Jin Shin Jyutsu® Physio-Philosophy

Jin Shin Jyutsu, trans­lated as the Art of the Cre­ator Through Com­pas­sion­ate Man, is an ancient form of energy ther­apy that orig­i­nated from Japan. It is based on the the­ory that there is life energy cir­cu­lat­ing through­out the uni­verse and moves through each liv­ing organ­ism and through the body, fol­low­ing a pre­de­fined path­way. Along this energy path­way are 26 safety energy locks act­ing as cir­cuit break­ers, which will shut down when the body is over­stressed, abused or tensed. Thereby, caus­ing block­ages along the energy path­ways and restrict­ing the flow of energy.

To restore the nat­ural flow of energy and release the safety energy locks, our hands are used as jumper cables. The Jin Shin Jyutsu prac­ti­tioner places their hands on the site of the appro­pri­ate safety energy lock, sim­i­lar to how one might use jumper cables to recharge a worn down car bat­tery. It does not involve mas­sage, manip­u­la­tion of mus­cles, or the use of drugs or substances.

Dur­ing a ses­sion with a cer­ti­fied prac­ti­tioner, the client reports a deep sense of relax­ation or energy. A ses­sion can focus on help­ing a par­tic­u­lar issue or project that the client presents with or for relax­ation or ener­giz­ing. Jin Shin Jyutsu is very much a part of inte­gra­tive and com­ple­men­tary ther­apy. It sup­ports health pro­mo­tion and well­ness and the body’s innate abil­ity to heal itself.
