TAT for Allergies by Sylvia Polay Griffith, MEd, Registered Psychologist

Do you suffer from food or environmental allergies? Spend your hard-earned money on anti-histamines instead of evenings out or other treats? Until recently most of us with allergies had no other easy options. Fortunately, this is no longer true. Several years ago I learned of an energy technique that really does permanently clear up allergies. It is called the Tapas Acupressure Technique -- TAT for short. TAT can dispatch your allergies with ease because allergies are nothing more than your immune system making a mistake and identifying something harmless, or even beneficial, as dangerous. When your immune system perceives danger it goes into immediate (sometimes delayed) action and disburses a flood of chemicals throughout your body. In the case of allergies, it is primarily histamines and immunoglobulin E that are disbursed. Histamines are produced by mast cells in various tissues in the body. If the active mast cells are in your skin you have an itchy rash; in the nasal membranes, you have itchy, sneezy, watery eyes and nose; (sound like a commercial we've all heard a thousand times?) in the brain, headaches or foggy thinking; in the digestive system, indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, cramps, etc. You get the idea. Anti-histamine medication works by simply blocking or counteracting the flood of histamines. Allergy shots correct your immune system's mistaken beliefs by letting it experience tiny amounts of the allergen and slowly come to realize that it is not dangerous. Although both these treatments do work, they are time consuming and/or expensive. TAT works on the same principle as allergy shots, only it quickly teaches the immune system that a certain allergen is not dangerous. The only down side of TAT is that you will have to whittle away at your allergies one at a time until you finally get them all. No big deal if you only have a few, but somewhat time consuming if you have dozens of sensitivities. It is worth the time! Each TAT only takes about 5 to 15 minutes. You could probably clear 2 or 3 allergies a day if you have a half hour to spare each day. It is also possible to sometimes clear similar allergies, such as nuts or pollens, as a block. You can use muscle testing to find out from your own internal wisdom if this is possible.

TAT Procedure

If you have a way of muscle testing yourself or someone to do it for you, ask your body if it would be beneficial now to do a TAT on “such and such”, and check at the end of each step to see if it is complete. If not, you can just go ahead and spend about 1 to 2 minutes in each step. See end of article for a precaution. The TAT Steps Be in the TAT pose (see below) and think about/remember the allergen and the symptoms. In other words, think about drinking a glass of milk and focus on the memory of your itchy, stuffy nose. Think about what is true.i.e. “I can have a healthy, normal relationship with house dust. It is not dangerous. It is harmless. If it really were dangerous the whole world would be sick. Most people can be in the presence of house dust and have no symptoms. Therefore it can't be dangerous.” You use whatever words make sense to you and talk to yourself in a convincing manner. Set your intention on “I am now clearing all the origins of this allergy”. Origins are events in your own life or in an ancestor's life that caused your body/immune system to come to its mistaken belief. You don't need to know consciously what these events were. Your subconscious is aware of everything that ever happened to you and how it is all connected, and the TAT process is happening at a subconscious level. Set your intention on “I am now clearing all the places in my body where this allergy has been stored. ”By this we mean all the tissues and organs as well as the energy field and mind. That's it --the four steps of TAT for allergies! The TAT Pose This is essential; without the TAT pose nothing would happen. It is required for each step. You place your thumb and ring finger on the little tear duct lumps in the inside corners of your 2 eyes. The middle finger (not the pointer, the one next to it) is placed about a half inch above the nose (the third eye position). The other hand cups the occipital hump on the back of your head (thumb is just above hairline and palm is centered on the back of your head). You do not have to press; barely touching is fine. People do vary in the amount of time each step takes so if one minute steps do not seem to be working, do them a little longer or find someone to help you muscle test to find out what is going on. It is really important to drink lots of water during, and for 24 hours after, a TAT. Your body energy is flowing differently now and your body is adjusting to the new status quo. The water helps this process. It is also very important not to overwhelm the body with too much change all at once, so unless you are muscle testing and getting a clear go ahead to do another TAT, never do more than a half hour per day TAT process.Don't worry if you feel somewhat tired after doing a TAT. It is a normal reaction to the adjustment process your body is going through. Happy “TATing”, and enjoy your new allergy freedom! Feel free to call me if you have any problems.
