Wonderful self care practice
Riversong Massage & Vibrational Healing Arts:
Practice simple self help Jin Shin Jyutsu and improve your quality of life, simply by holding each finger, one a time, while exhaling to the count of 3, and inhaling to the count of 3:
Holding the thumb works on your parasympathetic nervous system, much like it does for an infant when they suck the thumb. It aids digestion, calming and harmonizing the stomach & spleen & relieves worry.
Holding the ring fingers aids the breath & helps to relieve feelings of sadness, grief & loneliness. These fingers are related to our Lungs & Large Intestine.
The middle finger is helpful for releasing feelings of anger, frustration & impatience. (It's easy to remember as people tend to throw that middle finger up when they're mad!) The associated organs are Gallbladder & Liver
Hang onto the index finger when feelings of anxiety & fear are coming up for you. They help to balance both bladder & kidney energy, which are often involved in back & hip pain, and muscle tension.
Your little fingers relate to being tense before an event such as public speaking, taking tests or going on interviews, etc.. They're also helpful for both Heart & Small Intestine
In addition, each of the fingers has a direct connection to the individual vertebra of the spinal column, and the "gateways" that we practitioners refer to as SELs, also referred to as the Safety Energy Locks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The actual sites of these energetic linkages (SELs) are located at various "points" on the body, and are accessed during sessions to help clear & harmonize the whole being, mentally, emotionally & physically.
The affects of these treatments are very much like those gained with acupuncture sessions, but without the needles!
The sequences of holding the Sels are called flows, and are used specifically for addressing each individual client's needs.
We utilize pulse listening & body reading, as well as other observations in order to determine what flows to give during the course of treatment. This is all part of why Jin Shin Jyutsu is referred to as a healing art, rather than a modality.
No 2 sessions are exactly alike, for just as the our daily lives go through changes, so to our individual needs shift much like the tides do.
