Geopathic Stress Explained – Are the harmful Geopathic Stress lines everywhere?

The term Geopathic Stress can be derived from the following.

Geopathic is from – earth and Pathic – pathos – suffering relating to disease.

My understanding of the term "Geopathic Stress" is the adverse effects of malevolent energy emanating from the earth, which can significantly affect our well-being.

This page is different. It is not about discussing existing information. It is about my observations of phenomena as a Feng Shui Consultant. It links the various bits of information and puts them into one article.

Geopathic Stress can be divided into three sections.

The Natural Energy emanating from Earth.
Hartmann Grid - The presentation of this energy at the surface of the Earth.
Buildings can aggravate illnesses.

The Natural Energy emanating from Earth.

What type of energy comes from the Earth

Thermal energy: This is well-documented as heat and is shown in geysers or hot springs. The energy from the earth heats the underground water. Then there are the volcanos. They are magnificent examples of the heat energy from the earth's centre.
Electromagnetic radiation:

The electro-mechanical effect is the result of the movement of the earth.

The principle of an electrical motor is that when an electric current passes a magnet, the magnet moves. Electromechanics comprises three elements: movement, magnet, and electric current.

Planet earth is a magnet with its North and South Poles.

It spins on its axis every 24 hours and orbits around the sun every year or 365 days. Based on the fundamental law of electromagnetism, electricity or electro-radiation is generated.

The literature (Bibliography) has stated that Schumann Resonance is the most likely form of energy (electro-radiation).

This electromagnetic radiation of the Schumann resonance is 7.83 Hz with harmonics at 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 Hz and so on.

2. Hartmann Grid

The radiation from the earth is expressed as the Hartmann Grid. Energy comes out vertically. The width of the radiation is usually about 25 cm and can be 2 m apart. However, this gap difference can vary with location. It just depends (personal observation).

Geopathic Stress - Hartmann Grid — An Image of a Grid

The intensity of the energy coming from the lines can vary and, in some instances, is not detectable.

I have observed that this grid is in the North/South and East/West axes.

How is Hartman Grid Distributed?

I have found the Hartman Grid in the various locations I have visited worldwide (5 continents).

Separation Distance

The gap within the square can be about 2 metres.

I have observed that the intervals can be as close as 0.5 m or much greater than 2 m. The signal gets weaker in some places, and it can disappear for a block (100 m or more).

Intensity

There is a variation in intensity.

From my observations, when the separation distance decreases, there is usually an increase in intensity.

When the separation distance increases, there is usually a decrease in intensity.

There are locations are where a "spot" has very intense energy. I have called it the "black hole".

Why?

In my opinion, the earth's internal structure is very uneven, full of structures that have been involved in the formation of the earth over millions of years.

Dowsing – the Detection of the Hartmann Grid

Dowsing originated in ancient times when it was treated as a form of divination of various items like ground water and buried metals.

It has a chequered history.

Catholic Church banned dowsing as it was treated as a method of divination.

Dowsing is walking with a thought whilst holding the two dowsing rods. This is shown in this video by a very pragmatic presenter.

Because scientists cannot explain the mechanism, some have a low opinion.

However, there are many things in nature that science cannot explain. If science cannot explain, it does not mean it does not exist or cannot work.

For me, the observations I use are reproducible and consistent. It follows the mechanisms stated later in the post.

I have found accurate dowsing to be an acquired skill. The movement of the dowsing rods is highly leveraged to a slight "twitch" of the arms.

Therefore, to do dowsing correctly, you need the ability to hold the rods steady and "twitch" or move the rods at the appropriate time.

3. Geopathic Stress

Two important studies relate this energy to illness within the property.

In 1929, Gustav Freiherr von Pohl, a respected German researcher, mapped dangerous areas in houses in Vilsburg, South Germany. The German Central Committee for Cancer Research in Berlin subsequently investigated this study.

After checking the local hospital records, he found that all 54 patients who had died of cancer, since records had been kept, had slept in beds above points marked on von Pohl's map of earth energy concentrations. Further research, carried out by von Pohl and other doctors, added asthma, depression, rheumatism, arthritis, MS, heart problems and a host of other disorders to the list of illnesses that harmful earth radiation seemed to help initiate or exacerbate.

Sick Building Syndrome: This is the name for symptoms you get while in a particular building. Most complainants report relief soon after leaving the building, although lingering effects can occur.

The symptoms include headaches, blocked or runny noses, dry, itchy skin, sore eyes or throat, cough, tiredness, and difficulty concentrating. This feeling of ill health increases sickness absenteeism and decreases workers' productivity.

This was first identified in the 1970s. The World Health Organisation suggested that up to 30% of new and re-modelled buildings may have this problem.

This is a huge conceptual change. The occupants can fall ill when in the building. The symptoms disappear when they leave the building. This implies that the cause of the illness is being in the building.

My observations are from working as a Feng Shui consultant.

In my experience as a feng shui consultant, I noticed that clients had difficulty sleeping in their houses but could sleep better when they were away.

Of more significance were their children who went to university. They took a long time at home to recover from their coughs and colds. When they were living away, they recovered quickly or in the usual time.

I started to investigate and study the comprehensive treatise by Rolf Gordon's book on Geopathic Stress – Are You Sleeping in a Safe Place? It uses dowsing to identify energy emanating from the earth's surface.

