The Spiritual Cause of Migraines
Healing the emotional or spiritual cause of migraines begins with understanding where it first originated. Before I explain more about this, let’s first look at the symptoms. A common migraine is a severe, recurring headache, usually affecting one side of the head, characterized by sharp pain and often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or visual disturbance. A classic migraine is a common migraine with aura, which consists of blurred vision, muddled thinking, exhaustion, worry and numbness or tingling on one side of the body.
By applying Energetic Wisdom methods I have had a high success rate in releasing the root causes of migraines.
These are some of the emotional or spiritual causes of migraines.
- May have been made to feel stupid for expressing their own needs.
- Resulting in hypersensitivity to criticism, with a fear of rejection and abandonment.
- There may also be a longing for the mothers’ love which they felt was missing.
- If there was any sexual abuse or suppression in the formative years, migraines can be the result, as abuse is a form of disempowerment.
- The sacroiliac area can hold suppressed past trauma and grief.
- When our true value is suppressed or withdrawn, which can result in not feeling good enough there will be a need to prove oneself, and seeking perfection.
- We can pressurise ourselves, as we take over the pressure that we experienced in our childhood. There can be a fear of failure and even success at times creating a reason to avoid work, school, or even sex.
- Thinking about situations can overload and overwhelm the head with unnecessary information, resulting in repressed rage and frustration. In this situation, it is easy to become rigid, intolerant and duty-dominated with a resultant dislike of being driven and resisting the flow of life.
- Positively, it is time to accept that you no longer have to prove anything and instead of “swimming upstream” you can relax into the flow of life. Although you believed that you were not allowed to be who you wanted to be, realize that it is now your choice and it is never too late to express that amazing true self.
The overall picture which revolves around migraines is a situation where one of not allowing the true self to live according to his or her true nature.
As I work in the realm of energy healing and metaphysics, I look for the root cause that instigated the migraines in the first place.

Migraines are often resolved in just one appointment.
Our subconscious minds accumulate all our emotions and feelings over a lifetime. They are then expressed mentally, emotionally, and, eventually physically in a last desperate need to express the hidden, painful truth.

My work as a Soul Whisperer is to help communicate with the soul’s needs. After more than 30 years as a therapist, I have devised my own unique and efficient ways of achieving this.
TESTIMONIAL from Debbie from Hampshire
I had a 1 to 1 with Tony and I can honestly say I felt a huge weight had been taken off my shoulders. Tony has a lovely way about him that makes you totally relax. He’s given me more bouce in my step and I hardly get a migraine now which I had suffered with for many years. Thank you, Tony.

About My Work & How I Could Help You
My work as a Soul Whisperer is to help you to communicate with your soul’s needs and desires. Your current health challenges are a result of a build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming, often from your childhood. Your soul expresses these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts.
Should you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and harder for you to ignore. They then become manifestations of pain, discomfort, or ill health. Your soul must find a way to get you to take action.
Your soul probably brought you to my website today!

