Jin Shin Jyutsu is healing art
from ancient tradition. Passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the art was dramatically revived in the early 1900s by Japanese Master Jiro Murai. Master Murai spent many years studying the ancient Japanese word, The Kojiki, and the resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, his only original living student of the art. Jin Shin Jyutsu brings balance to the bodys energies, allowing the body to function better, feel better and heal more quickly. Jin Shin (Jyutsu) is a helpful adjunct to western medicine, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress. Jin Shin employs twenty-six energy locks on the body, pathways that feed life into our bodies. When one or more of the paths become blocked, the blockage or stagnation will disrupt the flow and eventually disharmonize the complete path of energy flow. Holding these locks in combinations can bring

balance, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Learning Jin Shin engages one in self study, self help. In the process of "know myself" one can learn from the body about tension and imbalances, and begin to understand and use the process to restore balance. Jin Shin does not involve massage, manipulation of bones or muscles or use of drugs or substances. It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips over clothing on designated locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow. This facilitates the reducing of tension and stress which accumulate in the body through normal daily living. For those who want to become actively responsible for maintaining their own health and happiness, Jin Shin is an excellent means to that end. In dealing with stress, chronic or more recent health disharmonies, and for health maintenance and high energy level, Jin Shin is a simple and powerful tool, available to all.
