Jin Shin Jyutsu Self care for Women - PMS
PMS (Pre - and Post! - Menstrual Syndrome) - A sudden cramping in the pelvis for this problem is very uncomfortable and painful to say the least for many ladies there. This amazing and awesome Jin Shin Jyutsu hold was discovered one day through a sudden cramp of a lady i knew when she drove and stopped at the red light. Its simple yet profound.
Its the last hold of the MCV (Main Central Vertical)self help: Left hand goes just above the pubic bone (front of body) and right hand goes on the coccyx (back of body) - see previous posts for the full MCV flow. This hold moves the stagnant energy through that part with immediate results to start: by the time the light turned greenn the cramp had simply gone, and it has never come back again like that for a long long time.
This hold is also good for heavy legs, poor circulation of the body, cold feet and legs that 'jump'. Simply generally leg projects.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese healing art. The Magic is in your hands. Try and believe.
Have fun

#1 flow pattern
**
#1. The position 1 located on the inside of the knees is also known as a prime mover. If you have just started on JSJ, this is the most correct point to hold. In Jin Shin Jyutsu, there are no negative positions, only positive to aide the body. The #1, helps start the body moving. A practitioner, who herself was helping people, got sick once. It was just a common flu that would not go away no matter what complicated poses she held, and so she went back to the most basic.Her #1. Her flu which would not go away with 3 days complicated flow, went away in the hour that she was holding her #1.
This is the easiest position to achieve. You sit anywhere, and cross your arms so that they are holding the opposite inside of your knees. THIS IS #1. You CANNOT GO WRONG with it. You can do it when you're watching TV, when you're taking a break at work, of you can do one #1 at one time, whatever suits you. So by holding both sides of #1 regularly, you will be intrigued by its results.
Thats it for now and have fun. =)

Something about Mary Burmeister
Hello all
After saying so much about this art, I know many of you are asking, what is the history of the art...Here is to provide you with some history... This talks about the woman who brought most of the teachings of JSJ to the modern world. She is the very close student of the Master who dramatically rediscovered this art in the early 1900s. Without the 2 of them, this art would be lost. Next time I would talk abit about Master Jiro Murai (rediscover the art) and Dr. Haruki Kato (the other close student of Murai). To find the picture of her (Mary), please go to the international website which I have provided on the site as well.
Lately been finding what to share and yeah, found this great article which talks a lot about her already so i guess its needless to write more about her since others have done it (who definitely knows her more than we do).
An Interview with Mary Burmeister,
Master of Jin Shin Jyutsu®
by Melissa Higgins
Article published in the March/April 1988 issue of Yoga Journal
The tiny, energetic woman placed one of my hands in hers, grasping my forefinger firmly but not tightly. Her eyes sparkled as she looked into mine and said, "See? Isn't that simple?" Miraculously, the tension of months of work disappeared. It was Jin Shin Jyutsu® in action, she explained.
Categorizing Jin Shin Jyutsu can be as difficult as pigeonholing its one-woman leading force, Mary Burmeister. More than a style of bodywork, it's a philosophy of life taught by a master who lives her philosophy.
Burmeister describes Jin Shin Jyutsu (which means "art of the Creator through compassionate man" in Japanese) as a "physio-philosophy" that is used by everyone unconsciously, doesn't "do" anything, yet encompasses everything. "I call it the art of life, the art of life itself. It is the whole cosmos and cannot be categorized," Burmeister explains.
The purpose of Jin Shin Jyutsu is to release the tensions that cause various physical symptoms. The body, Burmeister teaches, contains energy pathways that feed life into all cells. When one or more of these paths become blocked, the damming effect can lead to discomfort or pain. Jin Shin Jyutsu, like acupuncture and acupressure, reharmonizes and balances the energy flows.
Recently I participated in Burmeister's five-day Jin Shin Jyutsu course to learn more about this little-known "art" from the Orient. Although she has a large and loyal following, Burmeister keeps a low public profile and, until now, has never allowed an interview.
Based on ancient knowledge of the body and creation, Jin Shin Jyutsu was passed down orally from one generation to the next and had virtually disappeared in Japan when it was rediscovered in the early 1900s by Jiro Murai, a Japanese philosopher. As a young man, Murai contracted what was diagnosed as a terminal illness. He asked his family to take him to the mountains and leave him in solitude for seven days.
