Do you ever feel like someone is sitting on your chest? Like you can’t take a deep breath? Like you can’t stop the thoughts from racing in your brain?

Anxiety is an everyday reality for many and and occasional problem for almost everyone. There are just too many things to worry about, juggle and resolve. Too much information to process!

What to do? The way I see it, you have 3 options: 1) take a pill; 2) go live in a cave or 3) experience a Jin Shin Jyutsu series to clear the anxiety from your system.

Let’s assume that you want to avoid the drugs (or find that you don’t like the side effects) and cave dwelling is not a realistic option. That leaves Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ). JSJ is an ancient Japanese Healing practice, which predates acupressure and acupuncture. Like acupuncture, it works on the energetic flows of the body, but without the needling.

While Jin Shin Jyutsu is fairly new to the Midwest, hospitals across America and around the world have practitioners on site to help alleviate anxiety and pain, enhance the immune system, balance digestion, prevent chronic fatigue, and achieve emotional equilibrium.

The Jin Shin Jyutsu perspective of your state of health or disharmony is based on how the energy flows in your body. A JSJ practitioner is trained to assess your energetic flows by feeling for “pulses” and noticing how you hold the body. During a session, you lie on a table, fully clothed, while the practitioner uses her hands as “jumper cables” along critical energy centers of your body. The experience is safe, harmonizing and relaxing.

Clients commonly report great relief from anxiety, especially with a series of sessions. Seasoned Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioners can also provide clients with simple self-help techniques to support the body between sessions.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AS A PATIENT?
The patient remains fully clothed and lies faces up on a comfortable
surface. The Practitioner places hands on the patient’s wrists to
examine several energy pulses. Depending on the energy
imbalances detected, the practitioner gently places hands on
various combinations of the body (the SELs) and
releases energy blockages along particular pathways. Clients typically report that Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments are deeply relaxing AND their body is self-healing.
At the end of the session, the practitioner may suggest self-help
exercises.
