Meditation for Migraines

Does anyone meditate on a regular basis? I am just beginning to meditate daily and I am finding that it helps reduce the intensity of my headaches by focusing on my breathing.

I thought it was interesting that Johns Hopkins is doing this trial on meditation and migraines.

I wish I could participate in this. I try to meditate. I am crap at it.
I have constant pain and it always seems to win.
Nice that they are trying this though.

I have used mindfulness meditation type activities with a number of clients to help reduce their head pain. Many have said that it has helped.

I personally find that it helps me as well with my head pain if I can concentrate enough to do it. I think it helps my clients because I am able to guide them through it.

I was put through (or tortured through) a Biofeedback course which emphasized controlled breathing and progressive muscle relaxation and meditation. Didn't work a damn for me.

My migraines hit too hard and fast to ease them with mind over matter stuff.
