The name Jin Shin Jyutsu means "The Art of the Creator through the person of compassion."  This healing art shares its roots with modalities like acupuncture and Shiatsu.  It brings a person to physical, emotional, and spiritual balance through quiet touch.  Jin Shin, a helpful adjunct to Western medicine, helps strengthen the immune system and relax the body, thereby allowing healing to occur.

Jin Shin was widely known in Japan in early times, where it was used by many for healing.  This wisdom gradually disappeared from daily living until the early 1900's, when Master Jiro Murai, a Japanese sage  rediscovered it.  He spent many years studying through practice, and the resulting knowledge was then given to his student Mary Burmeister, an American living in Japan.  Since then, her students have helped other students, and the Jin Shin community has spread throughout the world.
