Interesting book. The Art of Jin Shin is a Japanese healing practice that utilizes your fingers/hands to redirect the flow of energy for everything from anxiety to migraines.
I enjoyed it. I think it would be a good reference book. I thought the visuals and descriptions could have been more elaborate-they were a tad cartoonish.

Thank you NetGalley & Simon & Schuster for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

You can help relief certain pains and annoying ailments that can bother us throughout the day. I’ve been practicing this for a few years myself.
This book explains you how to do just that with clear instructions and illustrations.
A handy guide to have at home.

This book focuses on Jin Fhin or acupressure practice. It starts with a primer on what it is and where the major points are. The rest of the book is an alphabetical list of illnesses and issues felt within the body and how to heal them with touch. These would be great practices to incorporate into your yoga studies.

'Healing at Your Fingertips' is a guide on the obscure art of Jin Shin, a Japanese healing method of touch. There are 80 conditions that can be treated with this book which involves gentle touching of different points on the body, similar to acupressure (but different) to redirect and unblock the flow of energy.

This book focuses only on the practical application using diagrams and simple instructions on where to touch. It does not contain any information about the history of this technique, its popularity, its efficacy, or how long and how often the touching should be done. I would have liked an explanation about how energy gets blocked in the first place and any potential risks involved with this modality.

I have tried some of the holds but because there is no information on how often it needs to be done or for how long, I can't say if it was successful for me.

I don't doubt that Jin Shin works, but the author who is president of the Jin Shin Institute, is clearly very adept at this technique and needs to include more background information about it...otherwise, it appears to be a very basic picture book on acupressure.

I am very intrigued by it and will definitely research it further.

This is a great book to help you know your health is in your hands or rather fingertips. This wil. Be a book that you will be referring to. Many times
