Geopathic Stress In Our Homes

It has long been recognised in Germany that there are certain zones in the earth that undermine human health.  It is quite common for geopathic stress surveys to be carried out in Germany.  In the earlier part of this century, 'blind' surveys were conducted by von Pohl into the so called 'cancer' houses in Vilsbiburg.  These were residences in which an inordinately high number of people were known to have contracted cancer over several generations.  There was found to be a strong statistical link between certain houses and the incidence of cancer.  When these houses were plotted on a map, they formed distinct patterns.  These patterns were in nearly all cases linked to 'zones of noxious teluric radiations', thought to be mainly water veins.  Earlier work in Stuttgart showed the link between cancer and geological faults.  In the ancient world it was commonly known that certain areas are not fit for human habitation.  These days, we build on land according to economic criteria and the pressures of population growth.

Some natural health practitioners, like those who use Vega machine technology, recognise that geopathic stress can build up in their patients.  When geopathic stress builds up in somebody, it does not manifest as a new exotic illness with its own special pathology.  In most cases it undermines the immune system, heightens our allergic responses, brings on depression, facilitates the onset of other illnesses, and very frequently brings on a crushing fatigue.  The illnesses that it facilitates are often not minor; it can trigger a lethal cancer.

Because it has no unique pathology of its own, we may not so easily recognise its presence in the midst of common illnesses/  However, if we find that we are not recovering from a common illness at the rate that we think we should, then there may be a background geopathic stress within the body.  Alternatively, we may find that we just don't quite get over something like a flu.  Its effects hand around for weeks or months.

We in modern times seem to be subject to more stress than ever.  Driving in peak hour traffic, tension in a close relationship, pressure at work, irregular eating and sleeping, death or loss of a loved one, and even an uncertain economic world or job insecurity.  We live with more chemicals than ever.  These chemicals may be in the workplace, and some quite lethal chemicals are to be found in the home.  Glues and plastics are found in common building materials and paint exudes fumes.  Some of these chemicals are established carcinogens.  Add to this the intense electrical environment that most of us live in and it adds up to a lot of pressure on the body.  Together, we may call this the 'stress bucket'.  If we have several of these factors happening at any time, and if we also sleep in a geopathic stress zone, the geostress might well be the final factor that tips the scales in favour of a disease process.  Our body just can't continue combating and compensating for them all.

The beauty of the viewpoint of a geomancer, is to see life and intelligence penetrating and inhabiting all of Nature.  We as geomancers recognise that a zone where the earth is under its own stress, puts those of us who live in that zone, also under stress.  When detecting geopathic stress, geomancers look for:

Geological faults

polluted underground water

Negative geomagnetic zones

Negative nexus points

And certain energies of human origin:

Leys

Psychic impressions

Presences

Psychometric impressions on objects

And the better known-Hartmann and

Those that affect us in a health sense most commonly, are geological faults, underground water, and geomagnetic lines.  The origin is Nature.

That geological faults in the ground, or underground water, deep within the earth, can affect our health remotely, may sound odd at first.  We are brought up to think that only things in contact with us can affect us, like ingesting good food or poisons.  So let's take a look at one possible mechanism whereby the environment can affect us at a distance.

It has been proposed by scientists like Dr Glen Rein, that there are formative forces in Nature apart from the four classic forces of physics called 'information fields'.  Information fields may be likened to a computer program.  When we take on board 'information' in the form of a homeopathic preparation, we take guidance on an organic level as to how the body will function.  Jacques Benveniste stirred up a lot of controversy when he published in Nature magazine, experiments that would appear to support homeopathy, in the late 80's.  He took a reagent that affects the way cells are stained in laboratory processes.  He diluted 1 to 100 this reagent and succussed it and repeated the dilution/succussing process around a thousand times. It was unlikely that there were any molecules of the original substance left in the final dilution.  Yet he found that the cells reacted to staining, as though the reagent was fully present.  This was not well received in certain sections of the scientific community. It brought out the anti-homeopathic passions of many scientists.

