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 Ancient 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.

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 optional 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.
Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study, self-help.
Through the process of "now know myself" we recognize the wisdom of
the body, and we learn to interpret the messages provided and
utilize them to restore balance.
Jin Shin Jyutsu can be applied as self-help and also by a trained
practitioner. A Jin Shin Jyutsu session generally lasts about
an hour. It does not involve massage, manipulation of muscles,
or use of drugs or substances. 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.
For those of us addressing existing stress or health disharmonies,
or for those simply wishing to participate inactively in maintaining
health, harmony, and well-being the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a
simple and powerful tool, available to all!
