Relieving digestive problems.
Peter’s story…
Peter’s Jin Shin Jyutsu Story started when a colleague enthused to him about this Universal Art of harmonising the life energy in the body.
Peter writes:
I have been a homeopath since 1984. I first heard about Jin Shin Jyutsu when studying the Homeopathic Tissue Salts with a colleague.
She attended a Self-Help introductory workshop in London that same weekend and told me about it and how excited she was.
Three months later my journey in Jin Shin Jyutsu began.
I studied The Touch of Healing by Alice Burmeister and then started my first of four (to date) 5-Day training seminars in September 2010.
The first great result with Jin Shin Jyutsu
My first really great result came when my wife and I visited friends in the South of France. They spoiled us the first evening we arrived; there was so much beautiful rich food, cheeses, pate and wine, none of which we were really used to consuming.
By bedtime I suddenly realised that the meal was sitting like a stone in my guts! “Never going to get to sleep”, I thought to myself.
Luckily I remembered that holding the ‘points’ on the crease of both my elbows could relieve digestive problems.
Sure enough, and without any exaggeration, within 5 minutes of starting to hold both these points I felt relief. I went to sleep, slept like a baby and woke up refreshed and feeling great!

Exercise for Digestion
Astrid’s note on the exercise:
Cross the arms.
It doesn’t matter which arm is above the other – cross them the way that is most comfortable for you.
Then place the right fingers on the crease of the left elbow and place the left fingers on the crease of the right elbow. Relax the hands. Hold until there is relief.
This hold also helps with: chest (lungs and breasts) congestion, back and hip tension.
