“THE ART OF LIVING” 

“There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.”

WHAT IS JIN SHIN JYUTSU?

Jin Shin Jyutsu, known as the “Grandmother” of acupuncture (but without the needling) shares its very ancient roots with acupressure and acupuncture.  Jin Shin Jyutsu is the Art of releasing tension in the body by harmonizing the energy within.  The body contains several energetic pathways that nourish each of the cells.  There is energetic disharmony when one or more of these pathways become blocked.  This blockage may lead to discomfort or pain and may disrupt a specific area and may continue and eventually disharmonize the entire path of the energy flow causing pain or dis-ease.

Jin Shin Jyutsu brings Harmony to the body’s circulatory system which provides optimal health and facilitates our own body’s innate healing capacity.   Our health & general well-being are dependent upon the constant and unobstructed flow patterns throughout the body.  In Jin Shin Jyutsu there are 26 “safety energy locks” or power-points along the energetic pathways.  When the “safety energy locks” are unobstructed, energy and life-force flow smoothly.  When an area becomes blocked due to daily stress, bad food or injuries the safety energy locks become blocked and this increases the chance of illness or being out of harmonic balance.

Jin Shin Jyutsu nudges us to remember that we have the ability to harmonize and balance ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.  It helps us change our attitudes as well as our bodies.

HOW DOES JIN SHIN JYUTSU WORK?

Imagine that a human being has a framework composed of energy as well as a physical body. Sometimes this framework becomes misaligned without it being obvious that the physical body is affected. If the energetic system is in harmony, then the person leads a happy, normal life, free of illness. If the energetic system becomes misaligned, then the physical body starts to feel the effect, leading to health issues - physical, emotional or mental. The energetic system becomes disharmonized through a variety of ways, such as: heredity, accident or trauma, climate, diet, lifestyle, dis-ease or the attitudes of worry, fear, anger, sadness and trying-to.

Jin Shin Jyutsu realigns the energy system, encourages correct energy flow and creates a path to awaken the awareness of complete harmony within the Self and the Universe.  Some people feel the Dynamic benefits immediately.  Other people notice changes more subtlety. People with chronic conditions, or “big physical projects” can be treated as often as every 8 hours.  

WHERE IS JIN SHIN JYUTSU FROM? 

According to very ancient written records, which remain in the Archives Of The Imperial Palace In Japan, Jin Shin Jyutsu was widely known before the birth of Moses, Buddah AND before the KOJIKI, The Japanese Record Of Ancient Things – recorded in 712 AD.   

Early in the 20^th century, Jiro Murai, by accident, rediscovered Jin Shin Jyutsu after clearing himself from a life-threatening illness.  He devoted his life to studying The Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu. 

Mary Burmeister, a first-generation Japanese-American and a student of Murai’s brought back to America all that she had learned of Jin Shin Jyutsi from her Japanese teacher.  For more info on Mary Burmeister, visit the following website:  www.jsjinc.com

WHAT HAPPENS IN A JIN SHIN JYUTSU SESSION? 

A Jin Shin Jyutsu session lasts about 1 hour.  The client remains completely clothed.  There is no manipulation or massage.  The Practitioner “reads” the body, listens to the pulses and then decides which “Flow” is needed and places her/his hands on the client’s body, on specific safety energy locks.  A “Flow” is a sequence of hand movements designed to unblock and facilitate correct flow of energy.  This is known as “jumper-cabling”.  This facilitates the reduction of tension, fatigue, stress and far more serious “labels”. 

Each session is customized for the specific client’s needs.  For more chronic conditions, it is most effective to have very regular sessions at close intervals. 

HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER THE SESSION?

Most every client reports a feeling of deep, deep relaxation and well-being.  Many people fall asleep and many people see colors.  The experience is unique to each person. 

As simple as this healing art is, it yields remarkable results physically, as well as emotionally. It is effective in relieving pain; stiff, spastic, or strained muscles and joints; respiratory conditions; appetite imbalance; and reproductive difficulties. It has a dramatic effect on emotional problems, and people frequently have experiences of spiritual integration during or after a session. Stress is alleviated and the client leaves feeling much more centered and relaxed. For chronic conditions several sessions might be needed, improvement may be experienced after only one session.
