Planet Earth is a wonderful and mystical place. Life has developed and evolved adapting to the environment for the past 3.8 billion years or more. Living conditions for all life on the planet greatly vary and some of the factors influencing development are related to climate and geographical landscape. Life has persisted to overcome amazing adversities and species have evolved from their original shape and form to adapt to an ever-changing environment on the planet.

Some of the less obvious aspects influencing every existence on the planet include a constant cosmic background frequency, radiation from the sun which penetrates the planet, a magnetic shield around the Earth to protect us from harmful radiation and radiation from Earth itself. All of these frequencies combined with the energy created by humankind itself through use of technology, the power of thought and a collective conscience, we live in a place of frequencies which can be compared to a song composed from many sounds and instruments.

When these frequencies are in disharmony geopathic stress is created, influencing our health and well-being negatively.

Whilst we are aware of the dangers of some of this radiation, such as Ultra–Violet exposure and the risk of skin damage or even cancer, or the harmful frequencies of radioactivity, other frequencies are less well known or accepted as health risks.
The human race lived a very adapted and simple life style for eons. With simple tools only and no technology, human survival relied on refined abilities and senses. In order to maximize chance of survival, humans had to live in harmony with the land and their environment. The knowledge of harmful energies from the earth or the ground was part of many cultures as archaeological finds and paintings have demonstrated.

Rituals and ceremonies are thousands of years old, and more likely they are as old as humankind itself. Many of the sites used for rituals emanate a ‘special energy’. Even to this day traditional indigenous cultures have an awareness of the potential of certain sites in their environment to bring health benefits or danger of sickness. Some of the sites are thought to have mythical powers and in many traditions stories surround these sacred sites. Indigenous Australians and their stories of Dreamtime are a good example. These stories are interwoven with the Australian landscape and the dreaming of a particular place is the embodiment of all the aspects of the spirit of that place.

Other examples include many old churches in the U.K. and Europe, which are positioned above fields of positive radiation from the ground. It is thought that the strong influence of the church was magnified through these strong fields and that the power of churches drastically declined, when more and more interference and changes occurred in the course of renovations. It is interesting that some of these sites were originally pagan rituals sites which were taken over by the church, while the church later declared the art of dowsing as heretic and officially banned its use.

Dowsing rods were used for thousands of years as a means of reading energies in the environment. In China it was part of Feng Shui, Romans and Etruscans had special priests, called Augurs, who were highly respected. An important part of their work was to find and clear sites to build settlements and temples. Some of their methods were the use of a special rod and the observation of animal behaviour within fenced in areas. Animals and plants are very sensitive to the various radiation fields of the earth and make excellent indicators for some types of geopathic stress.

The use of Geomancy is becoming more widely accepted and used again, especially in European countries such as Germany and Austria, where sites are often surveyed before commencing building.

What is Geomancy

Geomancy can literally be translated ‘Earth Divination’. The use of rods or penduli plays an important role in reading unseen forces and energies, this is called dowsing. So how does dowsing work?

Our Senses are our physiological method of perception. Through science and modern medicine we now know, that what our senses are picking up, are various forms and frequencies of waves. Ears pick up sound, which are vibrations of air, water or matter, the information is relayed to the brain and reaches our consciousness. Vision is the ability to receive and interpret particular frequencies of electromagnetic waves released by the sun, called white light. The amount of waves and frequencies in the universe and on our planet is endless. Frequencies in the range of geopathic stress can be picked up through our nervous system and the so called third eye, which is considered part of the pineal gland. Experiments in Germany have shown, that when a strip of aluminium foil was placed on the forehead of a dowser, geopathic stress zones could not be picked up.

Our brain and nervous system allow us to sense and recognize waves and frequencies at astonishingly small variations, we can therefore sense fields of energy, where technology has not yet developed instruments. Rods act as an extension and receiver, comparable to antennae or aerials.

While our senses allow us to recognize Geopathic Stress, our body will respond to the varying frequencies in different ways. Each of our organs and body parts has its own frequency and will resonate with specific frequencies emitted by geopathic stress. Depending on the type of frequency and susceptibility of the individual, the impact on body and mind can be serious and harmful.

Underground Water Courses

When large amounts of water are forced through tunnels below the ground, a field of radiation can be detected above ground. These radiation zones can have a serious impact on the immune system and general health of people, animals and even plants (tree cancer and malformations). This phenomenon can be measured with technical equipment, which is currently used in Germany and Austria.

The German aristocrat and dowser, Gustav Freiherr von Pohl, developed a theory during his 30 years of dowsing for wells, that watercourses cause cancer and other serious health problems, when a person sleeps within the field of radiation. He successfully proofed this theory through dowsing the entire town of Vilsbiburg in Germany, where all 54 deaths caused by cancer in the previous ten years had occurred where the person had slept above the watercourse. Many studies in Europe have since confirmed von Pohl’s findings.

Despite many attempts to remedy the radiation field of a watercourse, no real cure can neutralize the strong radiation field. Measurements with a scintillation counter can still detect the field with the same intensity after placing a remedy.

The frequencies found within the field of a watercourse resonate with the human body, which consists to a large degree of water. During stages of relaxation, our immune system is exposed to this faulty programming and illness can develop.

Right polarized watercourses, where the water is pushed through the ground in a clockwise rotation, are found directly below many old churches, amongst other geomantic phenomena. Water from wells considered to have health benefits and even holy water from some rare wells in Europe is clockwise rotating water. Sleeping above a right polarized Watercourse with a high intensity will also interfere with the body’s mechanisms and can lead to health issues.

On rare occasions weak beneficial watercourses are found, these fields have shown to support human life.

Geological Faults

The earth’s surface is constantly shifting and moving. Through this movement, fissures appear below the surface. These cracks can cause similar fields to a watercourse. Generally the field of radiation is not as strong as a water course, unless heavy rainfall fills these cracks. In some parts of the world gases like hydrocarbon gas or radon are emitting from the cracks. This is the case in Greece at the Oracle of Delphi for example.

It is recommended to avoid sleeping above geological fault lines, as the immune system can be weakened and illnesses encouraged.

Symptoms associated with geopathic stress:

• Sleeping disorders and nightmares
• Feeling worn-out and tired in the morning
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Rheumatic pains
• Autonomic disorders like sweating, freezing,
• Arrhythmias
• Migraines, tension headaches
• Persistence of any symptoms despite treatments
• Decondary infertility, hormonal disorders and miscarriages
• Difficulties to learn and concentrate, especially
• Symptoms without clear somatic cause
• Cancer, M.E., Asthma, P.M.S., Cot Death & Heart problems.
• Long-term physical & mental illnesses where present treatment does not seem to work.
• Children born with defects.
• Long-term stress in relationship/at work.
• Allergy to food & drinks.
• Child Abuse
• Road Rage

Many studies from all over the world have demonstrated and confirmed the harmful effects of geopathic stress on body, mind and spirit. Our whole beings are designed to function at an optimal level at very particular frequencies. When the natural electromagnetic field is disrupted through geological fault lines, water courses, electromagnetic fields and other types of geopathic stress mentioned above, serious and long-term illnesses and psychological conditions are encouraged to develop.

Geomancy can identify areas of stress and either clear some types of geopathic stress or help find more beneficial sites for the placement of our beds, workplace or even favourite reading chair. Methods used to clear geopathic stress include traditional cures with copper and wire, and Space Clearing rituals for space memory types of interferences.
