Migraine Headache Vanishes in 10 Minutes!!!

Last evening, during a class that I was participating in, "Laura" complained that she was having a hard time thinking because she had a migraine headache. During a fifteen minute break, I asked her if she still had the migraine, and she did. I asked her if she would be interested in getting rid of it and she said, "why, sure". I asked if it was OK to help her right there in the room with everybody milling around (there wasn't any privacy), and it was OK with her.

She described the pain as behind her right eye, and up the side of her neck. I asked if she had any idea what caused it. She said that she had missed her hair appointment, and she didn't like that. She said also she didn't like it that she had a migraine. I asked what the intensity of the pain was, and her SUDS level was 9 out of 10.

We didn't have much time. I was hoping that I would have a couple of minutes to eat a few of the snacks that were laid out on the table, and to do that, we would need to work quickly, effectively, and with intent. I asked her to rub her sore spot on her chest, while repeating after me:

"Even though I have a hard time thinking because I have a migraine headache and it really hurts. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
"Even though I missed my hair appointment and I didn't like that. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
"Even though I have a migraine headache and it hurts like hell. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

I had her begin with tapping her crown chakra (on the top of her head) with both hands saying, "releasing this migraine headache". The reminder phrase I asked her to use was "migraine headache", and I prompted her to say it as she tapped the spots on her head and face, collarbone, and under her arm. I noticed that the inner eye brow point seemed to be a "hot" one and had her tap it for an extra amount of time. I could see the tension relax in her face as she tapped that point. I was also working to get her laugh, and make noises with her breathing to help shift the energy.

After she finished tapping on the first round, I asked her to close her eyes to see how she felt. She said that she felt much better, and the pain had gone down to a 4. I then asked if any other information had come in, and she said that she had been worrying about money problems.

So, for the second round I instructed her to rub her sore spot and said:

"Even though I still have a migraine headache. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
"Even though I am worrying about money problems. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
"Even though I am worrying about money so much that it has made my head hurt. I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

Then I had her tap on her crown chakra saying, "remaining migraine headache pain". I then instructed her to tap on the other points on her head and face, collarbone, and under her arm. I had her alternate, "migraine headache" with "money problems" as her reminder phrase.

When she finished the second round she exclaimed, "The pain is gone!"
