First Simple Applications
The following self-help applications show how simple, fast and yet effective Jin Shin Jyutsu is in everyday life. Jin Shin Jyutsu does not require any complicated posture and is therefore suitable for people from young to old to improve their personal well being and strengthen their self healing powers.
„Safety“ – Energy Lock No. 1
the prime mover, connects extreme height with extreme depth. In man it connects the toes with the head (back, ascending energy) and the head with the toes (front, descending energy). Therefore, by simply applying our hand, thumb, finger(s), palm or back to “Safety” Energy Lock No. 1, we can help “recharge” the “run-down” energy battery. Helps with abdominal stresses, head discomforts and aids breathing.

In hugging the body place the thumbs on the upper front part of the arms, on the joints of the front part of the arms and shoulders, and the fingers by the sides of the scapula, shoulder blades. The thumbs help to relax the lungs for easier breathing and the fingers help to clear the tension/stress in the shoulders.