Hi Tony,
I’m generally healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle, but I’m tortured by recurrent headaches. I don’t think it’s migraines, but they really affect my life. I also have developed early cataracts in both eyes, which I’m trying to improve naturally. I saw comments about knees, and I had a left knee injury about three years ago when I faced a situation where I was forced to make a choice I did not agree with. Are these related? What can I do?
Hi Natalie,
Whether it is headaches or migraines they may be a way of avoiding something you do not want to do or someone you want to avoid. When forced to make a choice the body may express your opposition.
The eyes relate to seeing the future as dark. You may find that when you do address your problems in a joyful, optimistic way, the physical are no longer needed to express your resistance.
After studying the ancient teachings I’ve made it a goal of this life to become as deeply awakened to my truth self as much as I can while hexed in time.
Migraines are the last physical body in my body that I need to heal. After having episodes since I’ve began the process I’ve been medicated with cGRP blockers to include the monthly shot to try and make them go away but they always resulted in not working.
After reading just the article, I had another breakthrough. This isn’t such much for advice, but more for a thank you. Another reminder that when we think we are done, there is always more to learn.
As within, so Above.
Love,
You.
Glad to hear that you have had a breakthrough.
Warm wishes
I don’t get the pain, but I get migraine auras. Visual and speech disturbances. It started after the birth of my first child in 2012, went away for years and now I’ve had 2 episodes in the last 2 months after having another baby. I’ve done a lot of self healing, but I’m hard on myself and I’m a worrier. I’ve struggled with anxiety as well, although it has improved a ton. I do believe there’s a spiritual component, as well, but would love your feedback.
Hi Kelly, having a baby can trigger memories of your own birth and childhood where worries and anxieties were present. I have had a great deal of success when helping clients release the pressure behind the anxiety.
Warm wishes
Hi Tony,
Google brought me to your website, because I was looking for an opinion about menstrual migraines. The first 30 years of my life I have suffered from chronic stress, which caused a lot of health problems and migraines. For the last 7 years the stress is releasing and I started to have other health problems. A non-alcoholic fetty liver disease which has been very hard to heal. But with a lot of alternative therapy it healed. That was a almost 2 years ago. But since a few months now I have menstrual migraines and biliary colic attacks once a month. I’m so grateful my health is better, but at the same time I feel very frustrated that my health never has been able to fully stabilize. What is your vision on this?
Hi Joelle,
There has been an ancestral program that has manifested itself strongly in your mother, who had been battling a bitter war against herself and others. This resulted in your time in the womb feeling emotionally toxic and filled with resentment, bitterness and anger ( not necessarily towards you}. This may have been an experience that your mother felt in her mother’s womb. The reminder is menstrual migraines.
Warm wishes
Hi Tony,
Just googleing while having a migraine, third day in a row. Don’t know what’s going on in my head these days. I am exhausted 🙁
Hello Monika, I feel a session would be very beneficial for you. https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
Hi Tony,
I have suffered with migraines in my early 20’s and again for past 10 years in my 40’s. I have Hypermobility & Fibromyalgia and I was born with 1 kidney.
I have done alot of work therapeutically and yet, my migraines persist.
I had a very difficult & traumatic childhood and abandonment runs through the generations.
How do I feel what my migraines are expressing?
Hi Cara,
Our bodies, literally, express how we feel. You came into this world as a sensitive child, as you you were already carrying your mother’s pain and anxiety. Hypermobility is “carrying your heart on your sleeve”. For kidney problems there is always anger and resentment due to abandonment and rejection in childhood.
You will have been pressurised in your childhood and any pressure will remind you of your childhood, and yet, you pressurise yourself to achieve. The more you pressurise yourself, the more you feel stuck or held back (fibromyalgia).
As yo state, there is a big ancestral program running in the background. When the feelings are addressed, the physical messengers are no longer needed.
Hi there- I’ve been suffering with what they believe might be vestibular migraine after I had a concussion last year. I fainted after having C Diff from knee surgery. Not to mention a 3 month long yeast infection after the hardcore antibiotics. When I fainted, I broke my septum and my right front tooth; and knocked my other front tooth back. It’s been 16 months of lots of stress. Having my eyes checked soon (for prisms maybe) and also going to an ENT to get more testing. Mri if neck and brain were normal. Not sure what’s next, but I’m an acupuncturist and don’t want to go on meds. I’ve been using custom blended Chinese herbs for internal wind/excess heat/ yin deficiency and dampness. Would love some thoughts 🙏🏻
Hi Lea. By the look of it you have had a pretty traumatic childhood which left you with a lot of hidden anger and resentment(front teeth, kidney meridian). This was due to the feelings of abandonment and rejection as a child. You could have picked up a parent’s feeling of abandonment and. rejection if you were close.
Being a nice person, you would have kept in any feelings of violence, which later manifested as an accident. I can sympathise as I had a very serious accident last year), As to the knee, there was a fear of losing control and bending to the will of others or accepting new ideas.
The yeast infection relates to feeling used, manipulated or undervalued sexually. The yeast is a way of blocking the intimacy that you so want.
If there was any childhood sexual abuse it would trigger this condition.
Hi tony, I’ve been struggling with vestibular migraines for a while intermittently, but about a year after starting a regular meditation practice it became completely debilitating. A lot of other problems in my life started to clear up, such as chronic anxiety and depression, whilst migraines got worse and worse to the point I find normal daily activities, work etc. almost impossible. Do you think there is a spiritual element to this? And what would you suggest I try for this?
Hi Calum, the migraines pessist as you expect too much of yourself and yet dislike being pushed. There were too many expectations in your former years. You then continue to attract similar people and situations
Although you have done well in releasing the chronic anxiety and depression. It is time to accept that wonderful self and take off that pressure. Warm wishes. Tony Mills
Wow this was so spot on and resonated heavily for me. Thank you for sharing . Your work is amazing
Thank you. Go well.
Ever since I was 8 years old I struggled with migraines . How do we know that the migraines we have are from this life or past life .
Not only do we inherit the programs from past lives but also inherit the feelings and lessons expressed in the condition. When we deal with mental and emotional pain the physical pain is no longer required.
