Jin Shin Jyutsu®, the art of harmony.

Many of us, at some point in our lives, experience feelings that something is just not right. Harmony can be lost through diet, attitudes, stress of injury. The gentle art of Jin Shin Jyutsu® brings us back to harmony and health. This quiet non invasive complementary therapy can be found in a variety of settings. From a self help class teaching attendees this simple art of harmony, a large seminar giving instruction for practitioners or in a hospital setting.

The effects on people receiving treatment using Jin Shin Jyutsu®, regardless of their state of health, range from a deep relaxation to a feeling of well being.

Following are several examples of current case studies using this amazing healing art.

1. A case study invovling oncology patient with mouth sores was done at Sunnyside Hospital in California. Practitioners used Jin Shin Jyutsu® to treat mouth sores and other related side effects as a result of cancer treatment.
   Nine out of ten patients experienced rapid healing of the mouth sores with daily treatment sessions. A few other benefits felt by patients in the study included minimal nausea and intestinal cramping.


2. A trial program at California Pacific Medical Center found that Jin Shin Jyutsu® reportedly helped reduce anxiety and depression for heart transplant recipients before surgery.


3. The Marian Center Institute (one of the few medical practices the offer complementary therapies) in conjunction with their treatment program. In this integrated oncology approach a patient receives a Jin Shin Jyutsu® session either during of after receiving chemotherapy.
   Patients report a more relaxed state and fewer side effects from the chemotherapy.

What does a typical Jin Shin Jyutsu® session entail? It is as simple as breathing. Jin Shin Jyutsu® utilizes the breath while a client lies fully clothed. The practitioner then places their hands (or jumper cables) in sequences along the body. These sequences help restore the body's harmony along the energetic pathways of the body.

Any ache, pain, disease, injury, can be seen from the perspective of Jin Shin Jyutsu® as an abnormal energy pattern. Harmonize the energy pattern and the body is also harmonized.

This energy is invisable. Fortunately it has been studied by Juro Murai and brought to the United States by Mary Burmeister, who began teaching in the late 1960's.

Mary Burmeister had studied with Master Jiro Murai in Japan for many years. Master Jiro Murai's journey of rediscovery of a lost ancient art began with his terminal illness. By age 26 Master Murai requested his family carry him to the moutain cabin and return in eight days. While meditating and using finger poses, he found himself getting colder and colder as each day past, until the 7th day when he experienced a feeling of going from the freezer to the furnace and passed out. Upon regaining consciousness, Master Murai knew he would not die, walked down the mountain to meet his family and dedicated the remaining years of his life studying the art that saved his life. This simple story was the beginning of an amazing art of harmony.
