these works for someone.
