"Self Change starts with Self Study"

"Self Change starts with Self Study"

- Mary Burmeister

    

Have you ever wondered why self-help is given after each Jin Shin Jyutsu session?

Understanding how to best help yourself begins by understanding your body's needs. Those needs include work, fun, nutrition, and whatever else you need to feel fulfilled and satisfied with your life.

If you've never experienced a session with a practitioner, the session begins with the practitioner listening for harmony at your wrist. Then he or she chooses flow patterns to move your body toward balance and harmony. This is similar to the beginning of an acupuncture session. 

At the end of the session, the practitioner returns his or her fingertips to your wrist to evaluate how your body's rhythms changed during the session. This allows the practitioner to give you very specific, personalized self-help routines. Everyone's body is different, so your self-help journey will be different than someone else's, even if your ailment is the same.

Returning for another session allows you to relax and turn yourself over to the practitioner's touch. During the session, a practitioner can quickly recognize ways to harmonize the causes of the imbalances in energy flow. The practitioner can see the forest and not just the trees, allowing him or her to understand how each level and layer of your body are relating to each other -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. Returning periodically helps to reassess the self-help routines that your body needs to balance your daily life.

Compare the process to people with diabetes who check their insulin levels daily to keep their body on track. They return to their doctor periodically to assess their status and re-calibrate medication if necessary.

You are encouraged to attend the self-empowerment classes we offer. These classes provide a greater understanding of the philosophy and practical application of Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help routines.

Empowered with this extra understanding, your session practitioner can expand the options for home care by using the self-help books written by Mary Burmeister.
