In today's world EVERYONE needs self-care. The stress levels are way too high with technology, extra activities, media, work or school pressures, and daily demands we are all suffering, even our children do not know how to relax. People are out of balance. It is time to stop, breathe and honor yourself! Here are some easy ways you can start helping yourself.
The beautiful thing about Jin Shin Jyutsu is that you can do it to yourself!
You can start to bring healing and relaxing energy to yourself by simply holding your fingers.
(I recommend doing this everyday- think of it as your daily dose on energy like a multi-vitamin to help keep you in balance.)
To begin take 3 slow deep breaths
- choose one hand to hold, or if you can do both hands.
- with your other hand gently grip a finger from the opposite hand.
- hold each finger for roughly 2 mins. or longer if you would like.
- hold all the fingers of one hand, and then place the finger tips of the holding hand into the center of the opposite hand that you were working on into the palm see the "X" mark for 2 mins.
- take 3 slow deep breaths again to finish.
You can do this anytime throughout your day, just complete one hand daily. If you do this at bedtime it will help put you to sleep, and most of the time people will fall asleep before they finish holding all of their fingers and that is fine.
When you look at this hand chart you will see that each finger has a negative attitude associated to it as well as different organs of the body. If you are having any issues with any of these attitudes or any organ related problems. Hold those fingers more often to help yourself.
This art form works on the energy pathways within the human body. Energy blockages can happen on these pathways from various reasons; diet, attitudes, lifestyles , medications or injuries can cause energy to slow down or be diverted which will lead to minor or even major problems somewhere in the body.
JSJ can help undo the blockages.

Lay down or sit in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and start taking 9 slow deep breaths, just feel your breath come in and out of your body.
On the next 9 breaths visualize when you exhale all that is stressing you and release all negative energy from your body. As you do this also relax your body more and more with each breath.
On the next 9 breaths image yourself floating on a cloud and with every inhale think about taking in warm loving positive energy, like a big hug. Each time you breath feel yourself getting lighter and lighter.
On the last 9 slow deep breaths, just again feel your breath come in and out of your body.
When you are finished slowly open your eyes and move your feet and hands. You have just completed 36 breaths which will re-set you, and bring you back into balance.
This simple meditation will only take you 15 mins. but hopefully you can stay and relax for longer.
