Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is a 3,000-year-old ancient healing art.
... Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is a gentle form of
acupressure therapy that uses light finger pressure over specific points on the
body while fully clothed. JSJ restores the flow of energy, which
may be blocked due to illness or pain.
You might be surprised to learn that
the majority of today’s most common ailments including anxiety, backaches,
colds and flu, digestive issues, immune disorders, migraines, and insomnia, can
be alleviated naturally by restoring and harmonizing blocked, stagnant energy.
The art of Jin Shin, based on the Japanese healing art of energy medicine, is
practiced throughout the world. It is powerful, it is versatile, it comes
with no side effects or contraindications, it can be practiced together with
any other modality including conventional medicine, and above else – it
requires only our two hands and nothing else.
Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioners work to unblock the
circuit and restore consistent flow along the pathways. “You go through a
sequence that aligns the energy meridians, using the hands as jumper cables, “You then hold them there until the pulses are synchronized.”
Jin Shin Jyutsu isn't just effective at restoring
energy. The therapy can also help with pain, emotional distress and other
cancer complications
JIN SHIN JYUTSU: HEALING BODY AND MIND
WITH THE HANDS
Babies suck their thumbs seeking comfort.
Politicians speak with their hands close to their bodies to calm themselves
down. And walkers make fists to carry themselves forward more safely. All of
them, though they’re unaware, are using a form of Jin Shin Jyutsu,
an ancient physio-philosophy of general health based in finger exercises. Now,
if we become aware of all of these manual impulses, the possibilities could be
enormous. And the best thing is, it’s also among the simplest of methods for
stabilizing the body’s energy. Instinctually, people place their hands on their
body to soothe themselves. For example, if we accidentally bump into an object,
we automatically want to hold that injured area.
The principles of Jin Shin Jyutsu are
nearly as old as human beings. Master Jiro Murai rediscovered those principles
about 100 years ago in Japan and devoted himself to studying and teaching them.
He learned to correct and adjust the body’s energy whenever it’s been
compromised (out of balance), and all of this simply by paying attention to the
hands. Spending just a few minutes every day can quickly put the body’s energy
into balance. Emotions like fear, anger, sadness or excessive pretence
(arrogance, pride) are quickly stabilized with Jin Shin Jyutsu.
The philosophy teaches no fixed rules as to the
time that should dedicated to each of the exercises, but about 5 minutes each
will suffice. When the body is in a more balanced state, the practitioner will
naturally know how long to spend on each finger.
Following are the basic Jin Shin Jyutsu exercises
with corresponding explanations. One should begin with the hand with which one
is most comfortable.
It’s
as Simple as 1-2-3!
You’ll
probably be surprised to learn that our ten fingers are the keys to 144,000
energy functions, and by holding each finger or thumb for just a few minutes a
day you help clean and regenerate over 14,000 functions of the body at a time!
For worry: hold the thumb
This
exercise also helps with insomnia, digestion, headache, stress and nervousness,
for calming, for skin health and for when you need to sit for a long time
(sitting can cause swelling).
For fear: hold the index
finger
This
exercise also helps teeth and gums, back pain, digestion and constipation,
self-criticism, shyness, muscular tension, kidney and bladder energy and in
situations where one needs to stand for long periods.
For anger: hold the middle
finger
This
exercise also helps blood pressure, fatigue, vision, irritability, to balance
the emotions, or the energy of the liver and when one must read a lot.
For sadness: hold the ring
finger
This
exercise also helps with hearing, respiratory functions, phlegm, skin
conditions, the energy of the lungs and large intestine and when one must be
lying for long (as during convalescence).
For added strength: hold
the little finger
Holding
the little finger also helps with heart palpitations, swelling, trying too hard
(at anything), insecurity, nervousness, with the energy of the heart and small
intestine and when one must walk a lot.
For fatigue: press the
centre of the palm
What conditions are
commonly treated by Jin Shin Jyutsu?
Patients seek JSJ
treatments for a variety of conditions including shoulder and neck pain, back
pain, sciatica, migraines, hypertension, stress, anxiety, grief, depression,
insomnia, nausea, allergies, fatigue, ulcers, PMS, cancer, acne, TMJ,
arthritis, asthma, infertility, constipation, fibromyalgia, and drug side
effects. JSJ can also
benefit the respiratory system, circulation, digestion, hormonal balance,
menopause, pregnancy, immune system, concentration, and memory.
JSJ is empowering to use, and highly regenerative
because it speeds up the body’s innate ability to heal and regenerate itself.
It boosts the immune
system, relieves stress and pain, and works to restore and maintain energy
levels.
It also helps balance and
harmonize our thoughts and emotions, and strengthen our connection with Source
energy and “higher” consciousness.
