CHAUMONT, NY, June 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Robert Egby's seventh book in which he explores the peculiar earth energies and their powers of attraction and healing in the south-west has been published.
Entitled "Holy Dirt, Sacred Earth: A Dowser's Journey in New Mexico" the author sets out by asking the question: Is there truth in the much talked about magnetism that has drawn so many personalities to northern New Mexico, the so-called Enchanted Land? D.H. Lawrence, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Arnold Ronnebeck, Georgia O'Keefe, Carl Gustav Jung, Dennis Hopper were among the cutting edge celebrities who openly spoke of it.
Dowser and author Robert Egby with his partner Betty Lou started on a journey that quickly revealed that the Anasazi, the ancient ancestors of the Native Indians were acutely aware of both terrestrial and cosmic energies. The great immigration from Chaco Canyon to the valley of the Rio Grande River showed that wherever the Indians built their pueblos, they were always centered on earth energies known to dowsers as geospirals.
Geospirals are earth energies that manifest in spiral formations attracting and healing those drawn to it. Geospirals also repel negative minds. A dowser with rods or pendulum measures the rings. When found in clusters the energy is known as a vortex.
When European Christians came they built a cathedral and churches on the old Indian sites that contained geospirals. These earth energies also attracted and still attract people with creative and positive energies hence the enormous number of artists, writers, photographers, healers and movie stars that have flocked to the semi-desert region of northern New Mexico.
In this book Robert explores geospirals in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Bandelier, Taos, Arroyo Seco, the Earthship Community, the 1,000 year-old Taos Pueblo who are keepers of the famous and sacred Blue Lake, and the Sanctuary of Chimayo, the so-called Lourdes of America from where the words "Holy Dirt" in the book title originated. New Mexico appears to have a concentration of these geospirals discovered by the Indians, the pioneers and front runners.
On his journey in a remote mountain cave at 9,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristos Mountains the author finds an old Indian shaman in Spirit named Running Bear who still wields extraordinary powers of displaying historic events.
The author says there are other geospirals in the world and if you are inclined to the ancient Art of Dowsing you will find them. You may even have one in your back yard, if so enjoy. The book also includes a basic lesson in using dowsing tools, pendulums and L-rods. Follow the ancient leylines, kivas and holy places and when you find a geospirals meditate on it for half an hour and you will feel the energy revitalizing your body, mind and spirit.
The cover image shows Kokopelli, an Ancient Spirit Flute Player, an image found on many of the Indian petroglyphs in New Mexico. The book is illustrated with 23 photographs taken by the author.
