THE CALLIGARIS METHOD
Walter Last
This method is still tually unknown, but is included here in the hope of stimulating research and experimentation. The
italian neurologist Giuseppe Calligaris discovered a system similar to reflexology, or zone therapy, covering emotional,
psychic and organ reflexes. In addition to the lines shown in FIG. 1 there is one that corresponds fo the oulline of the two
drawings.
Ifyou press the tip of a middle finger of a tested person by exerting a quick, ight and alternating pressure on pad and
nail using your own thumb and index finger, a line wil be sensitized that leads from the tip of the middie finger along both
sides of the arm to the shoulder. With further stimulation, the other main lines will be activated. Sensitive people may feel
a tingling sensation along these lines, while others may be able to feel them with the help of a cold metal spatula. This
may be Used to retrace the lines or to rub lightly across them and they will be felt with a distinctly cool sensation.
In addition to the main lines, there are lines starting at the tip of each finger and toe, and also in the webs between
fingers and toes. Each of these digital and inter-digital ines corresponds to a certain organ, emotion or mental activity as
shown in FIG, 2,
Ifyou hold the tip of a finger so that a light pressure is exerted just below the nail and at the finger pad, the line starting
at this finger will become sensitive. Again, you can test this by lightly rubbing straight across the line with a cold spatula.
Alternatively, use the tip of a teaspoon or a small metal hammer, or apply a weak electric current. A sensation of
coolness should be felt along the line. If the hand is brushed with a phosphorus solution, one of these lines should glow
a dark room if the test person experiences the corresponding emotion.
If one of the hand lines is sensitive even without holding the corresponding finger or web, we may assume either the
associated organ has a functional defect or the tested person experiences a certain emotion. This effect is more
pronounced if you strongly press the corresponding organ. If the organ is healthy, the sensitivity of the line is low, while if
Itis diseased, sensitivity is high.

In addition, sensory impressions such as color, music, odors, and also the weather and the moon, have specific
influences on our organs and emotions that can be tested with the corresponding sensitized lines.
Furthermore, all over the body, but mainly along the reflex lines, are a multitude of small skin areas, called plaques,
usually 8-13 mm in diameter. These become sensitive with certain bodily processes, emotions, mental or psychic
activities, On the other hand, these processes and activities can be induced by stimulating the corresponding plaques.
Calligaris found thousands of different plaques.
Increasing Psychic Awareness
Following is a simple technique to increase psychic awareness. Place the tip of either middle finger lightly on a flat
surface or, better stil, on the south pole of a small magnet, The nail may protrude over the edge. Another good method is
to press of rub this spot with your thumbnail In this, as well asin the following skin-reflex tests, only the lightest skin
stimulation will ead to success. If the pressure is too strong, nothing will happen. After five to 30 minutes of stimulation of
the tip of the middle finger, you may experience true visions of the present, past or future (according to Calligaris)
The exact spot to be stimulated is the crossing-point of the midline and a line representing the outline of the finger.

HOW TO FIND THE PLAQUES
Find the approximate location on the body as shown in FIG. 1 or as given in the following description. Mark the
corresponding zone line with a felt pen or cosmetic pencil. Search in the approximate location by lighily rubbing with a
cold metal spatula across the zone line, by tapping lightly with a small metal hammer (approximately 12 mm in diameter)
or by using a light electric current. At the exact location of the plaque you should notice a distinct sensation of coolness;
mark this. It may be necessary to cool the spatula or hammer from time to time in cold water.
Then take a metal cylinder of the specified diameter and move it very lightly in a quick circular motion (80-100 times
pet minute) on the marked spot. The cylinder must be very smooth, with clean, slightly rounded edges. It must touch the
skin completely, should not dent the skin, and the amplitude of the rotary motion should be only a fraction of a milimeter.
