Geomancy stems from the need to harmonise mankind with its environment, to connect it to the spiritual world, and to achieve a dynamic living-space.
Our ancestors experienced direct contact with the earth's forces and nature's cycles. They had the knowledge with which to integrate the hidden, life-nurturing forces of nature into their daily work.
The architects of medieval cathedrals could not have carried out their tasks without their geomantical knowledge.
Geomancy is concerned with the energy structures of the earth (the psychology and consciousness of places) and their effects upon humans. Like the human body, the earth is also covered with energy meridians.
Also, as with humans, these meridians can be activated and healed
(earth-healing, earth-acupuncture, geo-puncture etc.)
In general, the influences of water veins, anomalies in the land and lines of the earth's magnetic fields are recognised. But there are 280 further confirmed sorts of earth energies that influence us.
We differentiate between positive, strengthening forces and negative, damaging energies. In addition to which we must consider the remarkable movements in the earth, and earthquakes in the last 50-100 years that have changed the wavelength of our planet in such a way that new energies have become active that were before neither perceptible nor influential.
For example: If the bedroom is placed over a water vein (or other anomaly), it could cause exhaustion, weak regenerative powers and eventual degenerative disease.
Classical Feng Shui alone has little effect upon the strong left-rotating (unwished) energies in some houses, flats and pieces of land. For this reason, it is important not only to precisely analyse and to place these energies, but also, as far as possible, to transform and neutralise them using proper techniques.
How are disturbances in energy fields detected?
Radiaesthesie, Structural resonance, using the 'water fork/dowsing stick' (Dowsing-methods)
For example: the use of a 'water fork/dowsing stick' is a scientific method with which one can detect phenomenon such as underground waterways, faults and tears, geomantic fields, electro-smog, radio waves and their side effects.
Areas with positive or negative wavelength can be located and neutralised or transformed where appropriate.
The goal of a complex geomantic process is to locate - on many levels - the spirit of a place, its 'genius loci', and to bring it in accord with the individuals who live there. This means to empower rooms, health and personalities of the tenants and to bring out the positive forces of nature.
What is not controversial, also is not particularly interesting
