The sacred studies of Feng Shui in China, Vaastu Shastra in India and geomancy elsewhere have for millennia mapped the path of the Earth's subtle energies. They have endeavored to bring harmony and well-being to people, buildings and the environment. In contrast to the antiquity of the sacred studies, modern scientific study of the Earth's energies is in its infancy.

These ancient traditions were once specific to their cultures, but over the last fifty years, they have found worldwide application in all aspects of architecture. Interest has spread with the realization that our enviornments are more toxic in both land and buildings and are suffering from geopathic stress. A healthier environment is achieved by balancing the flow of postive and negative energies.

You may not feel good about a restaurant, home or building because of a negative energy field. By understanding how certain elements and features turn a good space into an unhealthy one, you can learn to make corrections and create a place of healing and well-being.
