Let’s delve into the beautiful practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu, shared by Adele Leas in a recent "We Are One" meditation session. Adele Leas, an esteemed author and practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu, discussed how this art can help us and our animal companions navigate anxiety and find deeper connections.
Adele began by expressing her gratitude for the deep connection within the community, despite the physical distance. She shared how Jin Shin Jyutsu revolutionized her life after a drowning accident, particularly in working with rescue animals who often come with many challenges. The essence of her message is trust—self-trust, which grows through the practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
Adele introduced the concept of safety energy locks, focusing on Safety Energy Lock 15, located along the groin, which helps to "wash your heart with joy and laughter." She encouraged everyone to hold this “safety energy lock” and feel connected to the earth. This practice is a fundamental part of Jin Shin Jyutsu, which emphasizes the importance of the breath—exhaling to let go and inhaling to receive abundance.
Adele shared her journey of learning to trust herself and the animals she works with. She emphasized that Jin Shin Jyutsu is about relationship and trust—trusting your hands, your heart, and the process. This trust is crucial for effectively sharing this loving art with animals.
Animals are magnificent teachers, Adele noted. They teach us about trust, the quality of our touch, and what they like or dislike. She highlighted a few safety energy locks that can be challenging with animals, such as Safety Energy Lock 3, known as the "swinging door," which relates to relationships and the immune system.
Adele recounted a pivotal moment in her practice when she learned to adapt the techniques for animals, particularly a horse named Callie. She discovered that substituting safety energy locks with those of the same numerical value could be effective when certain points were hard to reach. For example, Safety Energy Lock 3 can be substituted with Safety Energy Lock 12 (1+2=3), providing flexibility in the practice.
The practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu with animals not only helps them but also deepens the bond between the practitioner and the animal. Adele demonstrated this with her dog, Scirocco, who was a rescue suffering from various issues. Through consistent practice, he has become a healthy and happy family member.
Adele explained how to handle the more challenging safety energy locks, such as Safety Energy Lock 6 on the pads of the feet, by using alternative holds like Safety Energy Lock 15 (1+6=6, so can be substituted for the 6). She reassured that Jin Shin Jyutsu is about relationship and trust—you can't do it wrong.
In response to a viewer's question about calming a baby bulldog, Adele suggested using Safety Energy Locks 10 and 13, which promote unconditional love and universal abundance. She advised working on the puppy when it is already tired to help it learn the work gradually.
