Well, imagine being up on stage in front of hundreds of people and you get severe cramp, not just in one leg but in both!

This actually happened to someone recently at a seminar I attended.

The poor guy had to get off the stage and sit down – he was in extreme pain and looked very distressed. Immediately, a whole lot of people gathered around him, trying to ‘help’.

I managed to cut through the group, quietly knelt down and put my fingers at the back of his knees and held on . Meanwhile it was complete chaos around him. All sorts of well meaning people asking if he was okay and offering all sorts of advice. At the same time, people shouting at me: ‘Are you a doctor? Are you a doctor?!?!?!’

I reply: ‘No, I’m a  Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner.’ And kept holding the backs of his knees.

After a few minutes he calmed down, then I asked if the pain had gone. He said that yes, it had – so I quietly got up and left him. I don’t think he even realised what had happened. And that’s the way it should be – so quick, so easy, that you don’t even have time to wonder about it. It just IS – PAIN GONE.

What is a girl to do? If you’ve ever had cramp in an awkward place then you’ll know that it’s hard not to panic and to keep from going mad with the pain…

However, first-aid Jin Shin Jyutsu comes to the rescue. Of course, call out for help. If you’re alone, first thing to do is to grab the toe and hold on to it for a few seconds. Then as quickly as you can place your fingers on the dorsal knee (place right fingers behind right knee) and hold. Or hold the backs of the knee whichever way possible – get someone else to hold them if necessary.

The pain and cramp should disappear in a few seconds – i.e. immediately.

Also great for muscle cramps in the legs – fantastic first aid if you wake up with muscle cramp during the night.

It’s easy, quick and safe. Effortless reality.
