Geopathic is taken from two words;

geo meaning earth, and pathos meaning suffering.

It refers to situations where living creatures suffer ill health due to various energies emanating from the earth.

It is often involved in the problem described as 'sick house syndrome'. But not all sick houses are caused by geopathic stress. There are many other other problems that can cause illness in the occupants, electro-magnetic energy produced by generators or fuse boxes for instance, or various types of chemical pollutants.

When a person suffers geopathic stress it can be down many different types of energy, some unfortunate occupants encounter several different types all overlapping each other within the house. If the person sleeps or sits for long periods, or does day to day chores around the home in the area encompassed by these energies, then they can begin to suffer. It is worth mentioning here that some people are more sensitive to geopathic stress than others. There can be a situation were two people are living in the same house and only one person is affected by geopathic stress. This means that people suffering from geopathic stress may feel that they are being hypochondriacs, and that it is all in the mind. In those sensitive to geopathic stress their immune symptoms must work harder to keep them well, and eventually it stops coping. When the sufferer then turns to any sort of practitioner whether it be homeopathic, their GP, or other therapies, the medicine either has no effect, or produces some effect followed by a relapse, simply because the immune system is unable to work on healing the body whilst it is coping with protecting itself from the geopathic stress.

What are the symptoms of geopathic stress?

Feeling low and tired. Feeling depressed. Mood changes when a person is in the affected area for long periods of time. This may not occur not straight away; it can take many years before the person is worn down enough for these symptoms to appear. Also since geopathic stress is continuously bombarding the body and wearing down the immune system, it aggravates any minor ailments that you get, and over time can cause more serious illnesses. It is not only humans who suffer from geopathic stress, animals, trees and plants will all show signs of illness if placed in detrimental energy fields.

Detrimental earth energies come in many guises, sometimes they originate from quarries which throw invisible beams across the land for several miles. They travel through the properties they hit causing geopathic stress. Spiral energies coming from the earth itself, whether vertical or horizontal can be a source of geopathic stress. Radon gas is another situation, and  Methane gas which can seep through the ground itself. Geopathic stress  can either be built up within the house or travel from outside through the house.

These are the major problems which may occur in properties. It doesn't matter if the property is old or new, if it has been built in the path of detrimental energy it will still affect the property if the person is sensitive.

What can be done to remedy geopathic stress?

Personally I feel that the ability to both detect and interact with these energies is a gift given by God to be used for the benefit of everyone. Most dowsers are sensitive and if they are aware of the situation they can find a solution to the problem.  Eighty percent of what we do as dowsers in situations of geopathic stress is covered by the intent. The remaining twenty percent is the actual physical action of the dowser such as for instance, attending the site where the problem is. Personally I prefer to work off-site, and I know many other dowsers share this preference. Dowsers are sensitive to geopathic stress, and so it is unhealthy for them to be constantly visiting sites bathed in detrimental energies.

 My preferred way of working myself is by doing a map search, finding the problem with the property either by a plan of the house or a Google earth aerial photograph of the property. Once I have located the problem which is affecting the client I can then look at my colour coding system and create a seal to protect the property from these harmful situations. Within seconds of completing the seal, the atmosphere within the property will change. For instance if it was electric magnetic field going through the property once the seal is completed the electric magnetic field goes around the property instead of through the property giving the client peace. It will take time for the client to recover but in my experience they do recover and reasonably quickly. I have got references to back this up from clients.

Bad Energies

Bad energies are a massive subject. I suggest, to get a fuller understanding, you should buy a book on the subject. Once again I shall give you a few simple tips on how to protect yourself. Firstly always ask 'May I, Can I and should I'. If the rod or pendulum indicate no heed the warning. It may be protecting you from potential harm. Seek a professional, or more experienced dowser for help in this field. We are all different. Some people can live in bad energies and feel no ill effects, whereas others will be susceptible to the bad energies. One form of bad energy you may not recognise are misguided spirits. Not all spirits or ghosts are bad, just the occasional one can cause problems. In some cases they can latch on to you  and you can take them home unknowingly and they will drain you as they use up your energy.Personally I always map dowse the building or area first and then before I go to the site I protect myself by strengthening my aura and saying a prayer.

Transforming bad energy into good.

It is possible to change bad energy into good energy. The way that I do it is by visualising the bad energy as black and visualising good energy as white. I then transform the bad energy into good. This can be done either by map dowsing or on site. However you do need to have good knowledge and experience before attempting this. I am currently working on a new project which hopefully will be completed this year, 2010. It involves working with radon gas, which can be harmful in heavy concentrations, especially if you have it beneath your building. This project involves transformation of the radon gas.
