Jin Shin Jyutsu - Taking it back to God's will.

With in mind those who know and practice Jin Shin Jyutsu.

I write the following to anyone who knows and practices Jin Shin Jyutsu noting that the angle from which I put this forward is the belief in the Creator, and that nothing happens even when we practice Jin Shin Jyutsu or other, without the will of God.

At a time when I am aware that I have lived my life not really fully understanding in my being that nothing you do, Joumana, is the result of your effort through the commonly known right tools. And with the awareness of how much I love the practice of Jin Shin Jyustsu and the ease of falling into that place where in my whole being I revert any positive outcome to this beautiful knowledge, I care to tie it back consciously to God's will. I do that, with the beauty of what came to me, the beauty of tying certain supplications to certain applications of Jin Shin Jyutsu. It is only a start, it is a start nevertheless, and sharing it may bring beauty from others who may too, share what they know.

There is a table that Laila Moustafa, in her teaching, has shared with us, in Arabic. The table holds each of the 26 points and tied each of those to a state of being, or ability. My knowledge is still early as to absorbing the content that Mary Burmeister has handed to us through her texts in English, and so I cannot trace back the exact location of the content shared by Laila in a table format from the text of Mary Burmeister, and it may as well be the extraction from Laila of content spread in Mary's texts. Gratitude to both in any case, as teachers passing on knowledge, and to Jiro Murai.

As I set myself to go deeper rather than wider, in the practice of opening and energizing the first 10 points, rather than moving on to the remaining 16, I reflect on certain words: point #9 Letting go of the old and opening up to the new: التخلي عن القديم واستقبال الجديد )هذا الوصف من الذاكرة وأظنه مغاير في ذاكرتي عن قائمة أ. ليلى مصطفى), makes me tend to remember this invocation: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله There is no might nor power except with Allah - while this is the translation I found online, the supplication has the word hawl which refer to something changing state from one state to another, and this is where it ties back to #9: Change, a supplication reverting back any change of state to God's will and power. Another point is point #1 movement حركة, point #8 freedom in movement حرية الحركة, those two points inspired in me the invocation, or part of a longer supplication and here I only focus on that part: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من العجز والكسل O Allah! I seek refuge with You incapacity and laziness. While mobility and freedom in mobility or movement is not necessarily directly tied to matters of incapacity or laziness, I sense that at this time I need to tie them, at a time when I pray that my movement and ease in it, not only the bodily of course, in existence rather, be moving in a direction of being in the place that is of highest effectiveness and virtue, and that demands a this very time, having what it takes, away from certain diverting factors.

This is what I have for now on that. And God willing I will move through the 26 points with in mind tying them back to invocations and supplications and knowing what it is that while performing the practice, I am ultimately asking of Allah - God.

Proofing note: This is a text that is not proofed with terminology and accuracy from the textbooks and teachers. I write it in rawness at the very point I am at in my knowledge, this is a disclaimer that the content may contain mistakes and so, for students and seeker of that knowledge to revert back to books and teachers.

best places to study in bristol? like cafes, libraries! from a nervous fresher!!!!!

Hi! I don’t know where you’re living so I’ll try to give a really all over the place list.

Stokes croft has the canteen and another cafe I think called the Arts house? Its also really close to Gloucester Road too where there’s cafes Spicer and Cole and a local library. You can get the train here from Clifton Down or walk if you’re closer to city centre. I don’t go here very often except in the night time for the bars and clubs really so I’m not really sure, but I really recommend you explore here.

I live in Clifton, and in my first year was in Goldney. The village is really pretty and good for walks, and there is a cafe almost every other shop there, really cute gift shops and a tiny waterstones but they don’t have tables, but they will order in books if libraries don’t have them or you just want to own them.

side note, as a fresher always look for student discounts.

I don’t really go to the city centre except for shopping, and there are not a massive amounts of places to study here that I know of just because its so busy. However if you live round there you’ll undoubtedly find prets and costas and neros to study in here.

Getting a bit closer to uni the Bristol central library is pretty cool inside and there often isnt as many students there and its very quiet.

There are loooads of uni libraries and you would probably find the library where most of the books you’l need are the most useful to study in. I don’t like the ASS, you’ll not really find me studying there unless I’m giving it another chance in the off season. You will not find a seat here in exam times. I prefer to stay at home, or go to cafes, or go to quieter libraries at this time if you can fnd them, sometimes going to local bristol libraries run by the council is really great if you want the library surrounding. However usually they aren’t as useful when it comes to books. My favourite libraries in the uni are the ones in wills memorial, I quite like the beacon house study centre, and I also sometimes use Grace Reeves. The physics library is really secluded and old looking, but its such a trek up the stairs in that building that I often don’t bother. I also want to try out the biomed building to see if thats a good spot. The Hawthorns I think is going to be torn down in coming years, they have plans to build a new library there but that also might be worth a try.

And that’s about everywhere I’ve tried! xxxxx
