JIN SHIN DO® BODYMIND ACUPRESSURE®
"Jin Shin Do" means "The Way of the Compassionate
Spirit." Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle
yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body
Focusing techniques, to help release "armoring" or chronic
tension, balance the "Qi" or energy, and improve
vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress- and trauma-
related problems. A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese
acupressure technique, classic Chinese acu-theory, Taoist philosophy,
Qigong (breathing & exercise techniques), Reichian segmental
theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy, it is recognized
as a major form of Asian Bodywork Therapy (by NCCAOM & AOBTA
among others). Originated by psychotherapist Iona Teeguarden, JSD
promotes a pleasant trancelike state, in which one can relax and move
out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.
 Practiced
by Gerard E. Thomas, O.P., Jin Shin Do® Bodymind
Acupressure®, in a very subtle and non-invasive way, will instill
deep relaxation in order to re-establish a smooth, harmonious, and
balanced energy flow throughout your body by releasing physical,
mental and emotional tension. As tension is released you will
experience a sense of inner peace and well-being. Jin Shin Do®
works with the Body, Mind, and Spirit to create conditions where
healing can occur... improving your physical and emotional way of life.
