Image MESMERISM
A technique developed by Franz Mesmer and associated with hypnotism, hallucination and trances that are thought to produce or signify an altered state of consciousness. Mesmer's original idea was that through the manipulation of the magnetic forces of celestial objects, a power, knowledge, and higher level of being could be attained. This idea was developed further, through the ages, to include a state that allowed one to communicate with the spiritual realm, a state that could induce the re-tuning of one's body and mind, along with many other claims of well-being, paranormal power and superiority.
