The Jin Shin System: A Foundational Energetic System
The Jin Shin system is a foundational aspect of the human energy system, responsible for around 70% of its underlying energetic foundation. It plays a critical role in manifesting the body’s form and regulating its energy, which is why it's essential for overall health and well-being. This complex system consists of five key elements: pathways, nodes (called “safety energy locks” in traditional Jin Shin teachings), energetic "depths," special interfacing pathways, and an intelligence field.
What Is the Jin Shin System?
At its core, the Jin Shin system is an intricate network of energy pathways and nodes that facilitate the flow of life energy throughout the body. It was discovered in ancient Japan and later recovered by Master Jiro Murai in the early 20th century. His student, Mary Burmeister, brought it to the United States, and it became known as Jin Shin Jyutsu, meaning "Art of the Creator through knowing and compassionate man."
The Jin Shin system is often compared to acupuncture's meridian pathways, but it operates on a different level. Where acupuncture regulates the manifest physical system, Jin Shin works on the manifesting energy system—essentially the underlying blueprint that informs the body’s creation and maintenance.
The Structure and Function of the Jin Shin System
Energetic Depths: The Jin Shin system is layered into various energetic depths, each associated with specific organs and tissues. For example:
1st depth: Stomach & spleen (skin surface)
2nd depth: Lung & large intestine (deep skin)
3rd depth: Liver & gallbladder (blood)
4th depth: Kidney & bladder (muscle)
5th depth: Heart & small intestine (skeletal system) These depths serve to organize how energy moves through the body and influence physical and emotional health.
Pathways and Nodes: The pathways in this system connect the body’s energy network, while the nodes act as energetic intersections. Unlike acupuncture points, Jin Shin nodes are areas about 3 inches in diameter that regulate energy flow. There are also trillions of micro-nodes within this system, and blockages at these points can hinder energy flow, impacting both the energy body and the physical body.
The Jin Shin Intelligence Field: This is the intelligent field that arises from the merged intelligence fields of the parents at conception. It plays a significant role in genetic expression, affecting constitutional strengths and weaknesses.
Interfacing Pathways: These pathways help bridge the Jin Shin system into the manifested physical system. As a person ages, these pathways may become blocked, affecting the overall flow of energy.
How the Jin Shin System Impacts Health
The Jin Shin system, being a manifesting system, directly influences how the body forms and functions over time. It plays a vital role in both genetic expression and long-term health. For instance, inherited weaknesses from the parents' systems can lead to chronic issues later in life. However, because this system operates on a deeper level than other energy systems (such as meridians), it is less affected by daily stress. When blockages or weaknesses are cleared, they often remain cleared for long periods unless affected by significant trauma.
Interestingly, while the Jin Shin system is more resistant to everyday stressors, it is still susceptible to inherited patterns and deep-seated conditioning, which accumulate over a lifetime. This conditioning can impact how energy flows through the body, leading to physical or emotional imbalances.
Jin Shin System and VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing
While traditional Jin Shin Jyutsu works on the more surface levels of the Jin Shin system, VortexHealing® offers a deeper approach, progressively accessing deeper layers of this system. In particular, at the VortexHealing® level of Manifesting Intention, practitioners can work directly with the core of the Jin Shin system, something that traditional techniques cannot reach.
In VortexHealing®, the Jin Shin system is recognized not just as a manifesting system but as an integral part of how energy, consciousness, and physical form interact. Clearing the pathways and nodes within this system using VortexHealing® tools can have a profound impact on physical, emotional, and energetic health.
Conclusion
The Jin Shin system is a vital part of the human energy structure, influencing everything from genetic expression to overall vitality. While traditional Jin Shin Jyutsu provides a valuable method for harmonizing energy at the surface levels, advanced techniques like VortexHealing can access deeper layers of this system, offering more comprehensive healing and transformation.
By understanding and working with the Jin Shin system, we can address both inherited patterns and blockages that have developed over time, leading to more balanced and vibrant health.
How a Session Works
In a session that focuses on the Jin Shin System, I first check for any blocked Jin Shin nodes micro-nodes, and sub-nodes (energy locks) and address and clear any stagnation there. I then channel VortexHealing® energy to work with the energy pathways governed by the Jin Shin System. The Divine Energy and Intelligence that governs VortexHealing® helps release energetic blockages, harmonizes the flow of energy, and supports overall balance. The combination of VortexHealing® and the Jin Shin System enhances the body’s natural healing capacity, allowing for deep release and transformation. After the Jin Shin System has been worked on deeply I then bridge that change into the rest of the energy system, bridging the shift into the physical body at a cellular level.
