The energy body balancing "light touch/acupressure modality" of Jin Shin Jyutsu® is an ancient art of harmonizing the life force, chi, energy in the body. It helps clear both blockages and the underlying emotional states, providing a calming and balancing effect on the body, mind, and spirit. Life energy moves through the body in distinct pathways, which unify and integrate the body. Each side of the body has 26 specific sites, known as Safety Energy Locks (SELs);

Visualize the hands placed as jumper cables. Each hand holds 2 "points" at the same time, moving through sequences, based on pulse listening & body reading, as well as the symptoms that are being experienced by the client. Using only minimal pressure and with no physical manipulation of tissue, the flow of life energy along energetic pathways is redirected or unblocked. The body changes as and if it needs to. If a person comes to see you for Jin Shin Jyutsu they are there because they are ready for their consciousness to transform.

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.

The other way is to ask another person to hold your specific finger together with the corresponding vertebra at the same time for anywhere between 5-15 minutes or as regularly as needed 🙂

The body holds mental/emotional and physical memory, it often manifests as tightness/tension and pain.

All of this can be released, so that balance is restored and returned to harmony through massage and light touch energy work such as Jin Shin Jyutsu.

Our Story

The energy body balancing "Light Touch - Acupressure modality" of Jin Shin Jyutsu® is an ancient art of harmonizing the life force, chi, energy in the body. It helps clear both blockages and the underlying emotional states, providing a calming and balancing effect on the body, mind, and spirit. Life energy moves through the body in distinct pathways, which unify and integrate the body. Each side of the body has 26 specific sites, known as Safety Energy Locks (SELs); Visualize the hands placed on the body as jumper cables. Each hand holds 2 "gateway points"/ referred to as Safety Energy Locks (SEL’s) at the same time, connecting with the energy pathways of the person receiving a session. Practitioners choose which “flows” to use, based on pulse listening & body reading, as well as the symptoms that are being experienced by the client. (A “flow” is a series of holds, given in specific sequences to address acute and chronic pain, reduce and relieve stress and anxiety, clearing muscle tension and boosting the immune system) Jin Shin Jyutsu may be used for all ages and stages of life, from birth to the time of transition, for all forms of injury or illness, mental/emotional issues/ and may be given to both humans and animals. It acts much like acupuncture and acupressure in terms of its results, but without the need for needles or deep sustained pressure. JSJ is considered to be a “Light Touch” therapy, in a similar way as Reiki or Polarity modalities. Using only minimal pressure and with no physical manipulation of tissue, the flow of life energy along energetic pathways is redirected or unblocked, to restore balance & harmony. Jin Shin Jyutsu changes consciousness. The body changes as and if it needs to. If a person comes to see you for Jin Shin Jyutsu they are there because they are ready for their consciousness to transform. ~ This beautifully stated wisdom is based on statements from JSJ instructor Muriel Carlton ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Jin Shin Jyutsu physio-philosophy is the Art of releasing tensions which are the causes for various symptoms in the body. Our bodies contain several energy pathways that feed life into all of our cells. When one or more of these paths become blocked, this damming effect may lead to discomfort or even pain. This blockage or stagnation will not only disrupt the local area but will continue and eventually disharmonize the complete path or paths of the energy flow. Through the application of specific hold sequences practitioners refer to as “Flows” we are able to support the re-harmonization of the body, restoring balance to all the interrelated systems of body~mind~spirit. ________________________________________________________________ Practitioner: Deborah Engisch-Platt is also a Certified Massage Therapist with nearly 30 years experience.
