Jin Shin Jyutsu to Warm the Body

While many of us are using Jin Shin Jyutsu self help holds to COOL the body this summer, there are others in the Southern hemisphere who are trying to WARM the body.

For those of you who are going into winter and want to stay warm, here are some Jin Shin Jyutsu tips:


1. To warm the body (or to cool the body) have a look at this older post Spleen Flow

2. The Mediator Flow is great to regulate the temperature in the body (KEY: energy site number 23 in the small of the back left and right side)

3. Safety Energy Lock 8 (on the outside of the knees) - left side see the Safety Energy Locks Chart

4. Hold the little finger - helps the FIRE energy in the body

I heard Jed Schwartz say in one of the Jin Shin Jyutsu 5 Day Basic Seminars, that Master Jiro Murai only ever wore a wool tunic - whether it was 10 or 90 degrees. He would use Jin Shin Jyutsu holds to regulate his body temperature. Isn't that cool?

Q&A: Jin Shin Jyutsu To Keep You Cool This Summer

Question: 'I wanted to know whether there are specific holds that can help for people like me who cannot take the heat literally: (meaning that my body doesn't seem to be able to cool down anymore when the temperature rises to above 25 degrees celcius for a couple of days). I thrive when the temperature is at around 18-22, but my internal airco seems to break down when we have a couple of consecutive days of sunny hot weather. The symptoms are that I feel a constant light pressure around my head and my eyes and my face turns all red and feels flushed and overheated, I become all sweaty, my feet start to overheat and swell up, and all these symptoms last until the temperature goes down (I'm a nordic type - blonde, blue eyes, pale skin, burn easily) ... You can imagine that every time there is a heat wave predicted here, I really really hope that it won't last for more than a few days...Any advice to deal with this with the help of JSJ holds would be more than welcome. A from Belgium

Answer: Summer is fun but summer is also difficult for many of us who can't take the heat very well. So when I discovered that Jin Shin Jyutsu could help me regulate my body temperature, I was overjoyed! Jed Schwartz mentioned in a class that Master Jiro Murai only ever wore a wool tunic - come heat or cold. He regulated his body temperature with his hands! And so can you -

So here are some Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help Holds for staying cool this summer: 1. Self Help Hold for the Deep Skin

2. There is an energy site on the outside of the knee and one of it's main functions is to regulate the temperature in the body. It is energy site (SEL) number 8. Hold the right one to cool the body, hold the left one to warm the body. I always forget which one is which so I just hold them both, and the body knows what to do!!! See the 26 safety energy locks chart for the position of the number 8s.

3. Try also this following sequence of steps to help regulate the temperature in the body - use it to cool the body down or to warm the body up. See this older post Self Help Flow to Cool the Body

Q&A: Jin Shin Jyutsu for (Deep) Skin Conditions

Question: Hello. Thank you for your blog on self help holds with Jin Shin Jyutsu. I broke out in eczema on my body 8 years ago, starting from the back of my neck and during the first year it spread to various parts of my body then gradually disappeared after 3 years. The only spot that still exists is covering all over the back of my neck, which is no longer red but still itches quite often and is a bit swollen, though I no longer feel pain when I tilt my head back. I was told that I now have scleroderma. Would you have any suggestions what points I can hold to help heal this condition? Thank you, I would really appreciate your advice. - D

Answer: Hi D - The special body function for the skin is to palm the calves. At least 20 minutes a day and if you can, twice a day for at least two weeks. See this older post Self Help for the Deep Skin. There is also another special function energy hold for the Skin Surface. Place the fingers of the right hand under the left foot at center of the sole, and with the left hand hold the left little toe. Reverse the hands for the other side. This hold is particularly great for any itchiness of the skin. It also purifies the skin. It would also help to do the Main Central Exercise (see the older post) to harmonise your whole being and help sort out the underlying causes i.e. the immune system (you could also work on the immune system, not to stimulate it, but to harmonise it with this Immune System Hold. And finally hold your Thumb for skin surface, and your Ring finger (either side) for deep skin. Hope all this helps! - Astrid

Note: Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Scleroderma is characterized by the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the skin and organs of the body. The cause of scleroderma is not known (medicinenet.com)

