Acupressure

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®:
"Jin Shin Do” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.” Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Qi” or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress and trauma- related problems. A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acu-theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing & exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy, it is recognized as a major form of Asian Bodywork Therapy (by NCCAOM & AOBTA among others). Originated by psychotherapist Iona Teeguarden, JSD promotes a pleasant trancelike state, in which one can relax and move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.

What are the benefits of Jin Shin Do® ?
Jin Shin Do® raises the recipient’s awareness of Qi-blocking tension and chronic holding patterns, both emotional and physical. As the flow of Qi (life force energy) increases, it can promote healing in the affected areas and create a whole-body sense of physical ease and harmony. Jin Shin Do® has been used to relieve common conditions, including neck, shoulder and back tension/pain, joint problems, fatigue, headaches, digestive woes, chest and respiratory difficulties, insomnia, menstrual/menopausal difficulties, pelvic tension, muscular and emotional stress and tension.
