Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu stems from the “beginning of the universe” a truly timeless art. It concentrates on the harmony and harmonizes the energy within the body rather than on disharmony and problems.
It was rediscovered in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai, who, after recovering from a "terminal" illness, devoted himself to the revival of the Art for future generations. He believed that the capacity to use this Art is born in all of us, like our hands, the tools with which it is applied.
It is a physio-philosophy that involves the application of the hands for gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body; more generally, it is the awakening to awareness of complete harmony within the self and the Universe.

Master Jiro Murai

Master Jiro Murai of Japan, born before the turn of the century, rediscovered these principles when he fell terminally ill as a young mand in his twenties. Science could offer no cure so he asked to be taken to his family’s mountain cabin where he wished to be alone. He fasted and meditated and after 7 days of fevers and chill, he found himself completely cured. In awe and gratitude, he vowed to dedicate the rest of his life to the rediscovery of the Art and to leave his findings to the Ijmperial shrine “Ise Jingu”. This he did accomplish.
Mary Burmeister

A first generation American of Japanese parents, was guided to Master Murai in the 1940's and studied with him in person for five to six years. Upon her return to America she continued to study with him via correspondence until his death in 1960. She started sharing the art in the early 60’s teaching in America. In 1977 the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu was taken to West Germany. Since 1990 the art has been shared throughout the USA, Europe, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, India and Singapore.