Q&A: Jin Shin Jyutsu to help the Heart and Breathing

Question: My mum has been in hospital with difficulty breathing due to fluid on the lungs caused by an irregular heartbeat (well I think that’s what it was – doctors not very specific on cause), she also picked up a Urinary Tract Infection which is now under control. She’s at home now and while progressing I’d like to do as much as I can to give her the best quality of life. I’ve had the JSJ book – The Touch of Healing for some time and something moved me to get it out and have a read through it again. I’ve started doing the finger holds each day but would really appreciate your suggestions to strenghthen the heart and reduce fluid on the lungs. Also anything specific to help the breathing. Thank you so much for your very informative blog on JSJ – it’s such a beautiful gentle process. - JF

Answer: Dear JF - Holding the fingers is a GREAT start! You are helping your mother tremendously by holding them. Chapter 3 in The Touch of Healing talks about the Trinity Flows: The Main Central, Supervisors and Mediator. Supervisors are very easy and very powerful. See an older post here for The Jin Shin Jyutsu Trinity Flows.

Holding Opposite Fingers and Toes for Total Harmony

Towards the end of the book, there is a chapter called Harmonising with the Fingers and Toes. Go to Palms and Soles: Revitalising the Entire Being. Read through that whole section and especially the thumbs and opposite little toes - this sequence is for difficulty breathing and irregular heartbeat. The whole harmonising exercise is quite simple to do on another person: sit on the right side of your mother (make sure you are comfortable and relaxed), and with your left hand, hold her left thumb. With your right hand, hold her right little toe. Hold for a few minutes, until you feel a ryhthmic pulse that might start banging quite loudly for a while. Let it settle down, then move onto the next finger and toe. With your left hand, hold the left index finger, and with your right hand hold right ring toe. Hold for a few minutes. Then move onto the middle finger and opposite middle toe, then to the ring finger and opposite index toe, then to the little finger and opposite big toe.

You could do each finger and toe for 5 minutes each on one side which is 25 minutes (as a guide use the pulse as well!) and then sit on the left side and reverse the hands. This exercise is very powerful and it is such a gift to receive it, especially because it's not that comfortable to do as self help!

So I hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions or doubts just send me an email.

Finally, if there is ANY pain during this exercise that lasts more than a few seconds, then STOP what you are doing and go to the PAIN HOLD until it clears - PAIN is a good sign that the energy is moving - but there's no reason to have to suffer unduly!

Q&A: Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help for Osteoporosis


Question: What flow do you suggest for Ostoporosis diagnosis, a 75 year old woman with 4% bone loss. She has two stents from 2 heart attacks and terrible anaphalactic reactions to bees. But that's really everything, though the ostoporosis diagnosis was this week so I am upset, what can we do? I studied with Mary years ago at a workshop in NY (1982?) - S

Answer: Hi S, Thanks for your questions. Let's deal with one thing at a time.

Osteoporosis
is characterized by the loss of normal density of bone, resulting in fragile bone. It can go undetected for years. Osteoporosis leads to literally abnormally porous bone. This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone causing an increase in the risk for breaking bones (information by Medicinenet.com)

The good news is that there is a special Jin Shin Jyutsu hold that can help. You can apply it to someone else, or the person can apply it as self help. Do it every day for at least 20 minutes and if possible, 2x a day for at least two weeks and keep going! (This Special Body Function hold is on page 54 of Mary's Text 2).

The Jin Shin Jyutsu Hold for Osteoporosis: Place Left hand over Left Shoulder ( SEL 11/3) and Right hand on the Left elbow crease (SEL 19). See the diagram.

This hold helps with the conditions of osteoporosis, all arthritic projects, and the heart. It also lubricates the joints, and helps with nearsightedness.

Also, Main Central everyday and even the Trinity Exercises would also help tremendously with all her projects. See older posts Main Central Source of Life and The Trinity

In the case of anaphylactic shock, I resort to THE EMERGENCY HOLD, which is holding the inside of the knees (SEL 1), as well as all the other requirements in an emergency. Safety Energy Lock 1 is called The Prime Mover. It is found on the inside (medial side) of the knees. It connects extreme heights with extreme depths and harmonises us from head to toe because it helps the descending energy (which moves down the front) and the ascending energy (which moves up the back). Use in the case of any EMERGENCY - breathing, vomiting, nausea, shock, stomach cramp etc.

Additional Information: A stent is a small mesh tube that’s used to treat narrowed or weakened arteries in the body and Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that occurs rapidly and causes a life-threatening response involving the whole body. This reaction can lead to difficulty breathing and shock, so one has to act quickly (see more on medicinenet.com)

Just a few of my favourite foods with High Calcium content: Parsley, Sesame seeds, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pistachio nuts, dried Figs, Chickpeas, Dark Molasses, Raw Collards and Kale. A lot of these foods like the dried figs also have high Iron content. The list is exhaustive especially of dried spices: basil, marjoram
, thyme, dill weed, celery, sage, coriander, fennel seed, cumin seed, cinnamon and others...

