You take deep, calm breaths and enjoy the crisp, fresh air. Time passes, and now it\u2019s spring. Keep breathing steadily and carry the pleasant sense of calm with you. Imagine that you\u2019re breathing deeply, calmly and with pleasure, since you know that you\u2019re safe now and will remain safe. It does you good to breathe so calmly and peacefully. Imagine that it\u2019s spring, and you\u2019re walking in a meadow past blossoming birch trees with the same sense of calm and the same deep breaths, and perhaps you\u2019re even surprised that you feel so good. You breathe deeply and steadily. You feel no fear, and you enjoy this feeling. Imagine walking up to a birch tree, and having the wonderful idea of hugging it \u2013 and behold, it is very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.stefanhammel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/meadow-123280_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">https:\/\/pixabay.com\/de\/photos\/wiese-blumen-fr%c3%bchling-heuschnupfen-123280\/ (28.3.2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A method of systematically desensitising hay fever through hypnotic suggestion can also be found in Hans A. Abraham, based however on the medicinal desensitisation of allergies, i.e. an unreal placebo, rather than the desensitisation of phobias.
