Jin Shin Jyutsu healing arts


 

Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is an ancient Japanese, non-invasive energy healing art that balances the body's energy pathways to reduce stress, pain, and emotional tension. Similar to acupuncture but without needles or deep pressure, it uses gentle, light touch on 26 "Safety Energy Locks" (SELs) to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 

Key Aspects of Jin Shin Jyutsu:
  • Core Principle: It addresses the root causes of "dis-ease" (disharmony) rather than just symptoms, often described as a "jumper cable" for energy flow. 
  • Technique: Practitioners use their hands (like jumper cables) to balance energy flow in a 1-hour session while the client is fully clothed. 
  • Self-Help: A key part of the practice involves learning simple self-care routines, such as finger holding, to manage emotions and physical pain. 
  • Finger Mudras: Specific fingers correspond to emotions—thumb (worry), index (fear), middle (anger), ring (sadness), and pinky (effort). 
  • Origins: Revitalized by Jiro Murai in Japan in the early 20th century and brought to America by Mary Burmeister in the 1950s. [3, 6, 7, 8, 9] 
Health Benefits:
  • Stress Reduction: Most commonly reported benefit is deep, profound relaxation. 
  • Symptom Management: Frequently used to manage side effects of cancer treatments (chemo, radiation) including anxiety, depression, and pain. 
  • Improved Well-being: Promotes emotional balance and increases energy levels. [3, 4, 5]
