Self Help Hold for the Skin Surface

One night in winter, I felt that the backs of my legs were burning and I couldn’t understand why. I realised that I’d sat down somewhere very cold and my skin was burnt by frostbite! It was really quite sore – so I decided to go to bed and do this hold. I fell asleep in this position, and the next morning there was no sign of any discomfort or discoloration of the skin.

 

I also used this hold recently when an angry red blotch developed on my face. I was quite alarmed, because having lived in the tropics, my skin has endured quite a lot of sun over the years. I was quite sure that I would have to have it burnt off.

So I dutifully asked for an appointment with the dermatologist, which was given to me about 6 weeks hence! I decided I wasn’t going to wait that long to start working on it, so I did the hold below for a couple of nights in front of the TV and WOW it was so much better I could hardly see any more redness!

 

Whenever you need to clear the skin surface then do this Jin Shin Jyutsu self help hold for the skin:
(Right side)
Place your right fingers on the left center of your foot (as shown in the photo)
Grab your right little toe with your right fingers/hand
Hold!

For deeper skin projects like burns, eczema, acne, psoriasis (and even for a face lift!) do this Jin Shin Jyutsu self help hold:
Place the palm of your right hand with fingers facing down on your left calf
Place the palm of your left hand with your fingers facing down on your right calf
Hold for at least twenty minutes. (for a facelift, do this 20 minutes every day for at least two weeks)

Donna Eden Energy Work

I love Donna Eden. It’s great to go back and revisit these exercises and incorporate them into our every day lives. I do them regularly, then forget them and then when I feel the need for them again, will go back and have a look at the videos. After doing the exercises I really feel like I have had an energising shower!

Self Help for FAST relief of Leg Cramps

Ooohhhh the pain. Ooohhh the agony. Most of us have woken up at some time or other with cramp in the leg. A few nights ago it was my right calf muscle that seized up. Thank goodness I knew what to do. I immediately dug my fingers into the backs of my knees and held on for dear life. Within 10 to 15  seconds, I promise you, no more than that, the cramp eased and disappeared. It was a pretty bad one, so my lower leg felt sore for a while but I could go back to sleep.

Remember this GEM of a Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help Hold when you have cramp in the leg, or muscle cramp anywhere in the body for that matter! It WORKS!

Self help that works: How to Overcome FATIGUE

Fatigue colours our world and affects how we feel.  There are many reasons why we might feel fatigue, but the obvious thing is that the body is crying out for rest and re-generation. Jin Shin Jyutsu is one of the most powerful ways to overcome fatigue. I say this from experience. Time after time, I have tried and tested these holds and it is absolutely amazing how my whole world can change in 20 minutes – purely because I have energised myself. I say: make fatigue a thing of the past. I can, and you can too.

The Spleen energy governs our energy levels and this exercise is very powerful for vitality and calm (one needs energy to stay calm) – 20 minutes minimum every day.

In Jin Shin Jyutsu, a sequence of HOLDS is referred to as a FLOW. The following self-help flow can be used to revitalise and re-energise the whole system, and to be ‘happy and content where ever you are’. Use it to regulate the body’s temperature (to warm the body when it’s cold, to cool the body when it’s hot), and to balance the nervous system (to calm).

Hold each step for a few minutes or until you feel you want to move to the next position.

GENERAL ENERGY REVITALISING FLOW (Spleen Flow)
(Right energy pattern)
Step 1
Place Left hand on base of spine (coccyx)
Place Right hand on right inside of heel
Step 2
Move Right hand and place on left base of rib cage and hold
Step 3
Move Left hand and place on right above breast area
Step 4
Move Left hand and place on left center of collar bone

Use Your Energy for Health and Vitality

Art by AstridStar©

Humans are multi dimensional beings. We consist of manifested energy (the physical body) and un-manifested energy (the energy body). We are made up of a complex system of energy patterns which could be likened to rivers flowing throughout our body, helping us in every moment to clean and regenerate our whole being.

This energy is an innate wisdom that we use naturally and most often unknowingly to revitalize and regenerate ourselves. For the last 10 years, I have studied an ancient healing art where you place the fingers and hands on specific energy sites located on the body.

Knowing where to place our hands on the body allows us to alleviate any condition (chronic and acute), results in fast pain relief, and restores health and vitality to our whole being.

