The simplest application of the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is in holding the fingers and palm of each hand. Holding each of your fingers for a few minutes more or less, for example, helps melt the tensions causing a variety of stresses. Harmonising the energy flowing through the fingers is particularly helpful in harmonising our thinking and attitudes.
