identified as safe zone.
On the other hand, certain plants seem to like geopathic ‘stress’, particularly
oak trees, firs, elderberry, peach, cherry and mistletoe. Studies in woodland
areas show that lightning is far more likely to strike oak trees than, say, beech,
which is known to hate geopathic stress zones. Is this telling us these areas
are electrically polarized? Von Pohl is emphatic that lightning only strikes at
underground water crossings.
Cats too like disturbance zones; so if the cat likes sleeping with you, better
move! Some insects such as ants, wasps and beetles thrive over geopathic stress
areas; look for ants’ nests along the outer walls of your home. Finally, bacteria
and viruses also seem to like affected zones.
Diseases
Probably any disease can result when the body is put under any kind of stress.
Geopathic disturbance is just another kind of stress. What I believe is that,
although cancer has many predisposing factors, it may only come to fruition in
the presence of geopathic disturbance.
Probably the most common single finding on a geopathically stressed individual is
that he or she is resistant to other forms of treatment. Either there will be partial
success followed by a relapse, or treatment will fail completely until the individual
is removed from the source of stress.
The sleeping place is particularly important; most of the trouble seems to come
when the bed lies on a dangerous spot, and although there are theories about
protective devices such as amulets, iron bars outside the house, etc., there is
little doubt that Kathe Bachler’s advice is best: simply move from the danger
zone.
The Architectural Movement
Safe siting of houses and buildings is now no longer the province of the Chinese
‘dragon men’, as traditional Feng Sui dowsers were called (‘dragon’s breath’ being
a Chinese name for good influences). Western architects have begun to take the
matter very seriously.
