EP029 Animal Magnetism with Lee Gerrard-Barlow

14th February 2023

Lee is a hypnotherapist, NLPist, and for the main focus of this interview, an Animal Magnetist (or Mesmerist). There are very few of us out there that dive deep into this niche subject of energy and hypnosis.

Animal Magnetism is a healing art that is the precursor of hypnosis, founded by Anton Mesmer in the mid to late 1700s. Because Mesmer was working with an unseen energy, or magnetic fluid as he called it, he was discredited and deemed a charlatan. However, this art was explored by many and didn't disappear then due to its genuine power and efficiency. It has now been mostly replaced with verbal hypnosis, but the two are very different.

Enjoy our conversation about this healing art, and a presence-building exercise.
You can find out more about Lee and his work at the below links. I strongly encourage anyone in the UK to book in for his classes.

For those of you in Australia, Lance hosts his certificate of hypnosis every 6 months and includes Mesmerism within that class, and every now and then hosts a class just on mesmerism. You can find out about these all at:
