positive mesmerism

Positive mesmerism is a type of non-verbal communication of human power upon the human organism by a well-intentioned person powerfully exerting his will. The means by which the power is communicated is called passes. Positive mesmerism is characterized by influx of more or less vital force into the patient by positive pass. Positive pass consists of a single pass made, without much exertion of will, with the palms of the hands not too slowly from the top of the head downwards over the body to the tips of the toes.

Positive mesmerism can be used for various purposes, such as treating uterine hemorrhage, rush of blood to the head, sleepless, anxious restlessness of weakly persons, or when an internal chronic dyscrasia has transferred its important local symptoms.

The process of positive mesmerism can be summarized as follows:

1. The mesmerist and the patient should be in a comfortable and quiet environment, free from distractions and noise.
2. The mesmerist should establish eye contact with the patient and induce a state of trance using gaze, fascination, or other methods.
3. The mesmerist should place his palms on the patient’s head and gently stroke downwards over the body to the tips of the toes, repeating this motion several times.
4. The mesmerist should focus his will and intention on transferring vital force to the patient and restoring harmony in the patient’s organism.
5. The mesmerist should observe the patient’s reactions and adjust his passes accordingly. Some signs of positive mesmerism are warmth, tingling, relaxation, calmness, or somnambulism in the patient.
6. The mesmerist should end the session by making a few upward passes from the toes to the head, breaking eye contact, and gently waking up the patient.
