Episode 236: Processing Big Emotions Using Jin Shin Jyutsu with Kat
When your emotions feel like they're spiraling out of control, your body already knows what to do. Ancient healing traditions have long understood that our fingers hold the key to emotional balance, each one connected to specific feelings and energy pathways. This simple truth forms the foundation of Jin Shin Jyutsu, a Japanese healing art.
In this episode, coach Kat Jenkins introduces a powerful hands-on technique called Jin Shin Jyutsu finger holds. This grounding practice assigns each finger to a specific emotion - thumb for worry, index for fear, middle for anger, ring for sadness, and pinky for pretense or trying too hard. By gently holding each finger while breathing mindfully, you can release emotional patterns and calm your nervous system in just minutes.
Through this guided practice, you'll discover how to use your own hands as tools for emotional regulation. Kat walks you through each finger hold step-by-step, explaining not just the technique but the deeper connections to your body's energy systems. You'll learn to recognize which emotions need attention and how to address them directly through this simple yet profound practice that you can use anywhere, anytime you need grounding.
