Each Finger Is Connected to Two Organs: An Incredible Japanese Therapeutic Method
Did you know that something as simple as holding your fingers can help relieve stress, balance emotions, and support overall well-being? Rooted in an ancient Japanese healing art called Jin Shin Jyutsu, this therapeutic method is based on the idea that each finger is energetically connected to specific organs and emotions.
While it doesn’t replace medical care, many people use this gentle practice as a calming, supportive wellness technique—and its simplicity is what makes it so powerful.
