Jin Shin Do® can help to relieve tension and stress, reduce pain and discomfort, reestablish the balance of energy between body and mind, and increase client self-awareness. It promotes a pleasant trance state in which the client can move out of the head and into the body, to access creative self-healing and release stagnant energy and stress patterns.

Jin Shin Do® combines gentle yet deep finger pressure on acupoints with body focusing techniques to facilitate the release of physical and emotional tensions and armoring.

The class will cover release methods for 32 points of common stress, tension, and pain, introduction to body-focusing, segmental release using 45 Jin Shin Do® points and the bodymind associations of the segments, master and couple points, and using contact statements and tracking. It will also include strange flow theory and basic release patterns, and how to combine strange flows with the segments.

What to Bring: Sheets/Blanket & face cradle cover for each day.  Massage tables will be provided. A lunch break will be taken each day.
