Migraine

I endured my second official migraine earlier today (unofficial being the ones I don't recall) after the first early 2005. That time, I initially thought it was merely due to lack of sleep so I slept long, long hours to make the extreme headache go away but it didn't. And then I remember asking Baba (Antonio Fernandes) on how to go about it. His response was, "You've gone beyond sleep as a cure, my friend. This one requires time off and relaxing moment like spending time in Jacuzzis or spas or something."

I took his advice and slowly strode towards 8-days-a-week as I always did when I was hungry. I spent that quiet afternoon all by myself not thinking about anything. I was just gazing at the surroundings. Nodding to the shop owner, a signal on how good the food was. And then I walked back to the lonely apartment not realizing that the migraine had gone. Lo and behold, it worked.

Give yourself a break. Give yourself a credit.
