Lately I’ve been getting a lot of hits to this blog from folks searching for information about Jin Shin Jyutsu. Most of these have come from other countries , while Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) remains relatively unknown in parts of the U.S. So, I thought I’d share some of the benefits I’ve gotten from JSJ, and why I’m so passionate about it. After all, it’s great resource that may be closer to you than you think~
Jin Shin Jyutsu (it’s a registered trademark but I don’t know how to put the (R) symbol in my text) is described in many ways: a physio-philosophy - a way of life. The kanji characters translate variously as Body - Mind - Art, or the Harmonizing Art of the Creator through the Compassionate Being. That last is an expanded translation that I love. However, I refer to JSJ as an energy-balance form of bodywork, so that people will know it involves a hands-on session that harmonizes the subtle energy fields of the body. And by the way, it feels great!
When I first met Jin Shin Jyutsu - and how I met JSJ is another story - I was working in a highly demanding management position, while coping with chronic health issues. This was challenging to say the least. There had been times in my younger days when I’d be bedridden for five to eight weeks at a time - and that was in my 20s and 30s. By the time I met JSJ, the long bedridden times were not so evident, but it was still a daily struggle to muster up enough vital energy to do what had to be done. With my first JSJ session, I felt great and I rode on the energy wave it me gave for the next several weeks of demanding travel and work schedules. It was like nothing I’d ever experienced before - I felt strong, collected, and balanced.
It took me eight years after that to find JSJ again, and when I did there was no going back. My body loves JSJ. At first I had no ideas or expectations of “curing” any of my conditions; I just knew that it felt good. But after a few years of daily practice with self-help applications, plus receiving practitioner sessions whenever I could get them, I noticed I was feeling better and better. more often and for longer time periods:
~My levels of physical energy balanced and stabilized.
~Migraine headaches, a condition I’ve lived with since childhood, became milder, less frequent, and more manageable.
~I stopped getting every cold that came around, and the colds I did get were less severe and cleared up more quickly.
~When I faced the challenge of periodontal surgery some years ago, Jin Shin Jyutsu helped me breeze through it with speedy recovery and almost no post-operative pain.
~I became much less of a worrier, and even lost a little cellulite!
Those are just some of the benefits I’ve had from Jin Shin Jyutsu in my own life. Practicing self-help and seeing the results compelled me to take the Five-Day Seminars which are a basic part of training for practitioners:
Before I knew it - actually, two years and more seminars later -I became a practitioner and was able to extend this beautiful form of energy work to others. I love all the types of work that I do, but giving Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions is a special favorite of mine. To see people get up off the table after an hour of blissful harmonizing, with fresh color and a smile on their face, is truly a blessing. And it does me good to spend that peaceful hour with my client.
Wouldn’t you like to experience this bliss for yourself? If you live in or are traveling through the beautiful high-desert of Albuquerque, NM, I’m here for you! You can visit my website

As we say in Jin Shin Jytusu, be the smile. Until next time, happy balancing!

Hi - enjoyed reading your account of what Jin Shin Jyutsu has done for you. I too have personally experienced the healing properties of this wonderful art.
When I was first introduced to JSJ I had just been thrown off a horse, and had landed on my back. I also had a minor concussion. I received my first JSJ treatment within hours of my fall, and everyday thereafter for a week. My chiropractor was impressed by my recovery process and said I was healing at least twice as fast as expected, and with minimal bruising…it wasn’t my first fall from a horse… so he had some other injuries to compare with.
I then began using JSJ self help on myself, to help with my fibromyalgia… a legacy from a bout of Epstein Barr virus I had gone through some years previous, and my multiple food and environmental allergies. Within 3 months, the fibromyalgia cleared up and has not returned. And I went from having to have twice weekly allergy shots, to not needing to take an antihistamine in years.
I also began using JSJ on my pet rabbits and parrots with great effects, and also the horses I was riding.
I was so impressed with the results, I became a practitioner, and now offer treatments and self-care workshops for people, and their dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am located in Toronto, ON Canada and service the GTA. I can be reached at info@healthybalancedbody.com
