Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help WorkshopsKaren Gay - Jin Shin Jyutsu is a healing art that involves the application of the handsfor gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body. Through regular practice,one enhances the body's energy flow thus allowing one to be in balance with one'sself and the universe.
