Water Wood Fire Earth  Metal	What is Jin Shin Do^®AcupressureTM ? Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points together with verbal Body Focusing techniques to help release “armoring” or chronic tension and balance the “Qi” or energy. "Jin Shin Do" means "The Way of the Compassionate Spirit." It helps relieve stress and trauma related problems. Recognised as a major form of Oriental bodywork therapy, Jin Shin Do® is a unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acupressure theory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy.  Developed by psychotherapist Iona Marsaa Teeguarden, JSD Acupressure promotes a pleasant trancelike state, in which you can relax and move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.
