Animal Magnetism

I was recently informed that I am in possesion of the remarkable ability to understand and channel Qi energy because I had managed to overcome the the power of the Qi enhancing magnetic shoe insoles. Apparently Qi can be enhanced by the means of wearing the aforementioned insoles which somehow realign energy imbalances in the body.

The fellow who came to demonstrate this remarkable discovery to me claimed that these insoles had enabled him to start training again after he had been incapacitated for many years. He was very keen to demonstrate the amazing power of these magnetic insoles.

I had never heard of this before but being of an enquiring mind I decided to investigate further. To my surprise I discovered that there was a huge market in magnetic products and unsurprisingly the cost seemed to be inversely proportional to the efficacy.

Eventually I discovered a lone voice of reason ,Quackwatch, who revealed the true scientific basis for this burgeoning industry. I have no idea whether Magnetic Therapy works, but then again neither does anybody else. It is easy to make claims about the properties of things about which we have little understanding. Everybody "knows" that magnets can cause action at a distance, we have all seen it happen.

It doesn't take much of a leap to associate this invisible action at a distance with the Qi empty force concept of action at a distance. Similarly it is easy to associate the invisible meridians with the invisible lines of the magnetic field generated by magnets. The only difference is that with a magnet it is possible for everybody and their dog to display the magnetic field by the simple application of iron filing whereas with Qi only a few highly trained individuals can detect this but are still unable to demonstrate any scientifically verifiable phenomena.

However this does not stop some people blinding others with pseudo-science - below is an example of such a case.

What, if any, energies are channelled in Qi-Magnetic Therapeutics?
Q-MT is not a 'channelled energy'-centred modality per se. In certain specific situations (e.g. where there is a perceived deficit), subtle energy may be directed (in)to the client, however, the core practice of this therapeutic discipline involves the implementation of a learned set of intervention strategies - a series of therapeutically-manipulative interactions with the client's field-of-force - to facilitate the re-balancing of the client's vibrational frequencies by modulating or re-patterning existing energetic 'undercurrents' within the client, rather than by means of the channelling of energies to them - as it has been somewhat poetically described: " ...not so much a case of adding water to the lake, as sending ripples out throughout it..."

Is Qi-Magnetic Therapeutics an ancient form of healing?
Q-MT is a Therapeutic & Transformational Discipline of relatively recent origin, it's initial formulation stemming from the mid 1990's. It does not profess to be an 'ancient system - recently rediscovered' or anything of this nature. However, Q-MT acknowledges that it has (as is the case with nearly all other modern systems of therapeutic intervention) been profoundly influenced by certain antecedent modalities, and likewise shares particular commonalities with other current therapeutic disciplines. The choice of the name 'Qi-Magnetic Therapeutics' was a carefully considered one, intentionally acknowledging and honouring two primary 'streams' of influencing antecedents: the highly evolved and complex Oriental energetic-healing disciplines of Taoist Qi-Gung on the one hand, and the Occidental traditions of the 'Magnetic Healers' (also referred to as 'animal-magnetisers') on the other. From these and other diverse sources, positive influences and inspirations have been drawn, and, in conjunction with pertinent methodologies and techniques - as well as independently evolved practices - have been synergised into the structured, highly effective, yet elegantly simple modality that is Q-MT.

I am not saying that these things do not work merely that the effects they observe may be due to other factors which do not require an esoteric explanation that cannot be verified by modern scientific analysis.

In the meantime I shall attempt to rebalance my vibrational frequencies by modulating my energetic undercurrents.
