Wow, what a fantastic evening at our group tonight! We brought back to life the age-old technique of mesmerism for trance healing. This is such a powerful approach to work with;
(but under no circumstances must it be used without a full knowledge and understanding of the whole process and how energy works - preferably with an experienced teacher!).
The concept began with mesmerizing itself, which was discovered in its famous form by Franz Anton Mesmer, a well-known Hypnotist in the 1700's. It spread across the world over the next 100 years and during that time a pioneering figure in the Spiritualism Movement also discovered it in 1843 in a small town near Orange County, New York. His name was Andrew Jackson Davis.
He discovered the rare ability to be able to go into a trance-like state through being mesmerized by a qualified physician. Whilst in this altered state, he was able to diagnose, suggest treatments and sometimes heal his 'clients', he named this state of being 'the Superior Condition' (DeSalvo 2005).
It was this condition that we were 'experimenting with yesterday evening (working in pairs) in our group with the techniques that were used all those years ago. It proved to be a very powerful evening indeed and the energy that was created was channeled into healing, a form of trance healing. Every student who attended was able to both mesmerize their partner and in turn, be mesmerized to feel the experience for themselves. All involved said that their encounter was amazing and really meaningful experience.
Once again thank you to all our wonderful students for an exceptional evening xx