A co worker of his, Michel Schiff, a physicist, worked with the electrical transmission of active reagents.  He connected a vial containing a reagent that affects the way a frog heart pumps.  Through induction coils connected by a DC circuit, the frog heart reacted as though the reagent was directly injected into it.  This is difficult to understand in the context of modern scientific thinking.  These experiments which drew a strong emotional response from the readership from the scientifically conservative 'Nature" magazine, tell us a lot about how subtle energy fields work.  However, naturalists and naturopaths have excepted them as real for many years.

A Geomantic Map

In the case of underground water, water diviners commonly dowse a stream of one to several metres wide.  Having defined what looks like an underground stream, we might get excited and drill for it, expecting some underground caverns with abundant running water.  However, in most geological environments, this is not possible.  Caverns and streams are confined mostly to limestone country and sandy aquifers.

In granite and compact sedimentary rocks, underground water is mostly in the form of water moving through fairly fine cracks or joints in the rock.  In reality it may only be half a centimetre wide and 30 centimetres deep.  But at the surface, this same water moving through the ground may appear to the dowser to be one and a half metres wide.  What we divine is really the energy field generated by the water in the joint, sometimes far underground.  The flow rate may be like a garden tap turned full on, but is easily missed in drilling.  We se such underground water when we go down a tourist mine.

If this water happens to have within it pollutants like industrial chemicals or sewerage or heavy metals, then the chemical blueprint, or chemical 'patter, or form' is projected to the surface by the very field that a water diviner senses and picks up.

The thing is, that should we be sleeping in such a water energy zone, or spend a lot of time in one, then the energy field from the water permeates the body, together with its chemical message.  The subtle sensors in the body (the same sense that the diviner uses) interpret the chemical message as though the chemical is actually within the body.  Then the body goes into its natural reactions to try to eliminate these toxins that are not even physically present.

This way of understanding geopathic stress is similar to homeopathy:  they are both functional ways of thinking and understanding phenomena around us.  Note that there are healing as well as sickness zones.

Geomagnetic lines are another interesting phenomenon.  They can transmit the information of shape (and other types of information as well) into the body.  If we disturb the form of the earth, for example, by cutting through a hill to make a freeway, we disturb the etheric blueprint of the earth.  In some way, which we do not fully understand yet, the shape disturbance is carried downstream in geomagnetic lines.  When we spend time in this geomagnetic lines, they disturb our etheric body blueprint.

A reliable, extremely sensitive person once told me that a particular area was uncomfortable for her.  In that zone, I found what I thought was a positive geomagnetic line.  I couldn't understand why it made her feel such discomfort.  When I traced the line further upstream, I saw that it crossed a cactus garden.  When the line was diverted around the cactus garden, the sense of discomfort disappeared for her.  It seems that, in this case, the spikiness of the cacti was transmitted downstream as a kind of shape information that can impose itself upon a person's own body shape.  When these lines are severely disturbed, they may undermine a particular organ that they resonate with.

In the case of geological faults, it is possible that the stress field is linked to the crystals that make up the rocks, which are under enormous earth stresses.  Collectively, they emit a kind of stress field.  Faults put all other geomantic energies under stress.  This is why they are remedied first.  We cannot take the physical stress from a fault, but we can short circuit the stress fields, or more accurately, the information that makes up the stress field.

Each energy mentioned above has its own way of transmitting its own particular patterns of stress into us, and each energy has its own form of treatment.  A full geomantic analysis includes a site plan with each of the above energies mapped on it.  the geomancer prepares remedies and harmonises or diverts the stress fields from a given living area.  This may be physical remedies like wire coils or copper stakes, but for the more human oriented geomagnetic elements like leys and psychic impressions, psychological means are more appropriate, like space clearing and house blessing.  These patterns were installed in a building with (unconscious) human intent, and are best removed by conscious human intent.

The best place for us to build is where the soil is more fertile where there are no ant nests, and next to people who have lived a long and healthy life.  As our awareness grows of our intimate connection to all things, so will it be increasingly recognised that the unseen, energy environment is not neutral.  Its subtle but constant 'message' may heal us or make us ill.
