Jin Shin Jyutsu for Fatigue
In one of the first Jin Shin Jyutsu classes I attended, the teacher said: “You need energy to be calm.” For me, this was a huge revelation but it rang very true.

It helps me breathe, it moves the lympth, and it clears the back as well as the waistline – in essence, helping everything!
