Jin Shin Jyutsu

---

 Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is often described as “acupuncture without the needles.” This gentle healing art uses light pressure from the fingertips, applied over clothing, to specific points on the body. The intention is to balance the body’s energy system and release deep tension, which can promote optimal health and well-being. 

A typical JSJ session lasts about an hour. It begins with the practitioner discussing your current concerns, observing your body, and feeling the pulses in your wrists. Based on this assessment, the practitioner selects a harmonizing sequence or “flow” tailored to your needs. These flows are designed to unblock pathways—since discomfort and disease are believed to start with energy blockages—and help activate the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

In addition to the treatment you receive during your session, you will be taught simple self-help flows to practice at home. These flows help prolong the benefits of your sessions and ease symptoms between treatments.

 JSJ may seem simple when you first experience it, yet it delivers remarkable results both physically and emotionally. It is appropriate for individuals of all ages as well as your animal companions. JSJ supports both acute and chronic conditions, such as pain relief, muscular tension, joint stiffness, respiratory difficulties, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, gynecological issues, depression, and anxiety to name a few. Furthermore, it can be advantageous for generally healthy individuals experiencing fatigue or low energy. By promoting balance within the body’s energy system, JSJ may help reduce tiredness and enhance overall vitality. These gentle methods are valuable for those aiming to sustain well-being and manage routine feelings of exhaustion. JSJ can complement conventional medical treatments and is considered safe for integration with standard healthcare practices. 

 Each person’s experience with JSJ is unique. The most commonly reported effect is deep relaxation and an overall sense of well-being. The true benefits of Jin Shin Jyutsu are best understood by experiencing it firsthand. Many individuals find JSJ to be deeply relaxing and beneficial, both physically and emotionally.
