Frequently Asked Questions
How is Jin Shin Jyutsu different from Reiki?
Jin Shin Jyutsu works with specific energy points and pathways in a particular sequence. Reiki uses hand positions and universal life force energy. Both are gentle, but the approach differs.
Is Jin Shin Jyutsu painful?
No. The touch is very light—just enough to connect with energy. It's one of the gentlest forms of bodywork.
How long is a typical session?
Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. The practitioner works through a sequence of points, spending time on each as needed.
Can I learn to do Jin Shin Jyutsu on myself?
Yes. There are self-help techniques you can learn. Many practitioners teach self-care methods alongside receiving sessions.
Is Jin Shin Jyutsu safe during pregnancy?
Generally yes, as it's very gentle. However, inform your practitioner if you're pregnant, and consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns.
What should I wear for a session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. You remain fully clothed throughout the session.
