HAYFEVER - What's the emotion behind it?

Our bodies can tell us sooo much if just take the time to listen.  What a lot of people don't realize is that physical symptoms that arise in our bodies in the form of disease, injury and sickness have a lot to do with our emotions and how we do or don't express them.
​
Also known as mindfulness, paying attention simply means becoming aware.  It's about noticing yourself without judgement and doing what's best for you in any given moment.

Paying attention means taking the time to notice without comment.

It doesn't mean criticizing, judging,  bullying yourself or feeling guilty.  You are just seeing yourself as you are, observing your body, how you are interacting with the people around you, your mind and how you might be feeling.  The more we begin to notice, the more we realize our bodies tell us so much more than what's sitting on the surface.

Let's take Hay fever as an example.  This can be one of the most annoying allergic reactions around and I know this first hand! Runny noses, watery eyes, itching non stop.  Yes there can be environmental causes at play here, especially when those pollen counts go through the roof.  However if we look a little deeper hay fever can actually be a very physical response to an underlying emotional issue we have not become aware of, or choose not to look at in ourselves.  Go the body for showing us what sometimes the mind can't see.

Allergies can indicate an intense emotional reaction to situations we surround ourselves in, a reaction of withdrawal, resistance in some way, and a fear that comes about leading to isolating ourselves, more often than not induced by stress.  To breathe is to be inspired in so many different ways, not to mention the balance it brings.  When we are clogged up and struggle to breathe what is it that we are pushing away from really?  Ask yourself these questions to draw out the core issue of this nasty bout of hay fever:

• Are you feeling limited in some way or blocked, unable to break free of old patterns and behaviors?
• Are you resisting self nourishment or inspiration?
• Have you been spending to much time up in your head and not acknowledging the balance that is needed within to get back to creativity, playtime and creativity?

Hay fever or when it gets to that intense feeling of Sinusitis (or infection) can also come about when we choose not to deal with grief and the healthy releasement of tears.  The pain in your face can be linked to not expressing inner anguish, the unexpressed grief accumulating inside of you; If you experience a temperature with it, this shows the intensity of the build up of feelings, the heat of any emotion experienced.  Ask yourself:

• Do you feel loved in this moment? Is their a deep need felt within to be loved by someone?
• What do you need to do to release the blockage, to become unstuck and unclogged within?
• Look at any other senses that are being affected, does this tie in with the same internal struggle?

In short....Are you struggling with emotional congestion that has now boiled over into the form of physical issues (hay fever)?

Becoming more aware allows us to move through the physical issue a lot faster by acknowledging what is really going on internally for us.   This way our bodies don't start making the issues on the inside a problem on the outside.

Love and Warm Blessings
