Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese art, philosophy and a powerful alternative
health practice.
It harmonizes the life energy in the body, which promotes physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health.

Some of the bene ts of Jin Shin Jyutsu are the fact that it:

> Promotes pain relief

> Induces relaxation

 > Reduces the e ects of stress

> Enhances sleep

> Decreases anxiety

> Increases circulation

> Improves concentration

> Reduces fatigue

> Enhances the immune system

> Improves the condition of skin

> Promotes regeneration

> Improves circulation and breathing

> Detoxi es

According to this tradition, each part of the hand is connected to di erent emotions or organs:

Thumb: Emotional pain, worry, sadness, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, tension, stomach issues, skin conditions,
headaches

Index Finger: Fear, terror, mental confusion, frustration, back ache, gum issues, digestive problems, kidney, bladder

Middle Finger: Anger, rage, resentment, irritability, indecisiveness, relationships, headaches, fatigue, cramps,
circulation

Ring Finger: Anxiety, preoccupation, worry, fear of rejection, negativity, skin conditions, digestion, respiratory
problems, lungs, intestine

Little Finger: Low self-esteem, family, insecurity, nervousness, judgmental, blood pressure, sore throat, bloating,
heart, intestine

Palm: Fatigue, depression, despondency, diaphragm

Here’s a simple hand exercise that takes just ve minutes:

While concentrating on whatever emotion or ailment in need of attention, hold the nger with the opposite hand
wrapping all the ngers and thumb around the particular nger being worked on. Inhale and exhale deeply.

Hold each nger for approximately one to two minutes, and within a short time, a pulsating sensation will be felt. This
is perfectly natural.

When working on the palm of the hand for mental calmness, press down with the thumb of the opposite hand,
angling towards the middle nger and again hold for one to two minutes. When pressed, the palm of the hand can
o er a full body nourishment

Inhale, breathing in calm and peaceful thoughts and feelings and then exhale letting go of any emotional attachment
or physical discomfort that you wish to clear.

While letting go of the emotional or physical tension, imagine the energy draining out of the ngers and into the
earth.

As energy channels run through the ngers and correlate with speci c emotions or organs, the energy will begin to
disperse as the exercise is practiced.

For a full body balance and harmonization repeat the exercise on every nger and hold the pressure for a little
longer.

The last line says "For a full body balance and harmonization repeat the exercise on every nger and
hold the pressure for a little longer." I took this to mean each nger and palm of each hand. I did this
today spending about 15 minutes per hand, while playing some soothing sounds. It felt very calming.
Glad I found this article.

I think depending how much uncomfortable energy you need to release, any amount could work…one
hand, one nger, just the palm. But I needed the whole shebang.

Wishing you well.

Astrid Kau man….I think that's her name….has a site called Flows for Life that has all sorts of JSJ stu
and videos. Also, there's a great book by Alice Burmeister called The Touch of Healing that's all about
JSJ. I got a new copy on eBay for a discount price and free shipping. I love JSJ….one of my favorite
" ows" is the Main Central…..so relaxing and you can do it when lying in bed and even fall asleep
during the process and it still works!