Alternatively, you may use a ‘Faraday brush’ to provide a weak electric current for stimulation. This is usually quicker
After five to 30 minutes the plaque is sensitized and the tested person experiences several sensory reflexes, which
should be reported to the tester. These sensations may be only light, and itis preferable to tell the tested person
beforehand what to look for. Usually there are three reactions as in the following description, though sometimes only two
may be noticed. After experiencing one or two correct sensations, keep the cylinder stil, but continue to hold it very
lightly on the plaque. Cover the eyes of the tested person with a black cloth, especially if visions are involved. Within a
further five to 15 minutes the target sensation should emerge. With continued practice, the indicator reflexes and the
target sensations will develop quicker and quicker unti the whole procedure takes only a few minutes. However,
Periodically, during some days or hours, the plaques do not respond at all. The reason for this is not known
Autoscopy and Heteroscopy
In the method previously described, the tester tries to induce certain phenomena noticed and reported by the tested
person. This is called autoscopy. For this itis important that the tester sits at the side of the tested person. There are,
however, receiver plaques on the body that are mirror-symmetrically placed to the sender plaques. Ifthe tester sits
exactly opposite the tested person and stimulates a certain receiver plaque on himself or herself, he or she can feel
whether the corresponding sender plaque of the tested person is hypersensitive. This in turn can be used to test different
‘organ functions of a patient. This is called heteroscopy.
In healing practice this latter technique will usually be used.
‘The tester or an assistant can with training become sensitive and respond very quickly, while a patient would initially
have quite weak - if any - responses,
In order to induce heteroscopic reflexes, the tester must first sensitize the ‘heteroscople master plaque’ in the assistant,
then the specific plaques. Autoscopic vision, especially of the organs, will be easier if you stimulate beforehand the
corresponding organ line (see FIG. 2), for example, with light alternating finger pressure. In addition, you may stimulate
ipakwwnhealt-science-spiritcamvaligrs mt a6anazo1s ‘THE CALLIGARIS METHOD
the ‘neuro-vegetative master plaque’ at the middle of the left kneecap.
Visions generally appear in a vague, nebulous form and gradually become clearer, sometimes remaining fluctuating. It
is important to view in a relaxed way and to not consciously try to see something
Diagnosis with the Hand
In the patient, sensitize a plaque that is about 3 cm below the right kneecap, 5 mm to the right of the midline. The patient
should watch for the following reflexes,
41 Automatic movement of the lips
2 A feeling of buming in the back.
3A feeling of stiffness in the joints of hips, knees and feet
in this sensitized condition any diseased organs will emit an increased amount of radiation that can be felt by slowly
moving the left hand (left-handers use the right hand) about 20-30 cm over the body. A diseased organ will be felt as,
coolness or tingling in the hand.
Projection of Microbes
‘These are perhaps the most fascinating, but also the most difficult of the Calligaris experiments. Pictures of microbes,
responsible for an infectious disease may be projected on to the skin of the patient. Sensitize a plaque at the inside of
the left wrist-fold, from the midline slightly towards the thumb. The expected reflexes are as follows.
1 Pain in both ears
2 Pain in both lower arms
A feeling of heat
A picture, several centimeters in size, may appear on the back of the right lower arm of the patient. Another projection
plaque is 1'cm above the middle of the outside of the right lower arm, on the midline, slightly towards the side of the
thumb, The reflexes are as follows,
1 Heaviness in the shoulders.
2 Tickling or tingling in the edges of the upper ears,
3 Coolness in the left knee, while the right shin may go to sleep
The projection may appear on the middle of the right upper arm, covering an area of about 9 X 6 cm. The picture may
appear clearer if you use an astringent cream or lotion. Cancer is indicated by a sphere covered with hundreds of
prickles, which Calligaris called spherula dentata. Sometimes the picture of a microbe or of another disease-causing
agent of residue appears in stylized form. These skin pictures can be photographed
‘Alarge amount of dedication and perseverance is required before the Calligaris skin reflexes can be easily evoked and
used in healing work. Books about this method have been published in French, German and Italian.
GENERAL PLAQUES
‘Some of these plaques are included because they are of general interest and others because they are easy to find and
sensitize for beginners. The following compilation gives first the identification number of the plaque as shown in FIG. 1
then the name or main effect of the plaque, its size in millimeters (which is also the diameter of the cylinder needed for its
stimulation), and the provoked reflexes to watch for (usually three).
