JSJ: Jin Shin Jyutsu

    At one of the Mardi Gras Balls that my mom went to this break, she talked to her friend about my sickness.  Her friend recommended something she had done to her child while her child had mono that helped speedened her recovery! Her friend had recommended Jin Shin Jytusu, which is an ancient art of releasing tensions in the body to promote health and well-being. Willing to do anything to get me better again, the next day, my mom went to her friend's house to pick up the instructions.
 To do Jin Shin Jytusu, another person must place their fingertips in certain "safety energy lock" located along certain energy pathways of your body where and keep them there until the two pulses beat together. There are many different combinations of locations of these safety energy locks. There are 26 energy lock locations on the human body where energy tends to become stuck. (It sounds crazy, I know!)  By stimulating these areas, its is believed that you can release toxins, eliminate stress, relieve pain, decrease muscular tension, improve digestion, and temporarily relieve acute and chronic conditions.
 It's really soothing and I enjoy it, actually- it's like a massage!
