The unity of mind and body is one of the
cornerstones of ancient Oriental medical science. Traditional Oriental
medicine recognizes the collaboration of mind and body to promote healing.
Jin Shin Acutouch is a very specialized form of Oriental medicine which
evolved in the ancient temples of Tibet, China, and Japan. Ancient physicians, through
generations of observation, discovered that a system of pathways feed the
basic life energy (Chi) in all cells. These pathways, called meridians,
integrate and connect the organs and systems of the body.
In the early 1900's, Master Jiro Murai rediscovered the ancient system of Jin
Shin Jyutsu in Japan while in search of healing for
his own terminal illness.
In the 1940's Mary Burmeister met and studied with Master Murai, later
bringing the healing art to America.
Barbara Clark, author of Jin Shin Acutouch, the Tai Chi of Healing Touch,
combined Oriental healing theories with Jin Shin Jyutsu to form what is now
known as Jin Shin Acutouch.
Today, modern science and new research are helping us understand the
essential nature of the flow of Chi, as ancient principles are integrated
with Holistic healing therapies. Jin Shin Acutouch combines the healing arts
of Oriental medicine, including Five Element Theory, Taoist Yoga, Chi Kung,
Breath Therapy, principles of Tai Chi Chuan, with nutrition and herb therapy
for a complete system of healing.
