Triads were originally utilized by government psychics in the 1950's as a way to project energy for manifestation. Here a group of three people would stand in a triangular formation in an empty room and then hold their hands close together but not touch each. These users would then project energy into a fourth person in the center and they would then project the energy into whatever they were trying to manifest. In the 1990s with the development of Silva Mind control training, this protocol was changed slightly so that instead of holding their hands up users would instead visualize energy coming out of each other, this would found to be more effective and powerful.
