Begin Your Journey
Art of Jin Shin is healing art from ancient tradition. Passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the Art was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Japanese Master Jiro Murai. Master Murai spent many years studying the ancient Japanese text, Kojiki, and the resulting knowledge of Jin Shin was then given to Mary Burmeister, his original student of the Art.
Art of Jin Shin brings balance to the body's energy, allowing the body to function better, feel better and rejuvenate more quickly. Jin Shin is a helpful adjunct to western medicine, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress.
Jin Shin employs twenty-six personal energetic centers which fuel the body’s physiology. When one or more of these centers become blocked, the blockage or stagnation will disrupt circulation and eventually disharmonize energetic flow which affects the body. Holding these locks in specific combinations restores balance, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Learning Jin Shin engages one in self study, self help. “It is the Art of getting to know (help) myself” - Mary Burmeister.
Jin Shin does not involve massage, manipulation of bones or muscles, or use of drugs or substances. It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips over clothing on designated areas to harmonize and restore energetic flow. This facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which may accumulate in the body through normal daily living.
For those who want to become actively responsible for maintaining their own health and happiness, Jin Shin is an excellent means to that end. In dealing with stress, chronic or more recent health disharmonies, and for health maintenance and high energy level, Jin Shin is a simple and powerful tool, available to all.
