How to Ease Your Shoulders on “Migraine Relief Code” with Dr. Amelia Barrett

I had a great time talking about Headache and Migraine Somatic Self-Care with holistic neurologist Amelia Scott Barrett, MD, on her Migraine Relief Code channel. Dr. Barrett has a wonderful listening presence and participated wholeheartedly in the self-care techniques I shared, which makes for a lively, interactive video.

Headaches or not, these practices will help to relieve those tight, sore shoulders we all get from extended screen time, so I hope you’ll do them along with us and that it’s helpful! Let me know in comments how it goes, or if you have any questions — and please feel free to share! Thanks and enjoy!

To work with me by web cam for headaches, migraine, pain, stress, tension, or trauma, contact me to schedule a Free consultation.

Hands-on Headache Healing

“Go ahead and close your eyes” I said in a calm, soft voice. “I’m just going to put my hands on your head.” I draped one hand delicately on the front of her head, the other on the back. My fingers listened for and were drawn to a pulsation. Stronger than a regular pulse, it had an electrical quality, almost like mini-explosions on her forehead. I held lightly, meeting the pulse at its own level of amplitude, and felt it fight back. I intensely focused my attention on the spot under my finger. “That’s where I feel it,” she affirmed as I did battle with the headache.

When the pulsations quieted in front, I felt the “emptying-out” at the back and knew it was over. She opened her eyes, blinking in the light, saying, “I felt it move from the left to the right, then gather up and evaporate—right here,” pointing to the back of her head.

Her report matched the real-time “bio-feedback” I’d felt in my hands, heard through her words, and seen in embodied signals during the process. The sensations I’d felt correlated with her various states of pain and relief.

This week I’ll be announcing new programs that train headache patients and professionals in the Mundo Method of headache and migraine relief therapy. If you’re interested in receiving the information, please contact me using the contact form on this site or write to jmundo@headachehealing dot com.
