Jin Shin Jyutsu
(The Japanese Art of Healing)
I started studying Jin Shin Jyutsu in April of 2009 as a result of some remarkable "healings" my friend Chris performed on my body. I would sit in her session chair, and she would use her hands as jumper cables and touch points on my body to help the energy move. It is similar to acupressure in that way. She explained Jin Shin Jyutsu was a Japanese form of healing which I could easily learn to do on myself. She was right!!!
​
I ordered a DVD from the Institute and have been using my own hands as jumper cables ever since. While doing so, I feel twitches and tingles, in various parts of my body, and my digestive system gurgles as it moves things along. I offer Jin Shin Jyutsu Meditation at my healing seminars.
