a session
A Jin Shin Jyutsu® session lasts about an hour and is unique to the individual based on the client's requests, body reading, and energetic wrist pulse 'listening' at the beginning of the session. The client rests fully clothed on his or her back on a padded table covered with sheets. Loose fitting clothes without belts and scarves are most comfortable. Shoes, watches and large jewelry are removed. In order that the energy does not compete with that of digestion it is preferable to have an empty stomach; if necessary a light snack is acceptable.
After the assessment, the seated practitioner gently places the fingertips or hands on contact points, known as safety energy locks (SELs) on the front and the back of the client's body following various sequences, known as flows; the fingers and toes may also be held. There is no massage, rubbing, or manipulation of the tissue or structure. This gentle touch brings the body to harmony by stimulating the circulation of the energy pathways clearing accumulated tension and stress. Relaxing music is provided but optional.
The practitioner stays with the client, hands on, during the entire Jin Shin Jyutsu® session; clients have found JSJ to be deeper and more relaxing than massage or acupuncture- it works with the entire person, mind, body and spirit, - it complements these modalities as well as chiropractic manipulation and conventional medicine, supporting them to be more effective.
As the energy continues circulating for about eight hours after a session it is recommended to keep your activities light.
The practitioner may give self care suggestions which will continue the healing. Since Jin Shin Jyutsu® is cumulative it is recommended that new clients receive three sessions not too far apart to experience maximum benefit.
