Introducing Jin Shin Jyutsu: A Self-Help Class WE-01
Jin Shin Jyutsu translates as the "Art of the Creator through knowing and compassionate person." It is an ancient art of releasing the tensions which are the causes of various symptoms of discomfort. In Jin Shin Jyutsu philosophy, our bodies contain energy pathways which become blocked through daily physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stresses, resulting in pain and discomfort. We can unblock these pathways through non-forceful application of the hands to various locations on the body, giving ourselves renewed vitality, deep relaxation, pain relief, easier breathing and decreased stress. This course will introduce you to hands-on techniques for self and others, and to the history, philosophy, and theory of Jin Shin Jyutsu. Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help books will be available for purchase (optional).
