5 – Day Basic Seminar
The 5-Day Basic Seminar is for those who want to study and practice Jin Shin Jyutsu and to apply the Art on themselves and others, being the testimony of this simple, profound Art of Living, made known to us by Mary Burmeister and Jiro Murai.
Each seminar consists of two parts:
Part 1, the foundation, introduces the dynamic qualities of the 26 Safety Energy Locks, the Trinity Flows, the concepts of Depths within the body, and the Physio-Philosophy of Jin Shin Jyutsu. Interspersed with lecture are ample periods of hands-on application.
Part 2 (prerequisite: part 1 ) introduces the 12 organ flows, listening to pulses, the Special Body Flows and how these contribute to harmonizing body, mind and spirit.

Special Topic Classes
The Special Topic Classes (STC) give the opportunity to look at a specific Jin Shin Jyutsu subject in a more detailed and profound way. It offers a chance to study and amplify relationships among the many aspects of Jin Shin Jyutsu, with more interaction between the students and the instructor. The classes address a variety of topics presented by our faculty who bring their individual awareness to bear with smaller groups worldwide, with a flexible format which can vary in size, number of days and subject matter, e.g., Pulses, Body Reading, The Depths, The Methods of Correction, Organ Flows, etc.
Prerequisite (unless otherwise stated) is attendance of at least one 5-Day Basic Seminar.

Self Help Class
Where do I put my hands, in order to relax and to promote harmony for body, mind and spirit? A Self Help Class teaches the basic hand positions to help relief tension and stress, to harmonize physical and emotional pain.
These classes work with the three Self Help Books of Mary Burmeister.

Extented Five Day Class
This class offers an in-depth study of the 5-Day class material over an extended period of time. This new format will focus on the study of Text 1 and Text 2, five times a year, three days at a time, for a total of fifteen days.
The Physio-Philosophy, Physio-Psychology and Physio-Physiology of Jin Shin Jyutsu will be explored with an emphasis on how to practice and BE this Art, and how to bring this awareness into our practice with hands-on sessions.
Being together as a group five times in a period of at least five months, will allow us to bring a new depth of understanding into our practice and give us more time for inner experience and sharing with each other. We will spend time with the flows to discuss and feel the movement of energy through the body and explore the jumper cable energy.
We will have time to refine our way of touching in the state of Being rather than doing. Body reading and pulse listening will be part of the class.
In addition, flows which are not in the Texts will be presented and practiced (e.g., the Sinus Flow, Special Immune System Flow, the Regeneration Flow, Special Diabetes Flow, amongst others).
Prerequisite: a minimum of five 5-Day classes. Each student signs up for all five classes.

Living The Art Class
Mary Burmeister said that in "the awareness of the moment (the breath), one's present state of being will become an Art of LIVING." The purpose of this seminar is to bring us into this awareness through a detailed exploration of Mary's three Self-Help Books and through practicing the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help. This seminar differs from the Self-Help Class in that the meanings of Mary's words and numbers in the books are presented at a deeper level, creating a bridge of information with Texts 1 and 2 from the 5-Day Basic Seminar.
With this background, students are better prepared to study, practice and perhaps teach Self-Help. Time is allotted for discussion and refinement of communication skills on selected Jin Shin Jyutsu Self-Help topics.
Prerequisite: Completion of the three 5-Day Basic Seminars.

Now Know Myself
The purpose of the Now Know Myself Seminar (NKM) is to further examine the wealth of information in Texts 1 and 2 and offer some new material.
This seminar is co-presented by a panel of instructors, whose number will be determined by the number of students enrolled. Participants experience hands-on daily, both as practitioners and receivers. The primary objective is to enrich each individual's understanding of the why's and how to's of this beautiful Art with emphasis on the unique concerns of practitioners.
It is an opportunity to develop Jin Shin Jyutsu concepts and practice in a very profound way. The Now Know Myself seminar complements the fundamental training for anyone aspiring to become a capable Jin Shin Jyutsu® Student Practitioner.
Prerequisites: Three of the 5-Day Basic Seminars.
