"Whenever they experienced pain or illness, the ancients didn't go running to the all-night drugstore for a bottle of pills," says the narrator of Natural Pain Relief. Instead, they relied on natural healing arts that still work, thousands of years later. This hour-long video presents instruction in three healing techniques: Jin Shin Do, reflexology, and breathing and visualization. Each has a different instructor. Jin Shin Do (body-mind acupressure) releases tension in the neck and shoulders to increase the flow of chi (energy) through the whole body using acupressure points where energy tends to gather and get blocked. The instructor presses on two points simultaneously to release the flow. She demonstrates in a relaxed class setting how to use this technique with another person or on yourself. Reflexology involves applying pressure to points on the foot that correlate to, or reflect, organs, glands, and muscles. Because the foot is a map of the body, reflexology improves whole-body function and balance. The instructor does a reflexology session on a client, explaining clearly what she is doing, what part of the body is being affected, and what she is "reading" from the foot. The breathing and visualization segment takes you through a guided meditation focusing on breathing with awareness and creating visualizations for healing. --Joan Price

This review is from: Natural Pain Relief (DVD)

There was only 20 min of Jin Shin Do (type of acupressure that uses it's own different ways to classify points then acupunture.) which was set in a class & VERY drawn out & boring about how to do acupressure yourself which is very easy & simple.
There was only 15 min on a few basic strokes & very little info on reflexology that would fill only a 20 page book.
Visualization was also a disapointment where you only concentrate on breathing & what you feel & not be afraid to be more aware of your body lead by a woman with 2 other woman sitting & breathing while the teacher spoke. They discussed what they felt & they did do another visualization of reminding you of nature scenes you remember & concentrating on that, but it also could have been more uplifting & longer.
All these only gave a brief overview & was a good start but barely scratch the surface of these great arts.
