We can’t solve problems with the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Jin Shin Do® Body Mind Acupressure™ a synthesis of Traditional Japanese Acupressure Techniques, Classic Chinese Five Element Acupuncture Theory, Taoist Philosophy Qigong exercises and Breathing, techniques, Reichian Segmental Theory, Western Psychotherapy.   

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ is the only acupressure method that works consistently with the special energy channels called the "Strange Flows". Opening the Strange Flows rebalances the energy between all meridians.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory there is a Life Force called Qi energy. This bio-energy is scientifically measurable. Qi flows through our body in 12 main channels like and interconnected system of rivers. These channels are called “meridians”

Acupressure is a 5000 year old Oriental system of healing which uses finger pressure to integrate the body, mind and spirit. Using gentle yet deep finger pressure acupressure points on the body, along with body-mind focusing techniques, the energy meridians begin to release and flow. This creates a feeling of "tingling" or "warming" as the areas of stress and tension begin to melt away. The client quite often will experience a deep trance like state of well being and balance. Frequently a feeling of floating is experienced often feeling more supple and content after a session.

When the energy in our meridians is flowing smoothly we feel balanced and healthy. When certain points are congested, some meridians are blocked and we experience pain, sickness, and/or emotional distress. Holding acupressure points frees blocked energy like debris in a river. This alleviates the tension and discomfort and the body begins to heal itself. Relief from pain and tension can be experienced for a few hours, or days or it can be long lasting, depending on the cause and the initial conditions. Insights gained during sessions exploring the cause of the pain can lead to a change in attitudes and/or lifestyles. Relief can therefore be permanent.

Because of the gentle, non-intrusive nature of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ it is helpful for those struggling with chronic pain and trauma. Clients have noticed after regular session of acupressure an overall sense of general well being and inner tranquility, sometimes for the first time in their lives.

As with any medical problem, the client is asked to consult with a physician.
