LILIA CHRISTINA MARTINY, equine therapist, healer, and geomancer at Lilith Farm in Brittany

This is a great book for people who want to learn effective self-care techniques that can work very deeply on all levels and who dont want to feel swamped by too much technical information. I feel it would suit both those with knowledge of the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu as well as novices. I particularly like the simple, clear, and reassuring information, instructions, and diagrams.

SALLY PHELPS, complementary health practitioner (vibrational medicine, soul healing) and self-care group leader

I am delighted that Tina Stmpfig has detailed the self-healing techniques of Jin Shin Jyutsu so well. Her clear structure and well-explained instructions make this book easy to follow, and her conviction and passion for this healing art, along with her manifold practical experience, is evident. An enriching book that I recommend to my clients too. Thank you.

MARTINA KAMPERHOFF, ergotherapist, behavioural therapist, and coach

A wonderful reference work for gentle self-help! Clearly structured and well-illustrated, the author conveys how to use the various Jin Shin Jyutsu hand holds to release blockages and harmonize the life energy in the body. A book that I recommend often!

ANDREA ANGLHUBER, coach and MBSR facilitator (mindfulness-based stress reduction)

This book is very practical and easy to use! All the healing flows are well illustrated and quick to apply. I also appreciate the positive and encouraging way in which the author deals with the topics of life. Just reading this book makes me feel good. I often use the finger holds of Jin Shin Jyutsu to fall asleep, which is an enormous help to me. As a natural therapist I also recommend this book to my clients.

BETTINA VON NOTTBECK, natural therapist and trauma therapist

Ive been using Jin Shin healing touch for just over one year. I find the main central flow exercise most helpful for balancing and awakening my energies in the morning. Its a great way to begin the day! I also benefit from using holds and touches for specific issues on an as needed basis. I found the book to be a clear, concise, and easy reference. In my view, Jin Shin and similar meridian treatments may be our best friend in times of emergency.

MARCUS LINDNER, mindfulness practitioner, Findhorn Community

I thank Jiro Murai for the rediscovery of Jin Shin Jyutsu and for bringing this wonderful healing art back to the world. I thank Mary Burmeister for dedicating her life to this art and for bringing it to the West.

Thank you to all Jin Shin Jyutsu teachers who are spreading this knowledge to make it accessible to ever more people.

I thank my daughter Mira Stmpfig for the illustrations and the models Samaya and Lucia Stmpfig, Bettina von Nottbeck, Miriam Burtscher, Torsten Steppe, Johannes and Ulrike Dehner and Paula and Andrea Haag.

This book provides you with a special kind of medicine cabinet for which you need neither specific remedies nor any kind of essence, but solely and exclusively your hands.

The method of Jin Shin Jyutsu described here is ancient but nonetheless highly current. It is the art of bringing life energy into harmony, increasing our vitality and joy in life and strengthening our self-healing capacities.

And it is yet more: it is a form of intuitive knowledge that we all carry within us from birth and unconsciously use time and again. When you rest your head in your hands, you are harmonizing points on your head that help you to remember things. When you cross your arms, you are activating certain points in the crook of the elbows that help you stand in your power and authority. Maybe as a kid at school you always sat on your hands? This strengthened your concentration and memory. Babies who suck their thumbs are harmonizing their digestive systems. They are also calming and comforting themselves when feeling insecure in a still new and often frightening world. When you put your hand on your shoulder, tension and stress are released. You also free yourself from the burdens that you have accumulated over the course of your life and carried around as a matter of course.

As such, we automatically use the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu consistently without being aware of it. How wonderful it is to make conscious use of this ancient knowledge to strengthen and harmonize ourselves, simply by placing our hands on certain points on our bodythereby allowing many physical, psychological and spiritual issues to simply dissolve!

This book invites you to use this simple and effortless art and to experience its gentle healing power first-hand.

The Healing Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu

Introduction

Jin Shin Jyutsucolloquially also simply referred to as Jin Shinis an ancient source of knowledge about the harmonization of life energy. It is said to have been spread all over the world hundreds of years ago and to have been transmitted orally from generation to generation until eventually it was forgotten and used only intuitively, if at all.

Jiro Murai from Japan rediscovered and researched this gentle art of self-healing at the beginning of the twentieth century, following his own recovery from a very serious illness. He transcribed his knowledge and passed it on to his students Kato Sensei and Mary Burmeister. As a result, this art was given a Japanese name: Jin Shin Jyutsu, which translates as the Creators art through the compassionate person.

Jin: knowing, compassionate person

Shin: creator

Jyutsu: art

Mary Burmeister introduced the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu to the Western world and hence made it accessible to us once again.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle healing art that you can use on yourself and of course also on other people, as well as animals. By placing your hands on certain points on the body, life energy is harmonized and restored to a vibrant flow. As self-healing capacities are mobilized, body, mind and soul become geared towards healing and complaints and symptoms are alleviated or completely eliminated.

You can use Jin Shin Jyutsu in parallel to any other therapies, even if you are receiving medical treatment. Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments can, for example, reduce the side effects of medication and reinforce and speed up recovery following surgery. Jin Shin Jyutsu is not a miracle cure, but an art for harmonizing life energy in the body. Yet, miracles can happen, especially if you deeply engage and trust yourself.
