Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle art from ancient Japanese tradition, which promotes optimal health and well-being and facilitates our own profound healing capacity.

Use of Jin Shin Jyutsu is an innate part of our natural functioning, when a child sucks his thumb or fingers, when an individual preses hes fingers to his forehead to concentrate, when you instantly reach to hold the point of a painful injury - these are a few examples of the instinctive reflexes which make use of the Jin Shin Jyutsu concept.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is applied by a trained practitioner, and as self-help. It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated energy locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow. This facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which accoumulate through normal daily living.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a valuable complement to conventional healing methods. Jin Shin Jyutsu induces relaxation, and greatly reduces the effects of stress. Stress has been widely recognized as causing everything from minor aches and pains to chronic health problems. The deep relaxation derived from Jin Shin brings balance to the body's energies, allowing the body to function better, feel better and heal more quickly.

Unlike other " alternative treatments," Jin Shin is not simply a mechanical technique. It is an art, a philosophy, an involvement with the body's total harmony as it relates to well-being. This explains it's greater complexity, subtlety, and more extensive effects.

Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self-study and 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.

For those of us addressing existing stress or health disharmonies, or for those simply wishing to participate actively in maintaining health, harmony and well-being, the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a simple and powerful tool available to all. Jin Shin Jyutsu has a long history, and a growing following around the world.
