Magnetism
Updated: Sep 25
According to the energetic vision, everything in the universe is energy, from the microcosm to the macrocosm. Magnetism, also called 'vital energy' or 'Prana' or 'Qi', is an energy of coherence that is invisible and omnipresent.
Throughout different eras and civilizations on Earth, this energy was used and named differently. In India it was called 'Prana', in China 'Qi', in Egypt 'Ka', in Japan 'Ki', and 'Rûah' was used in Hebrew. Some call vital energy 'healing energy' while others refer to it as 'divine energy'.
The word 'Prana' comes from Sanskrit meaning 'absolute energy'. Everything that exists comes from Prana but vibrates at different frequencies. A stone, a plant, a human being, the air, the light,... everything would be Prana or Qi, vibrating at different frequencies. Thoughts and light, for example, vibrate at much higher and therefore more subtle (less dense) frequencies than our physical body, which in turn is made of 'Prana' or 'Qi' that vibrates at a lower frequency and thus consists of dense energy, of visible matter.
Magnetism or vital energy flows within us and all around us. The human being can be seen as a channel that forms a bridge between Heaven and Earth. Chakras act as intermediaries and transformers of this vital energy. Located in the subtle bodies, the chakras capture, transform, and transfer vital energy to the physical body. The three lower chakras mainly absorb telluric energy from the Earth, while the three upper chakras mainly absorb cosmic energy from the cosmos. Humans thus unite both energies (telluric and cosmic), which merge at the heart chakra to form a specific vital energy that then flows through the entire body via the meridians and nadis. At the level of the endocrine glands and nerve plexuses, this subtle energy would be translated into hormonal and neurological signals. This vital energy is said to be essential for the homeostasis and the maintenance of the physical body's structure and order.
Vital energy has not yet been scientifically proven, although several experiments have been conducted in laboratories, notably those by biologist Bernard Grad with healer Oskar Estebany, where the effect of laying on of hands on seed growth and water was observed. These experiments inspired the idea that this vital energy might be magnetic and negatively entropic in nature. An energy that is negative entropic means an energy that leads to greater order, greater coherence (negative entropy or negentropy refers to the ability to create order out of chaos).
Everyone can magnetize and develop this innate ability. Magnetism is therefore not a gift. This magnetic fluid can be transferred from one person to another. When a magnetizer magnetizes, they act as a channel to capture vital energy and then transfer it to the client.
There are several techniques in magnetism, often used in combination. Magnetic strokes (les passes magnétiques), scraping to remove old, heavy energy (le grattage), laying on of hands (l'imposition des mains) and energy blocking (le barrage) are the most common. The most universal technique is the laying on of hands; a technique where vital energy is captured by the magnetizer and then transmitted through the minor chakras of the magnetizer's palms to the client. Magnetism is said to stimulate the body's self-healing ability.
Magnetism mainly affects the physical body and the etheric body. The etheric body is the densest subtle body that overlaps the physical body and surrounds it up to 2 to 5 cm from the surface of the physical body and contains the meridians and nadis. The etheric body is made of matter that vibrates at a higher frequency than the physical matter that makes up the physical body, and is therefore called subtle matter or energy. It is the energetic matrix of the physical body that feeds it with vital energy and determines the structure of the physical body. Energy imbalances in this subtle body can eventually manifest as illnesses or conditions in the physical body. The role of the healer is to rebalance the flow of this vital energy in the physical and etheric body.
Magnetism can relieve pathologies such as inflammatory pain (cervicalgia, lumbago, sciatica, cruralgia, sprain, tendinitis, etc.), skin pathologies (warts, eczema, psoriasis, shingles, herpes, acne,...), burns (in this case we speak of 'cutting the fire') as well as chronic pathologies (asthma, fibromyalgia, venous insufficiency, migraine,... ) and emotional pathologies (depression, anxiety and sleep disorders).
