History
of Jin Shin Jyutsu®
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.
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.
How
Does Jin Shin Jyutsu® Work?
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 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.
