JIN SHIN JYUTSU®
JIN - Man of Knowing and Compassion
SHIN - Creator
JYUTSU - Art
"Art of the Creator through the Man of
Knowing and Compassion"
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a spiritual and physical study of the body. It is
an ancient form of Japanese acupressure that was an oral tradition known to exist before the birth of Moses and Buddha.  Master Juro Murai rediscovered this art in the early 1900's. He cured himself of a life threatening illness by solely working on his hands.
Jin Shin Jyutsu employs 26 "safety energy locks" that feed life into our cells. When one or more of these pathways becomes blocked, the resulting stagnation can disrupt the local area and
eventually cause physical problems.
Through the process of "know myself" we recognize the wisdom of the body to tell us that something is out of balance. It is a gentle art practiced by placing the hands, in different combinations, over designated "safety energy locks" to help restore harmony to our body, mind and Spirit.
Our hands are known as "jumper cables" that help to recharge the body's "life force." Every time we put our own hands on our bodies, we are opening something up. This method harmonizes and restores the energy flow that helps to reduce tension and stress that accumulate through normal daily living.
For those concerned with existing stress and health issues, or for those who wish to participate in actively maintaining health, the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu is a simple and powerful tool available to all!

"I can honestly say I have worked on myself every day since 1985."

Massage - The Touch of Divinity

by Merry C. Battles

I get to touch God every day.
In Her myriad faces and forms.
In Her glorious beauty and joy.
In Her dark secrets and hidden motives.
I get to stroke God everyday.
In His mighty power and will.
In His ability to be perfect and
Always on time.
I get to touch God everyday.
In His divine order in chaos.
In the hands of a small child.
In the withered hands of a wizened elder,
Who knows how to go with the flow,
And accept what's happening
As the way it should be.
I get to touch God every day
And wonder.
Wonder what comes next?
Imagine truth and beauty
As the answer to all problems.
I bow down to thee, to embrace the honor of union.
Touching God in the tiniest seed,
The most brilliant mind,
The sweet tender love of a child.
