Can Jin Shin Jyutsu Be Done Online?
Help at home
Online help without leaving the house . . .
Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes, and maybe you’re wondering if you can get that help without ever leaving your house. The answer is yes, of course.
But you might be wondering: How energy can travel through a screen?
It’s a lovely question, and almost everyone asks it before their first online session.
Here’s the thing: the screen isn’t doing the work. The video call is just how we connect with each other. The energy itself isn’t carried through the wires any more than a phone call carries the warmth between two old friends through copper and plastic. Jin Shin Jyutsu works through your own body’s energetic pathways, and those pathways are just as ready to harmonise whether I’m sitting beside you or on the other side of the world.
I always tell my clients: we connect energetically while remaining physically apart. It isn’t a workaround or a lesser version of the real thing, it’s simply another way to access this gentle work.
Does online JSJ feel different to an in-person session?
Honestly, not in any way that matters. The energetic work being done is very much the same, and the sensations and experience are likely the same as an in person session:
- your energy is harmonised just the same
- your body settles and softens just the same
- your mind quietens just the same
- your spirit is soothed just the same
That being said, there are three ways that it is different: my hands aren’t resting directly on your body, you’re in a different location, and you can stay resting without needing to get up and drive home.
The only real difference is where you happen to be lying down – your own sofa instead of my treatment table.
Who opts for online JSJ sessions?
I work with clients right across Ireland and beyond including Europe, North America, and beyond. Online sessions are especially good for you if:
- you live too far from Maynooth to visit easily
- you’d simply rather unwind in your own space
- the weather, your schedule, or getting out the door feels like one thing too much
- you’ve experienced Jin Shin Jyutsu before and just want the ease of staying at home this time.
What you’ll need
Nothing more than a comfortable spot to rest and a few bits for your comfort:
- a private space where you won’t be disturbed
- a glass of water
- a comfortable seat where you can relax
- a cosy blanket in case you get cold. That’s genuinely it.
Curious what it’s actually like, moment by moment?
I’ve written about that here, from before the session to after: What is online Jin Shin Jyutsu like?
