Geomancy Explained
Geomancy, also known as feng shui (the Chinese version) is a science which analyses the subtle energies of nature that ebb and flow throughout the landscape, influencing health and wealth; home, garden and office alike. Every culture has ancient geomantic traditions. Modern scientists speak of Earth's geobiology.
People long ago learned to avoid places that had noxious energies. Where the Earth spirit was potent or sublime they would gather for spiritual practises, later temples and churches were built there.
Geopathic Stress
Geomancers use their dowsing faculty to analyze Earth energy flows where buildings are to be sited, or to troubleshoot existing buildings affected by geopathic stress. One Swiss canton offers a public grant towards the cost of such a survey prior to new building work; and planning permission may not be granted until it has been undertaken.
Geopathic stress zones cause irritation, poor sleep, ill health and other disturbances. They are responsible for what German people know as 'cancer beds' and 'cancer streets'. Fortunately these effects can be avoided or neutralised, using Earth acupuncture, commercial devices and other methods. Best is to perhaps learn to dowse or locate a dowser or geomancer to clear your home and property for you.
High Tech Problems
The electro and magnetic stresses, radiation from the high tech environment - computors, power lines, household appliances etc - are also checked out. Some people are highly sensitive and reactive to these insidious factors. Instrumentation is used to measure radiation levels so that avoidance can be practised.
'Building biology' is also assessed, where the very fabric of our homes and workplaces can be negatively impacting on us. For instance - concrete floors and steel framed homes can magnify the effects of geopathic stress.
