The Art of Jin Shin can be easily practiced on oneself. As a matter of fact, it is an integral part of the art. A daily maintenance program as well as a specific individual program can be designed by you or your practitioner. You can practice on yourself as a way to maintain harmony in your body and break down new and old congestions. There is no time limit on how much time one can spend applying the Art of Jin Shin to oneself.

It takes 20 minutes to complete one circulation pattern. You can also hold a SEL (location) or finger for a couple of minutes. Point being that if you apply your hands, you are practicing the Art of Jin Shin. It is interesting to observe that we give ourselves Jin Shin without even being aware of it. We naturally hold certain fingers or SEL's (locations) as we know subconsciously what needs to be harmonized. It is an innate part of our wisdom, we are all born with this knowledge. How often do we see a baby suck her/his thumb? This is exactly what the baby needs. There are many other examples.

The Art of Jin Shin is about self­-study and becomes a way of life. Listening, observing and studying oneself on a spiritual, mental, emotional and physical level is the key to knowing and helping oneself. The Art of Jin Shin teaches us how to energize, support and harmonize our total body.

In the Art of Jin Shin, the practitioner uses both hands (referred to as "jumper cables") to hold a combination of Safety Energy Locations. SELs are the area in the body that can become congested and can lock up. When this happens energy cannot flow freely and disharmony or dis-ease may occur. There are 26 SELs on the right- and 26 SELs on the left side of our body. When all 26 SELs are open there is harmony in our total being. 

As the SELs release and balance is restored, the client experiences physical, mental and spiritual harmony. By using our hands and placing them on certain areas, we can open the SELs and release the congestion. The energy flow can now move uninterrupted, down the front and up the back. When all the energy is flowing in harmony, there is a sense of well-being and happiness. It is in this state that healing can occur.

The work encourages a life of simplicity, calmness, patience and self-containment. It is the philosophy and spirit of the work, not the technique, that attracts people to the Art of Jin Shin.
