Art of the Creator through man of knowing & compassion

Welcome to Jin Shin Jyutsu

Art of the Creator through man of knowing and compassion

Jin Shin Jyutsu® physio-philosophy is an art of harmonizing the life energy in the body. Born of innate wisdom and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the Art had fallen into relative obscurity when it was dramatically revived in the early 1900's by Master Jiro Murai in Japan.

After clearing himself of a life-threatening illness, Master Murai devoted the rest of his life to the research and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu, gathering insight from a range of experiences and resources, including the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Things). The resulting knowledge of Jin Shin Jyutsu was then given to Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the United States in the 1950's.

Mary Burmeister began teaching the Art to others in the early 1960's, and today there are thousands of students throughout the United States and around the world.

🆕 5 Day Online Living the Art – March 2026 - Thursday, March 12th @ 6PM New York time

Presented in English by Sara Harper

Mary Burmeister said that in “the awareness of the moment (the breath), one’s present state of being will become an Art of LIVING.” The purpose of this seminar is to bring us into this awareness through a detailed exploration of Mary’s three Self-Help Books and through practicing the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help. This seminar differs from the Self-Help Class in that the meanings of Mary’s words and numbers in the books are presented at a deeper level, creating a bridge of information with Texts 1 and 2 from the 5-Day Basic Seminar. With this background, students are better prepared to study, practice and perhaps teach Self-Help. Time is allotted for discussion and refinement of communication skills on selected Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help topics

This seminar involves exploring Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help in depth with Mary Burmeister’s three Self-Help Books, revealing all that Mary has included in these extraordinary books, and becoming more familiar with their contents. This class can deepen one’s understanding and daily practice of the self-help materials. A third objective is to improve our ability to share clearly, simply and safely the Physio-Philosophy and the Self-Help practice with others (family, friends, clients, groups), privately, in a lecture or Self-Help class.

Location:
Online via Zoom
