Colour therapy for Headache

Do you have a really bad headache after a stressful day? Sick of taking panadol for every time? If you do, you can try this method that works quite well for me. I call this method visualising colour therapy.

You only need about 10 to 15 minutes alone to do this exercise in the bus, trains, garden or your bedroom. If you find the surroundings too noisy or distracting, look for a quiet spot. As for me, I find it quite comfortable doing this exercise in the train because I often sleep through the journey. Close your eyes and take turns to visualize these four colours, one at a time; starting with red, yellow, blue and then green. Do this slowly to focus on each colour and repeat the cycles.

As you visualize, imagine that you are surrounded by the intensity of the colour. You may experience the intensity on your head as you visualize red and yellow colour. This is perfectly normal because you will deepen the relax the moment you switch to blue and green colour. Each colour has its own functions.
In case you find it hard to visualise the colour, the colour chart above should be able to help you as a guide. From my personal experience, I found:-

Red- pressure on pain points,
Yellow- release the pain points that seems to unblock the passage or path of the veins
green - to bring the passage or vein paths to a 'let-go' mode,
blue - to widen or relax the vein paths.

You may need to do a few cycles of visualizing until you feel the tension in your head starts to fade away. Sometimes, you might subconsciously identify th other parts of your body that is not relax and you can then release the tension on the spot. So far, the four colours work fine for me but for variety, you may add more colours. Be headache free
