Jin Shin Jyutsu is the ancient art of harmonizing the energetic system of the body using the placement of hands in specific patterns called “flows”. Similar to acupuncture in philosophy, Jin Shin Jyutsu utilizes gentle touch rather than needles, massage or pressure at specific points on the body (26 each on the right and left sides as well as fingers, toes, and spine). Energy flows through our bodies in specific pathways as acknowledged in acupuncture to build the body and facilitate all body functions. From time to time, due to stress, illness, or overuse, these energy pathways can become “blocked” leading to discomfort. If not attended to these blocks can increase and manifest into "dis-ease" or other “projects”. Jin Shin Jyutsu opens blocked or stagnant pathways, so that the body’s energy can return to its natural balanced state resulting in a deep sense of relaxation of body and mind. Whether you chose to use Jin Shin Jyutsu as a method to assist the healing of the body or simply as a relaxation technique, you will experience its restorative benefits on many levels.
