What is Jin Shin Jyutsu?
Jin Shin Jyustsu is a quiet, deeply relaxing way of resetting and balancing your body’s energy system. Known as the Grandmother of Acupuncture, Jin Shin Jyutsu has been refined over thousands of years, this eastern art employs gentle touch to stimulate the movement of energy in the body and release energy blockages that interfere with proper healing. In the process, it generates a profound sense of internal well being, renewed energy and vigor.
Our bodies are composed of an amazing array of systems that work cooperatively so that we may experience life. Among them are the circulatory system, skeletal system, muscular system, lymph system, endocrine system, digestive system and neurological system. One system that is little understood in western cultures but has been studied for thousands of years in eastern cultures is our energy system.
Our energy system is what animates us. It inspires the heart to beat and cells to divide. It binds the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe so that our bodies can move and all our other systems can function. Deeper still, it binds and organizes the atomic particles necessary for an organism to exist at all.
The stimulation and movement of energy in our bodies is what makes life possible. There are many ways we stimulate our energy system without even realizing it, such as exercising, scratching an itch or holding a tender joint. Other ways are more deliberate, such as massage, acupuncture and acupressure. Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient eastern art that employs simple touch to stimulate 26 points on each side of the body. When stimulated in a certain order, these points (we call them Safety Energy Locks) work together to open any of the thousands of highly defined energy pathways in the body.
