Hello! =]

Hi everyone, I'm Agnetta, thought most people would call me Aggie, seeing my name isn't the most common and easiest to pronounce names. Like Nicholas has already introduced, I have just started studying Jin Shin Jyutsu just this year. I know the name is a mouthful, and I promise after this introduction everything else is going to be short and sweet. =]

I know most people have yet to see the miracles and virtue of Jin Shin Jyutsu, so I will be the administrator posting more stories. (posting the steps can drive people nuts! =]) here's one..

this is the most basic flow, also know as the main central flow, which has been posted and can be found at the labels right at the bottom of the page. The previous post would include picture visuals for better understanding. This flow consists of 6 poses, and is one of the most basic where anyone can do and anyone can do for anyone else.

1. Put your right hand over your head, RIGHT, and left hand in the middle of your forehead.
2. Shift your left hand to the tip of your nose.
3. Shift your left hand to the middle of your sternum, also more commonly identified as the middle of your chest.
4. Move your left hand to the base of your chest, where your two sides of the ribcage meet to form a V.
5. Move your left hand to your pubic bone, coming from top down.
6. Lastly, move your RIGHT hand to your coccyx, the butt bone you sit on.

Notice that your RIGHT hand only CHANGES position ONCE, from the top to the bottom. Anywhere else in between, your right hand stays on your head. Also in the previous post, Nicholas mentioned about letting your pulse harmonize or synchronize. Most people who have just started with Jin Shin Jyutsu are usually unable to feel the pulse, theirs or someone else. If that happens, we have the cheat code, *this is for beginners only. students should be learning how to feel pulse already!* You hold every pose for 10minutes, so it gives the energy time to move through the body before you move to the next pose.

For beginners and this is the first time you're approaching Jin Shin Jyutsu, welcome, but just a note to remember, if this is your first venture, treatment is not instantaneous. if you don't feel results straight away, don't worry. It'll come.

As we progress through everyday life, stress, presures, little injuries, old injuries are always there to bog us down, and this will affect our body in balance, and as time goes by, we wonder why we feel down and out all the time. Mothers with children will always wonder why your shoulders will always hurt after all these years even after your children are grown. Dancers and athletes will wonder why muscle and bone still hurt long after retirement from sport. These are all the accumulated negative energy that is not let go by the body.


Here's my story of today:
My mom has four kids, and my youngest brother and i have an age gap of 10 years, making me 19 and him 9. For everyone's information, my youngest brother actually has down's syndrome, for those who are familiar with the term, but today's story isn't about him. My main antagonist is my mother. Having carried babies since i was alive till my brother was about 5 which would be 4 years ago, she has carried babies for 15 years. From lugging us around to carrying us when we whine and complain, the strain has finally taken toll on her shoulder. She suffered from a frozen shoulder for many years without realising it, only through JSJ did the problem surface. Now is JSJ the culprit? No it isn't. It helped identify a problem where there was a need, identification allows for correction to move on to better and greener pastures. Her shoulder was injured to the point where it became difficult to drive as it hurt to turn right.

Problem problem and problem. Here's the solution.

JSJ. It opened up her shoulder to recieve treatment and because of the accumulation through the years, although recovery is slow, it is definitely steady and obvious. She couldn't turn her arm from her shoulder to her elbow, couldn't raise her hand up more than 90 degrees, but now, after 3 1/2 months of JSJ, she can reach the clip i put on the top of her head. Though her arm is not fully recovered, it is definitely improving. 3 months ago when we went to see a physiotherapist, he suggested going under the knife. Not only would that have been additional negative energy, it was also a waste of time and money when JSJ is FREE!! Now she punches me back when i punch her, and i think she punches harder.


All because of JSJ. She never knew all the complicated flows before. She started out with the main central flow.


DISCLAIMER:
There is however some information to take note of. If your body is in serious disharmony or much in balance, when doing the poses, when the body discharges negative energy, it might have a tendency to twitch or jerk. THIS IS NORMAL. This is because what we do not understand about our body, the body understands about itself. It is pulling and pushing itself back into order. My mom will twitch when she does JSJ. Because of her arm injury, the body needs to pull itself back into alignment, making her move. It might look weird or freaky, it isn't. It's our body's way of pushing ourselves back together without having to go under the knife. This doesn't usually happen until later in the treatment, so for those starting, relax, you will not twitch at everyone touching you.



Back to the topic of the flow, though this is one of the most basic flows, it has other uses. For a general body regeneration, or balance and harmony, follow the 6 steps posted above. Should you have other minor injuries, such as a sore throat or a flu bug that seems consistently around you, hold the top of your head with your right hand, and with your left hand, more to whatever area that needs help.
Example, if you're having a sorethroat, hold your throat with your left hand. If you're having a stomachache, hold your stomach with your left hand. All with your right hand on top of your head.