My investigations

My breakthrough in my investigations came when I did the consultation of a one-time famous singer. She had moved to a new property and was not productive. She was in a bad way.

I found "Geopathic Stress" everywhere - bed, office/desk, recording studio, living room, dining room.

She said that she could not live properly. She woke up and was restless. She went to her desk, could not concentrate, and went to bed to take a nap. She could not sleep – it became a vicious circle.

She just felt lethargic and was extremely worried about her future.

I experimented by putting a lead sheet underneath a carpet under her chair. She felt so much better – she could concentrate and not feel tired or uncomfortable. She was productive.

The lead sheet shields the electromagnetic radiation coming from the earth down below.

I then moved this lead sheet to block the Geopathic Stress line underneath her bed. She said that she slept better. Her sleep was not interrupted, and she woke up better than previously.

I concluded that the energy was coming up from the earth. It was the cause and malevolent.

We discussed the issue. The evidence indicated that the house was not good and suggested she should move. It was fortunate that it was rented. I checked her next house before she occupied it. She was fine when I last spoke to her.

In my consultation, I started using dowsing to identify the Geopathic Stress lines. As a scientist by training, I need to know the cause or mechanism. From there, I can find remedies.

My Opinion as a Scientist

I have worked as a forensic scientist in Scotland Yard's Laboratory for 20 years. I have an inquiring mind. My opinions are based on my observations, which have to follow the basic rules of science—are they reproducible and consistent? Does it provide a practical solution?

The basis of science is empirical observations, from which mechanisms were derived. Many have said that if science cannot explain it, it cannot work. It is the other way around. Science is based on observation first, not explanation first. The method has to work.

The mechanism is then developed from the reproducible observations.

In the right hands, it can give the following facts:

It is highly reproducible. This is the basis of good science.
It gives the desired results – water divining. Our local water companies (in the UK) still use it to detect water leaks.

Geopathic Stress

The central tenet of Geopathic Stress is that electromagnetic radiation comes from the earth. This electromagnetic radiation affects the human body.

Why is this subject important to human health?

According to Rolf Gordon, some serious illnesses can develop from these stress lines. These include cancer, back pain, and post-viral fatigue (M.E. or Myalgia Encephalomyelitis).

How do you know you are affected by Geopathic Stress?

You feel better when you are away from your property
Previous occupant suffered from long-term illness
Your sleep is interrupted for no apparent reason. You wake up the following day not refreshed.
When you try to work, you cannot concentrate and feel drowsy.

How does Geopathic Stress affect the body

The frequency of this electromagnetic radiation (Schumann radiation) is 7.83 Hz with harmonics at 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 Hz and so on.

The brain has electrical activity as well.

Delta (0.5 - 4 Hz)

Theta (4 - 8 Hz)

Alpha (8 - 12 Hz)

Beta (12 - 35Hz)

Gamma (upwards of 35Hz)

The hypothesis is that the energy from the Geopathic Stress line interferes with brain activity.

The point is that the energy is concentrated in a line. This "strength" of external energy can interfere with brain function. The natural frequency of the brain waves overlaps with the frequency of the external energy.

Geopathic Stress and Sleep

Sleeping on a Geopathic Stress line is particularly important.

When you lie down to sleep, your whole body is exposed to the possibility of being hit with a Geopathic Stress line. The surface area of the sleeping body is considerably larger than when you are sitting or standing.

Secondly, when you are sleeping, you are "unconscious." If you are uncomfortable, you cannot respond by moving away.

Thirdly, the bed is a large piece of furniture. Its location is usually pre-determined because of space constraints and interior design.

Results of sleeping on a Geopathic Stress line (my observations)

Easily to fall asleep; feeling drowsy.
The sleep is shallow and does not go into the deep sleep.
Wake up at particular times, not necessarily because of a full bladder
Difficulty waking up; feeling that you did not have a good sleep or refreshed.

When sitting down, you present less surface area to the ground. If you are not comfortable in that seat, you move.

I know of families with a favourite armchair for watching TV and another for snoozing.

When you feel uncomfortable at a desk, you move desks or change your position. You cannot do that easily with a bed.

My Observations with Geopathic Stress

Illness – what I have noticed is that people in the house have minor illnesses like coughs and colds more often. In my opinion, it probably takes longer for them to recover rather than more frequent or more vulnerable to these illnesses.

Of particular note is small children appear to have these infections perpetually.

Lack of sleep – moody, sleepy, takes time to wake up, lethargic

I do not want to go into more serious illness as this is another whole study. The cancer aspect has been covered in Rolf Gordon's book – Are You Sleeping in a Safe Place?

I will discuss the illnesses that I have observed with Geopathic Stress in the next post.

The Methods I use:

Detection: I have tried various methods, like pendulums, twigs, branches, and muscle testing. The dowsing rods have given me the best results. Even more convenient are the retractable rods. I can easily carry these through airport security.

Dealing with the Geopathic Stress line:

I am reluctant to use lead sheets within the house. Lead is not an ideal metal to be inside the house.

There are many solutions on the internet.

One obvious solution is to re-position the bed. This is fine when there is space but in London bedrooms are small, this is not always possible.

As all homes, their bedrooms, and their occupants differ, my solutions to the Geopathic Stress issue differ. They are specially tailored to the situation.

The brief answer is – IT DEPENDS.
