FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
How can I learn Self-Help?
We highly recommend that all Jin Shin Jyutsu students attend at least one Self-Help class held by qualified Self-Help teachers. These Self-Help classes are based on Mary Burmeister’s Self-Help Books 1, 2 and 3. During this class, we study fundamental principles of Physio-Philosophy and how to apply the Art to ourselves and those in our lives. This class is a suitable preparation for the 5-day basic seminar.

How does a Jin Shin Jyutsu session proceed?
A Jin Shin Jyutsu session generally lasts about an hour. It does not involve massage, manipulation of muscles, or use of drugs or substances. It is a gentle art, practised by placing the fingertips (over clothing) on designated safety energy locks, to harmonise and restore the energy flow. This facilitates the reduction of tension and stress which accumulate through normal daily living.
Is there anything I need to do ahead of time before receiving a Jin Shin Jyutsu session?
We suggest wearing comfortable clothing, and if you eat before a session to have a lighter meal than usual.
Is there anything I need to consider after receiving a Jin Shin Jyutsu session?
We recommend to allow extra time for a repose period, since the session is continuing to have an effect for approx. 8 hours. Of course you can also fully dive into live after the session, with the understanding that it feels okay for you. On the whole there is no „must“ and no rules and regulations at Jin Shin Jyutsu.
What do I have to pay for a Jin Shin Jyutsu session?
The fees tend to vary from city to city, and from one practitioner to another. Factors such as costs for continuing eduction, local cost of living, expenses for an office, and the extra expense of making house calls can all influence a student practitioner’s fee. Generally costs of 40 € to 80 € will be charged.
Can I also receive a session when I am fine and have no sypmptoms?
Any session is harmonizing the entirety of body, spirit and soul – even if you’re doing well, it’s a good investment in your well-being and health. A daily Self-Help routine is helping too. After a session you will receive a personal Self-Help routine from your practitioner.

How can I learn Jin Shin Jyutsu to be able to work on a professional basis?
First of all, we encourage you to use your jumper cables with friends and family members from the beginning.
To qualify as an authorized practitioner in Europe, is to complete three 5-Day Basic Seminars and earn the certificate of attendance and to agree to the Jin Shin Jyutsu Code of Ethics.
We encourage new students on the first pathway not to hurry through the process of completing their first three classes. Generally, a period of approximately eighteen months is the minimum suggested amount of time recommended to complete the first three 5-Day Basic Seminars.
We encourage ongoing attendance at our classes for all practitioners, recognizing the need for continuing study as one begins and maintains a professional practice.
