Not just a tool.
A teacher
you can hold.

In Jin Shin, the hands are everything. They hold, they listen, they flow energy between the body's Returning Points. Christina designed these reference hands to make that wisdom tangible — something you can place on your desk, turn in your hands, and return to again and again as your practice deepens.

Inspired by Da Vinci's anatomical studies of the human form, each hand is Christina's own "living sketch" — a practitioner's map encoded into a beautiful object.

All 26 Points Locations Marked Every Returning Point is numbered and positioned on the correct finger joint or palm point, front and back.
Five Element Color Coding Fingernails painted in the Five Element colors — Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal — for instant visual reference.
Organ Flows + Planetary Days Each finger carries its corresponding organ meridian flow and planetary/day associations.
Left & Right Pair Every set includes both hands — essential for understanding directional flow in Jin Shin practice.
Articulated, Poseable Fully moveable joints so you can pose your hands in holds and demonstrate sequences naturally.

Crafted to last.
Cared for with intention.

Each hand is made from sustainable beechwood with articulated joints. The lettering is done in archival ink and sealed. With simple care, your hands will accompany your practice for years.

01
Keep dry

Wood and water don't mix. Store away from humidity and direct sunlight to preserve the lettering and finish.

02
Dust gently

A soft dry cloth is all you need. Avoid solvents or cleaning sprays near the inked surfaces.

03
Handle with love

These are art objects as much as tools. The more you handle them in practice, the more they become yours.
