About Jin Shin Jyutsu
in Santa Fe with Dr. Uzi Broshi D.N.
What is Jin Shin Jyutsu?
Jin Shin Jyutsu is a gentle Japanese acupressure art, using no needles, no forceful pressure, no drugs. By placing still, light hands on specific points along the body, it restores the natural flow of energy that underlies physical comfort, emotional ease, and overall vitality.
Dr. Uzi Broshi, D.N., has practiced and taught Jin Shin Jyutsu since 1999. He is one of the few certified JSJ practitioners in Santa Fe and the surrounding region, and is also a licensed Naprapath, which means that in a single session, you receive both structural and energetic care. Dr. Broshi is the only practitioner in the U.S. who combines Jin Shin Jyutsu with naprapathy, and has pioneered this powerfully effective combined treatment method.
The name “Jin Shin Jyutsu” itself maps the philosophy. Jyutsu: Art. Shin: Creator. Jin: Person of Knowing and Compassion. Together, these combine to say "Art of the Creator through Person of Knowing and Compassion.”
Jin Shin Jyutsu History
Japanese master Jiro Murai rediscovered this ancient wisdom in 1912. Facing a terminal illness at age 26, he retreated alone to a family mountain cabin to fast and meditate. Over seven days he drifted in and out of consciousness, his body growing cold. On the seventh day the cold lifted. An intense heat moved through him, and when it subsided, he stood up well.
He devoted the remaining decades of his life to understanding what had happened and developing it into a teachable art. In the 1950s, Mary Burmeister, who had studied with Jiro Murai in Japan, brought Jin Shin Jyutsu to the United States. She taught for more than four decades, and it is through her lineage that this tradition is now offered here in Santa Fe.
“My professors said they’d never seen a grad student so calm and happy during the final writing phase of their dissertation! It was all thanks to my weekly Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions!”
How Jin Shin Jyutsu Works
Each session begins with a pulse reading at the wrists to assess the flow of energy in the body. The practitioner evaluates how the 72 energy pathways are interacting and identifies where support is needed.
Using light touch and still hand placements at key points on the body, Dr Broshi selects specific sequences to encourage smoother circulation of energy. These sessions are gentle, drug free, and do not involve painful manipulation or invasive techniques. The results from holistic Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment sessions are often profound and lasting.
Holistic Support for Wellness and Pain Relief
Jin Shin Jyutsu is often used to support the body’s natural systems. It may be beneficial for those seeking:
Pain Relief
Reduction of emotional tension and stress
Improved circulation and vitality
Gentle, noninvasive wellness practices