Lack of Salt is Hazardous to Your Health

For years I believed that salt was bad for you. Well it is if it's not the right salt, but your body can't function without salt. More coming up soon in a post.....

Comment: Trinity Exercises Straighten My Toes!

Comment: 'Almost' every morning i do what the book calls the "triple flows" (or something like that)...what you were describing. Before i found JSJ my toes would sometimes curl up or spasm...These processes have almost straightened out the toes completely.

Reply: It's wonderful to see Jin Shin Jyutsu in ACTION. When the energy is not flowing 'properly' - down the front and up the back, it can show in the feet apart from many other things. The TRINITY EXERCISES (i.e. 'triple flows' you referred to) are complete and powerful and help everything. If we all harmonised ourselves every day with these three exercises which are MAIN CENTRAL, Left and Right Side (Supervisors) and Crossing Energies (Mediator), we would always be HAPPY and HEALTHY. In the meantime, these exercises sort out the toes. Marvellous comment, thank you.

See this link to an older post The Importance of the TRINITY in Jin Shin Jyutsu

Q&A: Self Help for Adrenal Exhaustion?

Question: I wish to help long term adrenal weakness and now very exhausted adrenals.

Answer: The key to the adrenals is SEL 23. They are located at the back (middle back), at the level of the elbows. You can hold them while sitting or lying. See link for the SEL chart and the location of the energy sites called the SEL 23s. Also, the Main Central exercise is very important - would benefit you GREATLY to do this exercise every day - there is one hold within this exercise which is very BENEFICIAL for the adrenals and your energy levels - do it often throughout the day. See link to exercise MAIN CENTRAL SOURCE OF LIFE and see particularly the step R1 (right hand on top of head) and L5 (left fingers at the base of the sternum) - very powerful

Comment: Immune Boosting Hold WORKS!

Comment: This spring I've been getting every cold there is, and it felt like I've been constantly sick. So when my live-in boyfriend got a really bad cold, I was just counting down the days till I got it, too. I decided to try this JSJ hold, and it felt really good and relaxing to do. And I could not believe it but I actually did not catch this cold! Of course, it could be a coincidence, but I'll be trying this next time I'm starting to feel a cold coming on! :) - Anne

Thanks Anne for your comment, and I'm glad you experienced the power of this Immune Boosting Jin Shin Jyutsu Hold. In my experience, it's not a coincidence: it works EVERYTIME, and most effectively at the first symptoms of a cold or a sore throat.

So the Immune Boosting Hold again here: Place your left hand over your right shoulder (so that your fingers are over SEL11 and SEL 3) and place your right hand on your right groin (SEL 15). Vice versa for the other side. Hold for a few minutes, or at least 20-30 minutes at a time. If you have a sore throat, this will clear it in minutes. Hold the side of the sore throat. Sometimes, my sore throats clears up in SECONDS with this powerful Jin Shin Jyutsu Hold. Original Post Immune Boosting Hold

Jin Shin Jyutsu for HAPPINESS - SMILE

'When your mind is happy, your world is happy, your life is filled with happiness and you therefore remain ever-healthy'

I saw this today on blissfulmusic.com The mind can be a real enemy when it comes to being HAPPY. That's one of the reasons why Mary chose the self-help flows she did - to help clear the mind. See this older post Jin Shin Jyutsu to GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD - SMILE :)

Jin Shin What?

Very often one of the biggest stumbling blocks I come across when I explain this wonderful Ancient Healing Art is the name. The reaction I gave when I first heard about it was 'Jin Shin What?' And it took me at least two years into my studies to spell it correctly (joke...but actually no, true). There is also the subtletly of the pronunciation - continuous discussions in class which have brought up the differences.

For instance. When I first came across Jin Shin Jyutsu I discovered that it was pronounced as jin shin jitsu (jitsoo) - but subsequently I realised (or maybe it just took me 8 years to HEAR this bit of information in class, as often happens) that the pronunciation of Jin Shin Jyutsu as jin shin jitsu, or jin shin jutsu (jootsoo) have very different meanings indeed. As far as I understand it, Jitsu means Technique and Jutsu means Art.

So The Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion - Over the last 10 years I have observed that people call this Art different things depending on where they are at in their UNDERSTANDING of it. It's very interesting. Not surprising that for a long time I called it just Jin Shin. Any comments on this?