So everyone, here's my sharing with JSJ. likewise, i am not a master, we are all walking this journey together, regardless of race and religion. this is our journey to getting the best out of one life to be lived.


Living life,
Aggie.

This is really an effective hold for times when people feel pain and need not know what to do. It is also good for people who constantly is in need of pain killers. This replaces the pain killers and I can tell you, no more pain. Helps in many situations, you can name the situation and I tell you that it will help situations in which can bring about a relief to people who constantly feel pain and after they try, they will tell you life is good no more pain. Whether you believe me or not the choice is yours.

Demonstration on how to hold the fingers

 

OK, These are the finger posts(note the colour also) that i would be talking/explaining about in the upcoming posts. This is in response to some questions asked about how to hold the fingers. In the meantime, note how to hold your fingers as it is very important and vital in the understanding of JSJ Self-Help. In addition to these 5 holds, these is one more which is to hold the palm which I will post later as well. Have fun and we will carry on from there.

Safety Energy Locks

Here is a very important piece of information to study JSJ which is the location of the Safety Energy Locks (Main points) or sometimes refers to points/locks of the body. When the body is in healthy state, the locks do not "get locked" but if the body is in distress with our daily way of life which abuses it, they locked up as they act as circuit breakers in the body. If they are not unlocked, energy reverses and go through another route. Just imagine a traffic system which is being overload, the body cannot function properly in such a traffic jam. Some of the early warning includes backaches, neckaches, leg pain, fatigue and if nothing is done to open them, more serious illnesses occur. Here is a brief idea about their profile:

This chart is very important as after this post, I would be posting information about how to holding these points to help body mind and soul so stay tune to this blog.

So if anyone needs help with the location of points, please email me and I will try to help. You can also email me any questions and I will try to respond asap.

Best wishes
Nicholas

JSJ for Blood Presssure

Just heard from my friend that she always suffer blood pressure projects and cant really do much about it.

Here is a simple quicky which is to hold your Middle and little finger (Hold both is possible if not hold left only) If you are holding left, wrap your right hand fingers over the left hand till you feel a harmony of pulse. If time permits, hold your index finger as well.


A friend of mine have hypertension and of course her blood pressure was always very high. I always told her to hold these fingers and yeah she told me her blood pressure is regulated. Kinda relief to hear that. I am certain these fingers can aid for low blood pressure projects as well.

Quick and easy. Effortless reality. Its like a wow to ourselves. Now we have something to help ourselves and we are no longer defenceless to these problems that we face.

Try and see how it works. It can definitely help and improve your lives. Will add on a more detail post soon.

Intro Summary to JSJ

What is Jin Shin Jyutsu? This is kindly extracted from the international headquarters website of jsj for those wondering what Jin Shin Jyutsu is about...

Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy is an ancient art of harmonizing the life energy in the body. Born of innate wisdom and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the Art had fallen into relative obscurity when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai in Japan.

After clearing himself of a life-threatening illness, Master Murai devoted the rest of his life to the research and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu, gathering insight from a range of experiences and resources, including the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things). The resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's.
Mary Burmeister began teaching the Art to others in the early 1960's, and today there are thousands of students throughout the United States and around the world.
Jin Shin Jyutsu brings balance to the body's energies, which promotes optimal health and well-being, and facilitates our own profound healing capacity. It is a valuable complement to conventional healing methods, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress.
Jin Shin Jyutsu employs twenty-six "safety energy locks" along energy pathways that feed life into our bodies. When one or more of the paths becomes blocked, the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually disharmonize the complete path of energy flow. Holding these energy locks in combination can bring balance to mind, body, and spirit.
Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study, self help. Through the process of "now know myself" we recognize the wisdom of the body, and we learn to interpret the messages provided and utilize them to restore balance.
Jin Shin Jyutsu can be applied as self-help and also by a trained practitioner. A Jin Shin Jyutsu session generally lasts about an hour. It does not involve massage, manipulation of muscles, or use of drugs or substances. It is a gentle Art, practiced by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated safety energy locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow. This facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which accumulate through normal daily living.
For those of us addressing existing stress or health disharmonies, or for those simply wishing to participate actively in maintaining health, harmony and well-being, the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a simple and powerful tool, available to all!

JIN SHIN JYUTSU Mission Statement:

Through the dynamic Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu (Physio-Philosophy), our mission IS to create a safe environment for reawakening the true SELF. Being the testimony of this simple, profound Art of Living, made known to us by Mary Burmeister and Jiro Murai, we educate, harmonize and inspire ourselves and others through integrity, compassion, trust and freedom to BE.....NOW KNOW MYSELF.

"The truth is that within each of us lies the power to cast all misery aside and to KNOW complete Peace and Oneness to BE that beautiful creation of perfect harmony to truly KNOW (Help) Myself"

- Mary Burmeister

Have fun reading
