What is Jin Shin?

Jin Shin is the gentle, manual method of restoring, improving and preserving health of mind and body by holding acupoints (the points used in Acupuncture & Acupressure) with each hand until their pulses synchronize, indicating harmony is restored between them.
That harmony regards what Chinese Philosophy refers to as:

The Tao

(aka Dao) Which is defined as:
"... the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of Yin & Yang and signifying The Way that is in harmony with Natural Order."
A simple yet practical way to think of the Tao is as The Song of Life; and disease results when someone plays a different tune. For a brief overview and history of the Tao, read this article by National Geographic: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/taoism To explore the Tao deeper, read the following by Taoist Priest, Ted Kardash, Ph.D: https://www.taoistsanctuary.org/ageless-wisdom This "Song" is the reality we experience through ALL our senses as the infinite, interdependent polarities known in Taoism as:

Yin & Yang

There can be no Light without Dark, Sweet without Sour, Joy without Sorrow, Pain without Pleasure, "Me" without "You," "Us" without "Them," nor "This" without "That," or "Here" without "There." Nothing can be experienced without the essential contrasts of Yin & Yang. We cannot know what anything IS until we know what it is NOT. For example, you wouldn't know you were experiencing pain or joy if you never felt their absence before. In a sense, Yin & Yang is an elaborate binary reality of 1's and 0's. Jin Shin helps reveal reality to us by: 1) quieting our mind enough for us to perceive what's within and without, and 2) Bringing us back to Balance by helping our nervous system realize how out of balance we had become.
Acupoints are where blockages occur that impede the free flow of Chi, causing an excess of Chi on one side of the point, and a deficiency on the other. The goal of Jin Shin, Tui Na, Shiatsu, Acupuncture, Qigong, Tai Chi, Diet and other Taoist Arts (ie. Calligraphy, Feng Shui, Meditation, etc.) is to resolve those blockages to restore balanced flow of Chi throughout the Meridians. Jin Shin activates sequences of acupoints, called Flows to free and harmonize Chi* in the body's Organ Meridians (aka "Meridians") the invisible circuits conducting our Chi like water streams to support functions of body and mind specific to those Meridians. Symptoms indicate which Meridians and acupoints need balance based on Traditional Chinese Medical Theory (TCM).
Acupoints are like software codes. The sequence in which they're activated is like programming a computer.

Chi

* Chi (氣), as in "Tai Chi", aka Qì, as in "Qigong," translates most simply as “vital life force." In Classical Chinese Philosophy, Chi is the primal substance that all things in the universe are made of, the force that connects and animates everything, and the quality of relationships between all things in the universe. (This is what George Lucas based "The Force" on in his Star Wars universe.)
Disruption to the flow and harmony of Chi is the basis for all disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Western scientists created the term “bio-energy” to approximate Chi as a basis for research. However, this only denotes the energy of living organisms rather than natural phenomena of the Living Universe such as water, lightning, fire, wind, mountains, gravity, etc. thus falls critically short of a proper grasp to effectively research it in the Western Medical Framework. Quantum Foam may be a far better equivalent for Chi. Click here to learn more. While Quantum Foam is too small to directly observe or measure by current means (click here for an interactive illustration), and Chi eludes conventional means to measure or observe, one can learn to perceive and experience Chi directly as millions have done for millennia.

A Universal Method

Unlimited Applications

"The Meridian is that which decides over life and death.
Through it the hundred diseases may be treated."
- The Yellow Emperor

Jiayijing, Vol. 2, Ch. 1a
Balancing Yin & Yang in the body's Meridians establishes the most fundamental foundation that supports healing and homeostatis. Thus, it may improve recovery from many other conditions, despite their distinct Western Medical pathologies. There are countless studies validating the wide therapeutic value of Meridian Therapy (Acupuncture, Acupressure, Tui Na, Shiatsu & Jin Shin), especially when combined with Good Nutrition, Regular Exercise, Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Psychotherapy. While the principles of this 5,000-year old system of medicine are dauntingly complex, it can be approached with profound simplicity by learning how to let Nature to do its work. In as little as 10 minutes, one can read the simple instructions I prepared to apply The Flow and get immediate compelling results!
Simply knowing where and how to place one's hands, with healing intention, can yield extraordinary results that confounds and surpasses Western Medicine.

Giving Jin Shin

The process of giving Jin Shin is characterized as an art of "listening" with one's hands -and entire being- to the Recipient, Provider, and the Spirit within, between and beyond them both (the Tao).

Receiving Jin Shin

Jin Shin is traditionally received fully clothed and supine (face up) on a table. While it can be received as a stand-alone treatment, it is generally best to administer it after decompressing joints, increasing blood flow, and relieving physical tension with Tui Na so recipients can relax deeper for Jin Shin to work best. Although Jin Shin is deeply relaxing, and can leave you feeling a bit spacy after, people quickly feel brighter, clearer, more grounded, centered, energized and renewed.
