“When you integrate this technique into your daily life, you observe a global improvement in mental and physical well-being”.
Stress is an integral part of our modern lives. Between work, family and daily obligations, it is not always easy to blow. What if a Japanese method could help us find calm and serenity in just 5 minutes? Originally from Chinese medicine, a relaxation technique was popularized in Japan before spreading around the world. “It is an ancestral technique that acts directly on our emotional state” Explains Anne Mairet, personal development coach in Reims, and member of the Medoucine network.
One of the great advantages of this method? “It does not require any equipment and can be practiced anywhere, anytime, whether in the office between two meetings, in public transport or before an important appointment.“Its name is” Jin Shin Jyutsu “. The Jin Shin Jyutsu can be used alone to manage punctual stress or be practiced regularly for a lasting effect. “When you integrate this technique into your daily life, you observe a global improvement in mental and physical well-being”assures the coach.
How does it work? With a simple press of the fingers. “Each finger is connected to an organ and a specific emotion. By losing pressure on certain points, you can instantly relieve stress, anger or anxiety.”
- The thumb: associated with concern and worries, it helps to find inner peace.
- The index: in connection with fear, it allows you to regain self -confidence.
- The adult: he regulates anger and promotes letting go.
- The annular: it soothes sadness and stimulates emotional letting go.
- Here: it acts on fatigue and general stress.
“Just hold a finger gently with the other hand and apply a slight pressure for one to two minutes. You can also use your nail to accentuate the pressure effect.”
This technique acts directly on heart rate, breathing and mind by stimulating specific energetic points linked to the nervous system. The pressure exerted activates the release of endorphins and reduces the production of cortisol, thus promoting a natural appeasement of the body and the mind. “By practicing this method, you focus your attention on the gesture and you avoid letting the brain get carried away”specifies Anne Mairet. “The simple fact of focusing on pressure and your breathing helps soothe tensions.“Accessible to all, without constraint or contraindication, the Jin Shin Jyutsu”is a powerful tool that can easily be appropriated and which allows you to find your emotional balance quickly “ concludes Anne Mairet.
