If there was any way her infant daughter could avoid surgery for the hole in her heart, Rosetta Falchier was willing to try it. Even if it was an obscure, unproven healing method.
When her daughter Jacqueline was only six weeks old, Falchier took her to be treated with Jin Shin Jyutsu, a form of hands-on healing therapy. The therapy, which literally means "art of the creator through compassionate man", involves gently touching pathways on the body to stimulate the flow of healing energy.
Jin Shin Jyutsu was developed in the early 20th century in Japan by Jiro Murai, who allegedly discovered its techniques to heal himself of a terminal illness, then found the "key" to these methods in an ancient Japanese text, the Kojiki, or "Record of Ancient Things."

Coming to America
Mary Burmeister, a Japanese-American who studied with Murai in the late 1940s, brought this healing art to the U.S. and has taught it to others through her Arizona-based institute, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Inc.
"We look at illness as a stuck energy or congestion in the body," explained David Burmeister, Mary Burmeister's son and the current president of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Inc. "By allowing circulation at an optimal level in the body, the body has the ability to stay well, overcome illness and rejuvenate itself."
