Using JingJin Yoga for Trauma

Embrace the journey of healing by creating a safe space within your practice. Establishing a sense of safety is crucial when working with trauma in the body, allowing for deeper emotional and physical release. The JingJin Yoga technique meets those requirements. Slowly approaching the stretch allows awareness of the reactions. 

The method is to first identify which of the tendinomuscular meridians (TMM) run through the painful area and to pick the stretch that addresses it. For the yoga practitioner working on themselves, the yoga posture that aligns the whole tract along the TMM will remind the body of its natural path from head to toe. This is coupled with respectful awareness of the signals of the body, including the positive responses of flow as the pathways of Qi and Blood are improved. Unlock the potential of your body by understanding how the fibers in your muscles respond to movement. As these fibers loosen, they create a natural flow that enhances lubrication, allowing the tissue to return to its original state, promoting overall flexibility and health.

Less is More  By integrating these principles, practitioners can enhance their practice and promote a more profound connection to movement and flexibility.  Explore the transformative power of JingJin Yoga by embracing the principle of ‘less is more.’ Allow your body to naturally open and stretch without force, leading to a deeper connection and enhanced flexibility.

The practice of JingJin Yoga encourages a mindful examination of bodily sensations, allowing individuals to recognize and respond to signals of tension, pain, or fear. This awareness fosters a deeper connection to oneself, promoting healing and personal growth.

A Qi Story

Except for it being a foreign word, Qi is not really exotic. It’s just energy. Everybody talks about it all the time: what it does, the different kinds, what happens when there’s not enough of it or too much of it. But the mystery is that nobody can say what “it” is, exactly, even though it is the basis of Western Science and of Chinese Medicine. Western Science says:

  • It is what makes things (matter) move (mechanical energy)
  • It is stored in the bonds between molecules (chemical energy).
  • It is the movement of charged particles (electrical energy).
  • It travels in waves (radiant or electromagnetic energy). (Lately we’ve discovered that those waves can also act like particles, without notice. So…?)
  • It is either in action (kinetic energy) or stored (potential energy).
