Our planet is a vast and amazing source of power, an enormous storehouse of living energy that manifests itself and affects us in unusual ways. This abundant energy taps into our psyche, affects our biological signitures and can become a vital part of our well-being. The following information has been garner in order to introduce you to the importance of the invisible energies we live with , therefore I encourage you to open your eyes, explore and discover.... Ley Lines Earth is a network of energy lines called ley lines. These ley lines originate at power centers. Ancient monuments such as pyramids, stone circles, medicine wheels, shrines, cathedrals and other sacred architectural structures traditionally have been located on these power centers. Ley lines, or Leys, are alignments of ancient sites stretching across the landscape. Ancient sites or holy places may be situated in a straight line ranging from one or two to several miles in length. A ley may be identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, or it might be visible on the ground for all or part of its length by the remnants of an old straight track. Power centers are places where ley lines begin. A power center is created by the presence of both ley energy and underground water. The combination of the two creates a power that has the capability to not only affect consciousness, but also to retain the feelings of people who have visited the site. Power centers can save feelings and emotions in the same way a computer disk holds programs or a battery holds energy. Power centers are significant because they can affect consciousness and uplift the human condition. When power centers are amplified through the application of a specific set of design elements, they can have a perceptible, positive influence on people and the environment. Alignments and patterns of powerful, invisible earth energy said to connect various sacred sites, such as churches, temples, stone circles, megaliths, holy wells, burial sites, and other locations of spiritual or magical importance. Ley enthusiasts are divided into differing camps. Some hold that the prehistoric alignments can be statistically validated. Others agree but say that alignments continued in historical periods. Still others contend that leys mark paths of some sort of earth energy that can be detected by dowsing, and perhaps was sensed by early humans. The energy is compared to the flow of ch'i, the universal life force identified in ancient Chinese philosophy.

The practice holds that structures that harmonize with Nature's alignment bring good luck; those that disrupt the flow of Nature's animating force, or qi, are considered unlucky. Understanding the concept of qi is the key to understanding feng shui. Because there is no equivalent of qi in English, the following examples give a general ideal of qi. For instance, feng shui literally translated means "wind-water". Qi is like the wind, a natural energy source that is constantly flowing all around us. We cannot see it, but we know it exists by the way it affects the landscape and physical matter. Qi is also like water, an energy source that can be diverted to where it is needed and be more beneficial to our well-being. At the same time, qi like water also cycles endlessly from one phase to another: it is a cycle that if broken or interrupted will affect everything else that depends on the continuity of this cycle. This can be compared to the ecosytem of a forest where every plant, insect and animal depend on one another to evolve and survive. A decline or increase in any of the species will affect the whole ecological system. In feng shui, cosmic energies play a big role in affecting our well-being. Those who practice the discipline of Feng Shui have an intimate knowledge of the workings of the magnetic Kung-lei (dragon paths) which trace out the powerful earth currents and which appear to be the equivalent of the ley lines.
