No actually you have increased my excitement since this is close to what I
was going to comment on soon.
Never the less, there is one detail which returns back to me

This MAY be what is going on in this case. The argument has been made
against other magnet devices like the Hamel spinner, SMOT, and the Howard
Johnson linear motor that it is some automatized movements of the person's
hand, or attempts to correct for vibration of magnets, that lead to hidden
inputs of energy, and a false conclusion of overunity.
However your second statement is much more provocative, and is quite
different in nature from your first:

Well it may have been faith, but maybe it was the energy field of your body
that was doing it-- and this may be "faith" in the end.
Simlar reactions to physical presence were shown in the Zinsser effect
experiments, where a vial of water was exposed to a mW burst of RF radiation
and then left suspected on a horizontal balance. If a person was in the
room when the water was activated, their entries and exits from then on
would cause the vial to move. In all cases the vial moved some distance
from its original position, and the total energy balance was overunity.
In addition Phillip Callahan detailed what he called a "paramagnetic
sensor", a small corrugated cardboard tower like an obelisk, filled with
sand. This device would point toward people in their presence.
More directly relevant, Burl Payne developed a gadget where magnets were
attached to a ring of nonferrous material so the poles were oriented around
the ring. This was then suspended over people's heads by a cord. It would
rotate without any impetus. This is similar to some Russian "torsion field"
designs.
The division between electromagnetism and so called "life energy" is
entirely artificial one.
Assumng the Ohsako effect is based on life energy, is it possible that it
can be made to occur without a hand holding it? Possibly, if a generator of
"life energy" is attached to the rotor. For instance a stack of Cameron
cones, as shown in this article, might work in some configuration:
