The concept of Earth Healing has changed
During the last years the concept of Earth Healing is changing. This is due to intense Earth Changes occurring during the last 14 years at the physical, enteric and spiritual levels of our dear planet Earth. The Changes that I describe in my last book “Gaia’s Quantum Leap” (Quantensprung der Erde) have gone so far that rather of “healing” the disturbed situations in cities and landscapes, one should speak of accompanying the planet in the process of its basic transformation. "Transformation" that in effect is also a transmutation, means:
1. That the planet is changing its material structure which becomes now more subtle and transparent, so that those finer dimensions of its existence can manifest through it, that till now were pushed back into the realm of invisible. We have to learn how to align our bodies and our consciousness with this basic trans-formation. (ie. moving beyond the existing formal structures).
2. The planet Earth is awakening as a specific "noosphere" (not just "biosphere"), which means a gigantic field of consciousness. This field of consciousness, usually called Gaia wants to communicate with us as awaken and conscious beings. We urgently need to develop language that functions beyond the framework of the rational logics. It is a kind of a mixture of imaginary, feeling qualities, symbolic images, sounds, movements etc. that I call "universal language" or specifically in my work, "language of the cosmograms". We need to develop and teach this kind of language to be able to collaborate with the Earth as an intelligent noosphere (expression by Theillard de Chardin).
3. The so called "Earth Changes" – Earth transformation process – can not succeed if people as conscious beings are not cooperating. We can end in havoc and turmoil.

This means that it needs to give clear information to general public of what is truly going on, while we are observing certain catastrophes occurring around us and show practical possibilities how we can avoid possible disaster by starting to cooperate with the Earth transforming process, which in effect is a cosmic process that can not be stopped.

In this sense, during the last few years I have developed my Earth Healing work (which is in my case a synergetic combination of ecology, art and spiritual approach to life) in following directions:
• Through writing books/articles and giving lectures I try to establish a solid knowledge on the pluridimensionality of the Earth and about what is going on presently with the planet and humanity regarding the Earth transformation process.
• Collaborating with different schools of geomancy (Hagia Chora, Raum und Mensch, Cosmogea, VITAAA) I teach how to experience the multidimensionality of landscape/cityscape and to develop human perception, referring to vital, elemental and causal dimensions of reality.
• If invited, I lead workshops with places and landscapes to address their possible blockades/traumas and to perform together with the group practical and non-religious rituals to help the needed (self)healing processes of those places to move forward. In some cases I use also the method of Lithopuncture.
• Together with groups of collaborators we are carving and erecting world-wide Geopuncture Circles to start the dialogue with the Earth’s noosphere and to communicate our decision to cooperate with Gaia’s plan for the further evolution of the planet.

If you would like practically to support my work in any way, you are welcome!

Since our modern culture is building large civilization structures expanding all over the globe, and at the same time ignoring the multidimensionality of the Earth, the life base of the planet is under threat of destruction. This realisation led me to create different methods of protecting and restoring the invisible levels of life which I simply call Earth healing. It is an approach alternative to the scientific ecology, which is taking care only for the material body of the Earth. With methods similar to acupuncture and homeopathy it is possible to intervene with the vital, emotional and spiritual levels of places, cities and landscapes and work on restoring or balancing the subtle levels of life.

My work is consciously based on art as complementary to science. Instead of the head-orientated view of the modern science, I try to promote a heart centred approach to the Earth, nature and the human essence, based on personal experience and transpersonal insights. The knowledge called “geomancy” functions as base for my explorations and for practical work. (See chapter on geomancy!)
Having experience in land-art and other forms of conceptual approach to art, derived from my work with the OHO group (1965-1971), I developed a method of Earth acupuncture that I call “lithopuncture”, plus different methods of Earth healing work that can be done by groups.

Lithopuncture is similar to acupuncture of the human body. Like the human body, the Earth is also a living organism with energy centres and interconnecting veins of energy - which one can understand as acupuncture meridians. By "touching" permanently the acupuncture points of a landscape through stone pillars, it is possible to get some positive and healing effects within the respective environment.
I call this method "lithopuncture" - from "lithos", Greek for stone, and "punctura", Latin for a stitch. Lithopuncture basically means positioning stone pillars on acupuncture points of a place or a landscape. The pillars have, as a rule, a pattern - a "cosmogramme" - carved upon their surface, which reflects the spiritual identity of the corresponding site and brings the consciousness level of the place into the work. In urban environments, where a stone pillar would represent an obstacle, a round bronze plate with an engraved sign is laid into the pavement on the site of an acupuncture point.
Lithopuncture and creating cosmogrammes are methods that are not reserved for my work. I teach them and there are artists world-wide who implement these methods of Earth healing and environmental balancing in their work.

I carve lithopuncture pillars together with my wife Marika. Our lithopuncture projects include:

- Lithopuncture of two castle parks in Germany, Türnich (1986-89) and Cappenberg (1988-92)

- Lithopuncture of the territory on both sides of the border between Derry - Northern Ireland and Republics of Ireland in Donegal (Orchard Gallery, Derry, 1991-92)

- Lithopuncture of the castle park Murska Sobota, Slovenia (1993-94)

- Lithopuncture project for Atlantis-Mariposa project, Tenerife, Canarian islands (1994)

- Lithopuncture for the cities of Villach (1995) and Klagenfurt (1998), Austria

- Lithopuncture for Rogner-Hundertwasser Baths in Blumau, Austria (1996-2007)

- "Star of the Alps" Lithopuncture Project, a cross-border project including acupuncture sites in Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Italy (1997)

- Lithopuncture of Circuito das Aguas, Minas Gerais, Brasil (1998)

- Lithopuncture of the Seeland landscape near Bern, Switzerland (1998-99)

- Cross-border lithopuncture project Austria/Slovenia in the south of Carinthia, (1999), contact Galerie Falke Bleiburg/Loibach

- Aachen lithopuncture project, Ludwig Forum Aachen (1999)

- Lithopuncture of the urban ambiences of Bad Radkersburg, Austria (2001) Nova Gorica, Slovenia (2001-02), Quito, Ecuador (2003), St.Veit, Austria (2004), Zagreb, Croatia (2004), Prague (2005-06), Bad Pyrmont, Germany (2006)
