5. Everything is Energy
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we
have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been
so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is
no matter.” - Albert Einstein
Cycle of life is energy densing down into matter, then
lightening up to return to source.
At birth, human heart beats at the same Hz as the earth
= most healing state. Heartmath.com
We are energetic envelopes of body, mind, spirit.

Avid interest in philosophy, Jiro read of ancient wisdom
accessing innate ability of the body to heal itself by using
the hands as jumper cables to balance life energy.
Be Well & Wise & Energized! www.bewellandwise.com
17. Jiro’s Story
Cleared his own life-threatening illness by holding finger
positions called mudras.
Devoted his life to researching and developing JSJ.
Taught Mary Burmeister, who brought it to the U.S. in
1950’s. Today JSJ is practiced around the world.
“We need never know fatigue. Energy can never tire. It is our
personal imbalance that causes fatigue. When our 26 ‘Safety Energy
Locks’ are unlocked, we are in a state of ecstasy. We have our two
hands as rejuvenators and harmonizers.” Mary Burmeister
Be Well & Wise & Energized! www.bewellandwise.com
18. What is Jin Shin Jyutsu®?
The words translate = the Art of the Creator through

21. Basic Principles & Terminology
Life is the continuous movement of energy
Health is balanced and harmonious flow of energy
Energy flows in rivers called meridians
Meridians get blocked by attitudes
Attitudes = stuck emotions
Fear is the core of all attitudes
Be Well & Wise & Energized! www.bewellandwise.com
22. Basic Principles cont…
Attitudes block the flow of energy.
Over time, blocked energy can create a “project”
diagnosed with a “label.”
Safety Energy Locks are main intersections of energy, like
circuit breakers.
Gentle touch with hands on safety energy locks moves
stuck energy.
Be Well & Wise & Energized! www.bewellandwise.com
23. How is JSJ Applied?
“When aware of stress or tension causing ‘attitudes,’ relax as
much as possible in a comfortable position. Sitting, standing or
lying down are all effective.” Mary Burmeister
JSJ is an Art, not a technique, there is no right way to move
energy.
Gentle touch acts as jumper cables. No pressure required
