" mInd alone is the cause of bondage or liberation; lost in pleasure seeking it leads to bondage, emptied of self conceit it leads to liberation. "

~ Panchadashi

Prema Sahitha nita karun aarthi,
Maha kali maiya ki,
Arid ala daranii, mangala bharani,
Dukh hrini, sukhadaiyaa ki.

Tumahi aagama bhava bharne vali,
Tumahi jagatha laya karne vali,
Thumahe kashta lagee bhatana para.
Aakara turata sahaiyya ki.

Tumhin prabala ho hari ki Shakthi,
Rudra bhava shankara ki bhakthi,
Thumhin janani patavaraa bani,
Ika sevaka Sundara naiyaa kii.

As many wise souls have come to realize through deep introspection of the inner workings of precise cosmic movement: the universe keeps its own time, out of time, in the eternal present through its cyclic, balanced, and stabilizing dance of energies -- the harmony of the spheres. While the present moment seems to be heralding great changes in the lives of limited human awareness, as the seething powers of transformation seek to bring in a new age that none may be able to predict. We may wonder how best we can go with the flow and not cling too tightly to old structures, whilst not being washed away with the next tidal surge. To awaken our own understanding of the eternal present, the art and science of Geomancy helps us learn to become aware of these universal energies as they are experienced on planet Earth.

The literal meaning of the word Geomancy is "to divine the Earth spirt". To "divine" is to seek understanding or knowledge through inituition. The accepted definition of Geomancy, according to most modern English dictionaries, is: A type of divination or fortune telling, that uses features of the landscape.
This may be only a basic explanation, and one that lacks true experience.

True Geomancy is the art of using ones own will and intent to "tune in" to the energy/information matrix of the planet, a living and breathing entity, and mediating those energies to the Earthly plane or surface world for balance and healing. Thus one is obtaining information, energy and guidance directly from the spirit or the planetary mind, also known as Gaia. It is known that those who have wished to perform Geomantic rituals in the past sought out specific power spots for an obvious reason. The energy of the Earth is stronger at these places, thus making it easier to "tune in". Those who have studied Geomancy may find that many Christian churches in Europe are built upon power spots initially identified by a Pagan geomancer, revealing an age when primal Christianity and Paganism shared many ideals. It is interesting to note that the word "Pagan" originally meant that a person was a country dweller, or of the Earth.

Geomancy is also a holistic philosophy for understanding the Earth and the role that we, as humans, may partake in as caretakers of the Earth. Geomantic philosophy assures us that we are one with the Earth and that the energy of the Earth is the very force from which we draw our lives. The art of Geomancy includes the performance of rituals, meditations and mediations that help the people of the Earth to communicate with their planet in a harmonic sense. Oftentimes, the role of the Geomancer becomes that of "healer of the land" or mediator of healing energies. This is the divine art of regeneration, restoring the well-being of landscape and those that live upon it. Regular group rituals are considered to be very important for maintaining planetary stability and balance while also seeking to cultivate sustainability of life.

Since ancient times, those who are sensitive to the spirit of nature have indentified power spots of land such as Sedona and Chaco Canyon in America, or Stonehenge and the Glastonbury Tor in Britain, to name but a few; making them shrines or using them to conduct ceremonies that put them in touch with the Great Spirit and the spirit of the Earth. Power spots in Europe that many of our ancestors worked with were used as sites to practice a form of Earth worship very similar to that of the Native American medicine wheel. These ceremonies were performed within a purified, protected circle, dwelling between the worlds to raise the power within; where the sacred directions and ancestors were always honored.

All life and matter within our planet's gravity field are part of an energy matrix that connects everything. Strands of the web also travel through space, connecting all things in the universe. Native American mystics speak of this as the "web of life". The Sedona vortices are just one example of the major power spots of our planet that are connected to this web of life. New power spots are emerging presently or being identified with the intuition and dedication of Geomantic practitioners. The art of Geomancy is directly concerned with working with the engergies of the web. Upon our Earthly plane or surface world, most people can best understand the web by thinking of it as the biomagnetic field of the Earth. The wave patterns of our planet's biomagnetic field forms the strands of the web. These strands have also been referred to historically as Ley Lines. These natural Ley Lines of the landscape or forces of energy connect all power spots and vortices. The web acts as a group mind for the inhabitants of the planet collective and as a channel for information from the planetary mind ~ Gaia.

Yoga does not exist in heaven above, in the earth or in the nether world. Those proficient in Yoga declare that Yoga is the unity of the individual and the supreme Self.

~ Devi Gita

"There is no difference at all between the Great formless Brahman and myself. It is only for the sake of the world that we appear as two. In absence of this manifested world, there is neither the male, female nor androgyne. Nothing in this world is devoid of me. I enter into every substance, and making Purusha the instrument. I do all the actions. I am the coolness of water, the heat of fire, the luster in the sun and also the soothing rays of the moon, which are but manifestations of my power.

If abandoned by me, this universe becomes motionless. Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Agni, Moon, Sun, Death, and all the other deities are able to do their karmas only when they are united with their respective Shaktis. This earth, when united with Shakti, remains fixed and becomes capable to hold all beings inhabiting it. If it be devoid of this power, it cannot support even an atom."
