Question: How can I cool the body?
“I wanted to know whether there are specific Jin Shin Jyutsu holds to cool the body. My problem is that I literally cannot take the heat (meaning that my body doesn’t seem to be able to cool down properly when the temperature rises to above 25 degrees celsius for a couple of days).
I thrive when the temperature is at around 18-22, but my internal airco seems to break down when we have a couple of consecutive days of sunny hot weather.
The symptoms are that I feel a constant light pressure around my head and my eyes and my face turns all red and feels flushed and overheated, I become all sweaty, my feet start to overheat and swell up, and all these symptoms last until the temperature goes down (I’m a nordic type – blonde, blue eyes, pale skin, burn easily) …
You can imagine that every time there is a heat wave predicted here, I really really hope that it won’t last for more than a few days…Any advice to deal with this with the help of Jin Shin Jyutsu holds would be more than welcome.”
