Jin Shin Jyutsu is a spiritual and physical study of the body born of innate wisdom: it was an oral tradition lost and rediscovered in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai in Japan. Master Murai cleared himself of a life threatening illness by solely working on his hands for 7 days; he then dedicated his life to this ancient "artless art." Jin Shin Jyutsu was written about in the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things 712 AD) and was known to exist before the birth of Moses and Buddha. We will discuss the history of Jin Shin Jyutsu and learn to work on our own fingers. Each finger represents 2 organs and an attitude or emotion; because all the energy of the body goes through our hands, we can help to ease pain, balance emotions, reduce stress, bring relaxation. Common "projects" of the class will be addressed, the idea being to teach students to help themselves with their personal issues. This class is open to EVERYONE who is interested in learning ways to heal themselves. It also gives 2 CEUs to FL Licensed Massage Therapists (FL CEU class # 20 - 7091). This is a helpful class for Reiki students and Practitioners, helping facilitate the process of being a clear channel for the Reiki energy to flow.

Jin Shin Jyutsu was written about in the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things 712 AD) and was known to exist before the birth of Moses and Buddha. Learning Jin Shin Jyutsu engages one in self study and self help, assisting those of all ages and occupations. Our bodies contain several energy pathways that feed life into our celss. Using our hands as "jumper cables" we can help to aleviate pain, erduce stress, bring relaxation, and restore harmony top our body, mind, emotions, and spirit. By gently touching the 26 "Energy Locks" a general sense of well being is acheived.
Jin means Man of Knowing and Compassion; Shin means Creator; Jyutsu means Art. Jin Shin Jyutsu therefore means Art of the Creator through the Man of Knowing and Compassion.
