Wellness Now: Your Oasis in a Hectic Day

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese self-healing modality. Similar to acupuncture (without the needles) and acupressure (without the pressure), it involves a gentle application of the hands along various energy pathways. This clears blockages and releases tension, which supports the body's innate ability to heal.

Jin Shin Jyutsu translates into "Art of the Creator through man of knowing and compassion." Practitioners of the art maintain that it awakens us to the awareness that we have the ability to balance and harmonize ourselves. O ur health is literally in our hands!

May you be well,

A Helping Hand

"Happy Hands" is simple and effective Jin Shin Jyutsu technique that uses a series of gentle finger holds. You can practice this anywhere, anytime to help release stress and support your physical, mental and emotional health. Can't sleep? This hands-on tool also promotes relaxation and helps reduce insomnia!

"HAPPY HANDS"

According to Jin Shin Jyutsu , each finger represents a specific emotional state. (Skeptical? Take a peek at what the middle finger represents!)

Thumb - Anxiety, worry

Index finger - Fear, frustration

Middle finger - Anger, irritability

Ring finger - Sadness, negativity

Little finger - Insecurity, nervousness

To begin, wrap the fingers of your left hand around your right thumb. Close your eyes. Inhale, focusing on any sensations or feelings that may arise; exhale, releasing all muscular tension. Hold for as long as you wish. Continue with each finger. If you'd like, repeat on the opposite hand. When complete, rest your hands in your lap, palms up and fingers gently curled in a gesture of acceptance.
