According to the ancient art of Jin Shin Jyustu®, you can harmonize your emotions, reduce stress, and nourish your body by holding each of your fingers in sequence. I’ve personally used this subtle yet powerful self-help approach to great effect for many years.

Scientific research has validated the efficacy of Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-help as well. For example, this study published in March 2021 found that Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-help reduces nurse stress. You can find a list of more research studies supporting positive outcomes with Jin Shyin Jyutsu® at its official website.

What Is Jin Shin Jyutsu®?

Jin Shin Jyutsu® is an ancient art that predates the birth of Moses and Gautama Buddha. It was rediscovered by Jiro Murai in the early 20th century. Murai’s American student, Mary Burmeister, brought Jin Shin Jyutsu® to the West in the 1950s.

In essence, the practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu® releases tension, which is believed to be the cause of a variety of symptoms in our body. It involves gently placing the hands or fingertips on different points or areas of the body to unblock and balance the flow of life energy.
