Jin Shin For Greater Vitality And Physical, Mental, And Emotional Peace
Traditional people, during ancient times, saw no difference between mind, body, and spirit. As a result, the practices they utilized to help the body enhanced naturally their emotional, physical and spiritual harmony. In addition, people saw their ‘harmony’ and health as necessary for restoring the energy of their body back into balance.
Jin Shin jitsu also called Jin Shin Jyutsu is an age-old Oriental healing art that balances the energy of your body by utilizing the hands and fingers to bring about emotional equilibrium, ameliorate stress, relieve chronic and acute conditions, and alleviate pain. Jin Shin is non invasive and gentle. It is based on the hundred years old concepts of Eastern energy therapy, manifesting many similar principles on which acupuncture is based. However, in Jin Shin, the life force that’s utilized is discharged from the fingertips, which generates a penetrating but extremely gentle touch that aids rather than pushes the natural circulation of life energy within the body.
Our harmony and health is based on an even and free distribution of this vital energy all over our mind and body. When the strains and stress of daily living interrupts the flow of life energy, our body, mind and spirit are all affected. We not only fall to fear, worry, sadness, anger, and pretensions, we also raise the likelihood of becoming unbalanced and ill, this is when we manifest physical malady.
Jin Shin is just a way to bring back balance to our life energy. It alleviates pain, restores emotional equilibrium, and eliminates the causes of both chronic and acute health problems. It can be safely used as an adjunct to medication or any other therapy. In addition, the benefits of Jin Shin are accruing so the more Jin Shin you use the greater will be your vim and your mental, emotional and physical tranquility.
