Stress Relief with Jin Shin Jyutsu
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release stress, tension, and fatigue. By placing your hands on specific points (called “safety energy locks”), you can harmonize energy and bring a sense of calm and balance. Below are several techniques you can try at home.
1. Cheekbone & Collarbone Release (21 & 22)
Purpose: Relieves jaw tension and reduces stomach-related stress.
Steps: Place your fingers gently on your cheekbone (Point 21).
Place your other hand on your collarbone (Point 22).
Take slow, deep breaths, focusing on releasing tension from your jaw and stomach area.
Hold for 3–5 minutes, or until you feel a sense of relaxation.
2. Head, Neck & General Stress Release (12 + 20 → 21 → 22)
Purpose: Reduces headaches, fatigue, and general stress.
Steps: Place one hand midway down the side of your neck (Point 12).
Place the other hand on the opposite forehead (Point 20).
Next, place hands on cheekbone (Point 21) and then collarbone (Point 22).
Breathe slowly and evenly for 5 minutes, noticing tension melting away.
3. Calm Mind & Inner Peace (11 + Hi19 → 18)
Purpose: Promotes mental calm, relaxation, and a sense of peace.
Steps: Place one hand at the base of your neck (Point 11).
Place the other hand on the upper arm at Hi19.
Follow by placing a hand on the base of the thumb (Point 18).
Hold for several minutes, breathing gently, and notice the calming effect.
4. General Destressor (11 + 15 → 25)
Purpose: Relieves overall tension and stress in the body.
Steps: Place one hand at the base of the neck (Point 11).
Place the other hand in the groin area (Point 15).
Finish by placing a hand on the sitting bone (Point 25).
Hold and breathe slowly, allowing your body to release stress.
5. Brain Fog Release (4 + Opposite 22)
Purpose: Clears the mind and helps with mental fatigue.
Steps: Place one hand at the base of the skull (Point 4).
Place the opposite hand on the collarbone (Point 22).
Breathe deeply and allow the energy to flow, releasing mental fog.
6. Diaphragm & Stress Release (14 + Opposite 19)
Purpose: Supports deep breathing, energy flow, and stress release.
Steps: Place one hand at the base of the ribs (Point 14) over the diaphragm.
Place the opposite hand on the elbow (Point 19).
Inhale deeply, imagining energy flowing in; exhale, imagining stress flowing out.
Repeat for 5–7 minutes for a full diaphragm release.
Tip: You can perform these techniques while seated, standing, or lying down. Focus on your breathing, and don’t rush. Gentle, mindful touch is all that is needed.
