In my former practice, I saw many kids from about 6 years old to 15 who were suffering seriously from asthma. In every case, this asthma problem was solved within the first hour of working with them.
Asthma is universally caused by some allergy or sensitivity. It is a reaction that affects the throat muscles. An asthmatic can typically breathe in, but finds it difficult to beathe out. Occasionally, the difficulty is in both breathing in and out.
In some cases, where I did hypnotic age regression, it appeared to be sort of a "defense mechanism". This was best illustrated by one case who was regressed to under one year old. The family cat had gotten in the crib and laid down on the baby's face. This resulted in a phobia of cats and severe asthma. It seems that keeping the air in the lungs in that case was defensive in nature. Other cases were similar.
Since the throat muscles tightened up in asthma, I reasoned that if the involved person was taught how to relax those muscles (on cue), the asthma would no longer be a problem. I had developed the Bate Relaxation Technique over many years of experience with hypnosis. It is similar to a basic hypnotic induction, but with a twist that the end point is not "normal" hypnosis, but a very relaxed and concentrated mind state.
The subject memorizes this relaxed and concentrated mind state and by practice, using a pyschological trigger of counting to three, actually conditions his/her own (Pavlovian) reflex or response. If the muscles all over the body are relaxed, asthma is no longer a problem.