In a feverish state, Murai imagined sages in spiritual meditation using hand mudras, which he applied to himself as he went in and out of consciousness. By the seventh day he was completely healed, and he vowed to spend the rest of his life studying the connection between his amazing recovery and the mudras he had used.
Searching for answers, Murai studied the Bible (which he translated himself) and ancient Chinese, Greek, and Indian texts. But it was the Kojiki, the Japanese "Record of Ancient Things," that opened the door for him.
"He unraveled the mystery of a plain, old story, the Kojiki, which describes creation in allegories," says Burmeister. "He read into the words."
From his study of the Kojiki and his 50 years of personal experimentation, Murai concluded that Jin Shin Jyutsu was more than a philosophy of the body.
"Murai studied the Chinese acupressure points, then took them a step further by experimenting on himself and fasting. He compared what he experienced to the ancient acupuncture writings and compared them to what he felt. His experiences were much deeper than what he found in the writings. There is an awareness in Jin Shin Jyutsu that is deeper than technique," Burmeister says.
Theories of the body and philosophies of creation were far from Burmeister's mind when she met Murai in the late 1940s. A first-generation Japanese-American born in Seattle, she went to Japan to learn Japanese, not to study Jin Shin Jyutsu. "A young lady came to me and asked me to tutor her in English," Burmeister recalls. "It was through this casual meeting that some months later I met Jiro Murai at her home. The first words he said to me were, 'How would you like to study with me to take a gift from Japan to America?' I had no idea what he was talking about, but I went to hear him speak and knew I would stay to listen. I studied with him in Japan for five years, then in America through correspondence for seven more years."
It was 17 years, however, before Burmeister started sharing Jin Shin Jyutsu with others. "I just felt I had to know something before I could say I knew it. Then I realized you can't say you ever really know an art like this. One day I found myself timidly putting my hand out to a neighbor with a back problem and saying, 'Maybe I can help you.' After five years of working with her, I moved, and she then went back to her chiropractor, who called me soon after and requested that we meet. The chiropractor became my first student.
"After two years of sharing with the chiropractor, I started to translate and write down what I had learned from Jiro Murai. I'd stay up late at night after taking care of the children, writing and making drawings. The chiropractor said she had a few colleagues with whom she'd like me to share Jin Shin Jyutsu. Our group grew to about six students, including a psychologist, a physician, and another chiropractor. That's how it began."
Burmeister explains that our revitalizing energy, which flows up the back and down the front of the body, can become blocked in 26 "safety energy locks," or what she terms "specialists," located throughout the body and in the organs themselves.
"As we abuse our bodies in our daily routines, mentally, emotionally, digestively, or physically, our safety energy locking system becomes activated," says Burmeister.
"This is simply to let us know we are abusing our bodies."
A flow can be unblocked through a sequence of steps, or through a "quickie" step as simple as grasping a finger. The revitalizing energy then flows through the hands, or what Burmeister calls the "jumper cables," and can penetrate through clothing, even a brace or a cast.
"Light pressure goes through the skin and into the bone. If pain is present, it's because there is blockage and the pain is coming from the person, not the pressure. We don't have to dig into the very marrow of the bone. All we have to do is take away the dams."
Burmeister says that in Jin Shin Jyutsu there is no diagnosing, healing, or curing. "Some of you can go out today and look at the book and try this out. But you're not doing it, it's the light and the 'specialist' that are doing it. And the person you're working on says, 'Hey, my headache's gone.' But it's not you who's done it, it's the 'specialist' on step one, step two, step three, that's cleaning the debris for that particular complaint. We cannot do wrong because we are not doing anything. We are only jumper cables."
"Not doing anything" while at the same time doing something is one of several paradoxes in Jin Shin Jyutsu. Despite its esoteric principles, however, Burmeister maintains that Jin Shin Jyutsu is an inborn art that anyone can learn without much training.
"Plato said, 'Learning is remembering.' There's nothing we have to learn. We're always utilizing part of Jin Shin Jyutsu naturally, but as soon as we come into the world, it's 'gotta get,' 'gotta go,' 'gotta get your education,' and the skill lies dormant."
