Dizziness and vertigo

[Lucky]

I also posted this in acupuncture thread but in case that forum doesn't get many visitors, I'm posting here too.
I have suffered from vertigo attacks on and off for the past 10 years. I'm not sure what triggers it, but I've had about three episodes where the dizziness lasts a month. I'm over three weeks in to one of those spells at the moment. I'm a big believer that physical ailments manifest from an underlying emotional cause and have been on a slow and steady path of self healing through reiki over the past three years. I look to alternative treatments because conventional medicine has done nothing to alleviate or properly diagnose what is causing this dizziness. They've said its inner ear issues. Mri shows nothing and I was given pills to treat the dizzy symptom itself and was given muscle relaxers at one point in time...all which make me zombie-like, which is no way to live.

These three bad episodes including this one seem to happen when I'm on the brink of change, if I could see a pattern here. To try to alleviate the dizziness I have seen a chiropractor and recently tried 5 sessions of acupuncture only to feel worse after that fifth session. I'm tired of spending money on visits when they can't educate me as a patient as to what is going on with my body.

Here's a bit of a background:
This most recent episode of dizziness followed a migraine for 3 days, and has left my head spinning for almost a full month now. I can't be sure what triggered it, but it seemed to start after some new Clair abilities started opening up (random channeled messages, visions, precognition and communication with spirits without even trying too hard this stuff all came about). The month long episode before this one came after my very first reiki session and also left me dizzy for a month.

Physically, I have tight neck and shoulders, adrenal fatigue made worse after spending too much time with people, ears popping, tones in the ears occasionally, sharp migraines in the right side of my head only, and occasionally heart palpitations...not sure if physical symptoms cause anxiety or anxiety is causing physical symptoms, or if I'm just super sensitive to my environment. All I know is that I'm tired of being a hermit and afraid to even go to the grocery store.

I've tried like heck to meditate on this and reiki it all but I'm still left with a big question mark. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it! And please, no responses like "drink more water"...I do drink an adequate amount.

Have you heard of the Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson. He talks about how emotions can get stuck in our body, and by releasing them healing occurs. Personally I am not a fan of Reiki, and maybe healing energies is not what you need if you are very sensitive, then space is more like what is needed. Not really meditation, but just good old relaxing your way out of it rather than stress. Yet if emotions are trapped in your body wrecking havoc then that is more easily said than actually done.

I believe he releases the emotions first by muscle testing so see what emotion is ready to be released, then he uses a magnet over the spine from top to bottom (3 - 10 times). The former I guess is only necessary if you need to know why this is happening. Otherwise you might just muscle test if there is a emotion that wants to be released, then ask 3 times. If it a no then go for 10 times moving the magnet down the spine.

If you feel like it, maybe check out his book

Thank you so much for your reply! This is not the first time someone has mentioned the Emotion Code to me, so I will give in and purchase this book finally.

I must say I agree with you about reiki. While it was the first modality I'd discovered and learned about at the beginning of my spiritual journey, I can't help but feel the way it is taught and conducted is missing a lot of key pieces. I could go on and on about this subject but I'll leave it at that for now. Either way, I am grateful that my experience with reiki has given me a burning desire to want to know the truth, minus all the fluff out there.

Maybe I I'll find an emotion code practitioner nearby who can muscle test and run magnets down my spine, but in the meantime I will read the book and hopefully gain some insight from it. I'm a firm believer we all have the ability to heal ourselves, but sometimes it can be tricky to access emotions that need to surface if they are buried in our subconscious or unconscious mind somewhere.

Ok, onwards and upwards I go! Thanks again!

I got it for free at their home page, or maybe it was at the healers library back in November. Maybe they still do this for a sign up to their newsletter?

On a brief shamanic path it was suggested to me to not look in the crown for what only grows in the roots but I agree that we all have the ability, yet what we sometimes lack is space to release what needs to be released. Thus a practice of listening to how you feel, and move accordingly is a really good way to constantly move into better feeling spaces. Sometimes we do too much or too little, yet as we feel our way into the world we can gently learn to move at the right pace... into the right spaces. I believe

Melahin: thanks for the suggestion to the link but I just paid a few bucks to download the book

Tomma:
Thanks for all these suggestions. No, my neck wasn't included in the mri, and that was 10 years ago. It could be a disc pinching something, but I would think my chiropractor would've noticed something but then again, maybe not. I haven't had a headache other than the initial onset of this, but here I am three weeks later still feeling like I got off a boat. I haven't been tested for b12 deficiency, but I think I should. Either way I do take b vitamins consistently. I have seen some exercises like the epley maneuver but there seems to be different motions for different types of dizziness, some done under guidance of a therapist trained in this so I find which type I have then I'll be in luck. I just don't know where to start. I don't have health insurance, mostly because I have little faith in the way doctors operate here, so I do try to go the holistic route first.

I do feel these empath/clairsentient abilities have a lot to do with these symptoms my whole life, and I notice them more when in certain situations and around certain people. However, just when I thought I've had more control over myself and in a good emotional state, this episode crept up on me...so it's not making sense.

I ask every day for the answers to the cause to this. So far the moment I asked for clarity when I was in the shower, my shower head blew simultaneously and water sprayed all over the bathroom. I also asked for clarity in a dream and I was take to a place that resembled Atlantis, with crystal clear water and a seabed of gems and crystals...what stone stuck out to me the most was a citrine point. Then a man, shirtless, built, and tanned skin with thick, long black hair was standing next to me overlooking all the crystals. I looked in his eyes and his face resembled something from the Avatar movie...like he was from a different dimension of time and space.

Ugh...lets see how this unfolds. Hopefully I get some clear answers.
