Hitting your head is not just a reflexive action you do when bumping your head on the corner of a table; there is more to it than meets the eye. What is the spiritual meaning of hitting your head? Do you do it as a reaction to a previous event or as some kind of compulsion? Hitting your head—whether it is a hard one or a soft one—isn’t always easy to take. When we suffer a physical wound, we can heal and move on…but mental wounds such as humiliation can linger and fester, leading to unsettled emotions, worries, and stresses.
The spiritual meaning of hitting your head is that you are learning to be more aware of and in tune with your own feelings, thoughts, and needs. When you hit your head, it’s because you’ve been focusing so much on other people that you haven’t been paying attention to yourself. It’s also a sign of resistance against others’ ideas because you’re trying to protect yourself from being overwhelmed by them. So by hitting your head, you’re telling yourself, “I don’t want anyone else’s ideas right now—I want to focus on my ideas.” The best way to interpret this dream is to ask yourself: What do I need? What do I want? Then see what comes up in response.
Hitting your head is a way to connect with the spirit world. When you hit your head, it can be a sign that you are going through an intense transition in life. This could be a transition in your career or in relationships, but it will happen suddenly and unexpectedly. You may feel like you have no control over what is happening, and that feeling of helplessness may cause you to lash out at those around you. Hitting your head can also be a sign that you are ready for change in your life.
If you’re feeling stuck or stagnant, this may be a sign that it’s time for something different to happen—whether that’s a new job or a new hobby or finding some way to meet new people who can help guide you through this period of transition. In either case, hitting your head can be an indication that there is something deeper going on than just physical pain. It could also mean that there’s something else going on inside of us—something we need to take care of before we can move forward.
Spiritual Meaning of Hitting Your Head
Your child has been seen at Nationwide Children’s Hospital because of a specific type of head injury, called a concussion. A concussion can be caused by a blow, bump or jolt to the head. It can also happen when a fall or hit to the body jars the brain to make it move in an unnatural way. The injury to the brain is usually temporary. Your child may feel or act differently for a short time while the brain heals.
At this time, we do not think it is necessary to admit your child to the hospital. However, you will need to watch them closely for the next 24 to 48 hours. If you feel that you cannot do this, please tell your doctor or nurse before you leave.
A concussion may affect how a child thinks, feels, and acts. Depending on the degree of brain injury, the symptoms can be few or many, mild or severe. They can come, go, then return. They may last minutes or weeks. Typically, all symptoms should go away in time.
Common symptoms are:
| Physical | Cognitive (Thinking) | Emotional | Sleep |
| Headache, “pressure in head” Neck pain Nausea or vomiting Sensitivity to light Sensitivity to noise Balance problems Dizziness Blurred vision | Confused Feeling like “in a fog” Short attention span Problems remembering “Don’t feel right” Feeling slowed down | Irritable, moody, fussy More emotional than usual Sad Nervous or anxious | Drowsy Low energy Trouble falling asleep Sleeping more or less than usual |
What to Do the First 24 to 48 Hours
Complex Concussion Clinic
The Complex Concussion Clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital helps children with concussions that take longer than usual to heal.
- Call to make a follow-up doctor’s appointment. Regardless of the degree of injury, it is important that your child have medical follow-up with a doctor experienced with head injuries.
- Let your child take rests and naps as needed during the day. You do not need to wake them up or check on them. This advice is outdated.
- Encourage your child to get a good night’s sleep. Avoid things that might keep them awake longer, such as screen time (TV, computer, cell phone) and loud music. Avoid snacks and drinks with caffeine (colas and energy boosters) close to bedtime.
- For a mild to moderate headache, you may give the over-the-counter pain medicine acetaminophen (Tylenol®). Do not give ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) until the doctor says it is OK. Read the label to know the right dose for the age of your child.
- Use ice packs on the head or neck to ease pain.
- At the doctor’s appointment, let the doctor know if your child is having trouble doing things they were able to do before the head injury, including schoolwork.
- Tell your child’s teachers and coaches that they have had a head injury so teachers can allow for changes in behavior and ability to concentrate, if needed.
When to Call the Doctor
You will need to return to the Emergency Department or call your medical provider if your child has any of the following signs or symptoms:
- Repeated or projectile vomiting
- Hard to wake up or quickly falls back to sleep after waking
- Loss of consciousness.Child does not wake up when you touch and talk to him.
- A major change in behavior or personality, such as confusion, impulsiveness, recklessness, aggressiveness, or abnormal behavior
- Complaints of worsening headaches that are not relieved with pain medicine
- Bleeding or clear fluid from the nose or ears
- Hearing problems
- Slurred speech
- Convulsions or seizures (staring into space, looking dazed, twitching, or shaking)
- Staggering or swaying while walking
- Weakness or dizziness
- Eye changes such as crossed eyes, droopy eyelids, or trouble using eyes
- Blurred or double vision
- Numbness or tingling in face, arms, or legs
- Does not “look right” to you or seems to be getting worse instead of better
Activities Allowed
The severity of symptoms guides what activities your child is able to do and how soon. There are no hard and fast rules.
If your child has had a concussion before, the recovery may be slower this time. Your child may have good days when symptoms are mild and bad days when they may be a little worse. This is a normal part of recovery. Your child’s doctor will help decide what is safe for them.
