Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese gentle energy healing technique that focuses on harmonising the body’s vital energy through specific hand placements and pressure points. Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles, Jin Shin Jyutsu relies on touch and breath awareness to release blockages and promote well-being by relieving physical tension and restoring balance.
The Japanese have long embraced this holistic healing practice to maintain balance in daily life. Unlike Western medicine, which focuses primarily on treating symptoms, traditional Japanese healing methods emphasise prevention and energy alignment to support long-term well-being.
What is Jin Shin Jyutsu?
Jin Shin Jyutsu (pronounced “jit-soo”), which translates to “The Art of the Creator through the Compassionate Person,” is based on the idea that energy flows through specific meridians or pathways in the body.
When this flow becomes blocked due to stress, illness, or emotional imbalance, it can lead to physical discomfort and diseases. By applying gentle pressure to 26 energy points (Safety Energy Locks) on the body, Jin Shin Jyutsu is believed to help restore harmony and vitality.

How Jin Shin Jyutsu relieves physical stress
- Reducing muscle tension – Gentle hand placements on specific points release stored tension in muscles and joints.
- Improving circulation – Stimulating energy flow enhances blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients more effectively.
- Calming the nervous system – By balancing energy flow, Jin Shin Jyutsu activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
- Alleviating pain – Many people use it to relieve chronic pain, headaches, and even digestive discomfort.
Finger Holding Method – Each finger corresponds to different emotions and organs. Practitioners hold a finger gently for a few minutes to relieve tension.
Thumb – Worry, digestion, headaches
Index Finger – Fear, kidney health, muscle tension
Middle Finger – Anger, liver health, eye strain
Ring Finger – Sadness, lung function, breathing
Little Finger – Stress, heart health, self-esteem
The Main Central Flow – Practitioners place their right hand on the top of their head and the left hand on the forehead. They then breathe deeply for a few minutes, and move the left hand to the chest, solar plexus, and lower abdomen, following the energy flow to release tension.
