A cramp is a more or less brief and painful contracture of one or more muscles.
There are few people who have not suffered a cramp in their feet or calves.
Cramps can also occur in the stomach, intestines and even hands.
The function of a cramp is the attempt to complete an essential muscular movement, which has not been achieved or has not been carried out effectively.
If I have a cramp, it means that I am experiencing an emotional conflict related to the way I am performing in some activity.
I feel the need to be recognized as competent, capable, extraordinary and I cling to prove it.
This attitude creates a great tension in me that finally ends in a cramp.
An unconscious fear is always present inside, the fear of not being as good, capable and valuable as I want.

I can suffer a cramp if I find some difficulty in the movements I perform: the cramp “prevents” me from moving and forces me to stop.

“I need to do something, act, play, move in some way, but either I can’t or someone limits me.”
If the voluntary muscles are affected, it is a question of impediments due to the outside world and others.

It indicates that I have to make a movement against my will.
“I want to be calm but they force me to do things;

if you clean your room, or go down to the store and whatever else they think of.”
When the cramp occurs in the involuntary muscles, the impediment is due to the inside (oneself).
It can warn me that I am experiencing a situation of helplessness or excessive tension that I cannot express or bear.
In what aspect of my life do I suffer tension, am I overdoing it and want everything to go too fast?

Do I feel tension and fear and want to cling to something or someone?
Cramps in the calves: affects the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.
It can indicate that I am afraid to move forward in a project or to take on a new job.
It also warns me about my desire to rush or to expect things to speed up, to do everything too quickly.

Similarly, the cramp informs me about a conflict of impotence.

“I can’t keep moving forward, but I have to do it at all costs.”
For example: in sports when I’m exhausted but, nevertheless, I have to keep competing until the end.
Similarly, a cramp can manifest itself if I have doubts about whether or not I can perform a certain movement.
Will my partner want to have intimate relations or not?
Night cramps: they reflect my need or desire to want to escape from a situation, which I deny or hide during the day.
What or who do I want to escape from, run away from?
