I am dealing with a difficult situation. I have started to space clear my home and I am feeling lots better; yet it has not solved my sleep problem. I am convinced that our master bedroom is located where there is geopathic stress.

My husband doesn't take feng shui seriously. He can sleep in our bedroom, therefore, he can't understand why I cannot. At first I thought it was the new baby and the fact that I had a hysterectomy at that time. I thought I would eventually get some rest in our bedroom. In the yard behind our bedroom we have an oak tree which has had a branch struck by lightening. Also, to the left about 40 feet away we have a deformed oak tree growing. I am disturbed about this. I am able to rest so much better in my daughter's bedroom. She is 3.5 years old and I cannot sleep in her room forever.

We have built on family property and my husband refuses to think of moving elsewhere. I honestly think we need a product from the Dulwich Health Society. Can you please suggest what you think might best serve my situation?

Karen's reply:

There are many, many causes of sleeplessness, ranging from purely physical to deeply spiritual. However, from your description, especially the information about the oak trees and the fact that you sleep well in your daughter's bedroom, it does seem possible that geopathic stress or electromagnetic stress may be the cause of your problem.

Sometimes one partner is completely unaffected by these types of stresses, especially if his or her immune system is strong. Or it may be that the problem is only on your side of the bed. So the first thing to try would be you and your husband swapping sides for a week.

Another thing to try is moving the bed to another position in the bedroom.

The next thing is to find a reputable dowser. Run an internet search on Society + Dowsers, then look down the list to find one in your part of the world. All my Space Clearing practitioners are also experienced dowsers.

The Raditech device available from the Dulwich Health Society (address in my book) does seem to offer relief to many people but I don't recommend it for long-term use. The very best remedy is to sleep in an area where there is no geopathic stress at all.

If the problem turns out not be GS, then you will need to test for electromagnetic stress. Again, most of my practitioners have professional meters to test for this, and there are details of how you can obtain a meter yourself on the Links page of this website.
