I enjoyed the NeuroTrauma Symposium immensely yesterday and made several meaningful connections. 🤍🩵

Jin Shin Jyutsu helps to resolve shock and trauma from the nervous system, improving neurological health, responsiveness and adaptability with light touch on specific energy centers on the body.
Stephanie Mines who wrote, We are All in Shock, studied under Mary Burmeister here in America and Japan. She furthered her studies with Jin Shin Jyutsu, specifically with shock and trauma (with veterans and more) and prenatal health and working with babies. In our current hospital protocols…trauma many times begins at birth.

We have a specific protocol of gentle holds on the body to relief shock In The Moment and from the past. We also have direction for gently resolving trauma from the body from age 0 to present. Jin Shin Jyutsu is safe, gentle and does not require verbal engagement. Which is great as a complementary care for EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

A Big thank you to Catherine Bishop, Executive Director at the Ms Brain Injury Association for inviting me to have a booth this year at the Symposium.

Working with those with brain injury, stroke and there caregivers is close to my heart. ❤️

I have a private studio in Ridgeland where I offer Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions and Integrated Massage with Jin Shin Jyutsu.
Mini classes are also offered for private groups (and public) to help yourself and loved ones.
If you are curious about my services and would like to talk, I would be happy to set up a phone consult with you. No pressure or obligation.

I am truly honored to be a part of this year's Neurotrauma Symposium happening this Friday.

I'll be there with a booth sharing the integrative therapies I offer-
Jin Shin Jyutsu, Integrated Bodywork and Energy Therapy and simple, supportive self-help techniques.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle, non-invasive practice that supports balance, restoration and over-all wellbeing. As a caregiver myself, it feels especially meaningful to share this work with others who are walking alongside loved ones on their healing journeys.

This practice was also foundational in my own recovery from advanced exhaustion, and I'm deeply grateful to now offer it to others.

If you're curious about integrative therapies for brain and nervous system health, I would love for you to come by, connect, and explore what's possible.
Hope to see you there🩵https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Da7NdDSX2/

Sunday afternoon was absolutely beautiful sharing with these amazing women. 🌹

Connection. Wisdom. Playful. Healing.

The vibe of our class we all appreciated was a quote from Mary Burmeister -
“The greater the malady, the simpler the solution”
We embrace the Fingerholds in the majesty of simplicity.
Thank you to each of you ! 🌹

The ear is filled with reflex points much like the feet. The ear is a reflection of the whole body.

I give a proficient ear massage during all massage sessions.

And it feels amazing!

Emptying the Vessel is perfect imagery for the gentle, hands-on Art of Jin Shin. Adele Leas, longtime Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner & instructor, sums it up simply as well, “We are never in disharmony or affected by disease because of what we lack, but what we have not let go of.”
Harmony is our natural state of being. We grow in harmony as we release and empty the pain and burdens we have accumulated along the way. Therefore, in Jin Shin we honor the cycle of the breath as beginning with the Exhale.

We begin with the ‘36 Conscious Breaths’. To restore balance anytime, exhale deeply and allow the new breath to enter us naturally. It is only in this emptying first that we can receive.
~Exhale worry, physical tension & FEAR. Down the Front.
~Receive each breath with gratitude. Up the Back.
Breathing through the nose, start with counting your Exhalations.
Count 36 or 4 sets of 9.

Why 36? 3+6 is 9. 9 is the ending of a cycle & a new beginning.
As Mary Burmeister said: “In this breath, I am One of a kind. There can be no competing, comparing, judging, labeling, or being judged.”

Emptying the Vessel of the pain, suffering, sadness, fear, resentments, we have accumulated along the way and of today, we create space for the free flowing energy of Abundant Joy, Creativity and Bliss already with us.
Empty our Vessel daily with the 36 Conscious Breaths. Drop the shoulders. Be the smile.

The 36 Conscious Breaths, Jin Shin self-help and receiving from a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner balances and empties our vessel to live in Harmony with ourselves and others. ✋❤️🤚

I am thrilled and thankful for any opportunity to share the simplicity of Jin Shin Jyutsu that is such a powerful self care resource.
