Some Magnetisers from the old school of Mesmer and also from the modern 'bioenergy schools' shake out their hands after they do passes. But not everybody does it. Johanna Arnold for example doesn't shake her hands, but instead she takes care of the energy flow through the poles.
There are two levels for this. Let's now elaborate on how to take care of the energy flow and cleansing the human system. This applies whether it is for self hypnosis, taking a shower, burning sage, flicking the hands, or self magnetism before sleep or any other form of protection...
In fact most often the operator 'feels' the subject
“I have often noticed a discomfort in particular body parts that guide me to where the blockage is in the subject”. Some people are just more intuitive then the others, I remember once Rick was talking to me in my lounge room and I had a backache he asked me how was my back as he could feel the discomfort in his lower back.”
But protection can also be bypassed: In various ‘Magical’ systems much emphasis is placed upon ‘Protection’ but In Magnetism as well as in ‘Taoism’ one is operating above such ‘division’ as is thought of as ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ and as it has often been stated, one is ‘entangled’. The vital key to so called ‘protection’ which is already evidenced as a form of ‘mental dichotomy’ is the ongoing labour at ones own ‘internal works’ and practices. Works that in fact gradually ‘erase’ the barrier; the dichotomy between subject and object. If properly performed the energy of both participants is ‘raised’ and ‘protection’ in my opinion becomes no longer an issue . During the session, the work upon the client should create the necessary ‘flow’ for their energies, and rebalancing will also occur.
I’m sure you all already know these facts, but I state them to make my own operating position clear . It is our ongoing self practices that will enable good results .
In fact, as far as physical transference is concerned it is only static (electricity) you can be as ritualistic as you want to be but the way you get rid of static is to wash with water. When Mesmer and co shook their hands it was not to flick anything away but to enhance their own energy field for more powerful transmission of the ethereal fluid.
As a magnetist once said: ”I do not believe that one can catch a disease by magnetising : if that were the case I should have every disease possible.”
