Jin Shin Jyutsu & The Mudras of Inner Harmony

A gentle yet powerful 60-minute class to restore energetic flow, emotional balance, and inner harmony through the wisdom held in your hands.

This free session is a meditative practice rooted in Jin Shin Jyutsu, designed to support your nervous system, clear emotional stagnation, and deepen your felt connection to the subtle body. It is a space to return to yourself through stillness, breath, and sacred touch.

In this session, you’ll receive:

☉ A full introduction to the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient Japanese healing system for energetic and emotional harmony
☉ A guided jumper cable (mudra) sequence, holding each finger to harmonize its corresponding emotional attitude and organ system
☉ Teachings on the Five Depths and the emotional patterns they govern—Worry, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Pretense—paired with their energetic antidotes
☉ A poetic exploration of how the hands serve as conduits for spiritual awareness, nervous system regulation, and inner alchemy
☉ Insight into the interplay between nerves, hormones, and energy flows, grounded in somatic awareness and sacred anatomy

I. Introduction to Jin Shin Jyutsu

Translation:
“The Art of the Creator through the person of compassion.”

Purpose of the Practice:

• Harmonize the energy flows in the body

• Support the endocrine and nervous systems

• Cultivate balance, vitality, and overall health.
  
  

II. Origins of Jin Shin Jyutsu

• Brought to the West by Mary Burmeister, student of Jiro Murai

• Rooted in ancient Japanese energy medicine

• A quote from Mary Burmeister:

“Through Jin Shin Jyutsu, our awareness is awakened to the simple fact that all that is needed for harmony and balance with the universe—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—is within myself..."

III. Jumper Cabling the Fingers (Mudras)

What It Is:

• Lightly holding the fingers, like jumper cables for the body
  Simple, effective energy practice that can be done anywhere

Why We Do It:

• Works with emotional patterns (the attitudes) that cause energetic stagnation
  
  

• Supports both subtle and physiological transformation
  
  

IV. Benefits of Jumper Cabling (Mudras)

• Can be practiced anytime, anywhere

• Calms the nervous system and attunes you to your breath

• Awakens inner vision, sensation, and subtle awareness

• Deepens the connection between the material and metaphysical

• It provides insight into how gross anatomy and subtle energy interact.
  
  

• V. Physiological Mechanics

• Nerves in the fingertips connect to spinal nerve plexuses and ganglia.
  These affect organs through the nervous and endocrine systems

• The endocrine system releases hormones that affect emotion, perception, and behavior

• Organ energy flows begin and end in the fingers and toes, so holding digits can influence entire bodily systems
  
  

VI. The Five Depths & Emotional Attitudes

Overview:

• There are 9 depths total, like layers of being, similar to the chakras
