Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help Workshops

Karen Gay - Jin Shin Jyutsu is a healing art that involves the application of the hands for gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body. Through regular practice, one enhances the body's energy flow thus allowing one to be in balance with one's self and the universe. In a Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help workshop participants learn how to reduce stress, induce relaxation and facilitate one's own healing capacity. For individuals addressing existing stress or health disharmonies, or for those simply wishing to participate actively in maintaining health, harmony and well-being, Jin Shin Jyutsu is an empowering tool that helps one to realize they can be self-sufficient in their healing process. By the end of the workshop, participants will know how to help themselves, friends and family with a simple method of placing the hands to help one's energy flow and harmonize the body, mind and spirit.
