The Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu
The Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu
Ultimately, the individual is responsibile for their own health and healing. A good diet of
fruits and vegetables, exercise, positive attitude( with will power) and maybe some
supplements, can heal and energize the body of most people.Energy treatments can also help a
body. I've been helped and know many others that have, too. Dr. Ray, the founder of Body
Electronics once said,"Repent...do not resent. Forgive...do not expect. Release...do not
maintain conditions. Reason...do not contend. Experience...do not exclude. Encompass...do
not restrict, limit or deprive." I once spent 10 hrs. in a B.E. workshop, repenting, forgiving,
releasing, reasoning, experiencing and encompassing. It changed my life and many others.
The art of Jin Shin was brought from Japan by Mary Burmeister in the early 1900"s.
The energy or vital force flows throughout the body on the pathways of the nervous system
and meridians. It is an electrical flow, stimulated by the brain (consciously and
unconsciously). Sometimes these neural pathways become blocked or slowed down due to
calcium deposits. Other restrictions to our "LIFE FORCE" may be from poor diet, toxins,
injury, stress, exhaustion, negative thoughts or emotions and poor mental attitudes. All of
these things deprives the body's organs of life force energy that is needed to thrive and
maintain health. The art of Jin Shin is practiced to disolve or break up the resistence that we
have caused in our body. The first step to good health is taking responsibility and
understanding that we are both the cause and effect of our health.
The function of Jin Shin is to send healing energy or divine life force along the nural
meridians to open the pathways to organs so that they may receive normal stimulation and
therefore enjoy normal function. The giver should become an insturment of Loving, Healing
Hands. It is like God's love in action. Later, I will relate other healing methods on a
thought/emotion level as well as Chakra and Reiki, Reflexology and naturalpath suggestions.
Giving the right treatment or flow in Jin Shin or Reiki, depends on knowledge of the
symptoms. This can be recognized by asking about current feelings, history and reading
someone's pulse.
There are 12 Jin Shin organ flows or treatments that one can give:
*Small intestine
*Heart
*Gall Bladder
*Liver
*Bladder
*Kidney
*Large intestine
*Lung
*Stomach
*Spleen
*Diaphragm
*Umbilicus
It is best if the treatment giver is relaxed and in a simi-medatative mood. One must ask for
and feel, divine love flowing from its source, through your body and out your finger tips
which are placed on the points according to the treatment. Loving patience is required. The
giver must hold the points until the pulses of both points become syncronized( beat together),
then hold until they go away; then move to the next point. Be relaxed and in a comfortable
place, it may take awhile. The average pulse harmonizes in two to five minutes but may
sometimes take fifteen. Treatments should not last over an hour and wait 8 hrs. before the
same person gets another one. It is more effective if the patient is receptive and relaxed and
there is a minimum of conversation. Create a meditative mood after explaining the proceedure
to the patient. Soft music is ok if agreed upon. I suggest that patients take a few deep breaths
and think or envision a beautiful, peaceful place. I ask them that if, during the treatment they
have any pain or strong impulses or visions to tell me. Tell the patient (depending on flow) if
you need to hold a point like coccyx(tail bone) or pubic. Always maintain a professional ethic.
SMALL INTESTINE - disharmony in the small intestines may result in pain in the neck,
shoulder, chin, upper arm or elbow area and/or the mid-section, below the stomach.
Emotionally there could be a loss of enthusiasm, some inscurity and confusion. There may be
heightened activity in the body at times between 2pm and 4pm.
HEART-"That which I have feared, has come upon me." Are there love or security issues?
are there palpitations or chest pain, left arm discomforts, a feeling of doom, dizziness,
sweating or shortness of breath, if so give an asprin and make comfortable. If severe, of
course call 911.
If it is mild apprehension due to lack of love or a broken heart or attitude of pretending and
not an emergency, then begin jin shin treatment.. A heightening of symptoms can occur from
Noon 'til 2pm .
Left flow
(sit on right)
Hand/point
Since there is fear involved, give person a mantra like, "I lovingly allow joy to flow through
my mind and body and experiences, my heart forgives and releases." If possible work with the
color green, the note "F and T-2 on the spine." Recommend: Hawthorn, ginger root,
cayenne pepper, lecithin and lipase.

My most grateful thanks to Peter "Bigfoot", my teacher, at Reevis Mountain School, HCO2,
Box 1534, Roosevelt, Arizona 85545. No treatment is guaranteed but being positive and
seeing the patient as whole, can have a miraculous effect and it can't hurt. God bless.
