“My destiny is in my own hands.” — Mary Burmeister

Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) is an ancient Japanese hands-on healing art that translates as “The Art of the Creator through the Compassionate Person.” Passed down through generations, JSJ harmonizes the body’s life force energy and is believed to be the precursor to Chinese acupuncture, sharing a similar physiophilosophy of wellness and energetic balance.

Just as yoga works with prana, chakras, and nadis, JSJ works with 26 Safety Energy Locks (SELs)—energetic vortexes along energetic pathways in the body that help regulate flow and harmony. Both traditions invite awareness of breath, energy, and alignment to connect body, mind, and spirit with Source.

• JSJ balances energy through gentle touch on specific areas.
• Yoga balances energy through breath and mindful movement. 
• Both bring us into harmony with life itself.

How JSJ Works

In JSJ self-help practice, we place our hands on combinations of SELs in response to our body’s needs. This simple “jumper-cabling” of energy pathways can help release blockages caused by stress, illness, injury, or emotional strain—restoring ease and vitality. For example, to ease general arthritis or stiffness:

• Place your left fingertips in the outside crook of your inner right elbow. 
• Bend your elbow and rest your right fingertips on your right shoulder. 
• Drop your shoulders, relax, and breathe for two–five minutes.  
• As you begin to feel a gentle pulsing or streaming sensation under both hands, your body’s life force — prana — is moving into harmony.

JSJ can support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, pain, insomnia, migraines, mobility issues, nausea, tinnitus, and recovery from injury. It is also used in hospital and clinical settings to ease anxiety, pain, and nausea for pre- and post-surgical patients.
