Jin Shin Jyutsu is a Japanese manual practice codified by Master Jiro Murai in 1942. Using gentle, non-invasive hand placements, it harmonizes the body’s natural energy flows-Ki Eki (vital nerve energy) and Tai Eki (body fluids)-to restore balance and support overall well-being.

Rather than only addressing symptoms, Jin Shin Jyutsu works with the body’s innate energies to relieve fatigue, stress, and disruptions from mental, emotional, or physical factors. By guiding Ki Eki through the 12 Tai Eki (12 Organ Flow) circulations, the practice helps the body naturally restore harmony and maintain optimal functioning.

In this interactive, image-rich, comprehensive reference, teacher, researcher, and author Maria Miniello integrates primary source material with contemporary anatomical and physiological insights to explore the practical application and effects of Jin Shin Jyutsu. She reimagines and weaves together these two knowledge systems to present the material in a way that feels both authentic and fresh for a new generation.

Beginning with a solid foundation-understanding the name and reconnecting with the breath-this book unfolds the story of Jin Shin Jyutsu, revealing its many facets.
