Everything is Energy
Wikipedia
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What
we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has
been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses.
There is no matter.” - Albert Einstein
Cycle of life is energy condensing down into matter,
then lightening up, to return to source
At birth, human heart beats at the same Hz as the
earth = most healing state. Heartmath.com
We are energetic envelopes of body, mind, spirit

Our Energy Sources

 Just Breathe! Breath is the immediate source of chi and
connection to self and Source

When did JSJ originate?
 Ancient, intuitive art practiced by many cultures
Handed down through oral tradition
 Jin Shin Jyutsu® had fallen into obscurity by 1900’s
 Rediscovered and revived by Master Jiro Mirai in Japan
Avid interest in philosophy, Jiro researched ancient wisdom
accessing innate ability of the body to heal itself by using the
hands as jumper cables to balance life energy
 Personal experience healing his own terminal disease

Jiro’s Story
Cleared his own terminal illness by holding finger
positions, called mudras, for seven days
Devoted his life to researching and developing JSJ
Taught Mary Burmeister, who brought JSJ to U.S. in
1950’s
Today JSJ is practiced around the world
 “We need never know fatigue. Energy can never tire. It is our
personal imbalance that causes fatigue. When our 26 ‘Safety
Energy Locks’ are unlocked, we are in a state of ecstasy. We have
our two hands as rejuvenators and harmonizers.” Mary Burmeister

What is Jin Shin Jyutsu®?
Translation = the Art of the Creator through the
person of knowing & compassion
Jin Shin Jyutsu Physio-philosophy® is the
ancient art of getting to know oneself by
accessing the body’s wisdom
JSJ studies movement of breath of life
JSJ helps know oneself & connect with one’s
original energetic perfection
JSJ Improves Circulation, Boosts Immunity,
Detoxifies, Clears Stagnation & Blockages

Basic Principles & Terminology
Life is the continuous movement of energy
Health is balanced, harmonious flow of energy
Energy flows in rivers called meridians
Meridians get blocked by attitudes
Attitudes = stuck emotions
 Fear is the core of all attitudes

More Basic Principles
Attitudes block the flow of energy
Over time, blocked energy can create a “project”
diagnosed with a “label”
Safety Energy Locks are main intersections of energy,
like circuit breakers in a house
Gentle touch with hands on safety energy locks allows
stuck energy to flow
Energy Flows Up the Back & Down the Front

Hold Fingers to Balance Emotions
Hold the whole finger
OR
Place pad of thumb on fingernail

Jin Shin Jyutsu® Benefits
Nurtures the body, mind, and spirit by harmonizing the
flow of chi’ or life energy
Releases stuck emotions called attitudes which block
energy flow causing numbness or pain
Supports all body functions, improving cleaning and
healing capacity, and boosting energy
Powerful cleansing function helps prevent disease of
accumulation
As Above, So Below Principle can reveal causes

How Jin Shin Jyutsu® Works
JSJ accesses 26 Safety Energy Locks, which are major
intersections of energy, where tension can collect and
block energy flow
SELs act like circuit breakers in the house
Hands act like jumper cables on a battery, closing the
circuit, so energy can flow
Holding SELs or fingers balances the flow of chi (life
energy) allowing movement towards harmony
Benefits are cumulative

Holding the Fingers Helps…
“Caused by disharmony and run down energy, attitudes are stuck
emotions that block energy flow. The thumb and fingers are keys to
harmonizing the attitudes and revitalizing the energy flows.”
Mary Burmeister

Hold Fingers to Recharge & Harmonize
Mental & Physical Functions
“In time you will know the non-secret secret of the power
that is in the awareness and understanding of the thumbs
and fingers. All disharmonies can be harmonized through
them.” Mary Burmeister
“With these two hands we have the privilege of helping
ourselves and others get in tune with the universe. Hands
are generators of the Creator Power – not from within us,
but a part of the ever – constant and forever balanced
Universal SUPPLY. We need only be AWARE of this
supply.” Mary Burmeister
