Theories professing to explain magnetism are numerous and opinions divided. Some practitioners attribute their powers of healing to cosmic forces and to telluric magnetic currents. Others refer to the divine source of life. The success of a hypnotist comes from an inherent wish to provide relief and cure - the hypnotist is a therapist who puts a gift into action to help individuals open to this. The human body, which is a very good conductor of electricity, is capable of “connecting” to cosmic and telluric powers.
