Jin Shin Jyutsu How To Practice this Art

Introduction
I often describe Jin Shin Jyutsu as ‘Acupuncture with the fingers’, but it involves no manipulation, pressure or massage, so it is safe for every body from 0-100+ years of age. This ancient healing Art harmonises and balances the life energy in the body by using the fingers and hands (over clothing) to alleviate symptoms of discomfort and disharmony. This ‘energy medicine’ is a gentle, yet powerful tool for health and well-being which is simple to learn and has immediate benefit.

Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study, self help. Through the process of ‘Now Know MYSELF’ we recognize the wisdom of the body, and we learn to interpret the messages provided and utilize them to restore balance. Jin Shin Jyutsu can be applied by a practitioner, but it is also powerful and effective as self help.

The Jin Shin Jyutsu Treatment (by a Practitioner)
The client lies face up and fully clothed. The JSJ practitioner uses light touch on the body over particular energy sites called Safety Energy Locks along energy pathways. Two energy sites are held simultaneously until the tension or congestion is released. Then one hand is moved to another energy site, and along areas of the body where there is tension. Each energy site can take seconds or minutes to release and re-energise. Treatments generally take 45 minutes to an hour.

Repeated treatments depend on the individual and the particular situation. Often it is for no particular ‘problem’, but as a preventative ‘tune up’ or just to treat oneself to a nurturing, relaxing and revitalising hour. After several Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments, a person can really feel the difference and has a sense of real balance and vitality, so they are better able to distinguish when they are out of balance.

Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help
Involves the same procedure as above, only difference is that one places ones own hands on the body.

The Main Central – Our Total Harmonizer

The Main Central connects us directly to the universal source of energy and harmonises our total being. The energy flows DOWN the front of the body and UP the back of the body, in an oval circuit, creating the ’0′ – the zero – the nothingness and the oneness from which point everything is possible. The Main Central is the primary harmonizing energy flow in the body. If you practise this exercise every day you will be regenerating and revitalising every aspect of your being.

‘Spirit is the highest form of Matter,
Matter is the lowest form of Spirit.’

26 Safety Energy Locks: The KEYS to our HARMONY

Jin Shin Jyutsu employs 26 ‘Safety Energy Locks’ or energy sites as I sometimes call them, along energy pathways that feed life into our bodies. When one or more of the paths become blocked, the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually disharmonise the complete path of the energy flow.

Holding these energy locks in combination can bring balance to the whole being. Holding these energy sites in a combination of special sequences is what we term a ‘Flow’. The one who invented the saying ‘to be in the flow’ really knew what she was talking about…

Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study, self help. Through the process of ‘Now Know MYSELF’ we learn to recognise the wisdom of the body, to interpret the messages provided and to utilise them to restore balance.