Jin Shin Jyutsu to RELEASE TENSION

Dis-harmony. Dis-comfort. Pain. Dis-ease. A way to look at all of these labels is to recognise that they are the (in many cases longterm) effect of TENSION. Tension manifests itself in many different ways. I had a client years ago who had been told she had breast cancer. She was terrified. She had had surgery, and was still terrified of what was going to happen to her and what 'they' were going to do to her. The first treatment I gave her was incredible. I hardly touched her and her whole body shook uncontrollably. There was SO much tension to be released. I felt so sorry for her. After a few minutes of this shaking I got the feeling to go to her feet. I started massaging them. Her shaking immediately stopped and so I kept going. She relaxed (finally!). Next treatment there was less shaking.

Going to the feet (SEL 5, 6, 7, 16, and 24 are found in the feet) helps to move the energy DOWN. I would have also had a positive effect if I had just held SEL 7s (on the big toes), but because the tension was so acute I needed to have my hands everywhere on her feet and toes. Also, I remembered that once, when I woke up from a bad dream (very unusual for me), I was shaking - an internal shaking like shock. I immediately went to the SEL 24s to harmonise the CHAOS, and immediately it worked! So mothers, remember the 24s for your children when they have bad dreams. It's also why going to the feet helped my client with acute muscle tension. (The energy site number 24 is found down from the ankle on the top of the foot and below the little toe - see the diagram 26 Safety Energy Locks on this JSJ blog).


Tension can be physical, emotional, mental. And one level can carry and many times does carry into another level. Jin Shin Jyutsu is about releasing tensions - when you release tension you breathe more easily and you HARMONISE. As simple as that.

So, easy way to clean away tension is to do these JSJ exercises every day (see link to older post).

Q&A: 'Missing Step' Main Central

Question: Hello, The Alice Burmeister book shows fewer points for the main central. [Touch of Healing]i am interested to find out why.Thank you, js

Answer: Hello, JS. Thanks for your question and well spotted! My honest answer is that I don't know exactly why one step that appears on the Main Central Exercise on my blog does NOT appear in the book The Touch of Healing. The step is number L6 which places the left fingers above the belly button. Now, I can tell you from experience, that the previous step - placing left fingers at the bottom of the sternum (xiphoid process) has a deeply harmonising effect for the whole of the abdominal area, so in most cases the following step would be 'superfluous'. However, I have also had the experience that working with the right hand at the top of the head and the left fingers above the belly button has helped me tremendously to harmonise any stomach, digestive discomfort or cramping. The thing is - there is no ultimate right or wrong, and as Mary used to say: 'Be your own testimony'. Have FUN! Astrid
PS Afterthought on this. It is possible that the diagram also attempts to follow the chakras - the 'missing step' places the fingers above the navel which is the area of the base (orange) chakra. But as I said before: it's not about right or wrong, it's about how efficient a hold works for each individual.

What is Jin Shin Jyutsu? Part 2

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient and gentle Japanese healing art that is used to harmonise the breath. By harmonising the breath, we harmonise our mind, body and soul - Jin Shin Jyutsu literally means The Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion.

Jin Shin Jyutsu teaches us how to rediscover our innate wisdom to KNOW (Help) MYSELF. It can be practiced as self help, or one can receive treatment from a practitioner.

People often ask me: 'How does Jin Shin Jyutsu WORK?' I was thinking of another analogy just yesterday: Take a house with light switches. Every house has light switches, but in the dark, if you don't know the house you have to first find the light switch before you can turn it on. Our body is the house, and we have 26 'light switches' on the right side and left side of the body (they are mirror images of each other). When we know where they are, we can touch/hold them to 'turn them on', thereby getting the 'electricity' or energy to FLOW. Acupuncture for instance, achieves this with needles. In Jin Shin Jyutsu it is achieved with the fingers and hands.

If you have a question or comment about Jin Shin Jyutsu please send me an email to jsjholds@gmail.com and I will answer it.

What is Jin Shin Jyutsu? Part 1

Jin Shin Jyutsu, 'The Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion' is an ancient healing art which was rediscovered in Japan by Master Jiro Murai in the early 1900s.

Introduction
I often describe Jin Shin Jyutsu as 'Acupuncture with the fingers', but it involves no manipulation, pressure or massage, so it is safe for every body from 0-100+ years of age. This ancient healing Art harmonises and balances the life energy in the body by using the fingers and hands (over clothing) to alleviate symptoms of discomfort and disharmony. This 'energy medicine' is a gentle, yet powerful tool for health and well-being which is simple to learn and has immediate benefit. Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study, self help. Through the process of 'Now Know MYSELF' we recognize the wisdom of the body, and we learn to interpret the messages provided and utilize them to restore balance. Jin Shin Jyutsu can be applied by a practitioner, but it is also powerful and effective as self help.


