Jin Shin Jyutsu physio-philosophy is an ancient art of harmonizing the body's life energy. Born of innate wisdom and passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, the Art had fallen into relative obscurity when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Muria in Japan.

After clearing himself of a life threatening illness, Master Murai devoted the rest of his life to the research and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu, gathering insight from a range of experiences and resources, including the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things). The resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's.

Mary Burmeister began teaching the Art to others in the early 1960's, and today there are thousands of students throughout the United States and around the world.

Jin Shin Jyutsu recognizes that health and illness are associate with either the harmony or imbalance of our vital life force energy. The body contains energy pathways that feed life into cells and nourish internal organs. When one or more these paths become restricted, the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and eventually disharmonize the complete path of energy flow which leads to discomfort, pain, or disease.