A student with a sprained ankle tells Burmeister that after her accident she has developed a habit of holding her wrist "That's helping the sprained ankle," Burmeister replies. "We carry a baby a certain way, and that's helping the little one without our knowing why. When a baby sucks its thumb, we tell it, 'No, no, that's wrong,' but the baby is telling us about its needs. It's in need of real energy, or its digestion needs help. Sucking the thumb helps the baby's nervous and muscular systems. As adults, we can hold the thumb and get the same result."
Burmeister says that Jin Shin Jyutsu not only aids the body, but changes the attitudes that underlie the physical symptoms. "Jin Shin Jyutsu helps everything from head to toe and toe to head. There are 27 trillion cells in the body, and if we smile, all 27 trillion cells smile with us. This is how we help ourselves in health.
"A five-year-old girl came in for a session with her parents. At the first session she was unhappy, all frowns. After the third session, she smiled at her mother and said, 'I love life.' Isn't that dynamic?"
During the five days of class, Burmeister shared other success stories. A woman in a wheelchair whose hands were stiff with arthritis was unable to enjoy her favorite hobby, knitting. A friend who was familiar with Jin Shin Jyutsu told her about holding the fingers. A few days later, after using Jin Shin Jyutsu on herself every night, the woman was knitting again.
A teenager working in a fast-food restaurant burned his arm in a vat of hot oil. His mother, a student of Burmeister's, placed her hands gently on his calves, the location specified in Jin Shin Jyutsu for helping skin ailments. The next morning, not only had all signs of the burn disappeared, but his complexion had cleared up as well.
Amazing as these stories are, I wondered how any kind of body therapy that didn't include direct and deep manipulation of the spine or muscles could be so effective. Although I felt tension disappear when Burmeister held my finger, I was not completely convinced.
Then I experienced a full Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment firsthand. In a class practice session, Burmeister took one look at me and said, "You're a 'doer.' You're always out in the world trying to get things done, rather than relaxing and letting things be."
From observing my body - the bend of my toes, my hands held over my stomach, my left shoulder higher than the right - Burmeister seemed to know almost everything about me. Yet she insists there is nothing unusual in what she does.
"When someone comes in for a session, I know the way they eat, I know what their needs are. And they say, 'Gee, you're psychic.' I'm not psychic. There's nothing mysterious about it. I'm just reading what the body is telling me."
At Burmeister's direction, one student placed her fingers under the back of my neck and another held my big toe and ankle. Two students on either side of my body each put a hand under my back. Then one of these students grasped my inner thigh at the knee, and the other put his free hand on top of my calf. Over the next 20 minutes I felt the tension in my back muscles melt away. Gurgles rose up from the depths of my torso. Toes and fingers twitched and moved. My breathing became deeper and more even. In general, I felt a sense of calmness, balance, and well-being. Even the puffiness in my cheeks disappeared.
Other students experienced their own small successes. Obviously something was working, but would the results last?
"The physical, mental, and emotional may be cleaned up for now," Burmeister says, "but if we go out and dirty it up again, we need to clean up the dirt, dust, and grime again. That's all it is. You'll just come in for more housecleaning, or you'll do it yourself."
Although dedicated to her work, Burmeister is hesitant to promote Jin Shin Jyutsu as a business. She does no advertising for her courses or private practice in Arizona, yet her classes fill quickly with students from around the world, and new clients have to wait up to one year for treatment. Watching and talking with Burmeister, I soon understood why: By living the simplicity, calmness, patience, and self-containment that lie at the heart of Jin Shin Jyutsu, she has become its best promoter.
"In Jin Shin Jyutsu there are no teachers or masters, they are all the same. I always say, 'Be the example.' We don't have to preach to other people. When people see me and say, 'You're so calm and relaxed. How do you do it, are you on pills or something?' Then I can tell them about the hands. The jumper cables are the light. I've been studying for 30 years, and I know nothing.
"I don't see a future. I'm just in the now. Whatever direction it is, so it is. Whatever direction comes up, that's what I am. We're having this interview because David (her son and business manager) said it's time to get out a little bit more. I never butt into God's plans, I just go along with what is. Life is not a struggle, life is enjoying the now. It's simple."

