Known as the 'grandmother of acupuncture' this ancient healing
system has been revived and recently introduced to Britain. The practice
of JSJ is to release the tensions which cause discomfort and illness, whether
physical, emotional or mental. By becoming aware of the subtle energy flows
within the body and understanding how they affect our minds and bodies we
become empowered to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
JSJ is based on the principles of traditional oriental medicine - there is
a network of energy meridians in the body which feed energy to all our cells.
If you imagine that a human being has a framework composed of energy as well
as a physical one, sometimes this framework gets out of alignment without
it being obvious that the physical body is affected. If the energetic system
is in harmony then the person leads a happy, normal life - free of illness.
If the energetic system becomes misaligned, then the physical body starts
to feel the effect, leading to health problems which could be physical, emotional
or mental. The energetic system becomes misaligned in a number of ways:-
Jin Shin Jyutsu realigns the energy system and encourages energy flow.
The practitioner's hands act as "jumper cables" or "jump leads" to, as it
were, "kick start" the correct energy flow once again. Everybody has the
capacity to use the energy flowing through their hands to help another person
in need.
There is an initial consultation to ascertain how the patient is feeling
and this gives an opportunity for the patient to describe any symptoms being
experienced. The receiver remains clothed and lies face-up on a cushioned
surface. After "listening" to the energy pulses in the wrists, a practitioner
employs a harmonising sequence or "flow", appropriate for unblocking particular
pathways and restoring the energy to the rhythm of the universe
For example, to help nervous system flow, the practitioner might place her
hands on the coccyx, ankle, ribs and chest in a special sequence of hand
positions. This stimulates the circulation of energy along that particular
pathway. There are many such pathways in the body, each with a distinct function
or essence. A treatment lasts about one hour.
To a certain extent, the experience of JSJ is unique to each person for each
session. Some people may feel hot or cold, twitch or feel a sensation or
tingling in another part of their body other than the one where the practitioner
is working. Some patients experience a release of pent-up emotion or wonderful
laughter. For the most part the usual effect is of deep relaxation.
Jin Shin allows the tensions which cause discomfort to evaporate, release
or fade away. Rather than "doing something" to the body it encourages the
body to "let go" which is a very special experience.
It is a path to awakening the awareness of complete harmony within the self
and the universe.
A Jin Shin practitioner will also teach clients how to maintain their own
health and harmony. The client is not dependent upon the therapist - self-help
classes and books are available to learn how to do this for oneself and family.
This obviously depends on many factors - children and animals respond more
quickly because they have built up less "debris" over the years. Very serious
conditions may need, say, ten sessions fairly close together to clear the
energy system. Most people feel the benefits straight away. Some people opt
for a "fine tuning" as and when they feel the need. A Jin Shin treatment
costs.
It is also possible to arrange a residential course of treatments. The North
Wales Clinic of Relaxation faces the sea in a beautiful location Llanfairfechan
is easily accessible by road or rail and is situated on the edge of the Snowdonia
National Park.
