Jin Shin Jyutsu, or the Art of Living, is an ancient form of energetic bodywork that was rediscovered by Jiro Murai in Japan at the beginning of the 20th Century. It was brought to the United States by Mary Burmeister mid-century and thanks to her organization and teaching has spread throughout the world.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a simple, yet profound, bodywork art that helps to harmonize energetic patterns in the body by various combinations of "jumper-cable" holds around the body. This gentle hand pressure encourages a revitalized flow of energy throughout the body. Integrating yogic mudras and the Chinese meridian system with a map of "safety energy locks," Jin Shin Jyutsu is a beautiful expression of energetic healing that balances body, mind and spirit.
