Summary: This highly readable book sheds new light on the fascinating but hitherto barely acknowledged phenomena of Geopathic Stress (GS) - and, thanks to its clear and informative language and instructive diagrams, makes it more readily understood by a wider audience. GS expert Jane Thurnell-Read explores the growing body of evidence, backed by her own experiences in the field of Health Kinesiology, that points to the 'skewing' of the Earth's natural magnetic field as a source of human malaise, stress and even extreme ill-health. The feeling that living or working in a particular house or office is 'bad for you' is shown to be a sound, even primeval, instinct. Chapters explain the nature of GS and how its energies react with the body, and tackle how to detect it using dowsing and kinesiology (a way of testing muscles for energy stresses). Once detected, the solutions involve a range of holistic approaches based on Eastern concepts of yin and yang and Ch'i' energy flow. Self-help 'tips' include the strategic positioning of coils, mirrors and crystals.
