A balancing act

> When faced with harmful earth energies, we can either avoid them or transform them with the use of geomancy

EVERYTHING in nature has shape and energy, and the science of understanding the relationship between this shape and energy is known as biogeometry.

Bio-geometry is a design language through which you can design anything, and use it in any activity in your life, and in turn, adapt shapes which bring balance into the energy fields and the immediate surroundings. It could be a home, or office, or any space.

We know that the improper flow of energy influences the thought process and the quality of life and work of the individuals in that space.

Hence, aligning ourselves with supporting energy and countering negative zones is the key to a vaastu or feng shui analysis of a space.

Such alignments and fine-tuning could be a part of everyday town planning or domestic arrangements. Bio-geometry could be used either when putting up a new building, or adjusting an existing building.

It could begin with identifying a suitable site, and from there to orienting the building, and allocating rooms, bed directions, positions, and even décor, to ensure that the structure is supporting the occupants.

Improper flow or imbalanced energies could cause various ill effects.

Some of these include building structural problems, soil subsidence, and constant delays in completion of building works, muddle-headedness and sluggishness, lack of concentration, frequent accidents/breakages, illness, irritation and arguments.

One way to deal with harmful earth energies is to avoid them: move your bed, desk, or chair, 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. The energy can then be transformed or dispersed to become free-flowing.

The technique used in restoring the balance is called ‘geomancing’ – balancing the earth energies.

You could try to restore the imbalance partially by:

Placing healthy green plants or displaying fresh flowers in the East sector of your living area.

Have a wall décor in blue or green such as curtain drapes, paintings or artifacts in the East sector of your home.

Display a ‘waterfall’ or decors of blue and gold in the North sector of the foyer, verandah or living room. Ensure the water is clean and replenished periodically, and gives off a pleasant, soothing sound which is not harsh to the ears.

Add a touch of red in the form of bright lights, curtains, or sofa cushions in the South sector of the living, dining or even bedroom but ensure that it is not overpowering.

Bring in shades of ochre, beige, pale brown, or pink as part of the décor or earthenware in the Southwest sector which will enhance the flow of good energy and make the place vibrant, fresh and supportive to the occupants.

Adopting a design with proper dimensions and angles in creating a pyramid design on the rooftop of the house and even in the garden can enhance the positive energy fields in a premise and increase the comfort levels of the occupants.

A balanced setting, empowered by your intentions and goals, will attract and ease the flow of positive energy into many facets of your life, ushering in health, wealth and happiness.
