Jin Shin Jyutsu (pronounced jit-su ) is a soft touch therapy, non-invasive that balances the body's energy. The art combines an approach based on the body and on the basis of mind to healing and practitioners refer to it as a physio-philosophy.
Jin Shin Jyutsu identifies 12 channels of vital energy in the body, and 52 points along these routes. The points are known as energy security locks.
Sometimes, an imbalance develops between these points, which can disrupt the flow of energy. Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioners working to unlock the circuit and restore consistent traffic along the tracks.
"You go through a sequence that aligns the energy meridians, using hands as jumper cables," says Mary. "Then you stand there until the pulses are synchronized."
Although similar to other forms of bodywork Eastern Jin Shin Jyutsu has no massage or pressure. The practitioner begins by placing their hands on the patient's wrist to hear their energy pulses. They then identify the sequence of harmonization that will return their energy to a functional balance.
"After being diagnosed [with mesothelioma], I got to the days when I could not walk from one room to another. The therapy has definitely given me more energy loads."
to Mary, whose fatigue was close to debilitating since she started the treatment of mesothelioma, quick results are a blessing.
"My energy level has at least doubled since yesterday," she shared.
"After my first session, the practitioner told me to stay in bed for 20 minutes. I followed his directions and rested, and I felt so much more energetic when I got up. "
Jin Shin Jyutsu for mesothelioma symptoms
ISNJin Shin Jyutsu 't just effective in restoring energy. Therapy can also help with pain, emotional distress and other complications of cancer. in a study of patients with breast cancer, it has been particularly effective in helping women adapt to their condition and improve the performance of daily living activities.
It can even help patients manage the side effects of their treatment of mesothelioma.
"chemo caused many digestive problems, so my therapist is to have me do that they call a stream of spleen, "said Mary. a flow sequence spleen involves energy locks along the spine, heel, rib cage, chest and collarbone.
"I was initially unfaithful. I thought it will not really do anything because it is the chemo that does this for me, "she says. "But I was surprised. You just have to be the kind of person who is able to relax and let it work."
Self practice
One of the most appealing factors is that patients can learn how to perform the treatment on their own.
Translated into English, Jin Shin Jyutsu actually means "the Art of the Creator expressed by a person of compassion." And while patients are encouraged to learn from a master, they 're also encouraged to become their own doctor. one of the basic principles of the practice is the ability to effectively use the therapy is inherent in everyone.
"the lady who did my therapy left me a list of things I do for myself, I do. I have not had a formal meeting, but I do not do the movements on myself twice a day ?? once in the morning and once in the evening. "
" She did more for me than I do myself, but I want to do it in the car or when I have nothing to do. And when I do it every day, it all comes together a little faster each time. "
Since its first session, Mary took it upon herself to learn about the origins and practice ?? ?? therapy. It recommends the Touch of Healing book, by Mary Burmeister. Burmeister has practice in the United States in the 1950s, half a century after Master Jiro Murai was developed in Japan.
"in the beginning it was the biggest mystery to me," Mary admitted. Certainly from many mesothelioma patients can relate, most alternative therapies for the disease are not well understood by mainstream oncologists
"But really, you have nothing to lose."
