Lumbar Circle

This chart clarifies the Lumbar Circle. It shows the relationships between the depths in an easy-to-comprehend format and explains, with directions and examples, when and how to use the lumbar circle in your sessions. Note that this concept can be rather challenging to understand and apply, so play with it. This chart is a culmination of what Karen Searls learned in various classes, with various teachers, one-on-one correspondence with a teacher, a personal review of the Jin Shin Jyutsu texts and class notes, as well as study of the 5-Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
