Headache & Migraine Relief For Deep Sleep

If you're having trouble falling asleep from a headache or migraine, this meditation will give you space to fully feel the pain, allowing it to disperse and release. This practice is concluded with a Tibetan singing bowl and about 15 minutes of calming music for you to drift away too. I hope you're able to find relief and have a healing night's sleep, namaste.

Transcript

Find yourself in a comfortable position laying down.

Take your time arriving.

Let your body shift until you find a place where you can fully relax.

Fidgeting as much as you need to until you find comfort.

And then when you're ready,

Release yourself into stillness.

Dedicate yourself to stay in this stillness for the remainder of practice,

Allowing the mind to open to new places that movement can inhibit.

Allow your eyelids to be heavy and closed if they aren't already.

Calling the shades on the windows of the body,

Turning the gaze inward.

Let the forehead soften as you feel any tension in the face melt away.

Feel the cheeks,

The jaw,

And the tongue all let go,

Surrendering into their natural position.

Let the eyes sink back and down as the forehead expands even more.

Let the brain rest and be cradled by the back of the skull.

Release the need to hold anything up.

Trust that you are supported.

Allow every cell of your body to be supported by the earth beneath you.

Trust that you are safe.

Feel the softness of your head and face expand down the neck and the shoulders.

Let the shoulders rest down and back.

Feel all the muscles in the neck and shoulders surrender to this call to rest.

Allow the sense of release to wrap around to your chest and heart center.

Breathing into the rhythm of your own heartbeat.

Let the beating of your heart travel down your arms,

The muscles in the arms surrendering as the beating travels into the palms of your hands.

Notice the pulsing in the palms of both hands and all ten fingers.

Feel the heartbeat expand down and across your chest,

Encompassing the lungs and the rib cage.

Let this pulse continue to travel down the torso and into the stomach.

Allow any tension in the stomach to soften.

Allow your pelvic floor to soften.

Allow your glutes to soften.

Let the sense travel down the legs,

Feeling all the muscles roll off of their bones.

Feeling the full weight of your legs.

Notice the pulsing sensation in the soles of your feet and each of your ten toes.

Notice the blood running through every inch of your body.

As you become aware of the entire body,

Notice any areas where pain is present.

Release the need to change the way you are feeling.

Practice acceptance.

Accept whatever feelings are present,

No matter how painful.

Cultivate a sense of curiosity to the pain.

Detaching yourself as best you can,

Being kind,

Gentle and patient with yourself.

Notice the breath moving gently in and out of your nose.

Without changing anything about the breath,

Simply notice the air the moment it hits each of your nostrils.

Notice the air travel through the nasal cavity and into the root of the nose at the space between your eyebrows.

Observe the sensations as the air hits your pineal gland,

Feeling the signal of release spread across your forehead.

Letting the sense sink down into the skull,

Into the brain and into the scalp.

Each breath you take,

Allow the air to travel into the area of your head,

Experiencing pain or discomfort.

Hear the pain call in your breath.

Fill in this healing life force energy.

Challenge any urge to run away from the pain you're experiencing.

Let go of the need to change,

Fix or eliminate any sense of pain.

Trust that feeling the pain or discomfort fully is all that is needed of you.

Feel the breath being magnetized to this area,

Fulfilling the request for help.

Feel the breath as a filter,

Drawing out any impurities and filling those spaces with peace and love.

Let this process occur as you surrender to and trust the natural intelligence of your breath and body.

Allow the pain to disperse more and more with each breath.

Feel the full weight of your body,

The full weight of your eyes,

The full weight of your brain and allow yourself to rest.

Reviews

This really eased the pain I was feeling. Accepting the pain seemed to ease it.
Thank you 🙏

Drifted off to a peaceful sleep, and tension headache I've had since yesterday day now but a whisper. Thank you!

Super wonderful! Thank you – what a beautiful meditation :-) have a great day!!!

Thank you! I went to sleep quickly and when I woke hours later, and my headache was gone.❤️

Very relaxing and calming. The pain has lessened. My muscles are a little more relaxed. Thank you.

Still have headache My body is quite resistant to letting go right now… man, how frustrating

Thank you. This meditation was very calming and helped me relax as I waited for my migraine reliever to take effect.

I woke early with a headache and played this meditation. As the practice progressed I watched the stress leave my body gradually as I listened to Ruthie’s words. I hadn’t expected to receive such relief from the headache and to experience calm. I can only say thank you so very much, Ruthie 🙏🏽

This meditation helped me so much. I suffer from chronic headaches and I had been dealing with particularly terrible migraines for the past 2 days. I was feeling hopeless and decided to give this a try. It calmed me down enough that I was able to sleep soundly and I woke up with no pain at all. Still in disbelief. Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

I was suffering from a terrible migraine & this put me into such a peaceful sleep & I woke up feeling GREAT! Thank you so much!🤍

Thank you so kindly for this practice❣️⚛️⚘️☄️
It's a great offering for difficulties with pain or migraine days❣️⚛️⚘️☄️🙏🏽✨️✨️✨️

I just love this. Your voice is soothing and just the way you paint pictures with your words is a gift. Thank you.

I wasn’t sure this was going to work while experiencing the headache pain. With Ruthie’s guidance I was able to breathe into the tension and release the pain through acceptance and breath.

Loved it, i just love anything Ruthie does, great teacher, great style

I think it worked because my headache was gone when I woke up! 😊 Thank-you 💙

Felt so much better after listening to this. Thanks for sharing this.😊🧡☮️🙏🏻

This was my first time of listening to this. I'm impressed as even though I still have my mild tension headache I did fall asleep and missed the end of this meditation.

Immensely helpful 🙏🙏
Thank you so much 🤗
Your gentle voice & knowledgeable guidance make your meditations special 💜☯️

This is a fabulous meditation! I felt Reiki flowing through my hands before she even brought up pulsing in the hands. I fell asleep! Highly recommend this

Must have drifted off! Headache is softening. I will listen once more. Thank you 💫🙏
