Jose AIID LENA STEVENS^69There are certain areas where traditionally health is poor,
crime is high, and everything seems to break down. There
are other areas where a constant peaceful feeling is sus-
tained, health is high, and people are happier. Typically, in
urban areas, land values rise in places of high positive en-
ergy. This tends to result in a high concentration of com-
merce or wealth, crowding out people with lower incomes
who are relegated to the less desirable areas. In time, the
positive or negative attitudes of the multitudes that live and
work in an area can influence the nature of the landmass
there. Rocks record the intensity of human or animal emo-
tion and begin to reflect that back. Thus positive areas can
turn sour and negative areas can be uplifted.
Even with the same neighborhood you may notice that
there are some perfectly reasonable locations where stores
never succeed, for example. New businesses open and shut
their doors within a few months of each other. Just a block
away, however, business thrives and the feel is different. As
you drive or walk through town, notice these shifts of energy
and get a sense of the changing landmass underneath. At
first you may not know what to look for, but if you simply
focus your attention on noticing the differences, you will
begin to get a feel for sensing the energy or frequency of a
place.
For shamans who speak to rocks, there is no mystery. Nor
are they likely to live in an area where the rock frequency is
inharmonious to people, if they can help it. That is one of the
reasons why shamans prefer to live under less crowded con-
ditions where there is more choice in selecting a harmonious
and balancing place to live.
SPECITIC POWER SPOTS
Shamans are aware that particular locations emit tremen-
dous amounts of energy or deliver a very high frequency of
energy. These locations can be tapped into for harnassing
power. Very large ones have been used by people for cen-
turies: Stonehenge, Mount Shasta in Northern California,
and the great pyramids in Egypt and in Central and South
America. Numerous smaller power spots are either uncon-
sciously used by local people as meeting places or are known
to shamans only.
These locations are empowered by the frequencies and
juxtaposition of the rocks beneath them. Some of the larger
locations are formed by rocks that have a powerful effect on
most human beings. That is why they have been noticed and
