HIGH TOUCH-JIN SHIN A gentle and noninvasive therapy, Jin Shin follows the ancient principles of oriental energy therapy. Sharing many of the same concepts upon which acupuncture is based. Jin Shin utilizes our own innate vital life force. It is a physio-philosophy that involves the application of the hands for gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body; more generally.

Jin Shin is not a physical manipulation of tissue and does not require you to disrobe. Using only minimal pressure, the hands are used as "jumper cables," contacting 26 "safety energy locks" to redirect, or unblock the flow of energy along its pathways. This enables the energy to circulate to whatever depth the person needs, accessing all levels of the energy flow to promote healing.

THERAPEUTIC TOUCH Therapeutic Touch was developed in the early 1970's by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, and Dora Van Gelder Kunz. At first, Therapeutic Touch involved setting the hands lightly on the body of the patient, but the method rapidly evolved into the non-contact, "energy healing" method practiced today. TT is available in mainstream health care facilities including hospices, hospital-based alternative health programs, and even ICU's.

The purpose of Therapeutic Touch is to remove the irregularities of the energy field which cause dis-ease. Both as a preventative mechanism and as a treatment for manifested illness, Therapeutic touch practitioners attempt to smooth out irregularities in the human energy field and attempt to center the energies of the individual. Diverting excess energies back into the environment, the therapist will channel some of the limitless energy of the environment through themselves to "jump start" the weakened energies of the individual. Re-centering and smoothing is the operative technique of therapeutic touch; the practitioner is not actually healing the patient, instead orienting the patient's body correctly so that it operates at peak levels of efficiency.
