The Hay Fever Relief Process

Introduction

Spring has come very late this year which may be why I haven’t heard much about Hay Fever yet. For many people that is what the onset of warmer weather and lighter evenings means. This is true for Jean and thousands like her who now start checking the pollen count every morning, and the days herald more sneezing, itching, and breathing problems. Jean had suffered from these problems for nine years since the untimely deaths of her parents. Imagine how pleased she was to find out that NLP had developed a Fast Allergy Relief Process that could be used to combat Hay Fever. After one session she rid herself of Hay Fever and hasn’t suffered from the debilitating symptoms since.

In the seventeen years since I discovered the process I have helped many people to relieve the symptoms of Hay Fever and other allergies. A surprising number of these have eradicated the symptoms completely, and although the process doesn’t work for everybody, it is amazing how many people can be helped.

Most people I have worked with have needed only one session to get a huge amount of relief. In those cases where there is no significant improvement, in the hands of the right practitioner, no harm can be done with this process and the worst that happens is nothing.

Neuro Linguistic Programming

Many of you will be asking what NLP is. Put simply, NLP was developed to model excellence. It is a process for working out how people do things well. Once we know that we can develop techniques and procedures using NLP to pass on these people’s skills and strategies.

In the field of health, we find people who have stayed well or who have healed themselves against the odds and try to work out with them how they did this so that others can benefit. NLP has had great success dealing with phobias and allergies, and, of course, Hay Fever.

The Onset of Allergies

We know that allergies can start at any time in life – childhood, teenagerhood or adulthood. We know that allergies usually start at times when we are facing an identity crisis of some sort. People I have worked with started allergies when they moved from small school to big school, when they were facing exams, when they were going through puberty, when they were leaving home for the first time, when they were divorced, or when faced with the death of a loved one.

During these times of crisis, every part of the person’s system is on alert. The immune system is primed to protect us against any possible attack. Unfortunately, this will be the first thing that the immune system notices and so we end up with an allergy because we are being protected so well.

The Immune System

With Hay Fever our system wrongly assumes that we need to be protected from pollen even though we know consciously that pollen is not dangerous and that most people have no reaction to pollen at all. We can use the NLP Fast Allergy Relief Process to re-educate the immune system allowing it to continue protecting us while no longer needing to respond to pollen by attacking it. We can relieve ourselves of those uncomfortable and disabling symptoms.
Taking Jean Through The NLP Hay Fever Relief Process

Secondary Gain
The first thing that Jean and I did was to check that it would be ok for her not to have the symptoms of Hay Fever. This may seem to be an odd way to start but we needed to make sure that there was no secondary gain to be achieved in Jean maintaining Hay Fever. For Jean, there wasn’t and so we could continue with the process.

Thanking The Immune System
Next, we needed to thank Jean’s immune system for doing a great job and keeping her safe and sound all of these years. It had been ready and able to dash into action every time that it felt that she was under threat, hence the symptoms of sneezing and itching. This is important because we want Jean’s immune system to continue looking after her after she has rid herself of Hay Fever. The metaphor I often use here is of a small child who has taken on an important job in the house and years later she no longer needs to do this job. It would be unkind not to thank her for doing a good job and then explaining that she doesn’t need to do that any more but can go out to play.

Replicating The Symptoms
Next, I asked Jean to remember a time when she had had Hay Fever. I need to be very careful here and only allow Jean to think of the symptoms for a very short period of time because it can be quite distressing and comfortable. Once Jean had showed me what it is like to have Hay Fever – running eyes and sneezing and the like – I quickly got her back into a resourceful state. The point of this was to show Jean that some, if not all, of the symptoms are produced by her. How can she produce the symptoms of Hay Fever in the depths of winter when there is no pollen around? This is a big convincer for lots of people that they can start to have more control over their own health.

Not All
Another thing that convinced Jean that she could have control was the realisation that not everyone suffers Hay Fever. There are many, many more people who don’t than there are who do. Pollen in itself is not a dangerous substance and does not affect everyone. Once Jean had realised this, she was ready to move on to the next stage.

Finding An Alternative
The next part of the process was the fun part where Jean and I needed to get creative. We needed to find something that, for Jean, is like pollen but which isn’t pollen. After some fun and rejecting most ideas and suggestions we recalled a time when Jean had been baking cakes with her mother and she had dropped the flour bag and it had split on the floor. Suddenly, there was flour all over the place. Jean remembers looking worriedly across at her mother scared that she would be angry. But her mother, covered in flour, as was the whole kitchen, had burst out laughing. And Jean remembers being hugged by her mother and rolling over and over in the flour as they laughed and laughed and laughed until they were exhausted. And in that time both inhaled a lot of flour but it did no harm.

Jean had an experience of something safe floating around in the air, breathing it in and it having no ill effects on her whatsoever. In fact, it added to the fun of the whole experience as they spluttered and laughed.

The Process
The process itself is very easy to complete as all of the hard work has been done. Using simple visualisation techniques, I helped Jean to find a place in her mind where she felt completely safe. For Jean, she was surrounded by a thick Perspex bubble. She then imagined herself on a television screen in a kitchen surrounded by flour and breathing it in. She was safe in her bubble and safe in the picture. I then helped Jean to change the picture in stages so that the flour eventually turned into pollen and she was in the picture and fully associated into the experience. We did this in small stages ensuring at all times that she was safe. Once or twice we went back in the process to make sure that she was alright. Surprised and happy, by the end of the process, Jean could feel once again how safe pollen used to be to her.

The Test
After a thirty-minute session, Jean now felt completely different. She wanted to test the results immediately but I asked her use caution. We agreed that she would test out the results slowly but surely in measured steps and that she was to take a step back if there were any abreactions. She agreed and that was the end of our session together apart from her agreement to call me with results of her success.

Jean calls me occasionally to tell me how much better her life is now. She can go into her garden during the summer months, she has been on several holidays that would have proved too difficult for her previously and she gets out and meets her friends much more often than before.
