Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®
for body, mind and spirit
Jin Shin Do® is a relaxing hands on wellness modality that uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and helps to release "armoring" or chronic tension, balance the "Qi" or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress and trauma related problems, as well as physical pain or tension.
A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acupuncture and acupressure theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy, it is recognized as a major form of Asian Bodywork Therapy (by NCCAOM & AOBTA® among others).
Originated by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, JSD promotes a pleasant trance like state, in which one can relax and move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.
