My very first migraine was also the first night that I was awakened to K and
higher states. I have experienced the highs and lows - I guess the majority
of us have. Goes with the territory. When all this stuff started happening I
started to doubt my sanity but since then I've had too many validations to
downplay what I think as just an overactive imagination. I bet a lot of us
have doubted are sanity at one time, and really how could you not. It's such
a materialistic society that we live in and when you experience something as
superlogical as this it changes everything in your life. Caffine is
definitely a trigger for migraines despite what you hear. Every bit of
information that I've read about migraine triggers contradicts everything
I've read before so I just trust my experiences. Plus everyone will have
different triggers anyway. That is good that you gave up those things, I bet
that really helps.
Early in the history of this list, we noticed how many
of us had history of
migraine and/or epilepsy (thought by some to be
related). My migraines have
been made much worse and more frequent by K. But, like
you, I have had
incredible experiences of vision before and during
migraine (so did
Hildegarde of Bingen, by the way). There is even a new
novel about this
correlation by Mark Salzman about a nun whose visions
are "cured" by migraine
treatment. This is not to say that I think visions are
caused by migraine
activity because I've had plenty of them during normal
times, too. But I
think the electrochemical changes during
migraine/kundalini allow us to see
further. I'm reading a book that expresses similar
ideas called "Touched
With Fire," by Kay Jamison about creativity and
manic-depression. Another
commonality among many k-ites is the surge of highs and
lows with awakening.
It all seems connected somehow and quite amazing!
On a more pedestrian note, after giving up alcohol and
sugar, I'm now giving
up caffeine because this apparently can be a migraine
trigger. I'll let you
know!! Holly
