Bobby McFerrin said it well,
"Don't worry be happy n every life we have some trouble When you worry you make it double"
and he made it sound so easy, but trying to fix your mind with your mind can be very difficult.
"When you worry you make it double"
Frequent worry can lead to a host of physical ailments such as heart attacks, high blood pressure,
ulcers, gastrointestinal problems, muscular aches and pains, skin rashes, eczema, respiratory
problems and asthma, and many other stress related disorders. When you worry you are
projecting a portion of your vital force to future events that may happen and limiting the vitality that
you have in the present moment. It is this projection of energy that leaves you vulnerable to the
myriad of stress related symptoms mentioned above. When I studied with Peruvian Elders several
years ago I was fascinated by their observance of our culture and how we throw our energy away
or attach it to so many material things. What a gift it was for me to see our culture at work through
the perception of a completely different way. So if you were aware that you were throwing your
energy away like this would you continue to do it?
Unfortunately some people are genetically wired to worry more than others, and others have
learned this taxing habit from our culture at large. The good news is that there is a lot that you can
do to reduce the worry pattern and bring more peace back into your life. You could start by
thinking about the fact that recent studies are demonstrating that approximately 85% of the things
that people worry about never occur (sorry I couldn't find the actual studies to reference here, but
if you surf around you will find many indirect references to them).
Since most of us have already bought into the belief that our lives must be complex to be
successful, I will keep this column's suggestions simple. Overcoming a life long habit of worry
probably won't happen overnight but consistent, simple effort can reap rewards. Trying to fix your
mind with your mind can be like a dog chasing it's tail, so instead maybe you can look to your
fingers. Jin Shin Jyutsu® is a fabulous tool to release worry from your life. By holding your
thumb with your opposite hand you can transform anxiety energy into a more grounded, centered,
and present energy. This simple and free exercise, repeated throughout the day, over time, will
harmonize your energy and power up your self awareness. You will find yourself worrying less and
also becoming aware of when you are worrying, so that you can choose to stop. Jin Shin
Jyutsu® has a cumulative effect, so the more that you work with it, the more benefits you
receive.

2. I have been studying and practicing Jin Shin Jyutsu® for 20 years now and I have not lost any
interest in it. Instead I continue to be awed and inspired by it as it continues to assist me to
maintain balance in my life and to teach me about the unseen energies within and around me.
Replace your worry with feelings of safety, hold your thumbs and allow the healing to happen.
