In my own hands: gentle innate wisdom of being

Share

Workshops and courses in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg

The capacity to fully, simply and effortlessly respond to our own deep needs may seem radical in an era characterised by constant and chaotic search for solutions outside of oneself. However, all we need to develop a more trusting and empowered relationship with all aspects of our being is literally in our own hands.

While it may sound like a martial art, Jin Shin Jyutsu is a wisdom tradition, mapped out through the body, offering harmonising principles that were utilised by many historic cultures. Explore how, through gently holding appropriate wisdom centres in your own body, you can release tensions and bring profound ease to your own body, mind and heart.

If you wish to discover more of your potential, to alleviate pain or discomfort, to live life with less fear, less struggle, more creativity, understanding, more authenticity and joy, Jin Shin Jyutsu offers tools to support all this. It is also simple enough to make use of in any place at any time.

No initiation or special ability is needed. This is time to relax deeply, gently being present with yourself while learning practical helpers to benefit you through the rest of your life.

Breathe easy with Jin Shin Jyutsu

Share

 ring-finger-mudra_copyrightDo you ever get a little out of breath when running or walking? Here is something easy you can do to help: simply hold the thumb over the finger nail of the ring finger (as illustrated left). No pressing, no massaging, no effort – simply let your thumb rest there and carry on walking or running or sitting. You’ll be amazed, simply holding this easy finger position can give a great boost to the breathing.

 You may notice additional benefits such as: it can ease tight shoulders, it can help when we’re feeling sad or weepy, it can help ear problems and it can improve the condition of our skin. You can do this “gesture” with one or both hands and you can hold for as long as you like, the longer you hold the greater the benefit. You always have your hands with you and it can never do any harm.

This is some of the simple wisdom and practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient art of bringing harmony to body, mind and heart using only gentle non-invasive touch. Read on for information about workshops and courses.