The Jin Shin Jyutsu Treatment (by a Practitioner)
The client lies face up and fully clothed. The JSJ practitioner uses light touch on the body over particular energy sites called
Safety Energy Locks along energy pathways. Two energy sites are held simultaneously until the tension or congestion is released. Then one hand is moved to another energy site, and along areas of the body where there is tension. Each energy site can take seconds or minutes to release and re-energise. Treatments generally take 45 minutes to an hour. Repeated treatments depend on the individual and the particular situation. Often it is for no particular 'problem', but as a preventative 'tune up' or just to treat oneself to a nurturing, relaxing and revitalising hour. After several Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments, a person can really feel the difference and has a sense of real balance and vitality, so they are better able to distinguish when they are out of balance.

Self Help Holds with Jin Shin Jyutsu
Involves the same procedure as above, only difference is that one places ones own hands on the body.

Q&A: Jin Shin Jyutsu for Hemorrhoids

Question: I suffer from hemorroids, and I would like to look at natural ways to combat them, rather than using over-the-counter creams. I know a bit about JSJ but not a lot - is there anything simple I can do? MJ

Answer: Dear MJ - I have been meaning to put some information up on hemorrhoids for a long time now, so thank you for your question. The first thing is that you need to drink a lot of water - this will help tremendously. As hemorrhoids are a sign of de-hydration, drink lots of spring water during the day, and have a glass of water with your meals, or a herbal tea like fennel (very good for the digestion). Also, make sure you include fiber in your diet - including raw vegetables. A vitamin and mineral supplement once a day wouldn't go amiss either. Also very important is moderate exercise such as walking, or jumping gently on a trampoline.

In terms of Jin Shin Jyutsu holds there is one hold that works like a gem to clear hemorrhoids. You simply hold the outside of your knees (Safety Energy Lock 8) see the photo.
Take your left hand and curl your fingers under the ligament that is on the outside/back of the knee so that your fingers fall on the back of the knee, but not quite in the middle. At the same time, curl your right hand/fingers under the right knee. You can fall asleep on your side doing this hold, or sit in a chair.

Jin Shin Jyutsu for IBS, Colitis, Crohn's, etc

Jin Shin Jyutsu for a Healthy Digestion - on a final note. Any discomfort like diarrhea, constipation, IBS, Colitis, Crohn's disease can be helped by the Large Intestine Function Energy.

Below is the Left Flow explained (which helps diarrhea):
Place left hand on right shoulder (SEL 11) and with right hand hold the left index finger.
Then move the right hand to the third rib down on the right side (SEL 13)
Then move the right hand to the last rib on the right side (SEL 14)
Then move the right hand to the left cheekbone (SEL 21)
Then move the right hand to the right clavicle (SEL 22)
Then move the right hand to the left clavicle (SEL 22)

Reverse the order of the hands for the Right side Flow (which helps constipation)

This flow also helps the teeth, gums and jaw, as well as the wrist and shoulder. It is the key to healthy muscles. Also good to help nose bleeds.

Self Help For Fast Wound Healing: A Jin Shin Jyutsu Hold

Someone asked me a question the other day about how to heal a wound FAST with Jin Shin Jyutsu. My brain, bless it, went crazy TRYING TO (sound familiar?) look for the 'best' and of course, most complicated answer - 'do this flow and that flow and all these flows' - that's the problem when one is given such an extensively wonderful 'menu' to choose from. It was only later that I just RELAXED and I REMEMBERED how to BE instead of what to DO.

Intro - See this older post How the ENERGY moves through our hands


The EMERGENCY hold for healing a wound anywhere on the body FAST: place LEFT hand over RIGHT hand - then place the hands over the wound. See this older post for the photo and more of an explanation JSJ WOUND HEALING HOLD Helps even the deepest wound heal fast.

And while I'm at it....The EMERGENCY hold for taking anything that doesn't belong in the body (from a splinter to a piece of glass or a contact that's disappeared to the back of the eye) - and for any burns. Just place the RIGHT hand over the LEFT hand - then place the hands over the affected area. See this older post for this other Jin Shin Jyutsu Emergency Hold ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR HEALING BURNS (use this hold first to draw out the burn, then the other hold to repair the skin....)

PS Thanks for the question.
