JIN SHIN JYUTSU

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a Japanese energetic healing practice. Each finger controls specific body functions and emotions, and simply holding them individually with the fingers of the other hand for two minutes can calm and dissipate emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger and grief. The fingers and thumbs can be held sequentially, or one can be chosen for a specific need.
