Refers to the effect of harmful energies
the general source of which is the earth.

geo - earth   pathos - suffering, disease   (GK)

Such energies may be natural global grids and their crossings, or arise from earth fault lines, mineral deposits, underground water courses. Trauma to the earth such as excavation, mining, building, even battlefields can also result in disrupted harmful energy.

If such zones are located directly beneath you they can cause or exacerbate a weakened immune system resulting in difficulty sleeping, exhaustion, anxiety, agitation. German medical studies over 70 years have indicated that exposure over a period of time may correspond to chronic health problems particularly the incidence of cancer. (Pohl, Winzer, Melzer, Daun). Recognition that geopathic stress slows or even blocks medical treatment has resulted in the European practice of assessing cancer patient beds at home for geopathic stress.

Currents of energy within the earth can be likened to acupuncture meridians in human bodies (as per eastern medicine). When these currents are blocked, disturbed or polluted the effect on surroundings and its inhabitants is draining. Sometimes these are referred to as black streams.

Earth-borne meridians vary from smaller than a metre to 100 metres wide and their influence is vertical. Some have been identified extending influence more than a kilometre above the earth's surface. Flow may be sinuous and have tributaries, being a part of a network. Energy can also appear in spots and spirals. Effect is felt through structures i.e. floors and walls are not barriers, and strength fluctuates with season, lunar cycle, and time of day.

Geopathic stress is detected by dowsing and also observation of stress effect - for example trails of human, structural, vegetation, landscape decay. Dowsing uses an autonomic physiological response to express sensitivity to the unseen. Where intuitive awareness is developed dowsing tools are not necessary but serve as an aid in orientation and as a degree of protection. On the human body Kinesiology and TCM acupuncture Triple Heater points can be used as geopathic stress indicators.

One way to deal with harmful earth energies is to avoid them: move your bed, desk, chair position or even move to another home. Alternately energy can be transformed or cured. Earth acupuncture (similar to human acupuncture) promotes the flow of blocked meridians and allows stagnancy and negativity to clear. Energy can be transformed or dispersed to become free-flowing. In Chinese terminology Sha Qi is transformed to Sheng Qi.

Acupuncture needles may be made of various substances and the amount of time they are in place varies. Moxibustion may be used. Sometimes permanent placement is required and can include ritual installation of sculptures, cairns, crystals or structures such as foundation stones, pagodas and dragon walls.
