Jin Shin Jyutsu® is a Japanese healing art that balances body, mind and spirit. For the body to be healthy, energy needs to flow freely. Hurried lifestyles, environmental issues and/or heredity can cause this energy to become blocked resulting in disharmony or disease. A Jin Shin Jyutsu® practitioner uses both hands to hold a combination of Safety Energy Locations (SELs), which are the areas in the body that can become blocked. As the SELs release and balance is restored, one experiences physical, mental and spiritual harmony. When all the energy is flowing in harmony, there is a sense of well-being and happiness. It is in this state, that healing can occur. Jin Shin Jyutsu® can be practiced on oneself and on others. The work encourages a life of simplicity, calmness, patience and self-containment. It is the philosophy and spirit of the work, not the technique, that attracts people to Jin Shin Jyutsu®. Alexis Brink LMT, president of the Institute has been studying, teaching and practicing Jin Shin Jyutsu® in the United States and Europe for over 25 years. A calm and serene space, the Institute is located on the Upper East Side of New York City and offers a variety of services: private sessions, private/group practitioner training and private/group self help classes. Alexis is available for off site workshops and speaking engagements.
