Therapies - Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy
Jin Shin Jyutsu® is the ancient art of harmonizing body, mind and spirit with gentle touch. Literally translated, it means, "Art of the Creator through compassionate and knowing man." This simple, yet incredibly powerful art was rediscovered in Japan in the beginning of the twentieth century by Jiro Murai, and brought to the west by Mary Burmeister in the 1950s.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is an invaluable complement to conventional healing methods, inducing relaxation, reducing the effects of stress, and assisting our innate healing capacity. Stress has been widely recognized as causing everything from minor aches and pains to chronic health problems. The deep relaxation derived from Jin Shin brings balance to the body's energies, allowing the body to function better, feel better and heal more quickly.
Use of Jin Shin Jyutsu is an innate part of our natural functioning, when a child sucks his thumb or fingers, when an individual presses his fingers to his forehead to concentrate, when you instantly reach to hold the point of a painful injury - these are a few examples of the instinctive reflexes which make use of the Jin Shin Jyutsu concept.
Jin Shin Jyutsu employs twenty-six safety energy locks along a network of energetic pathways that nourish life within the body.
When one or more of these safety energy locks become blocked, a local disruption can occur, eventually resulting in disharmony of the energetic pathway completely.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is applied by a trained practitioner, and as self-help. It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated energy locks, to harmonize and restore the energy flow. This facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which accumulate through normal daily living.
A Jin Shin Jyutsu session generally lasts an hour, and does not involve massage or use of substances. It is a gentle, yet powerful art, practiced by placing fingertips (over clothing) onto the safety energy locks in specific combination.
A Jin Shin session begins with listening to the pulse, which reveals to the practitioner information about the current flow of energy and state of being of the client. It indicates where he or she needs help. Unlike western medicine, the emphasis is not on diagnosing, but on harmonizing. All disease (or project) begins with blockages of energy, and the pulse shows the practitioner the specific energy points that need to be held to restore the harmonious flow, without creating additional stress in the client's mind about the condition.
The remaining treatment consists of gently holding points in various combinations until complete harmony of energy and pulsation is established. There is no pain or physical manipulation. The practitioner uses his/her hands and "jumper cables" the energy in order to recharge the "battery of life", enabling universal energy to flow through the client's body and reawaken its natural healing ability.
As simple as this technique is, it yields amazing results physically, as well as emotionally. It is effective in relieving pain; stiff, spastic, or strained muscles and joints; respiratory conditions; appetite imbalance; reproductive difficulties and much more. 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. Although for chronic conditions several sessions might be needed, improvement is usually experienced after only one session.
Unlike other " alternative treatments," Jin Shin is not simply a mechanical technique. It is an art, a philosophy, an involvement with the body's total harmony as it relates to well-being. This explains it's greater complexity, subtlety, and more extensive effects.
Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self-study and 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.
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 available to all.
Jin Shin Jyutsu has a long history, and a growing following around the world.
"There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people."
