Digestion Support with Jin Shin Jyutsu
Jin Shin Jyutsu offers simple yet powerful ways to support digestion and restore balance in the body. By gently holding specific points, you can help ease bloating, discomfort, food reactions, and improve how your body processes and absorbs nutrients.
Use these techniques daily or whenever digestive discomfort arises. Gentle touch and steady breathing are all that’s needed.
1. Inner Knee Hold (1s)
Purpose: Helps relieve bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea.
Steps: Place your hands on the inside of each knee (Point 1).
Apply gentle, comfortable pressure.
Breathe slowly and deeply into your abdomen.
Hold for 3–5 minutes, allowing the digestive system to settle.
2. Sitting Bone Hold (25s)
Purpose: Supports regeneration and overall digestive recovery.
Steps: Sit comfortably.
Place your hands under your buttocks on the sitting bones (Point 25).
Relax your body and allow your weight to rest into your hands.
Breathe calmly for several minutes, supporting deep restoration.
3. Rib Base Hold (14s)
Purpose: Supports nourishment and helps the body process carbohydrates.
Steps: Place your hands at the base of your ribs on both sides (Point 14).
Let your fingers rest gently over the diaphragm area.
Take slow, deep breaths, feeling the ribs expand and soften.
Hold for 3–5 minutes to support digestion and nutrient processing.
4. Elbow Hold (19s)
Purpose: Relieves indigestion and helps harmonise digestion.
Steps: Place your hands on each elbow (Point 19).
Hold gently, without strain.
Breathe slowly and evenly.
Continue for several minutes until you feel a shift or easing.
5. Full Digestive Flow Sequence
(4/25 → 12/25 → 11/25 → 11/Opposite 2)
Purpose: Helps with bloating, pain, cramps, and general digestive issues.
Steps: Place one hand at the base of the skull (Point 4) and the other on the sitting bone (Point 25).
Then move to one hand midway down the side of the neck (Point 12) with the other remaining on the sitting bone (25).
Next, place one hand at the base of the neck (Point 11) and the other on the sitting bone (25).
Finally, keep one hand on Point 11 and move the other hand to the opposite inner knee (Point 2).
Hold each position for 1–3 minutes, breathing slowly and allowing the body to release tension.
6. Spleen Flow
Purpose: Helps with food reactions, sweet cravings, digestive imbalance, and stomach pain.
Steps: Place one hand on the side of the body (spleen area, left side under ribs).
Place the other hand on the opposite hip or inner thigh.
Relax your shoulders and breathe deeply into your abdomen.
Hold for several minutes, allowing the digestive system to rebalance.
Tip:
These techniques can be done seated, standing, or lying down. For best results, practice regularly and focus on slow, relaxed breathing. The body responds best to gentle, consistent input rather than force.
