Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient healing Art that harmonises the body’s energy by using the fingers and hands. Available to each one of us, it is a gentle, yet dynamic way to facilitate the body’s own healing ability at the root level to promote increased health and wellbeing.

The principles and KEYS of Jin Shin Jyutsu are as old as mankind, and as such, form part of our human make up. In ancient times, the teachings of this Art were passed down orally from generation to generation, but later the Art was virtually lost until it was dramatically revived in 1912 by a man called Jiro Murai in Japan. After healing himself of a terminal illness, Jiro Murai dedicated his life to studying how the energy pathways flow through the body. He rediscovered the unique system of KEY energy sites (officially called Safety Energy Locks) on the body. By using these, he learnt how to balance and correct any energy pathways that were compromised. He called this Jin Shin Jyutsu which at the time he took to mean: the art of happiness, the art of benevolence, the art of longevity. Jin Shin Jyutsu was introduced to the West in the 1950s by one of Master Jiro Murai’s most dedicated students, Mary Burmeister. She became its foremost teacher and now there are thousands of Jin Shin Jyutsu students and practitioners around the world.

Literally translated from the Japanese, Jin Shin Jyutsu means 'The Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion'.

Jin Shin Jyutsu works by gently placing the hands on specific energy sites on the body. There are 26 energy sites, officially called Safety Energy Locks (SELs), on the left side and 26 mirror images on the right side. These 26 pairs of energy sites are spheres of concentrated energy and are located on the body according to their meaning and function. By lightly placing the hands on these SELs we can restore and harmonize the flow of energy and therefore facilitate the body’s natural capacity for self healing.

Simply bring your smile.

We have mats, rugs, meditation cushions and a few chairs for those that would be more comfortable in a chair.

If you have your favorite mat, cushion or other feel free to bring it.

There is no need to bring a note pad and pen either, we will be using our hands so note taking isn't really possible.

Comfortable loose fitting clothes are recommended

The doors will open 15 minutes before the scheduled time, so feel free to arrive a few minutes beforehand.

We will be using our hands throughout the hour; however, there will be handouts given at the end of the workshop for review of the topics covered during the workshop.

 This workshop is free. In this series of workshops, you will experience using gentle touch to remove the ener­getic blocks that are causing physical and emotional pain and disease. These self-care techniques can help you live healthier and happier lives. Like acupressure, the Art of Jin Shin can be administered by a trained prac­titioner, or it can be self-applied.
