If you’ve ever stared at your magnets and thought, “Wait, which side goes where?”—you’re in good company. It is the most common question I get, and once you understand the basics, you’ll never second-guess yourself again. Here’s your no-stress guide to figuring out which side of the magnet should face your body and why it matters.
The Basics: Red Side vs. Black Side
Magnets used in Biomagnetism have two distinct sides:
Red side: This represents positive polarity.
Black side: This represents negative polarity.
When we talk about which side to use, we ALWAYS refer to the side of the magnet touching your body, not the side visible from the outside. So, if someone says, “Use the black side,” it means the black side should face your body.
Diagrams: What You See Is What You Use
When looking at a Biomagnetism diagram, the color of the magnet shown on the diagram is the color that needs to face your body. It’s as simple as that! For example, if a diagram shows a red magnet on the liver, that means the red side of the magnet should touch your skin at the liver. If it shows black, the black side faces your body.
Pro Tip: When in doubt, repeat to yourself: “What you see is what you use.” It’s a simple way to remember which side to use and avoid second-guessing yourself.
Bilateral Pairs: The Most Common Biomagnetic Pairing
Bilateral pairs are the backbone of most biomagnetism protocols. These involve placing one magnet on the right side of the body and another on the left, on naturally paired areas, like eyes, shoulders, or knees, to balance pH and restore harmony.
The rule for bilateral pairs is simple:
The black side of the magnet goes on the right side of the body.
The red side goes on the left side.
To make it even easier to remember, here’s a helpful rhyme: “Black towards the right, so red’s in sight.”
This means the black side touches your skin on the right, with the red side visible. On the left, it’s reversed—the red side touches your skin, and the black side faces out. Placing your magnets will feel natural and easy once you’ve mastered the basics of bilateral pairs.
Nerdy Extra Credit: Understanding Biomagnetic Pair Notation
If you’ve seen written Biomagnetic protocols and wondered how to decode them, here’s the secret:
The first anatomical location listed is where the black (negative) magnet goes, and the second is where the red (positive) magnet goes.
For example:
Thyroid - Bladder: Black magnet on the thyroid, red magnet on the bladder.
Stomach - Right Kidney: Black magnet on the stomach, red magnet on the right kidney.
Once you know this, written protocols become so much easier to follow!
Common Questions About Magnet Placement
Why do you call it red or black instead of positive or negative? Great question! I refer to the magnets as red or black because it’s easier to understand and remember. The magnets are literally covered in red or black material. It’s a simple, visual way to avoid confusion, especially for beginners.
What happens if I use the wrong side of the magnet? No need to worry! Biomagnetism is very forgiving. If you realize you’ve placed the wrong side, adjust it and continue. Balance is the goal, and small mix-ups won’t disrupt the process.
Why do we use two colors for biomagnetism? We use the red and black sides to bring balance and harmony to the body. Each side has a specific polarity, and when placed correctly, the magnets work together to help your body restore its natural equilibrium.
Do I always need to use both sides of the magnet? Not always. Some protocols use only one magnet, while others rely on pairs to achieve balance. If you’re following along with the Biomagnetism Library, the instructions will guide you on what’s needed.
Magnet Placement Made Easy
Next time you’re wondering which side of the magnet faces your body, here’s what to remember:
It’s all about the side touching your skin. The visible side doesn’t matter.
Diagrams show the color facing the body, so follow what you see.
For bilateral pairs, remember: “Black towards the right, so red’s in sight.”
Knowing which side to use is an essential part of Biomagnetism, and with a bit of practice, it will feel like second nature. And don’t stress. Biomagnetism is about balance, not perfection. If you make a mistake, it’s no big deal. Adjust, keep going, and trust you’re on the right path to supporting your wellness.
