Based on the similar concepts to those of traditional Chinese medicine and Acupressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu can be classified as a 'Mind and Body Practice' type of Complementary Health Approach, in accordance to the NCCIH[1].
Jin Shin Jyutsu allows an individual to practice it as self-care[2] or care for others[3], including animals[4].
In the United States, Jin Shin Jyutsu is a registered trademark of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Inc. (founded by Mary Burmeister).
Background
[edit]Jin Shin Jyutsu was re-discovered in Japan by Master Jiro Murai, as he recovered from a life threatening condition. It was later brought to the United States by Mary Burmeister.
Concepts
[edit]Jin Shin Jyutsu aims to harmonize body, mind, and spirit through relaxation and letting go of the attitudes (worry, fear, anger, sadness, trying to).
Unlike other Energy medicine modalities, Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioners believe that they do not exchange energy with those receiving the Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment. Instead, the practitioner hands are used to indicate the direction energy should flow within the bodies of those individual receiving the Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment.
A Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment is then accomplished by positioning the practitioner's hands at pre-determined points of the treatment recipient's body. These points are known as Safety Energy Locks (SELs). There are 26 pairs of Safety Energy Locks in the human body (Is it possible to add a SEL chart? Is there one available in open source?), with each SEL of the pair being on the same position of the body, just on different sides (one on the left, the other on the right side).
