The
Art of Geomancy
In
ancient times the first Luo Pan that was used was a very simple
device with basically one ring denoting the 4 celestials animals
each containing seven subdivisions of the heavens together with
the Eight Trigrams or Guas.
Having
said that, the most sophisticated part of this compass was theneedle
itself, through various twists and turns it was able to tell the
Feng Shui Master the presence of anything underground from "bones"
to "Gold" and all of the various stages in between. So developed
one of the earliest Feng Shui compass methods namely the Shui Peng
Ba Zhen Fa or The Eight Needles Of The Water Compass.
Ancient
Chinese dwellings were actually built within the ground, that is
to say that on entering a building you would descend a few steps
downwards, into the main living area with a central fire pit dug
a few more feet into the earth itself. So I guess it was a pretty
useful thing that the Master could tell what was actually underneath
the ground, as the inhabitants seemed to be racing towards it!
This
type of structure had two main advantages the first was that actually
living within the earth itself made people realise that they were
actually part of nature, that there was a total integration between
the occupants and the environment with each being reliant on the
other.
A fact
sadly misunderstood in modern living, especially with the adventof
high rise tower blocks where we try to get as far away from the
earth as possible. This is not a natural way to live, and its no
wonder that people get stressed in these environments, however with
space constraints we have to use the only choice possible and that
is to become aware of what the problem is and deal with it accordingly
So should
you live or work within one of these structures try to bring in
as much of the natural environment as possible with trees, plants,
stones or crystals and of course water.
Heaven,
Earth and Man
Secondly
the residue from the fires actually neutralised harmful radiation's
from the earth itself, the study of which today is called Geomancy.
This deals with what is called Geopathic Stress, Black streams or
Sick Building Syndrome. In Feng Shui we deal with the three aspects
namely Heaven or fate, Man, our impact on an environment, and Earth,
this is where Geo mancy
fits in.
Geomancy
is not new, our ancient masters used it to find the dragon Qi.it's
an Earth science. To understand this fully you should know that the
Earth is essentially the same as us, it consists mostly of water,
it has energy channels called meridians as do we. When one of these
channels becomes blocked it puts more pressure on the rest of the
system, interrupts the flow and causes disease. We then go to see
an acupuncturist or doctor to analyse and cure the problem. Or we
have the foresight to have regular check ups so we do not have this
problem in the first place.
If
you look back at all of our ancient figures from any civilisation
you willsee that they all carried a staff or some kind of stick in
their hand, this was a psychotronic device to allow them to feel the
residual energies of the earth. That is to say, to detect blocked
or vibrant earth meridians.
 They
called these Lung Mai or dragon veins and would decide the auspiciousness
of the site from these before looking at any other aspects. Sadly
this is a major factor ignored in modern Feng Shui teaching.
"Black
streams" as they are commonly refered to on the human body. The
scale rates from 1 - 16. With the following effects: 5-6 Obesityand
swelling of joints. 7-8 Mental disorders, paranoia, schizophrenia
obsessions, addictions, psycho-sexual disorders, suicides and location
specific depressions. 9+ Cancer, Leukaemia, Multiple sclerosis,
motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease and many other wasting
and paralyzing disorders of all types. Crohn's disease; candidiasis;
Down's syndrome and other congenital genetic disorders;
Disorders
which very commonly have a Geopathic stress component include insomnia
and nightmares, sudden infant death syndrome, infertility, myalgic
encephalomyelitis (post viral fatigue syndrome), migraine, asthma,
eczema, arthritis and rheumatic disorders, and many other chronically
depleted immune system conditions.
Baron
Von Pohl even came to the conclusion that every single disease of
humanity can be linked to black streams with the exception of gout.
In addition to these meridians there is also a system of global grids
that can also cause disease, but on the positive side there are also
some that can reverse the effects and even help us to develop ourselves.
Geomancy allows us to enhance the benefits of positive grids and reduce
the effects of harmful ones.
As
I mentioned earlier man has a direct effect on his environment, around
our earth there is what we refer to as an "Etheric web" this is something
that holds trauma or Sha Qi in place.
Typical
examples of such traumas include the building of railway and motorway
cuttings, tunnels and embankments, quarries and mines, and building
foundations, especially those with steel footings. Also implicated
are heavy industrial sites, power stations and electricity sub stations,
military bases, steel pilings, poles and road signs. Old battlegrounds
and historical sites of trauma such as witch-burnings and executions
can also retain much Sha Chi, as can sometimes natural topography.
How
to tell if you are you suffering from black streams?
Cats,
owls, snakes, slugs and snails are attracted to black streams, and
a cat's favourite sleeping place (in the absence of an obvious source
of warmth) is very often a sure clue to the location of a black
stream crossing. Insects, parasites, bacteria and viruses also thrive
on black streams, and ant and wasps nests invariably provide a similar
clue; a black stream is the right location for a beehive.
Clues
to the path of a black stream in the vegetable world include lightning-struck
trees dead or stunted gaps in hedges and avenues of trees, infertile
fruit trees, cankers, and strangely twisted trees (usually in the
direction of current flow). Fruit trees are the most sensitive, while
oaks, redwoods and ashes are more resilient, and elders seem to be
positively attracted.
Lawns
will often betray bare patches, moss, silver weed and fungi, while
vegetable gardens will reveal stunted or mutated growth, especially
along the edge lines of the black streams. Ivy, bindweed, nettles,
docks, thistles, foxgloves, ferns and nightshades are naturally attracted,
and indeed the appropriate medicinal herbs for a sick person are usually
to be found in the garden along the path of a black stream running
through their bed
The path
of a black stream can often be traced within the home by following
the piles of chronically unresolved clutter across a house. Other
clues include piles of rubbish, cracks in glass, brick and plasterwork,
recurring mechanical and electrical breakdowns, derelict areas, and
accident blackspots both within the home and outside. Fruit and vegetables,
grain, ale, cheese, jam, wine and photographic film will all spoil
quickly when stored on a black stream.
Sick building
syndrome is generally rooted in the presence of black streams under
the property. Sha Chi can be spread from the paths of the streams
throughout the building by the steel construction frames, wiring loom
and pipework, just as it is spread along railway tracks. Thus a steel
framed cattle shed with a black stream running through it will usually
feel much more unhappy than a brick and wood barn.
Bad neighbour
syndrome can frequently be traced to a black stream flowing from aggressor
to victim. Hauntings of earth-bound human ghosts and other entities,
including poltergeist activity are invariably tied to negative earth
energies.
So
how do you cure it?
Well
if you are suffering from any of the above and appear to have the
tell tale signs you could have a consultation, from a Geomancer
or Feng Shui Master and that should cure the problem.
If you
are interested in helping people with these kinds of problems thenwe
avidly teach students at our school how to identify and deal with
every line or grid that they come across as well as all aspects of
Feng Shui.
Alternatively
as these problems appear from the Earth as usual theEarth provides
a natural remedy. it's a natural vegetable carbon that you place
on the main energy source of your building, (similar to ancient
methods) and this will change the energetic frequencies of these
black streams into ones that harmonise with the human body.
