High Touch Jin Shin

In ancient times traditional people saw no distinction between body, mind and spirit. Consquently, the practices they used to assist the body naturally promoted physical, emotional and spiritual harmony. Moreover, people saw their health or 'harmony' as dependent upon bringing the body's energy into balance.

Jin Shin Jyutsu (pronounced Jin Shin jitsu) is an ancient eastern practice that balances your body's energy by using the fingers and hands to eliminate stress, create emotional equilibrium, relieve pain, and alleviate acute or chronic conditions. Jin Shin is gentle and non-invasive. The treatments follow the ancient principles of oriental energy therapy, sharing many of the same concepts upon which accupuncture is based. Jin Shin, however, utilizes the life force that emanate from our fingertips, which, when applied with a very gentle but penetrating touch, supports rather than pushes the natural flow of the body's life energy.

Our health and harmony depends upon the free and even distribution of this life energy throughout our body and mind. When the stress and strains of daily living disrupts the movement of life energy, our mind, body and spirit are all affected. Not only do we succumb to worry, fear, anger, sadness and pretensions, but we increase our tendency to become ill and out of balance and this is when physical disease manifests.

Quite simply Jin Shin is a way to balance the life energy. It restores emotional equilibrium, relieves pain, and release the causes of both acute and chronic conditions. It can be used safely in conjunction with any other therapy or medication. Furthermore, its benefits are cumulative so the more Jin Shin is used the greater our vitality and emotional, mental and physical tranquility.
