Natural Pain Relief Using the Hands

Natural Pain Relief with Jin Shin Jyutsu Hold

I know the title of this post might sound rather far fetched to many people, but if you are new to the Ancient Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, then I, and thousands of people around the world can be testimony to the fact that placing your hands on specific energy sites on your body can, and does, bring Natural Pain Relief.

In fact, there is a special energy function that we learn about in the Jin Shin Jyutsu classes for Pain Relief. I have talked about it before. It is one hold, very simple and very effective. 

The Pain Relief hold helps the deep energies in the body, so it helps to revitalize and move everything on every level.

I remember giving a client with cancer her weekly JSJ treatment and spent the whole hour just doing the pain relief hold. The results were surprising, as she went into a very deep state of relaxation and PEACE. Yes, that was the beautiful part of this session, it was very obvious that she was completely at peace, and she looked very beautiful in that state.

I have also, much to my surprise, in fact, used this Pain Relief hold as an anaesthetic. As I waited for the dentist to see me once, I did this hold (for about 20 minutes). Then, when I was in the chair, the dentist brought out an enormous injection – I looked at him and said: what are you planning to do with THAT? He said: 'You're going to need an anaesthetic for this procedure.' Much to his surprise, I refused the anaesthetic, but he accepted my choice. While he was working on my mouth, I held my INDEX finger. (Index finger helps the teeth). Throughout, I did not feel any pain or discomfort. In fact, I didn't feel any discomfort at all until a few hours later when it seemed the effect of my Natural Pain Relief hold started wearing off and my mouth started throbbing a bit. It was just as if I had had an anaesthetic.

So here is the Natural Pain Relief hold again for you to use with 'humility and awe'. Put the right hand on the inside of your left heel (under the ankle bone) and the left hand on the outside of the left heel (under the ankle bone). For the other side, put the right hand (again) on the inside of the right heel (under the ankle bone) and the left hand (again) on the outside of the left heel (under the ankle bone).

I have also used this hold in very acute situations, for instance, when someone just came out of surgery – this acted like a shot of morphine. But remember as Mary Burmeister used to say: 'Be your own testimony'

I would say to you: 'Experiment with this Natural Pain Relief hold and let me know if it works for you!'
