Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® Retreat

An introduction to Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® 

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Qi” or energy, and improve vitality. 

This clothes-on method helps relieve stress- and trauma- related problems.

A unique synthesis of a traditional Japanese acupressure technique, classic Chinese acutheory, Taoist philosophy, Qigong (breathing and exercise techniques), Reichian segmental theory and principles of Ericksonian psychotherapy, Jin Shin Do® acupressure was originated by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden.

 

Acupressure retreat at Costa Dulce: a time to learn, to heal, to connect 

The Jin Shin Do®Bodymind Acupressure® Basic class works with the “Strange Flows” or “Extraordinary Meridians” that are formed in the womb and where all the other meridians are formed from. Working on those, on Segmental Releasing of the main rings of armoring in the body, as well as Bodymind® counselling skills to deal with emotional release, this class will help bring you back to your original Divine Blueprint and remembrance of who you truly are.

Over the six days, you will learn acupressure theory, Taoist breathing techniques and exercises, 55 acupressure points and give and receive acupressure sessions.

A required text is “Acupressure way of Health” by Iona Teeguarden. We will have books available on site for US$30 but we recommend that you acquire a copy and start reading ahead of joining the course. 

A booklets and an acupressure chart are included.
