GEOPATHIC STRESS: (Illness from the Earth: Geo = Earth, Pathos = Suffering)
WHAT IS GEOPATHIC STRESS?
Geopathic Stress is the name given to natural or man-made energies emanating from the earth, which are detrimental to human health.
Geopathic energies do not recognize boundaries, as they can pass through walls, windows and closed doors. The effects of GS undermine and weaken a person’s life force, thus causing ill health or even just ‘feeling under par’.
SO WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS/EFFECTS OF HAVING GS?
If the exposure to geopathic energies is short-lived, then in general the effects are transitory, although some people will show symptoms of tiredness, inattention and headaches when sitting in a geopathically stressed area for even one or two hours.. but imagine the cumulative effect of years spent sleeping in the same bedroom, or sitting in the same chair in the office, and you will realize that a person’s exposure to a particular form of detrimental energy could be devastating for their health and wellbeing.
The effect is gradual, involving a slow deterioration in health in those who are most susceptible to GS. As a result, they often find it difficult to feel happy, energetic, emotionally stable and physically well.
The most frequently experienced symptoms are:
• Disturbed sleep, waking often, strange dreams, wake feeling tired
• Babies and children fret and don’t sleep well
• Restlessness
• General tiredness
• ‘Sick building syndrome’
• Inability to get well and stay well
• Immune system problems
• Repeated miscarriages or infertility problems
• Birth defects
• Any other symptom, but especially ME, headaches, hyperactivity, some cancers
• A general feeling of something being not ‘quite right’ with a particular area or room
GS often goes to the person’s weakest point, producing illness there, eg. throat, stomach. Therefore, in this case the GS brings out an underlying weakness in the body.
If a negative energy line crosses them where they sleep, it may be that particular part of the body that is affected, e.g. painful or arthritic knees. If you are ill, first try moving your bed to a different spot, and if that improves matters, the chances are you have GS in your bedroom.
Because of the above, GS may affect different people in the same building differently, so a Feng Shui practitioner trained in GS would first of all examine the situation as it relates to each individual in the building. Each member of the family may have a different susceptibility to GS, and so there may be one family member, for example, who is only well when they all go on holiday somewhere else!
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND MICROWAVE POLLUTION
Before the invention of electricity, people lived in harmony with the earth and her daily and seasonal cycles. Technology advances have added tremendous levels of electromagnetic energy millions of times higher than before … microwaves, x-rays, cell phones, television, radio frequencies, high tension wires, etc.
There is much concern now among scientists about the damage caused by civilization’s pollution of the earth.
EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC POLLUTION
There is a weight of evidence that suggests that the effects of spending long periods of time in a high frequency electromagnetic field can lead to a compromising of the immune system, which may in turn lead to degenerative diseases such as adult leukaemia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s and to clinical depression. Links to brain tumours, birth defects, miscarriages, chronic fatigue, headaches, cataracts, heart problems, stress, nausea, chest pain, forgetfulness, cancer and other health problems have also been suggested. Childhood leukaemia has been internationally accepted as linked to EMF exposure.
Nb. You may also be more susceptible to GS and EMF pollution when the immune system is compromised through other illnesses.
