What is Jin Shin Jyutsu?

An ancient Japanese healing art that uses gentle touch to balance the body’s life energy to support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

How does it work?

Energy Pathways Similar to acupuncture or acupressure, it works with energy channels in the body that can become blocked.

Safety Energy Locks (SELs) There are 26 points on each side of the body where energy can stagnate. Holding these points helps release tension and restore balance.

Hands-on Healing Practitioners (or you, on yourself) use their hands to lightly touch specific areas on the body to facilitate energy flow.

Rooted in the Belief that we can Harmonise Ourselves

Jin Shin Jyutsu translates to "Art of the Creator through the person of compassion and awareness." This practice dates back over 5,000 years, but was rediscovered in the early 20th century by Japanese sage Jiro Murai. His students, including Mary Burmeister, brought it to the U.S. in 1954. Today, many people use Jin Shin Jyutsu for self-help and in one-on-one sessions to benefit others.
