(Karra takes on headaches, their causes, their cures and using parts of your brain that haven’t been used before. We work on the breaks from work that may be one solution and finish up with some ideas to recover from jet lag.)

Russ: how are you doing?

Karra: I'm having difficulty thinking up good thoughts, I've been dealing with ambassadorial duties all day as you know and your frustration doesn't help.

Russ: well my headache probably doesn't help, that wouldn't be your headache would it?

Karra: could be.

Russ: could be?

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: we're sharing a headache.

Karra: it could be both actually and what makes it even more uncomfortable is the fact that we got headaches for different reasons. Okay let us address headaches. Okay, headaches are caused by numerous reasons. Normally by failing to eat properly, stress or trauma. Most headaches are caused by failure to eat correctly or stress. The ones by trauma are on a totally different category and we will not bother with them because they are different. Stress and nutritional headaches serve a purpose of making us rest, taking time out from our problems, being able to deal with the problems at a different time. It is like the pumping of iron when our muscles get tired and the thing is that headaches serve that purpose to stop us from overexerting ourselves and doing serious damage. It's a little bit like the negative feedback loop and the headaches created by that sometimes.

Russ: hmmm.

Karra: it is the expanding and growing of the mental faculties, using parts of the brain that haven't been used before, giving them a workout or that they haven't been pushed that far before. Now dealing with learning new things can be a stressful experience. It can also be a tiring experience and I find, I don't know about you hon, but I find that when I am deep in thought, learning something new, doing something new, something that is stressful, I forget to eat. So headaches of the mental kind and the nutritional kind can be linked. So how do we stop getting those headaches? Well, a snack might help and taking a snack serves two purposes, it takes us away from what we're doing, gives us an opportunity to be away from our work unless of course you happen to be somebody like me that has lunch or breakfast at my desk. Maybe I should have breakfast in the breakfast room.

Russ: or on the patio.

Karra: hmmm that would be nice and lunch also on the patio or in the breakfast room.

Russ: I think it would be a good break for you to get out in the fresh air.

Karra: yes, think it would be. Listen to yourself.

Russ: well I did that today though.

Karra: and you still ended up with a headache, why?

Russ: yeah well but I had no choice in the matter because I'm working at my desk too. I went out to go get food though......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: and took a break for a little while.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: I ate well.

Karra: but whilst you were out getting your lunch, what were you doing?

Russ: well I was thinking about work.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: right, well we need to both of us pay more attention to the causes of our headaches and use them as warning signs that we need to break off what we're doing mentally and physically.......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: and relax.

Karra: uh-huh. And one of us must try not to get a headache whilst the other has a headache.

Russ: that's a good idea.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: or at least try to heal the other person at the same time.

Karra: yes.

Russ: I'll work on you, you work on me, we should be able to get this all figured out.

Karra: that sounds like a good idea. Okay we have I believe two more speakers, maybe three.

Russ: oh good.

Karra: okay so I will hop off.

Russ: okay my love, headaches and all well we'll get back to later on.

Karra: uh-huh yeah, we will address that when you come up.

Russ: well we've got jet lag to work on next.

Karra: uh-huh. I could give you some interesting dimensional lag tips.

Russ: well whatever we can do to work on the jet lag will probably help a lot.

Karra: fresh fruit.

Russ: good idea.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: I'll have to remember that one.

Karra: mineral drinks.

Russ: mineral water?

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: okay.

Karra: probably calcium, calcium drinks.

Russ: hmmm, milk.

Karra: uh-huh. Okay, that's the protein side dealt with.

Russ: okay my sweetheart.

Karra: okay, and you know preparation, adjusting your body's time clock and everything.

Russ: right, working on that.

Karra: uh-huh.
