A whole new branch of modern science, geobiology, is based on recent discoveries about the earth and energy lines or fields. In the late 1970s, Dr. Ernst Hartmann, a German physician, hypothesized that a grid of energy lines emanates from the earth’s surface and circles the globe. Named the Hartmann grid, these lines were described as being oriented magnetically in north-south and east-west directions at regular intervals, and easily measurable with a simple device called a Lobe antenna. The resulting energy fields were termed “bioelectromagnetic (BEM) fields”; the earth reportedly radiates at least twenty different types of BEM fields, also known as telluric grids. Apparently, Himalayan monks oriented houses and cells for monks in such a way that they were completely contained within BEM fields, evidence, perhaps, that ancient peoples, too, were acutely aware of such energy lines. Researchers today are studying old Chinese fusui texts, as well as centuries-old techniques used in Europe, Egypt, Central Asia, and South America. Given emerging knowledge about the body’s physical makeup, interplay between human beings and the environment is assuming an even greater significance than before.

Geomancers purported to show that it was possible to divert or neutralize subtle influences which, for better or worse, could affect both the human psyche and thus society as a whole. Claiming that one of the most intriguing aspects of fusui is the timing of energy cycles, Mido Ryuji, a Tokyo-based fusui practitioner, consults a complicated chart of fusui energy timetables and announces that in 1984 Japan entered an energy-down cycle that he predicted will last until 2003. Right around the turn of the millennium, the energy flow should begin to improve, until Japan once again enjoys a strong energy surge starting in 2004.

Because both the Earth’s magnetic field and the constellations were thought to affect human well-being, fusui was critical not only in the siting of all buildings, from the simplest homes to the most elaborate temples and palaces. It also played an important role in the burial of the dead, a cultural practice especially important because of the emphasis placed by East Asian societies on ancestor worship and appeasement of potentially irate spirits. Even fusui experts have a hard time explaining how energy can flow from the dead to the living, although Mido theorizes that families share the same cycle or wave of energy. The location of a parent’s grave can thus influence a son or daughter. Mido counsels some couples to construct graves while they are still alive, especially in the case of an older man and woman who wish to marry. Since it is unlikely that they will have children, there can be no future energy flow from the union, so Mido selects a site of strong ki and has the couple construct a grave that includes their own hair, nails and items of clothing. From this “living grave,” the energy can flow out toward the couple while they are living, amplifying their positive vibrations and strengthening their ki.
