Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy is the ancient art of harmonizing body, mind and spirit with gentle touch. It facilitates balance in the body's energy systems, which promotes health and well being.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an invaluable complement to conventional healing methods, inducing relaxation, reducing the effects of stress, and assisting our innate healing capacity.

Born of innate wisdom and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu® had fallen into relative obscurity when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai in Japan. The resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's.

Jin Shin Jyutsu® gently brings the body's own energy into balance and harmony by having the practitioner "jumper-cable" or hold specific stress points. These "stress points" are twenty-six "safety energy locks" along energy pathways that feed life into our bodies. When one or more of the paths becomes 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, so that people invariably feel more relaxed and less stressed after experiencing a Jin Shin Jyutsu® session.

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 actively in maintaining health, harmony and well-being, the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a simple and powerful tool.
