Book Description
The Touch of Healing offers readers the means to
greater health, vitality, and self-understanding through
the practice of an ancient oriental healing art and
practical holistic philosophy called Jin Shin Jystsu.
Gentle touching similar to acupressure is used to release
tension that accumulates and is at the root of
dysfunction, disease, and imbalance. The authors explain
the natural life force that runs through the body and
demonstrate with case studies, detailed analysis, and
more than 30 illustrations, how to integrate this system
into one's life. The key healing points and body flows,
known as "Safety Energy Locks," are presented
with step-by-step instructions on how to utilize them for
healing and greater self-awareness. Many self-help
practices are also offered that address a wide array of
common ailments, including headaches, digestive
disorders, fatigue, depression, and arthritis along with
prescriptive exercises for relief of emotional ailments
such as loss of confidence, anxiety, and depression.

Easiest self help ever!, June 23, 1999
Reviewer: peachy@redshift.com
from monterey, california
My first experience using this book for self help was
when I was feeling so nauseated and wiped out during
menses that I could hardly walk across the room. I lay in
bed with a hot water bottle and started doing the Main
Central and Supervisor/Mediator - the Trinity flows (pages
45-54). An hour or so later I got up and felt absolutely
fine! I thought - this is magic! To think I could just
feel better by placing my hands on different locations of
my body and holding them there, that I would harmonize my
body and feel better - no effort, no machines, nothing
extra, just me and this little book. Truly portable! I
have since used this regularly for long distance highway
driving, just doing it at a rest stop to re-energize me.
Also in the book are general daily sequences (page 133) I
have done while doing my laundry in the laundromat -
"doing these in succession is an especially good way
to deal with almost all of the various stresses we
regularly confront in modern life." I have to agree.
There is so much useful information in the book it seems
overwhelming at first, but as I have explored it little
by little, it always amazes me that even when I do it
when I feel good, I feel even better! And when I have
been feeling awful, that it helps so much! There is even
a quickie "first aid" listing in the back of
the book.. I used the left hand over right hand to keep a
toenail on that I had mashed into some furniture.. also I
find when I really would like to feel better, I just hold
my fingers. The thing that is so wonderful about this
book is this is a gold mine of information about self
help that you can do anywhere, at meetings, waiting for
the bus, in bed, anywhere. This self help will aid anyone
anywhere, whether they are sick or healthy or somewhere
in between. I went on to take the five day basic class in
Jin Shin Jyutsu (info on this is also in the book)yet I
still refer back to this book as it is a great learning
tool. There are great little stories in here too to help
you remember what's what. Try it. It's the best thing you
could possibly buy to enrich your health and your life (and
everyone's around you too!)

Excellent
presentation of a complex art
from jburger@ncweb.com from Cleveland, Ohio , 23
March, 1999
In seeking supplemental therapy for my infant son, I came
across Jin Shin Jyutsu. This volume presents so much
valuable info that it makes your head swim. Mary
Burmeister is quoted in the book as saying " If you
are confused, then you are beginning to understand."
Simple finger holds and energy release points are shown.
Many examples of uses for the therapy are included. My
son has cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder. One of the
signs of an approaching seizure is flushed cheeks. Both
my wife and I applied a simple hold on his index finger,
and the flushed color left his cheeks, and he avoided a
seizure. If this is the only result from this book, it is
worth 10 times the cost.
An Alternative to
painful and many times useless therapy
A reader from US , 26 October, 1998
I found Mary Burmeister's teachings of Jin Shin
enlightening. The books can teach you easy pratical holds
that you can do on yourself to reduce tension, stress and
other problems. The simple holds I performed on myselft
were so effective that I sought out a practisioner of Jin
Shin who has been so effective in helping me with back
pain from a long ago accident to the point I have been
able to return to work