This is a good point I think but I don’t think it matters. Whether it stemmed from this life or a past one, the belief is still stuck in the system
So true. Warm wishes. Tony Mills
I have been on an swift ascension journey since 2017. In summer of 2018, I started experiencing a lot of left eye issues, twitches and eye lid droops, that eventually by the end of 2019, started causing pain. I still am struggling with this left eyelid pain and hooded droop. Went to an ophthalmologist and he said its probably migraines. I do clearing work regularly for the past 3 years and Ive cleared a lot of physical issues but this eye…… it seems to keep coming back. Is this kind of chronic issue something you could address?
The ” swift ascension journey” may give an indicator to what has occurred, as there could be an involvement of the 3rd eye, as there is a resistance coming from your mother’s program. I feel that I may be able to help you with this condition.
This is so sad to say, but I don’t know how to go with the flow of life. I have no idea what my true nature is or what my true self looks like. I imagine I lost all that in childhood.
Hi Georgina,
Start your life again. Be a child with wonder and seek areas that inspire you or give you joy. You are being a victim of life, instead of deciding to take charge of your life, like a warrior. Don’t look back and blame, as this keeps you in that place of trauma. You do not realize how much of a creator you can be.
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your video and the multiple explanations that you gave. I hold a background in self-enquiry and somatic work. Ever since I started going inwards into my self, and doing more inner looking, and feeling my own emotions (2 years ago) I started getting headaches, which are triggered when I speak. I can go on my day happily if it does not involve speaking, but the moment I speak for more than 5 minutes, this headache around my eyes starts to appear, and then it can persist for some time, if I don’t meditate afterwards for example. I was wondering if you had any insights in regards to what I’ve been experiencing.
Thank you, and warm hug to you.
Hello Fran,
As your soul cannot give you words in a bubble above your head like a cartoon it uses sensations and feelings to literally express the painful, hidden feelings. As the pain has been in your head when attempting to speak, what comes up for me is that you felt under pressure by an authority figure when you were a child whenever you wanted to express yourself. Even when our parents are no longer around we unconsciously continue to punish ourselves.
If you have any problems with addressing this, Fran, I would advise booking an appointment.
Warm wishes, Tony.
Hello Tony, I have been suffering from hypothyroidism I take daily meds for thyroid from 9years along with pcos I have done medical treatments for pcos and I managed it with yoga and meditation practice lot yet I have some symptoms left however like painful mensuration and even I get increased bloodflow and also every month before mensuration I get accute migraine like headache it comes along with stomach disturbance and nauseous sometimes it stays 3days if it is intense and I have been recommended to see endocrinologist but I don’t really feel to seek medical treatment I feel it’s something intangible energies or what I can’t get that. Hopefully you guide me through your lights regarding my multiple health issues.
Thank you much love.
Hello Manali, I have had a great deal of success in addressing migraines, pcos, and thyroid problems.
If you are interested, you can book an appointment at:https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
Really interesting read – thank you. I wonder if the same sorts of things apply to cluster headaches as well?
Yes, Stanley, there will be some correlations.
Have had them for 20 years. This year culmminated in the flu (Covid) beginning with a 2 day migraine with vomitting and ending in a 4 day one non stop with an ambulance being called. Now managing daily migraineous pain with tablets (3 lots) from the Doctor. I don’t know where to begin really and I am out of work, so can’t afford any other therapy. I was abused by all my family as a child, sexual, mental, physical and emotional – daily and this repeated for 50 years now in all relationships including work. I have always been the black sheep for seeing dynamics and what was being played out. I have strong spiritual beliefs and have been working with migraines and other symptoms for years with some success for a while. Recent years have been particuarly hard because I thought would have had some form of breakthrough – meditation, seeing others for help etc. This left me with a feeling of futility and having had more than enough now. Not sure where to go from here – just taking each day as it comes. What a path I chose. Thank you for the post Tony. (Came here looking for menopause symptoms as my daily hot flashes (just started this about a month ago) are about 30 per day.
Hi Sarah, this is often the type of back ground for persistent migraines. I hope you find the means to address this challenging situation. Warm wishes.
Intriguing! Lifelong grief and chronic migraine in, I believe, the wake of preverbal sexual abuse on the mission field in Nigeria.
This would certainly be a big cause, Patti.
Hello, just had a look at your website and brilliant work that really makes sense to me….My daughter is 7 and since nursery she has developped an enlarged bladder (they were not very nice to her whilst potty training and she started holding on to her urine so now her bladder is too big) what is the spiritual cause and how can I help her? Also her friend has ” stomach migraines”, what are the causes and what could help? Best wishes, Ellie
Hello Ellie, encourage your daughter to go to the toilet as often as possible, which will allow the bladder to shrink more. To reassure her that she is now safe and loved will also help. Warm wishes.
Spot on Tony, thank you…Do you think she didn’t feel safe and loved by me? I had no choice but to send her to nursery to go to work ( I would have prefered to look after her myself) and she since told me she thought I wanted ” to get rid of her to find a prince like Cinderella because Daddy had not been a prince to me ( I left him as there was a lot of arguments and domestic violence, name calling etc…) and that every day she thought I would not collect her. I always told her I loved her and was special etc….
Hi Ellie, your daughter has just reflected abandonment and rejection, as well as feeling your abuse from your husband. This may have repeated aspects that were in your childhood. However, do not feel guilty, as guilt seeks punishment. It may not work so well by reassuring your daughter if you do not love or value yourself. Your childhood history attracted an abusive partner. Time to attract a loving situation in your life for your sake and for your daughter. Visit my website if you want help in regaining your power.

Absolutely spot on, I feel like I couldn’t concentrate fully on her as I got some much grief from her dad (I thought a father was to protect not create difficulty for the mother of a newborn), he is the obe who forced me to go back to work as he felt it was ” lazy” looking after my child. It 100% is because of my childhood,my dad was like this to my mum but I recently realised that my mum was also abusing me by using me as a confidante. I will gather the funds and book a healing session with you. Thank you for your help Tony.
