What is High Touch Jin Shin Jyustu?





About High Touch Jin Shin Jyutsu

Ancient Eastern and Western Medical philosophies teaches about the Universal life force that runs through everything, including us. This energy breathes life into the body and keeps beings connected to the Universal life force that surrounds us. It flows through organs and bones, and revitalizes the blood and every part of the body along a network of internal pathways called meridians. These pathways can get blocked and when ignored these blockages can manifest themselves in the body as ailments and aches and pains. These blockages can also cause mental and emotional imbalances

A scientific explanation for acupressure is that the pressure applied to the acupoints releases tension in muscle fibres and stimulates deep sensory nerves in the body. This causes a chemical release of endorphins and other substances. These substances, once released in the body, can help with pain relief, assist healing or be used for anaesthetic purposes.


Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle and non-invasive ancient eastern practice following the principles of oriental energy therapy. Using the fingers and hands to balance energy, eliminate stress,create emotional equilibrium, relieve pain and alleviate acute or chronic conditions with a gentle but penetrating touch.
Jin Shin shares the same concepts as acupuncture, which when applied, supports rather than pushes the flow of natural life energy.


An art more than 2000 years old, Jin Shin Jyutsu was dramatically revived in the early 1900’s by Japanese Master, Jiro Murai. One of his original students, Mary Burmeister, introduced it to the United States in the 1960’s, where it has quietly become recognized as an alternative means to aid in healing in conjunction with traditional "Western" medical care.

While the principles of this Art remain the same it has since been adapted to other species. Like their human counterparts, animals can have mental and physical challenges that are caused by energy blockages. Many animals also have points on their bodies that directly correspond to ours, called "Safety Energy Locks" which means that using the same principles and truths that apply to work with people also can bring harmony to animals. As a result, the bond between animals and humans is strengthened.
