Magnetic Healing Introduced to the West by Mesmer; in it the pranas or general vital powers of the healer are able to help, in many cases, a sufferer to throw off an ailment or disease by arousing the sufferer's own powers of resistance to vital inharmony or disease.

The success of magnetic healing arises from the fact that human or animal magnetism is a fluid, and hence an emanation flowing from the healer to the sufferer. The existence of such human or animal magnetism has now been established by the researches of a multitude of investigators during the last century or more.

All human beings have this magnetic fluid, but some natural-born healers have the instinctive power of projecting or emitting their own magnetism, which flows from different parts of the body, but especially from the tips of the fingers, the eyes, or the hands.

To animal magnetism likewise are to be ascribed the cause of the so-called antagonisms or repulsions, or again affinities and attractions, between human beings.

MANA

In Hawaiian, Mana-o means "to think", that is, to make use of mana, the elemental force of Nature. Kahunas heal and work magic through mana. That is why it is important in any healing process to understand fully what processes are involved. The higher and lower selves may do most of the work, but in special cases the conscious mind is able to exert its power as well and tip the scales to effect a perfect cure. So the more we understand of physiology, psychology, medicine, bacteriology, cells, chemistry and so on the better we are able to mana-o any illness or morbidity. The microscope and the magician's rattle serve equally.

Apollonius of Tyana First-century neo-Pythagorean, known for his ascetic life, moral teachings, and occult powers. His biography is a Hermetic allegory, though based on facts. A theurgist and adept of high powers, he studied Phoenician sciences as well as Pythagorean philosophy.

He traveled widely, journeying to Babylon and India where he associated with the Chaldeans, Magi, Brahmans, and Buddhists. His life was spent preaching noble ethics, prophesying, healing, and performing many well-attested phenomena or "miracles." Before his death he opened an esoteric school at Ephesus. Blavatsky holds that he was a nirmanakaya rather than an avatara. (BCW; TG; SD).

Yamabushi (Japanese) A sect in Japan of ancient origin, but now inclining to Buddhism. Often regarded as the fighting monks, inasmuch as they have not hesitated to take up arms in case of necessity somewhat like certain yogis in Rajputana or the lamas in Tibet. They are perhaps most numerous near Kyoto, where they are famed for their healing powers. Yamabushi hold a "Japanese Secret Science of the Buddhist Mystics," calling their seven mystery-teachings the seven precious things or jewels (SD 1:67).
