In this chapter I describe the origins and development of Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), a healing art developed by Jiro Murai in Japan in the 20th century and then disseminated worldwide, largely due to the seminal practices of Mary Burmeister and colleagues headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. I provided some of the basic tenets of JSJ and illustrate how it can be used by trained practitioners to address health projects and as a self-help tool. I illustrate how JSJ can complement Western medicine, including major surgery, in four case studies associated with my practices with: abandoned orphans in Malaysia; Australians labeled as HIV-positive; a family member who developed leukemia; and a woman who experienced a surgical error during a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. I describe roles of JSJ practitioners in terms of the metaphor “jumper cable” and emphasize that changes in health are up to the receiver.
