Tune Up Your Chakras With Jin Shin Jyutsu

Step 1A - With your right hand, place two or three fingers on the top center of your head and leave them there until Step 8.  The Crown Chakra is the violet-colored center at the top of the head.  In Sedona Power Spot, Vortex and Medicine Wheel Guide, Richard Dannelley describes it as "the cross-over point between the physical and the soul." Stimulating this chakra can help bridge your everyday awareness with consciousness of the higher, or universal self.

Step 1B -  Place two or three fingers from your left hand between your eyebrows. This indigo-hued pressure point, according to Dannelley, is associated with the "pineal gland or 'third eye' deep within the brain." also known as the Anja Chakra.  According to traditional teachings, opening this chakra revitalizes latent energy deep inside the body and may stimulate ESP.

Step 2-  Next, place your left hand on the tip of your nose. There is no chakra related to this pressure point. But according to Jin Shin Jyutsu philosophy, holding the tip of the nose revitalizes the reproductive functions.

Step 3-    Now move your left hand to the "V" of  your throat. The blue Throat Chakra is a powerful energy center which, according to tradition revitalizes the Thyroid and Para thyroid glands.  "This is also the chakra of the human voice," notes Dannelley, adding that "metaphysically", sound is one of the primary energies of the universe."

Step 4 - Now place your left hand on your sternum (breastbone) which is midway between top and bottom of your chest. This green Heart Chakra pressure point is the center of your energy system.  When this chakra is open, the Thymus gland is helped and other immune systems are said to be revitalized.