The following activities may be allowed after 1 to 2 days of rest as long as they do not cause symptoms to increase very much.
- Watching TV and listening to quiet music (avoid headphones)
- Limited technology use, such as computer time, electronic games, and phone texting
- Board games and card games that do not need a lot of concentration
- Reading, drawing, and doing homework for brief periods of time
- Going for walks if your child is able to without problems
- Relaxing with friends and teammates, as long as it does not cause stress
Your child should stop any activity that causes symptoms until seeing their physician.
Participation in the following activities is not allowed until the doctor says it is OK:
- Gym and recess
- Contact sports and rough play
- Activities that require balance, such as bike riding, skate boarding, swimming, skiing and tree climbing
- Operating motor vehicles, including ATVs, motorcycles, motor scooters, snowmobiles and cars
Avoid any activity that will put your child at risk for another head injury until the brain heals. A repeat injury before the brain heals can slow recovery and cause long-term problems.
Most children return to school in 2 to 5 days following a concussion. Your child’s symptoms may not have all gone away before they go back to school. It is best for them to stay home if symptoms are bad enough to prevent learning orthey cannot make it through at least a half day of school.
You will know your child has recovered when they can do regular activities without having concussion symptoms.
Preventing Future Injuries
Passenger safety. Use proper child passenger restraints (car seat or booster seat) for age and size of child.
Sports safety. Make sure your child:
- Wears a helmet that fits properly and protective gear when using a bike, skateboard, scooter, roller-skates, or participating in a contact sport like football.
- Learns and uses proper technique when playing sports, such as tackling in football and
“heading” the ball in soccer. - Always tells someone right away if they hit their head and do not feel normal afterwards.
Spiritual Significance of The Head
The Head is the most important part of the visible body. It is the head that gives you identity and makes you recognisable anywhere you go.
A man can lose his two eyes, two legs or two hands and still be alive, but have you ever seen a man without a head alive? No matter how fast your legs or hands can take you, if your head does not co-ordinate their efforts, you are going nowhere in spite of the speed.
The head is the symbol of your destiny and glory. It is the head that wears the crown and crown speaks of power, authority and leadership (positioning).
In Genesis 3:15, the Bible records “So the Lord God said to the serpent, because thou has done this, I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, then you shall bruise his heel”.
There is an everlasting and divine enmity between the man and the devil. The devil is against the head of man because of this established enmity.
In Psalms 23:5, the Bible says “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anointed my head with oil and my cup runs over.” What makes my cup to run over? The anointing upon my head results in my cup being full and running over. I pray that the anointing of God shall fall upon you today and your cup shall run over.
There is a saying that if the head is sick, the whole body will be sick. How true! Note that whatever happens to your head affects your entire body. When a man’s head is under attack many things could happen.
If an arrow is fired at somebody’s head all of a sudden he becomes dull; lacks motivation; sleeps off when reading the Bible, is unable to memorise scriptures because there is an evil deposit in his brain. He will not be able to think properly resulting in confusion.
If he is a married man, he will find it difficult to fulfil his marital obligations to his family.
If the head is under attack, you cannot become what God wants you to be.
Heads that are under attack encounter problems and difficulties. They experience slow or no movement in life! Businesses can close; families can be rubbished and lost entirely; such a person works tirelessly and has nothing to show for it.
Signs that somebody’s head is under attack: –
• Unexplainable Moodiness
• Bad decisions
• Insanity
• Negative thinking
• Forgetfulness
• Lack of interest in others
• Suicidal feelings
• Unreasonable crying
• Poor concentration
• Unexplainable headaches
• Dizziness/ regular fainting spells
• Disorganisation
• Poor planning/ poor finishing
• Confusion
• Dreaming that your head is being pressed down, or your hair being cut or shaved off.
Sources of Head Attack:
• The major source is the laying on of hands either through prayers or by hairdressers or barbers. I once heard the story of hairdressers who claim they make more money selling the water used to wash people’s hair for rituals than the actual hair dressing itself. That is why you must be careful who you allow to touch your head.
• Satanic incisions on the head
• Curses
• Things you put or carry on your head
• Evil arrows fired into the head
• Bewitchment
• Sharing headgear or caps with people can transfer attacks.
Solution:
• Repentance; do not live a sinful life
• Give your life to Jesus. Don’t live a careless or carefree life without God’s protection. Your life is safer in the hands of Jesus than in your hands.
• Pray fervently
Prayer points:
• O God my Father, whatever I have done that has exposed me to head attacks, please forgive me and deliver in the name of Jesus
•Every evil arrow fired into my head, jump out by fire.
• Arrows of confusion and disorderliness fired into my head, come out by fire
• Every bewitchment of my head arising from laying on of hands be nullified by the blood of Jesus
• Any ritual done with my hair in order to attack my head and destiny backfire in the name of Jesus.
• I declare and decree that my head is free from satanic attacks in Jesus name.
Deliverance of The Head Bible Verses
The Deliverance of the Head in the Bible
The concept of deliverance in the Bible is one that is deeply rooted in the faith of Christians. Many verses speak to the idea of God’s deliverance and protection, specifically in regard to the head. The head is often seen as a symbol of leadership, authority, and protection in the Bible. Here are ten Bible verses that speak to the deliverance of the head:

of whom shall I be afraid?

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
