Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hello, All. My name is Rose, I'm 54, I live in rural upstate New York. I am interested in alternative methods of healing, but especially interested in something I recently saw on TV. Granted, it was a work of fiction, but I got the impression it was based on reality. The " practitioner " called in - what sounded like - Jer Jon. Strong impression was that it was Chinese. It involved small massage actions on certain areas of the body, and I mean very, very small movements. Kinda like a Chinese accupressure? But it sounded like Jer Jon, or Ja Jong, something like that. It could have started with a Z or a J, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Thanks, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Maybe it was Jin Shin Do? rings a bell? If so, there are books by Iona teeguarden about this technique.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Especially since Jin Shin Do is referred to as Jin Shin a lot. I have some really simple books that I like, introductory level: High Touch Jin Shin for Self Help and An Introduction to A Gentle Acupressure for Caregivers. Both are by Betsy Ruth Dayton.M.Ed Pretty cheap little booklets packed with easy to understand info. You can find it at www.hightouchnet.com I have a friend who practices Jin Shin and she is really impressed by this lady.

Chinese massage is Tui Na (twee nah), and there's a type of energy healing called chi gong or qi kung which projects chi into the recipeient. Chi gong *sounds* closer to what you might have heard (it's not readily apparent from the spelling but could be pronounced with a J/Z sound; depends on which chinese dialect the speaker was using). Usually it's done without touching, but can also be hands on. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
