## 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.

Review: This Book Should Be in Every Household - I first learned about Jin Shin Jyutsu acupressure in the 1980s from a book called "Relax! with Self-Therap/Ease." It was from that basic book I learned I could cure a headache or backache by simply putting my fingers on some spots on my body. It worked like magic. It didn't seem to matter what the problem was, either; it always helped it or fixed it completely. Sadly, that great little book is now out of print, but Burmeister's "The Touch of Healing" is available to us, and it's much more thorough. Anyone can learn the moves in this powerful acupressure system with a little practice because the diagrams are so clear. The reader needs no previous training or talent for a self-treatment; all he or she needs is a couple free hands, some free time, and an open mind. I'd also say you need some curiosity about this healing art and a willingness to experiment on yourself until you find which moves work for you. Also, you need some patience because it often takes time for the body's energy system to balance and relieve the problem--sometimes hours, days, or even weeks. You can use it for first aid when an injury occurs, but it seems to work best when you set time aside each day to work on yourself over weeks. I do a 5 minute treatment before getting out of bed in the morning and again when I go to bed at night, which is enough for maintenance, but if I'm working on a big problem, 20 minutes each session needed. Jin Shin is the first thing I turn to, whether there is a specific problem or I'm just feeling out of sorts. It is so very useful for aches and pains, especially when one isn't sure what is causing them. We've found Jin Shin helpful for relieving seasonal allergy symptoms, headaches, itchy places, back pain, muscle strains, painful bruises, frozen shoulder, nausea, insomnia, travel exhaustion, dizziness, intestinal upset, emotional distress, on and on. It can be useful for bouts of insomnia, for example. Any time I can't sleep, I'll do a routine from this book, and I'll be out within 10-20 minutes instead of staring at the ceiling for a couple hours. One remarkable example I had was treating a girlfriend who was so exhausted and dizzy from overwork at her job that she couldn't get out of the car on a trip we took. After 20 minutes of "opposite fingers and toes" jumper-cabling (see p. 153), she was up and walking around in stores with me for hours like nothing had happened. Also, as our bodies age, they can cause us problems, and Jin Shin can be a useful tool for people who don't know where to turn for help. People suffering from hemorrhoids and prostate ache, for example, have found help with this acupressure system (see gall bladder meridian). Jin Shin can be done anywhere, anytime when you have a spare minute and a spare hand. What a marvelous help this is because you always have relief at your finger tips for yourself and your loved ones. The book has some theory about "depths" that isn't necessary to do the moves and can be skipped over. I have found that Jin Shin blends very well with Reiki. While I respect and value Reiki very much, I find at times that the results are not as specific or as speedy as I'd like. Jin Shin, however, using the body's own energies, often zeroes in on the problem area quickly. This book is divided up into useful chapters on theory of the Depths, internal organ meridians, the Safety Energy Locks (SELs), daily routines, first aid, etc. I found it helpful to tab certain chapters for quick reference. I have discovered through experimentation that often just the simple finger holds (see Chapter 2) can be very effective at clearing up problems without requiring further attention. The finger holds are deceptively powerful and so easy to do. I'll do those first when a problem arises or when I have a free minute during the day to ward off fatigue or aches. The price of the book is worth it just for the finger holds alone, even if you learn nothing else. Concepts like meridians and acupressure holds can confuse us Westerners at first. Also, the amount of information in the book can be a little intimidating in the beginning, but don't let that bother you. I learned to use the book as a reference source and slowly made inroads that way. I just pick a health issue to work on, look up the appropriate finger positions, do each position for a few minutes, and wait to see if I feel some improvement. If I don't get relief with one position, I try another. Learn to experiment. If you start feeling peaceful, it's working. I"d call this an intermediate-level book that a beginner could grow into with practice. This book shows the 26 Safety Energy Locks, but it doesn't have the 8 Strange Flows patterns, so you can't improvise your own treatment patterns. That's advanced training. But this book has more than enough to keep people busy learning and experimenting for a lifetime. Mary Burmeister's "Touch of Healing" is highly recommended. If you really take to it, you can consider taking a class through her organization.
Review: I had found the handholds online and had done them before and felt they do indeed help pretty much right almost immediately - This book can change your life. I am thankful to God that I finally got my hands on this book. It just came the other day. Ive read a couple of chapters and already did the 36 breaths and basic sel...strangely my body led me and it worked. I had found the handholds online and had done them before and felt they do indeed help pretty much right almost immediately. I have a chronic illness with several different issues. I am amazed that the sel provided me immediate help and that my body led me--what I mean is that I felt a tender sore feeling in the exact spot (sel) that would deal with some of the issues I had..I did hold one and it felt good to hold it then when done another place that was a (sel) I needed felt sore and tender same way so I held that---this all while in bed. I woke up and had immediate results. I tried to do the 36 breaths today and extra while out grocery shopping which usually is hard on me and drains me(I go to multiple stores)--I amazingly felt stronger and had a steady, calm, even -positive energy like I was 'flowing'. PS I forgot to mention that while in bed doing these sel I was releasing/letting go of some childhood trauma because it came up in my mind..this was helpful..but just so know once I forgave these people(people-older kids I as a young child didn't know but had witnessed doing something horrible I couldn't stop or help)--so I prayed for them and THAT took a huge heaviness off of me I had not known was there. This is a wealth of info..some of it kind of deep--yet really the whole thing is so simple and so right. Thank God for this book..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book for anyone interested in the energy healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu.
*by J***E on February 23, 2018*

I have studied numerous Japanese Martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kenjutsu, Tanto jutsu, and Hanbo jutsu) and healing arts (Shiatsu, and Reiki) over the last 55 years, but I had never heard of the Japanese healing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu until recently. Since I am a Reiki master I decided to learn more about Jin Shin Jyutsu and I purchased several books on the subject for a bargain price on Amazon. I just finished reading this excellent 183 page soft cover book (The touch of healing: Energizing body, mind and spirit with the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu by Alice Burmeister with Tom Monte) and found the information easy to understand and apply to myself and other people. I also think using Reiki techniques along with Jin Shin Jyutsu methods make a great combination because both are based upon the application Universal Life Energy healing principles. This book is organized into nine chapters covering the following material: The foundation of the art, the depths and attitudes, the trinity flows, safety energy locks, the organ flows, general daily sequences, harmonizing with the fingers and toes and first aid and on the spot healing. There is also an appendix and bibliography section. If you are seeking an interesting approach to energy healing you may want to check out this book. I found it to be a very informative text. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated Tai Chi, Qigong, and Yoga for seniors and the physically challenged).
