What is Jin Shin Jyutsu®?
A Jin Shin Jyutsu® session generally lasts about
an hour. It does not involve massage or manipulation of
muscles. It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the
fingertips (over clothing) on designated safety energy
locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow. This
facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which
accumulate through normal daily living.
Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy is an ancient art
of harmonizing the life energy in the body. Born of innate
wisdom and passed down from generation to generation by
word of mouth, the Art had fallen into relative obscurity
when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by
Master Jiro Murai in Japan.
After clearing himself of life-threatening illness, Master
Murai devoted the rest of his life to the research and
development of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, gathering insight from
a range of experiences and resources, including the Kojiki
(Record of Anciet Things). The resulting Knowledge of
Jin Shin Jyutsu® was then given to Mary Burmeister, who
brought it to the United States in the 1950's.
Mary Burmeister began teaching the Art to others in the
early 1960's, and today there are thousands of students
throughout the United States and around the world.
Jin Shin Jyutsu® brings balance to the body's energies,
which promotes optimal health and well-being, and facilitates
our own profound healing capacity. It is a valuable complement
to conventional healing methods, inducing relaxation and
reducing the effects of stress.
Jin Shin Jyutsu® employs twenty-six "safety energy locks"
along energy pathways that feed life into our bodies. When
one or more of the paths become blocked, the resulting
stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually disharmonize
the complete path of energy flow. Holding these energy
locks in combination can bring balance to mind, body and
spirit.
