How to Stop an On-Coming Migraine in 30 Minutes

This powerful and fast protocol can help you stop a migraine attack in the early stages in 15-30 minutes. It's called Stop Drop Roll and Smile. Watch this video and keep this protocol in mind anytime you start to feel a migraine or headache coming on.

Step #1

Stop what you are doing so you can be completely present with your current physical state and stop stimulating the nervous system. No phone, no computer, no TV. Provide super hydration that your brain and body need, right now. “Super” hydration is water with natural glucose and minerals from juices or high water-content fruits such as orange juice, coconut water, celery or celery juice, or watermelon.

Step #2

Your breath into your belly and breathe as you expand your diaphragm with slow, calm, deep breaths. Drop your awareness into your body, to ground and relax your nervous system. Spend as long as you need doing diaphragmatic breathing. Drop your jaw and shoulders to release tension.

Step #3

Roll out the tension in your shoulders on a foam roller or hard surface edge, or get someone to give you 10 minutes of deep shoulder, neck, and back rubbing. Relax the jaw, drop the shoulders, and focus on calming your emotions. Move the spine by stretching, dancing, or moving in a gentle and comfortable way to circulate spinal fluid.

Step #4

Smile and feel gratitude to wash away cortisol. The act of smiling and feeling gratitude releases

serotonin, which replaces the stress hormone cortisol. Think of things and people in your life you are thankful for and smile!

Do not skip this step!

Learn how having a feeling of gratitude changes your physiology.

Learn more about how when your body is in a parasympathetic state (also known as "Rest and Digest") your body grows new cells. When your body is in "Fight or Flee" state of stress, it does not grow new cells.

The power of mindfulness connects your brain to your body and allows your central nervous system to be in a relaxed state. This state of being is powerful and necessary for healing and cell regeneration.

Many Migraine suffers also have neck pain. Does this happen to you?

Stress, injuries, poor posture, and other environmental factors can cause neck tension which can trigger a migraine. One of the most common early warning signs of a migraine attack is neck pain.

Small daily habits such as physical therapy exercises, frequent stretching, good posture, self-care, getting grounded, taking regular breaks from work, and massage, can greatly help those who are prone to neck related migraines. In some cases, neck related migraines can also be cause by muscle tension constricting blood vessels and pinching nerves in the neck and jaw.

Learn exactly why self-care is so critical to preventing migraines.

This video will walk you through exactly what to do when you feel a migraine starting. If you catch a migraine early on you can stop an attack. At the end of this video there is a 20 minute guided migraine meditation.
