Edinburgh Hypnosis and Magnetism Explorers Group
All agesWed
Join James Tripp and Rowan Ramsay for an in-person exploration into the felt experience and practical application of what are often referred to as “healing energies.”
This session sits right at the heart of what the Edinburgh Hypnosis and Magnetism Explorers Group is about: not just talking about these phenomena, but engaging with them directly.
Across cultures and traditions, concepts such as Chi, Qi, and Animal Magnetism have been used to describe subtle, often hard-to-define aspects of human experience—particularly in relation to healing, influence, and connection.
In this event, we’ll approach these ideas not as beliefs to adopt, but as experiences to explore.
What We’ll Be Doing
Guided exercises to explore “energetic” phenomena through direct experience
Exercises focused on sensitivity, attention, and interaction
Experiments drawn from both mesmerist and qigong traditions
Opportunities to notice and develop your own felt sense of these processes
Rather than asking “Is this real?”, we’ll be asking:
“What happens when we engage with this in a structured, attentive way?”
What This Is (and Isn’t)
This is not a lecture or a demonstration-only event.
It’s a participatory, exploratory session where your own experience is central.
We’ll be working at the intersection of:
Vitalist perspectives (energy, flow, felt sense)
Suggestion-based approaches (attention, expectation, responsiveness)
You’re invited to explore both, without needing to commit to any particular metaphysical explanation.
Who It’s For
Curious beginners
Practitioners of hypnosis, coaching, or therapy
Those interested in mesmerism, energy work, or embodied experience
Anyone willing to explore with openness and attention
No prior experience is required.
