The word literally means disease or suffering of the earth and the term Geopathic Stress (GS) refers to earth energies that are harmful to man. >Yin & Yang >Five elements >Compass directions >The Bagua >Nine star Ki >Emf's >Consultations >Chi >Feng Shui Gardens >Back to Feng Shui It is known that whilst there are natural energies emanating from the earth that are beneficial to mankind, there are others that can cause discomfort, physical, mental and emotional discord and, if exposed for long enough periods, illness and disease. This is known as Geopathic Stress (GS) and usually runs in lines through the earth. Where a house is built on top of such a line the energies will run through the house. The harmful energy will travel vertically as well as horizontally regardless of any building materials in the way, in much the same way that certain electromagnetic energies are not inhibited by walls etc. This means that  a person sleeping in a bedroom directly above the line will also be prone to any harmful effects. The greater the amount of time spent in these 'fields' the higher the risk of illness occurring is. Much research has been undertaken concerning this phenomenon and it has been well documented that there is a wide range of symptoms thought to be caused by GS. These include: poor quality of sleep, anxiety, lethargy, headaches, depression, MS, ME, miscarriages and birth defects, allergies and cancers. Children are particularly vulnerable to some of these illnesses. GS may be caused by natural factors such as underground streams, geological faults and cavities, or man-made such as railway cuttings, motorways & tunnels, building foundations, quarries, tree-felling, battlegrounds etc. – basically anywhere where there has been a lack of honouring the earth, or physical disruptions. Geopathic stress can be detected by dowsing- a method whereby the Practitioner uses rods or a pendulum to locate the energies. This is usually done on site but may also be done remotely. In most cases it is possible to remove the GS, either by earth acupuncture or by using various 'tools' which may be crystals, essences, symbols and talismans, fire, etc. A full Feng Shui consultation checks for these energies and includes removal if any is found. A Healthy Homes check soley concentrates on detection, advice, and removal of Geopathic Stress and Emf's (electro magnetic frequencies). There are also electronic devices available, such as Radi Tech, that whilst not actually removing the source are effective at neutralizing the harmful energies. >Back to Feng Shui                        > What is Chi?
