HIgh Touch Jin Shin is a self-healing art which came to the western world from the ancient Japanese tradition of natural medicine.  Jin Shin, roughly translates as " the compassionate being". It is also known as the art of " knowing and helping myself".  

   Jin Shin is gentle and noninvasive.  The treatments follow the ancient principles of oriental energy therapy, sharing many of the same concepts upon which acupuncture is based.  High Touch Jin Shin, however, utilizes the life force that emanates from our fingertips, which when applied with a very gentle but penetrating touch, supports rather than pushes the natural flow of the body's energy.  The person receiving the treatment is encouraged to relax, to subconsciously direct how the energy is used and to reflect upon the opportunity it brings.  This supportive partnership enables the energy to circulate to whatever depth the person needs, accessing all levels of the energy flow.

   A person receiving regular treatments may notice an unusual sense of harmony and well-being.  They may also see and understand their unconscious patterns of internalizing stress, negative emotions, and thoughts.  Physical stresses and strains begin to shift and lift and there is no longer the usual fatigue.

   Jin Shin allows for a clarity and calmness to enter the body and mind, so that deeper, internal awareness can be accessed more readily, similar to the effects of a meditation practice.

REIKI HEALING--USUI SYSTEM
Reiki healing is a hands-on energy healing art. It was originated in Japan in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui, who had a life-changing experience of light and energy that he recognized as reiki--sacred life force--and that awakened his innate healing abilities. He developed a system of practices that enabled others to become effective healers. In a reiki healing session, the practitioner, trained to access and serve as a channel for the life force (ki or chi), places her hands on or just above the client’s body in order to activate healing energy within receptive points on the body. The practitioner’s hands move progressively with a passive touch through twelve positions on the body, remaining in each position for three to five minutes. As a harmonic flow of energy is strengthened, within the client and practitioner, healing occurs through the return of physical, mental, and spiritual balance.

Tui na (Chinese: 推拏[citation needed] or 推拿; pinyin: tuī ná), is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy often used in conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion, fire cupping, Chinese herbalism, t'ai chi, and qigong. It is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese taoist and martial art principles in an attempt to bring into balance the eight principlesof Traditional Chinese Medicine. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub the areas between each of the joints (known as the eight gates) to open the body's defensive (wei) chi and get the energy moving in the meridians as well as the muscles. The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction, massage, with the stimulation ofacupressure points; this is claimed to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions. Tui na is an integral part of TCM and is taught in TCM schools as part of formal training in Oriental medicine. Many East Asian martial arts schools also teach tui na to their advanced students for the treatment and management of injury and pain due to training. As with many other traditional Chinese medical practices, there are several different schools with greater or smaller differences in their approach to the discipline. It is related also to Chinese massage or anma (按摩).wikipedia
