Dear Jin Shin Jyutsu Family,
We have watched as Jin Shin Jyutsu has grown and blossomed into a beautiful flowering tree. Over the years it has grown from the tiny seeds of Master Jiro Murai's experimentation, into the sprouting of inexhaustible hard work and ceaseless devotion of Mary Burmeister. Now the flowering of the tree continues with you; the Jin Shin Jyutsu family. What excites us the most is that through all of these changes and growth, Jin Shin Jyutsu has been able to remain true to its roots. The original plant is still here. It is now bigger, healthier, and more beautiful than ever.
We at the Scottsdale office, have often been made aware of the many "special needs" within the Jin Shin Jyutsu community. As our community expands, so do our responsibilities. As Mary says, "When we know ourselves, we can serve others." We can truly make a difference, and compassion is the key.
As we know, Jin Shin Jyutsu is the "Art of the Creator through Compassionate Man."
With this in mind, we have put together a non-profit foundation called the Mary Burmeister-Jin Shin Jyutsu® Foundation.* This foundation's purpose is to serve others through the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
Many of you have already seen these "needs" in your own communities and have reached out to "serve others." The MB-JSJ Foundation would like to help contribute to as many of these worthy projects as possible.
We believe that together, we can make difference in the lives of many people around the world. Each contribution is deeply appreciated and has helped many who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience this beautiful Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
This foundation is under the guidelines of the public 501(C)(3)(NHF) National Heritage Foundation, tax # 58-2085326. We use the NHF to monitor and account for all of our foundation transactions.
