Nothing to Sneeze At: Self-Help for Allergies

Got allergies? Hay fever? Unfortunately, we are learning from many news sources (Time, CNN, Huffington Post, etc.) that climate change is lengthening allergy season so the need for relief is increasing. Closing windows and doors helps reduce your exposure to airborne allergens to some extent but that's only a partial solution, especially with the extended allergy season.
Welcome to the allergy self-helps in the healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu®. Safety Energy Lock (SEL) 22 supports adapting to your environment, even when it's spewing pollen at you. These acupressure points, located directly below your collarbone on both sides of your chest, also address phobias, your throat chakra, your thyroid and parathyroid, emotional stress, preventing strokes, and other allergies such as mold and dust mites. Harmonized SEL 22's invite you to be "Happy and content wherever you are."
Another important self-help for allergies and specifically for hay fever is the Liver Flow self-help. For that hold you place your right hand on your right SEL 4 located on the back of your head at the base of your skull on the right, while holding your left 22 with your left hand. Next you place your left hand on your left SEL 4, while holding your right 22 with your right hand. The liver organ flow self-help assists with many other projects including anger and when your body is fatigued from overuse. Edit: To see this or any other organ self-help visually, please visit this recently added page: Jin Shin Jyutsu® Organ Function Self-Helps
Another allergy harmonizer is your high SEL 19's with your opposite high 1's (your arms cross). The high 19's are one hand width above your inner elbow crease and the high 1's are one hand width above the back of your knee where your shin and thigh bones connect. Hold one pair and then switch sides.
All the SELs are illustrated here: Safety Energy Lock Diagram As always with JSJ self-helps, you can gently hold the points for 36 out-breaths and in-breaths, for a fixed length of time, or until it feels "done."
Presumably, your response to each specific self-help will depend upon your environmental sensitivities. I'd love to hear what works best for you.
The Main Central Vertical (MCV) flow and self-help from the ancient healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu harmonizes everything physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this post, I discuss specific projects harmonized by MCV and how to apply MCV.
About three weeks ago, my 56-year-old physically fit husband experienced paralysis of his right side following a stroke. Today it's like his stroke never happened.
Some Jin Shin Jyutsu self-helps for managing emotions, enhancing immunity, and supporting our lungs. Also, I'm hosting free Immunity in Community gatherings.
We open with a 45 minute or so Akashic Records consultation. The revealed themes, patterns, and disharmonies drive the table work in conjunction with your "pulses," body reading, and my intuitive insights. A follow-up e-mail documents what occurs during the energy work and includes customized self-helps.
In this work, you remain fully clothed. Just wear whatever will feel comfortable while lying on my massage table. If it's a remote session, I'll ask you to rest while I send energy.
Please consider the personal or interpersonal disharmony that led you to me and how you would like it to shift. During the session, we'll explore and address the origins and drivers of each "project."
No, the records aren’t a good resource for predictions. If there’s something you hope will happen, the records might reveal a series of necessary steps to reach your desired outcome but not the timing. For predictions, please consult a good psychic or astrologer!
Minors are under their parents' legal and energetic jurisdiction until they are 18, regardless of their maturity level.
The greatest benefit occurs when I incorporate all four modalities I practice. The option without the Akashic Records is appropriate for children under 18 who cannot receive readings. A stand-alone reading can bring insight and healing but does not involve my direct interaction with your energetic and physical bodies like my other practices.
No, but you are welcome to record sessions yourself.
Self-helps, both from Jin Shin Jyutsu and the Embodied Energy System, support your continued harmony, accelerate your evolution, and empower you. Plus they make you sparkly!
