HEALTH Portation curated News Shin Jyutsu INSOMNIA FINGERS

In Chinese medicine, Insomnia happens when the spirit (Shen) remains in the Head and cannot find rest in the Heart. 
Holding the fingers before falling asleep is an excellent practice. It not only establishes a habit — a time of day when you’ll do acupressure self-help — but it will help you fall asleep.
You can also use this practice if you wake up during the night or if you suffer from insomnia. Focus your mind on the finger and your breath. Notice the difference in temperature between the air that enters the nostrils and the warmer air that you exhale. This will keep your thoughts from racing and keeping you awake.
Jin Shin Jyutsu sequence for insomnia. Wrap the fingers of your right hand around your left thumb and place the right thumb on the left SEL #18. Hold for three minutes. Then hold your left little finger with your right hand for three minutes. Repeat this sequence on the other hand. If you’re still awake, place your right hand on top of your left shoulder (SEL #11), near the neck. Place your left hand in the left hip crease (SEL #15). You can find this point by raising your leg until you feel a large tendon (the inguinal ligament). Your fingertips should rest just to the inside of this tendon. Repeat on the other side.


"Shin Jyutsu calls Emotions “attitudes” and they are associated with each Finger.
Master Jiro Murai, a Japanese healer and philosopher, rediscovered it in the early 20th century. 
At the age of 26, he became seriously ill and doctors diagnosed his condition as incurable and terminal.
Murai asked to be left alone in his family’s mountain cabin. As he passed in and out of consciousness, he had visions of spiritual masters using hand mudras, which he began to practice on himself. On the seventh day he underwent an intense healing experience. He vowed to devote his life to discovering the connection between the hand mudras and his dramatic recovery.
Murai looked for clues in the Bible and also studied extensively in ancient Chinese, Greek, and Indian texts. He practiced his healing techniques on the homeless in Tokyo, where he developed a reputation as an extraordinary healer. In the story I’ve heard, the brother of Japan’s Emperor (Hirohito) was suffering from an ailment that doctors had been unable to cure. Murai was asked to treat the Emperor’s brother and had great success. In gratitude, the Emperor asked Murai what he would like in return. Murai asked for access to ancient records (the Kojiki) in the Archives of the Imperial Palace. It was these writings that provided information on the origins, philosophy, and techniques of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
According to these records, Jin Shin Jyutsu was widely known in antiquity — before the time of Buddha, Moses, and the Kojiki (712 AD). The practice was handed down orally from generation to generation, but had virtually disappeared by the 20th century. Using all the information he had uncovered, Murai conducted extensive experiments on himself for over 50 years. He found that Jin Shin Jyutsu produced a depth of awareness that went beyond anything described in the ancient texts of Chinese medicine.
Mary Burmeister, a Japanese American, met Murai in Japan in the late 1940’s and became his student. Burmeister’s explanation for the depth and power of Jin Shin Jyutsu is that it affects the attitudes that lie beneath our symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves."
