Gratin, as I suspected. I made this mistake too in the beginning when I first started doing readings.

What you want to do is converse outside yourself, otherwise you get a sort of backlash of energy, which, if you're not used to it, will cause a headache.

So get yourself into a nice meditative state and then imagine yourself on a beach or in a garden, room or temple, wherever, and then begin conversing with your HS. When you're done, leave the location, which will close the connection down a little. Otherwise, it's like having a raging party going on in your house while you're trying to sleep.
