Jin Shin Do®
Bodymind Acupressure®
Compassionate touch to receive. The practice to learn.
What Is Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®?
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is "the Way of the Compassionate Spirit." It uses gentle, deep finger pressure on specific acupoints, along with verbal Body Focusing, to release "armouring" or chronic tension, balance the Qi, and improve vitality.
The work is done fully clothed, with you resting comfortably while Ron holds and releases the points. It is a calm, restorative way to unwind stress- and trauma-related tension, and to help the body remember its natural ease. Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® was originated by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden.
A Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® Session
You rest, fully clothed, while Ron applies gentle, sustained pressure to the acupoints and guides you to focus inward. Held points soften, held tension lets go, and the body settles into a deep, restorative calm.
Sessions suit anyone carrying stress, tightness, or the residue of difficult times, and can be received on their own or woven into the combined treatment below.
- A calm, private space where you rest fully clothed throughout the session.
- Gentle, sustained finger pressure on the acupoints, paired with quiet verbal guidance.
- A deep release of held tension that leaves the body lighter and the mind settled.
