Introduction to Jin Shin Jyutsu at Woodstock Healing Arts

This is a basic introduction to the Japanese energetic touch method called “Jin Shin Jyutsu”. JIN SHIN JYUTSU is the Art of releasing tensions which are the causes for various symptoms in the body.

Our bodies contain several energy pathways that feed life into all of our cells. When one or more of these paths become blocked, this damming effect may lead to discomfort or even pain. This blockage or stagnation will not only disrupt the local area but will continue and eventually disharmonize the complete path or paths of the energy flow.

Through Jin Shin Jyutsu our awareness is awakened to the simple fact that we are endowed with the ability to harmonize and balance ourselves (in rhythm with the universe) physically, mentally and spiritually. The terminology and primary principles will be introduced, with an emphasis on treating oneself, or “self-help”. Self-help procedures will be discussed, demonstrated, and practiced in a group setting. with plenty of time for questions or clarification.

Subjects that will be covered include: The concept of energetic touch, Basic attitudes and finger facilitators Safety Energy Locks (SELs) and their uses Daily practice options
