Jin Shin Do ® Body Mind
Acupressure TM
Acupressure
is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key
points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s
natural self curative abilities. When these points are pressed,
they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of
blood and the body’s life force to aid healing. Acupuncture
and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture uses
needles, while acupressure uses gentle, but firm pressure of the
hands. Acupressure is the oldest of the two traditions, and
continues to be the most effective method for self-treatment of
tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of
the human hand. Developed by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa
Teegarden, Jin Shin Do® “The Way of the Compassionate
Spirit” is based on the eight “Strange Flows” which
regulate the entire body/mind energy. It combines gentle, yet
deep finger pressure on acu-points with simple body focusing
techniques to release physical and emotional tension. The client
determines the depth of the pressure.
Jin
Shin Do
promotes a pleasurable trancelike state during which
the recipient can get in touch with the body and access feelings
or emotions related to the physical condition. This body/mind
approach is a synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure
technique, classic Chinese acupuncture theory, Taoist yogic
philosophy and breathing methods, and Reichian segmental theory.
The
client is clothed and lies on their back on a massage table,
while the practioner holds local points in tension areas
together with related distal points, which help the armored
places to release more easily and deeply. A typical session is
about 1 1/2 hours. Jin Shin Do Acupressure is effective in
helping relieve tension and fatigue, stress-related headaches
and gastro-intestinal problems, back and shoulder pain, eye
strain, menstrual and menopausal imbalances, sinus pain and
allergies. (With medical problems, the client is asked to
consult a doctor.) Over a period of 10 or more sessions,
armoring is progressively released in the head, neck, shoulders,
chest, diaphragm, abdomen, pelvis and legs. After sessions,
clients typically feel very relaxed. If the client is
responsive, there will be significantly less tension and pain
together with a sense of well being for hours or days. This
response will tend to extend after further sessions. In the case
of chronic fatigue, initially the client may
feel more tired after a session, because the body is demanding
rest.
