Jin Shin Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. Using the power and sensitivity of the hand, acupressure is effective in the relief of stress related ailments, self-treatment and preventive health care. Acupressure releases tension, increases circulation, reduces pain, and develops vibrant health. Jin Shin balances the body’s energy by applying pressure to specific acupressure points, the same points used in Acupuncture, to release tension, increase circulation and restore the body’s vital life force. Jin Shin works with the spiritual root of an imbalance by releasing muscular tension and harmonizing the body’s qi to aid healing.

The Jin Shin style holds two or more acupressure points using both hands to apply light to deep pressure. Jin Shin Acupressure can be used with other forms, or by itself, to balance the energy flow. Taoists throughout Asia practice Jin Shin and refer to the practice as the Art of the Compassionate Spirit.