My journey began over 10 years ago when I suffered from debilitating migraine headaches. I would take Ibuprofen on a regular basis, not to alleviate the migraines, but in a rather desperate attempt to prevent them.

At the time, I was already studying holistic health therapies, and I came to the conclusion very quickly that taking this drug (or any drug for that matter) was not a very good idea. My search began for a natural, non invasive cure.

Through an acquaintance I stumbled upon the ancient healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu® and a whole new world opened up to me. A world where I began to discover how to HELP MYSELF (and others!). I was delighted with the wonderful simplicity and immediate effectiveness of this Art, and still am. After a while, I was able to clear my migraines in minutes. They then became more infrequent, then more rare, then they stopped altogether.

Flows for Life is my personal way of sharing all that I have learnt and experienced in the last 10 years in an easy and practical way. My aim is simply to AWAKEN the AWARENESS of how to work with what you already have at your disposal to use, so that you KNOW HOW to use your ENERGY for health, happiness and vitality. It is simply the Getting to KNOW (Help) MYSELF.

Q&A: Burning sensation when I do Jin Shin Jyutsu exercises

Question: First of all, thank you for sharing the Jin Shin Jyutsu information on your blog. I have been getting burning sensentions (heat) on my hands and feet when doing some of the holds – I would like to know if this is normal or does this mean anything? The second issue is when I do the Main Central holds, I get very uncomfortable and exausted and do not feel like continuing with the holds – Is there anything I can do to fix this. RN

Answer: Hot / cold hands and feet are a reaction to the energy starting to move through blocks – its a really good sign. As is the exhaustion you feel when doing the exercises. When you begin to do Jin Shin Jyutsu you start releasing years of stuff and this release creates the exhaustion which should go after a while – if you feel uncomfortable at any point when you are doing an exercise I suggest two things: move on to the next hold and if there is no relief then stop the exercise for a few hours or a couple of days and then do it again from where you left off – do a few minutes at a time.

Most importantly, experiment and listen to what your body is telling you. You will notice a change in time. I remember the first Jin Shin Jyutsu class I went to. By day four I had released so much stuff that all I could do was lie on a couch and hope that the information would go in through the pores of my skin! So I feel these are all good signs that the exercises are working – just take it easy and monitor the changes that you experience.

Lack of Salt is Hazardous to Your Health

For years I believed that salt was bad for you. Well it is if it’s not the right salt, but your body can’t function without salt. More coming up soon in a post…..

Comment: Trinity Exercises Straighten My Toes!

Comment: ‘Almost’ every morning i do what the book calls the “triple flows” (or something like that)…what you were describing. Before i found JSJ my toes would sometimes curl up or spasm…These processes have almost straightened out the toes completely.

Reply: It’s wonderful to see Jin Shin Jyutsu in ACTION. When the energy is not flowing ‘properly’ – down the front and up the back, it can show in the feet apart from many other things. The TRINITY EXERCISES (i.e. ‘triple flows’ you referred to) are complete and powerful and help everything. If we all harmonised ourselves every day with these three exercises which are MAIN CENTRAL, Left and Right Side (Supervisors) and Crossing Energies (Mediator), we would always be HAPPY and HEALTHY. In the meantime, these exercises sort out the toes. Marvellous comment, thank you.

Q&A: Self Help for Adrenal Exhaustion?

Question: I wish to help long term adrenal weakness and now very exhausted adrenals.

Answer: The key to the adrenals is SEL 23. They are located at the back (middle back), at the level of the elbows. You can hold them while sitting or lying. See link for the SEL chart and the location of the energy sites called the SEL 23s. Also, the Main Central exercise is very important – would benefit you GREATLY to do this exercise every day – there is one hold within this exercise which is very BENEFICIAL for the adrenals and your energy levels – do it often throughout the day. See link to exercise MAIN CENTRAL SOURCE OF LIFE and see particularly the step R1 (right hand on top of head) and L5 (left fingers at the base of the sternum) – very powerful

Jin Shin Jyutsu for HAPPINESS – SMILE

‘When your mind is happy, your world is happy, your life is filled with happiness and you therefore remain ever-healthy’

I saw this today on blissfulmusic.com The mind can be a real enemy when it comes to being HAPPY. That’s one of the reasons why Mary chose the self-help flows she did – to help clear the mind. See this older post Jin Shin Jyutsu to GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD – SMILE :)
