Getting Started Though the Art of Jin Shin bears some similarities to acupuncture, the practice achieves its transformative results without needles, using only a gentle touch—a methodology that translates very nicely to self-care. All you need in order to get started are your fingers and hands, and a little bit of time and patience. The holds and flows in this book will grow more effective as you become an ever more adept reader of your body’s signals. However and whenever you start, to some degree you will succeed in moving stagnant energy and restoring harmony right from the get-go—and that’s part of the beauty of Jin Shin. Each of us is endowed with the innate ability to balance and heal our physical, mental, and spiritual selves. Jin Shin allows us to tap into the body’s innate physical and spiritual wisdom, lifting us out of the jagged rhythms of modern life and returning our bodies to the rhythm of the universal clock. We always have the necessary tools to practice—our breath, fingers, and hands—and there’s no way to harm ourselves using the holds and flows. Focus (Middle Finger) Place right hand on left middle of neck (SEL 12) and left hand on right middle of forehead (SEL 20). WHAT IT HELPS: This quickie will clear the mind and help with focus. (Ever notice when you forget something, you touch your forehead to help job your memory? That's an instinctive use of SEL 20. Nice job!) Carpal Tunnel and Joint Fatigue: right flow illustrated 1 Place right hand on top of left shoulder blade (SEL 3) and left hand on right elbow (SEL 19). 2 Move left hand to right wrist area. 3 Move right hand to left inner thigh (SEL High 1), left hand to right inside shoulder blade (SEL 26). WHAT IT HELPS: This three-step sequence on the shoulder joints is excellent for harmonizing arm, shoulder, elbow, and wrist projects, with the location on the inner thigh giving slow-moving (congested) energy an escape route. Feel for congestion in the SELs and hold until you feel a release.
