Learning Pathways to Explore the Art
The Approach
Our courses are designed to place you, the student, at the center of the experience, creating a personalized, hands-on, and immersive learning environment.
The Jin Shin Guild study path is structured into three progressive phases, each offering a deep dive into the Art of Jin Shin. With a strong emphasis on direct experience and body awareness, you will be guided to practice the Art on yourself and others from the very beginning, allowing you to develop a profound connection with the body's energy and its natural ability to harmonize.
Our commitment goes beyond the classroom. After each course, we offer ongoing online support, providing a space where you can ask questions, share experiences, and refine your practice with guidance from experienced instructors. This ensures that you continue to grow at your own pace while remaining connected to a supportive learning community.
Additionally, we offer specialized themed classes that focus on specific aspects of Jin Shin, allowing you to deepen your understanding and refine your practice.
The Learning Curriculum
Our structured learning path is designed to build a strong foundation in the Art of Jin Shin while progressively deepening your understanding and practice. Through three immersive 4-day courses, you will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, ensuring a comprehensive and practical approach to learning.
Whether you are just beginning your journey or seeking to deepen your existing practice, this curriculum provides the tools, guidance, and community support to integrate Jin Shin into your daily life and practice.
Phase 1: Introduction to the Art of Jin Shin
This four-day foundational course introduces you to the core principles of Jin Shin and how it restores energy balance through simple yet powerful sequences.
You'll be introduced to the essential principles of Jin Shin and guided in their application, so that you can immediately start practicing on yourself and others; to integrate Jin Shin into your daily life. This course will equip you with practical tools to promote your own health and well-being, and support you in helping others to lead happy, healthy lives.
This course lays the groundwork for your Jin Shin journey, empowering you with essential practices that you can apply right away.
Phase 2: The Energetic Level
Building upon the foundation of Phase 1, this course deepens your understanding of universal energy principles and the 26 personal energy centers.
The focus explores subtle energy levels and the causes of imbalance. Using sequences developed by Jiro Murai, you'll learn how to restore harmony to the body's energy circulation pathways. This enables you to go beyond symptoms and to harmonize energetic origins of physical and emotional discomfort.
This phase allows you to refine your sensitivity to energy, strengthening your ability to harmonize and restore balance at a deeper level.
Phase 3: The Physical Level
This third phase is devoted to the study and application of sequences that relate directly to the physical body and its physiological functions.
You'll learn how the practice of the Art interacts directly with the body's functions, and how Jin Shin can be used to restore physical balance and vitality. This will add to and reinforce your practical knowledge, allowing you to enhance your own physical well-being and to support others.
By the end of this phase, you will have a solid understanding of how Jin Shin works on all levels allowing you to confidently support yourself and others in their well-being journey.
