Sore throats, hoarseness, and vocal fatigue can disrupt more than just your voice—they affect your energy, confidence, and well-being. Jin Shin Energy Healing, an ancient Japanese healing art rediscovered by Master Jiro Murai and introduced to the West by Mary Burmeister, offers gentle, effective self-care techniques to restore energetic balance and ease throat discomfort.
🌬️ Why Jin Shin Energy Healing?
In Jin Shin Energy Healing, energy flows through the body in specific pathways. When this flow is disrupted, disharmonies such as sore throats, laryngitis, or vocal strain may arise. By placing your hands on specific energy points, you can help restore balance and support the body’s natural healing process.
Hold each position for 2–5 minutes. If you feel a pulse under your hands, wait until it subsides before releasing. The following holds are for the left side of the body—feel free to reverse them for the right side as needed.
