Jin Shin Jyutsu first aid
Jin Shin Jyutsu can be used in any situation alongside conventional medicine due to its non-invasive nature, which assures that its application is safe. Listed below are some quick tips for using Jin Shin Jyutsu as first aid and to help with other minor ailments. These tips can not only be used on yourself but can also be used on others.

Sit on your hands, either on the palms or the backs of the hands which ever is the most comfortable. (hands to be under your sit bones).
