Jin Shin Do acupressure includes the use of 30 main points. Additional steps may be added as the student progresses, but these are the starting points on which Jin Shin is based. These points make up eight "strange flows" and include places of general stagnation and blockages in the natural flow of energy in the body. By working on these pressure centers through this pattern of points, energy can be regulated and controlled. In addition to these areas, there are a number of points from the Grand Central Channel, which will be included in the thirty pressure map (Tsubo). These central tsubo are easily detected on anatomical landmarks.
The best way to find out what you really are, by the way, is how it feels. Most of them will be places of tension and tension that create stiffness to the touch. On tsubo, there is often a place that looks like a small depression or void that may lie between the tendons and muscle fibers. This is useful if you cannot find this depression to keep points that look more tense. The acu-point can be a very small area, but the area to which it extends is about ten cents. While you are in the common area, you can release any energy. Overtime you will develop sensitivity at your fingertips and will be able to more accurately determine them. But at the moment, practice is all you need to think about.
This is the basic thirty-point system with the numbers of Jin Shin Do, used to direct the student according to the established formula. They are numbered consecutively in the front and up the body, then down the outside of the arms and up the inside of the arms. There are 12 full tsubo on the front of the body and twelve on the back and 8 on the arms. Remember that the descriptions of each point are two-sided, that is, they are in the exact place on the other side of the body. Try practicing yourself first and then your friend or family member. It is also useful to get a chart so you can visually see where the cubes are on the body. Any Chinese meridian system diagram will do the trick.
