“The Last Few Remaining Allergy Symptoms Vaporized!”

As long as I can remember, I've always had seasonal allergies. My dad had allergies, so I figured I inherited them from him.

Once I moved from the west coast to here in the Midwest they began to get worse. I blamed first crop hay season in June and July. My sinuses would fill the moment I crawled out of bed and my ears, eyes and throat would itch to no end. Then once it get closer to the end of July the symptoms would lessen and I'd feel better.

A good friend involved in another arena of Energy Healing made a comment that my seasonal symptoms could very well be the result of a childhood trauma to which my body is remembering the "anniversary date". At the time I dismissed the concept; there's no way could something that happened to me in the past could be what is causing my snotty head today! No way! HA!

In time, I came across EFT and began a slow change in understanding to what we know is true! Our emotional body is directly linked to our physical body. I called my folks and I asked them if anything traumatic ever happened to me. I couldn't think of anything. I was never was in the ER, no serious accidents other than the usual bumps and bruises of growing up. No unexcused deaths in the family or friends. Mom couldn't think of anything either. So now what do I do?

The more I thought about it, the more I could feel there was something beginning to brew; something was coming to the surface but I couldn't quite grasp it. So one day I sat with my husband and said "Lets just assume something "bad" happened and let's use EFT to see if we can resolve whatever it is that is causing my allergies... This was mid May, and I was nearing my normal allergy season.

As we sat down to begin the search into my allergies, Scott asked me, "Do you know what traumatic event happened to you?" I said "no" and suddenly I was bawling my eyes out! Where did that come from? Now mind you, I'm not one to cry because I'm having a bad day, I'm a sap for good sad movie but I don't cry on a whim so this sort of freaked us both out. So we tapped, and we tapped on every question Scott could think of and if it presented any sort of intensity, we tapped until I felt calm again.

Even though I don't know what happened to me, I deeply and completely accept myself...
Even though this thing is bigger than me...
Even though I am afraid of this thing...
Even though I feel out of control...
Even though I can't run away from this thing..."

Finally, he followed up with

Even though the idea of my mind holding the secrets is very frightening...

Again, the tears poured out and we tapped until I was truly settled and could repeat all the questions without any lingering intensity. He used his own intuition to try and unearth just what it was that had traumatized me but after 2 hours I was exhausted and, at this point, we still didn't know WHAT it was that had happened in my childhood.

Here comes the month of June and my folks came out to visit us on the farm. We spoke briefly about EFT and all the accounts I've read on healing our emotional scars. When I asked again about anything traumatic happening to me and that it didn't have to be a life and death matter, just anything that would scare a little kid is enough to set the stage. Mom then says, "Oh ya! You were scared to death of dads motorcycle when you were a toddler! He would fire it up and you would take off running through the house screaming your head off!"

Ah Ha! Bingo! I knew in my heart this was it! The moment she said "dads motorcycle" it all made sense! While growing up in California my allergies were hit and miss all year, and now in Iowa they start in early June; just when everyone gets their motorcycles out of winter storage! My body is reliving those terrifying moments! And knowing my dad, he no doubt rev'd the motor a little extra to see the little kid scream! I finally found the answer to my allergies! Needless to say I starting tapping right away! And it doesn't matter that today I love big engines in race cars or loud motorcycles, but what happened then is still stored in my body today!

Even though I have this fear of dads motorcycle...
Even though the loud engine scares me...
Even though I love my dad, he scares me...

I tapped for everything I could think of about dads motorcycle and how it scared me, even though I don't remember the motorcycle, my imagination had to do the work! And think about it; when little kids scream in terror what happens? They get all snotted up! I had to be on the right track with this! I just knew it! I began to see a progressive decline in my allergy symptoms. If they began to flare up I could quickly tap and they would settle down immediately.

Scott and I had been working on new fencing out in the back pasture. Each day got a little better for me. No more snotty head, no more itchy ears. But after about 2 weeks, I still would get itchy eyes. But I couldn't figure out the connection to the motorcycle, so I tapped a question to the Universe.

Even though I don't know what the reason is for my itchy eyes, I trust the answer will come soon...

About 2 weeks later, I suddenly recalled a day out cutting firewood with my dad and grandfather. We were driving down a rural road and as a child being expected to help work, I sat in the back seat head hanging off one shoulder staring out the side window as we drove. Suddenly I thought I saw what looked to be a hit and run victim! There was a crumpled up body laying in the tall grass on the side of the road. At first I thought that it wasn't real so the first thought was, "don't say anything!" Finally I screamed STOP THE CAR! Dad got out and walked back saying "hello? hello?" and the dead body began a drunken mumble to leave him alone! Dad could see his car parked off in the trees, so we guess he drove so far and was sleeping it off! Phew!

So could this memory be my missing link? Could the fear of seeing a "dead body" in the tall grass be what is causing the itchy eyes? Maybe it's more like "whats hiding in the tall grass" was the final aspect of my allergies! The memory came for a reason! It had to be a sign! So I tapped;

Scary things hiding in tall grass...
Dead bodies in the tall grass...
Danger in the tall grass ...

Bingo! The itchy eyes totally disappeared! But, I was also nearing the end of my normal allergy season so I Iet it rest and hoped that I did in fact have my allergies cured!

Now we come into the next spring so just in case, I re-tap on the fear of dads motorcycle to make sure I got every last ounce of trauma removed. Hard to say, nothing about those fears felt intense any longer, but, once June appeared, so did some allergy symptoms. Not as bad as "normal" and only in the early morning. So, there is more EFT work to do!

I was at a loss and not sure where to go with it until a fellow EFTer made a comment about my birthday being right in the middle of my allergy season. Ah Ha! Every year for 46 years, mom reminds that she went through 30 hours of labor with me! Could that be it? She was never mean about it, just a gentle joking reminder. Could this guilt of causing mom pain be another aspect of this allergy? When in doubt --- tap! I also tapped on the fear and pain it must have been being the new-to-be-born and going through the 30 hours of labor!

Even though I feel guilty for causing mom all the pain...
Even though I am in pain during my birth...
Even though the bright lights and cold air scares me...

And because mom was a month pregnant with me before my parents got married, I added;

Even though it's my fault mom had to get married...
Even though I am to blame mom had no choice but to get married so young...
Even though I was a mistake...(not that my parents ever made that claim, as the unborn child it may have been a potential thought!)

The last few remaining allergy symptoms vaporized!

At this point, I think I finally have my allergy cured. But the test once again will come next season. And if there is more to it, I know that the needed memories will begin to surface. Sometimes you can fix it all at once, but don't fret and worry if it takes time. Just go with the flow and your body will do the detective work for you and offer up the evidence you need as you need it. I'm living proof you can heal your self!