The Trinity
Hello again, I promised to add the other 2 trinity exercise other than the main central vertical flow.
The 'Trinity' in Jin Shin Jyutsu consists of the Main Central Vertical energy - Universal Source of Life(see earlier post), the Supervisors (left and right energy-where the Organ Function Energy is which I will talk about it soon), and the Mediator (which keeps the crossing of the energies from left to right and vice versa harmonized and revitalised). The Trinity is a truly powerful combination of exercises as it addresses everything and helps everything on every level especially those hard to treat problems. Do all three exercises, or just one at a time and be amazed at the result you can see.Self help for Harmonising Left and Right Major Supervisors Energy: (right flow) Place left hand on right shoulder (SEL11&3 area) and right hand on right groin (SEL 15) then after a few minutes after both hands pulse at the same beat, move the right hand and hold the right buttock (SEL 25). Reverse the hands for the LEFT flow. The Right flow helps the energy to ascend while the Left Flow helps the energy to descend. Its like "energy down the front and up the back".
Self help for Harmonising Mediator Energy: (to harmonise the left side energy) Place the left thumb over the left ring fingernail to make a circle (one of the mudra which I will cover some next time) and place the right hand over the left shoulder (over SEL 11&3 area). At the same time, bring the knees together. Mary herself mentioned in Self Help book 1: The Mediator energy is the main cause for disharmony in the body. It is vitally important to keep this energy functioning as it should for the ultimate supply of energy to the whole man. Thus, if this energy is not in balance, be sure that lots of disharmonies would show up in the body. I am not trying to scare you but indeed many projects happen because of the disharmony in this energy pattern.
So yes, these 3 energy patterns are the most important in keeping the body in balance. Its like the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for Christians. 1 cannot exisit without the other and they are all related in some sense, neither there are 3 energy source flowing in the body. There is only 1 energy course in the body moving simultaneously in the body which can flow easily, stuck/jammed or anything. Its just how we live our lives and what we do. You are the maker of your destiny.
In a more advanced note: If you've been on the 5-day Jin Shin Jyutsu seminar and have Text 1 and Text 2, then you'll find the Main Central on page 37, the Supervisors on pages 50 and 51, and the Mediator on page 53 - all in text 1. I am sure the instructors will stress on their importance of keeping these energies in total harmony and balance.
The Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-help books by Mary Burmeister/ The Touch of Healing by Alice Burmeister can be ordered from the International Headquarters, Jin Shin Jyutsu Inc in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have provided the link in the blog. Please purchase them if possible, it will be very helpful. Around the country, there are many self help classes/groups that one can join. If you are interested in attending any of these, email me and I will try to find a practitioner to further assist you.

#1.
Hey everyone, i will be helping to "decode" Nick's words today, together with the many stories of JSJ.
We're looking at choking on this post. People especially our kids choke on many things, small things like lego blocks, play dough, or the larger stuff we all choke on like fish ball, or mini mini stuff like fish bones. This will also help those who have problems in their esophagus, also know as their throat. These are those who have difficulty with eating as their throat would encounter problems.
1)
In an acute situation we go to the emergency hold (choking, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, sudden weakness in the body). Hold the inside of your knees. When we sit down and our legs come together at our knees, the line just below the knob of our knee, is the #1 in JSJ. If you are doing for someone else, keep in mind whether sitting or standing, it would be good to cross your arms and hold their inside of knees. This is because it helps bring energy down and there is a positive criss-cross of energy pattern.
Nick has also suggested shifting your hands, where instead of holding the person's inside of knees, you could also move you're hand one palm space up from the inside of knees, and on the thigh and hold it there instead. This is a more direct aid to the problem, but should you have any confusion, the #1 works positively as well.
2)
Also another aide to the #1, is the #19. This is our inner elbow, and it deals with authority. Have you ever wondered why people fold their arms when they're irritated, angry, or intimidated by what someone else has said or is saying to or about them? This is the reason. Our #19 is authority. When we cross our arms, our fingers are often resting on our arms, and it is close to the high #19. Fold your arms but allow your fingers to rest on the arms, and shift your top two fingers another three spaces up and you are right at the high#19.
