| Questa pagina deriva dalle opere del Conte Franz von Szapáry (1804-1875) — aristocratico ungherese, magnetizzatore terapeutico operante a Parigi nella metà dell'Ottocento, autore di importanti opere sul magnetismo curativo e sulle douze passes magnétiques (le 12 passes di Szapáry), tecnica cardinale del Paret Method contemporaneo. Szapáry è una figura-ponte fra la tradizione magnetica continentale e il magnetismo aristocratico inglese.

The Douze Passes (twelve passes) are the opening sequence of the therapeutic method of Count Franz von Szápáry: twelve magnetic passes performed from the head to the stomach, divided by finger, with which the magnetopath "rebalances the magnetic force in the patient". The technique is documented in Szápáry's Magnétisme et magnétothérapie (catechism, no. 153) and is closely connected to the theory of the "douze paires (passes)" of the cranial nerves.
The sequence of the twelve passes
To the question "What are the twelve main passes to be made to rebalance the magnetic force in the patient?" (no. 153), Szápáry responds with this sequence:
- Three passes with the thumb, starting from the top and center of the forehead, passing over the nose and towards the pit of the stomach;
- Three with the index finger, starting from the center of the eyebrows;
- Three with the middle finger, starting from the center of the ears;
- Three with the last two fingers, starting from the jaw.
All these passes must always be conducted down to the pit of the stomach. Once there, "the hand is applied, with fingers extended and close together".
Three passes for each of the four finger groups: twelve in total. The structure is not random — it reflects the doctrine according to which "all passes for problems of the spirit and perception" must be conducted "through the twelve pairs (passes) of the brain towards the Sympathicus and the Vagus nerve", while the passes for vegetative functions start from the cerebellum through the Medulla Spinalis and the Sympathicus.
Relationship with the nine passes
The twelve passes are the opening and general rebalancing phase; the nine passes are instead the targeted technique on the nine nerve nodes (plexuses) to conduct, intercept, and bind the force. The two sequences integrate: one begins with rebalancing (twelve passes from head to stomach) and continues with work on the nodes (at most nine passes), choosing the finger based on the correspondence with the affected sense.
The point of the pit of the stomach
The convergence of all twelve passes on the pit of the stomach is not secondary: in Szápáry the fluid "flows from the brain (sensorium commune) to the pit of the stomach (plexus solaire, ganglion solare)", seat of the Arkeos and central node of the system. Concluding each pass with the hand applied to that point means channeling and fixing the magnetic force there.
