Jennifer Bradley practices jin shin jyutsu, and currently works at her own practice, teaches jin shin jyutsu sessions, and works with cancer patients at the University of Kentucky's Markey Cancer Center and Saint Joseph Hospital's Hospice. She became interested in this area of complementary medicine in 2002, when her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Bradley was able to see firsthand how jin shin jyutsu helped to debilitate the side effects of chemotherapy. So how does it work?
In Japanese, jin shin jyutsu means "the art of the Creator through compassionate man." There are 52 "safety energy locks" in the body, 26 on each side, and the practitioner "listens" to the energetic pulses in the wrist area, analyzes current state of the body's energy system, and unblocks these safety energy locks through "flows" (Tyler, Tanja). Flows are specific hand placement movements done by the practitioner to areas of the patient's body energy system that need to be unblocked. The purpose of this practice is to send the body's energy back through the body so it is evenly distributed throughout the patient's energy system. Jennifer Bradley says, "If the mind can rest, the body can follow."
