Jin Shin the High Touch® Way
Jin Shin is for horses and dogs and cats and everyone, even yourself!
While working as a veterinary assistant I understood many owner’s feelings of helplessness and their desires to do more for their horses than the prescribed treatments. Jin Shin is an energetic healing art. It is in no way meant to replace the role of your veterinarian, but it can serve as a helpful complement to standard medical treatments and allow for involvement in the healing process for horse owners who choose to do more. It is so rewarding to be able to offer comfort to your horse and know you are promoting wellness with your touch...

What is
Jin Shin is a noninvasive energy healing art that shares many of the underlying concepts of acupuncture. It respects the idea that life’s energy, the Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows through all living things. Like acupuncture, Jin Shin practitioners employ the reading of energetic pulses to target imbalances in a body’s energy patterns. When the Qi moves freely throughout the body, the body is in harmony. Should an energy pathway become blocked, physical, mental, or emotional disharmony, or “dis-ease”, arises. The goal of a Jin Shin session is to maintain or re-establish the balance of Qi energy in the body. The touch for Jin Shin is light yet penetrating and supports the natural flow of the body’s energy. Jin Shin utilizes the life force that emanates from our fingertips. The practitioner merely touches, or connects two of the twenty-six energy release points and waits for the energy flow to correct itself. Jin Shin recognizes organ flows, related to organ systems as defined in eastern medical tradition, number flows, related to specific energy release points, and eight depths in the body’s energy cycles. As the energy cycles in through these depths it clears obstructions, and as it cycles back out it supports a state of well-being. Jin Shin promotes spiritual, emotional, and physical balance. Jin Shin is a healing art that was known in ancient Japan. A folk tradition of healing, it was nearly lost to the modern world. Rediscovered in Japan by Jiro Murai in the early twentieth century, brought to the United States by Mary Burmeister and called Jin Shin Jyutsu®, this healing art has enjoyed growing popularity in recent years.
These two videos provide a brief introduction to Jin Shin for horses. Remember, this energy work modality is easily learned and you can do Jin Shin for dogs and cats, too.