The high#19s help to open up two energy sites on your back (#9#10). These two sites are located at the mid and bottom of your triangular shoulder blade. As they reside in the chest area, it aides in clearing the chest and helps the digestive system.
3)
The last # is the #12. It is located at the sides of your neck, meaning both sides. This is like in old chinese movies, where people try to check if a person is dead or not, they put their fingers at the side of their necks to feel their pulse. Same position, and this position would help clear blockages and obstructions in your throat.
**
For mothers who's children have epilepsy who tend to choke when they lie down, #12 would help, but a faster and more efficient way would be holding the big toes (#7). Use your right hand to hold his right big toe and your left hand to hold his left big toe. This will cause your arms to be in a cross position. Why the big toe?
Epilepsy is caused by too much electrical charge in their brains, and because it has no where to go, it goes haywire in the minds. This applies to those who's fits are more vivid, such as those who foam at the mouth, as well as those who do not foam, but tense up and twitch instead. #7, the big toe is the opposite of the top of the head, it is the bottom of the body. Holding the big toe, which is at the end of the body, will pull all the additional charge from the top of the head down, clearing their heads of the electricity charge, allowing for faster recovery.
This is a tried and tested method, as i use to teach children with autism, and one of my students had epilepsy. His fits could last up to 30mins, and parents, i know that that is a scary time frame, but with holding his big toes, 90% of the time he recovered just two minutes into the fits.
For those thinking about epilepsy, no, the electrical charge will not come into you instead. We are like channels for the negative energy to be removed from the body, but no, the energy will not pass to you, just channeled out. the body will have it's own way of discharging the negative energy, and seeing that epileptic children have no way of discharging that negative energy, our fingers work as jumper cables to help start their healing process, and as channels, we do not take their negative nor their positive energy.
Both Nick and I will spell more about jumper cables in the next few posts, so do stay tuned to how to better help everyone including yourself! =]

We're looking at choking on this post. People especially our kids choke on many things, small things like lego blocks, play dough, or the larger stuff we all choke on like fish ball, or mini mini stuff like fish bones. This will also help those who have problems in their esophagus, also know as their throat. These are those who have difficulty with eating as their throat would encounter problems.
1)
In an acute situation we go to the emergency hold (choking, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, sudden weakness in the body). Hold the inside of your knees. When we sit down and our legs come together at our knees, the line just below the knob of our knee, is the #1 in JSJ. If you are doing for someone else, keep in mind whether sitting or standing, it would be good to cross your arms and hold their inside of knees. This is because it helps bring energy down and there is a positive criss-cross of energy pattern.

JSJ on how to open the throat
Hello all once again
Been some time since I last posted. Have been down with mild pneumonia. Recovering. These days just noticed how some people would choke (with anything from bones to fishballs, etc) and nothing seem to help using the conventional methods. Fear not because JSJ is here to help. This is also helpful for people who cannot descend food into their stomach due to problems they encounter in the esophagus.
Here is how to help:
In a situation like this - acute situation that is, go to the EMERGENCY hold (choking, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, sudden malaise) which is to place the hands on the inside of the knees (SEL 1). If possible, go 1 palm above the 1s (High 1s) which is the more precise site to help this problem. These can be done with arms crossed or not. Personally I like crossing my arms (so that there are 2 energy patterns done-right and left energy patterns). Please see the 26 Safety Energy Locks Chart for the location. The ones are to be used in this kind of emergency because they BRING THE ENERGY DOWN. Also helpful for this situation is to cross the arms and place the hands on the upper arms (SEL high 19s). This also opens up the energy sites on the back (9 and 10) unknowingly and clears the chest area, as well as helping the digestive system in general. And finally, another helpful energy area is on the neck. Place the right hand on the right side of the neck next to the spine and the left hand on the left side of the neck next to the spine (SEL 12) - If something is in your throat, it will help treat it like never before...
For longterm 'work' on this 'project', there are many possible flows, but I would suggest The Trinity flows, The Trinity Flows: Main Central (I have covered), Left and Right Supervisors and Mediator (Crossing Energies) -These 2 energy flows I will touch again in detail soon. Also the stomach/spleen flow helps which I will cover again soon in details asap.
Great luck
Nick
