  • I have to hold everything together perfectly.

Healing Notes

Migraines often reflect emotional overload, mental rigidity, perfectionism, and cognitive pressure. GNM associates migraines with territorial, intellectual, injustice, or cortical conflicts. Louise Hay connects them with self-criticism and resistance to flow, while Karol Truman emphasizes punishment patterns and suppressed anger. Spiritually, migraines may symbolize blocked insight, over-identification with the mind, or attempting to carry burdens that were never meant to be carried alone.
