High Touch Jin Shin Acupressure
As of February 2009, I am a certified High Touch Jin Shin Acupressure Practitioner. I completed the Self-Care workshop and Level 1 in 2008, schooled through Cycles of Life, in Kitchener. Fortunately this modality allowed me to strengthen my laterality challenges.
I find it amazing how our body can hold on to memories we don't remember, or events we thought we have dealt with. Jin Shin releases blocked energy in layers. We can't get to the bottom of the layer until the top layers are cleared. We all react differently when layers are cleared out, and self-care is important after any energy session.
To give you an idea of a potential flow options (wording is from 'High Touch, Jin Shin Workbook I)', for example:
MAIN CENTRAL VERTICAL: "this flow gives energy an overall tune-up to the whole being. It is the major centering flow. It balances the appetite, clears the eye, head, throat, chest, digestive organs, pelvis, back, lymph, blood, and nervous systems. It energizes the being's life source."
LUNG FLOW: "Characteristic profile of blocked Lung Flow: Heavy mucus production, grief, sorrow, shock, melancholy, needing to lie down a lot, feeling physically weak, diminished common sense and sense of humor, diminished mental clarity, conniving personality, anguished longing, insecurity, immaturity, living in the past, negative attitude, emotional imbalance."
SMALL INTESTINE FLOW: "Characteristic profile of blocked Small Intestine Flow: pretense, crying on the inside, laughing on the outside, inappropriate joy, masking feelings, insecurity, confusion, trying too hard, hyperactivity or lethargy, too cold or too hot, nervous system, faintheartedness, seriousness, shyness, afraid to play."
DIZZINESS FLOW: "Use for heart conditions, back stiffness, eye and ear problems, coughs, colds, fussiness, and dizziness."
There are also combination numbered flows (wording from High Touch, Jin Shin Workbook II, for example:
#2 Flow: "Traditionally, #2 Flow has been used for, abdominal pain, lower and upper back, bladder, constipation & diarrhea, fear, feet puffy, grief, ground us in the physical form, hemorrhoids, hips, infertility, swollen and tense legs, pelvic girdle, pelvic surgery recovery, during and after pregnancy, prostrate, reproductive area and organs, sciatica, urinary system."
#20 Flow: "Traditionally, #20 Flow has been used for, anemia, dizziness, high blood pressure, brain stress, colds, cough, mucus, digestive organs, same side, chest/heart tension, ears, hearing, eating excessive indigestible foods, eyes, vision and eye shape, facial tension, head tension/ache, heavy head, mental bondage, neck stiffness, sinus."
There is also the 26 energy points to work with (wording from High Touch, Jin Shin Workbook I, picture below), for example:
Point 1: "is the first mover. It takes us into the new. It rejuvenates all the other points and unlocks all five physical depths. It pulls waist up tensions down. 1s and high 1s clear the abdomen and digestive organs."
Point 8: "is our magic, ruling all the unexplainable and bringing us illumination. The 8s release tension in the head, abdomen, digestive organs, legs, knees, reproductive organs, pelvic girdle, and muscles."
Point 15: "brings us true joy, filling the heart with happiness. The 15s release tension in the back, heart, blood system, bones, pelvis, hips, legs, and sexual organs."
Point 26: "is the final completion where all that was, is, and will be come together in perfect harmony. The 26s release everything."
High Touch Jin Shin Acupressure also incorporates Energy Cycles of the Body, The Five Elements, Qualities of the Organ Flows, Ying/Yang time of day, and Finger release of Mental & Emotional states.
A Jin Shin Session...
I have a client's questionnaire for my first time clients to fill out. You may suggest what your healing focus is, as well, Jin Shin application may nudge us in a different direction as well.
As with all energy sessions, I create a relaxing atmosphere with dimmed lights, candles, incense, and soft music. I have lots of blankets and pillows to ensure every client's session is as comfortable as possible. I may or may no ask you to loosen tight belts or anything that may restrict you from breathing with ease. Shoes are usually removed. I also prepare myself, through breathing techniques to ensure I'm grounded and able to provide the highest level of healing to serve our Higher Selves for that moment
Once I complete a pulse reading (explained above), each flow option may take a few minutes to a longer timeframe. What I am working with is to 'feel' a balance of pulse with each hand/finger position, before moving to the next flow-step. Although your pulse reading may indicate several flow options, time may not allow for all of them, and after each flow, I may check your pulse reading again, in the event, the first flow corrected one of the other pulse readings.
If possible, I may have to ask the client to move his/her leg or arm to allow me to complete the a flow.
Client may feel their own pulse under my fingers, and they may also feel a movement happening, but can't quite explain it. Most clients do feel something with some or most flows.
Depending on how many flows we can complete in a session, as always, I advise the client to do self-care once home, to allow the shifting to do it's work.
It's definitely an incredible experience !
Using a pulse reading, which involves me placing my three middle fingers on pulse points on the outside of each inner wrist, pressing gently until i feel pulses. Using your pulse as an answering tool, this is the way the beginning questions are answered. Documenting your pulse pattern (to answers) on paper will define which flow to facilitate. I have several flow charts to work from.
Working with Universal Life Force energy, Jin Shin works with 26 bilateral energy release points. These act like circuit breakers during a treatment to open the body's energy flow by gently touching and holding certain points, using the tip of my finger. I stay on the bilateral energy release points until I feel a pulse on both sides. When the release points are open the energy flows freely. When the release points are blocked, the energy flow stops or slows down, with this part of our body may not functioning properly. A blockage in the flow of energy results in an energy imbalance and can lead to discomfort on a physical or emotional level.I find it amazing how our body can hold on to memories we don't remember, or events we thought we have dealt with.
