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.
