Jin Shin Do® Acupressure Facial August 16, 2009

JIN SHIN DO (R) WITH IONA MARSAA TEEGUARDEN, Dipl. ABT (NCCAOM), M.A., L.M.F.T.

As well as using points on the face and head, this acupressure facial works with the main neck points, called "Windows of the Sky." It helps release neck tension and aids the circulation of "Qi" up and down the body, which opens the "windows" and helps relax the facial muscles.
The class begins with Pal Dan Gum (the "8 Silken Movements," which are Qigong stretching exercises). After some basic theory and technique, students learn and practice the 12-step JSD facial, originally developed for cosmetologists, which uses only points on the face, head, neck, arms and hands. Students also exchange the 5-step Basic JSD Neck/Shoulder Release. Wonderfully relaxing!
