What really happens when one of the Earth's heart chakra is suppressed by a massive and insensitively placed building? Or when a cohesive landscape is sliced in two by something like the Iron Curtain? What effect do vast traffic networks have on the planet?

Restoring the Subtle Levels of Life
What actually happens to the earth when one of its heart chakras is ruthlessly blocked by a building that has been erected without sensitivity (Cologne Cathedral, for example), when a wall with a 'no-man's-land' cuts an integral landscape in two (the Berlin Wall, which still stands despite having been physically dismantled), when massive constructions of steel and concrete slice through the sensitive energy lines of the earth (road networks), when battles fought in past wars continue to 'rage' as a memory in the subtle tissue of a landscape? All this leads to blockages and imbalances in the subtle organs and energy systems of the earth which culminate in a life-endangering malfunction. Healing the Heart of the Earth illustrates this kind of problem with numerous examples based on the experience gained by the author in earth-healing projects throughout Europe.
Our growing sensitivity to the ever-increasing amount of damage to natural and urban landscapes would be expanded in constant lament if we did not take a third, practical step: one that requires the human being as the root of all these difficulties to undergo an all-encompassing inner transformation. This process of transformation in every human being needs to have started before turning to earth healing makes sense.
For the spiritual and energetic purification and revitalization of the subtle systems of a place or a natural or urban landscape, it is possible to use the healing vibrations of sound, color, dance and guided imagery, amongst other techniques, as well as the art of lithopuncture.
In the final part of the book, the author addresses the question of how each and every one of us can contribute towards earth healing in our own personal space and surroundings. Those who wish to turn lovingly inwards and also outwards to the living world around us will find an abundance of inspiration here.
The earth is our concern, the earth that gives life to us all.

Excerpt
"The most urgent task is to put a stop to this destructive vicious circle and to divert the energies in such a way that the original pattern can be re-created. This is how the wild horse is tamed... Love is the strongest energy to defy the accumulated powers of hatred. If you would direct your love in the form of the colour green towards the actual focal point of evil -- to [Irak] -- and in so doing work through your heart, then this ugliness, this sludge which controls people and countries, would dissolve and lose its strength. (The vibration of the colour green corresponds with the quality of love.) As many people as possible should take part in this work. It is not a question of [Irak] alone -- the entire world is crumbling under the pressure of these degenerate energy patterns. [Irak] only represents a space through which this problem is made apparent more clearly than anywhere else. The task is not an easy one, and you should not expect to deal with it quickly. It will take a long time until the world is freed of this pattern. But if you work persistently through your hearts and positive thoughts, love's victory is certain. I suggest the following meditation.
1. Imagine taking Planet Earth into your heart and imbuing it with your love. Weave green ribbons of love around it. Take care not to attract the atrocities of war to you but only to pour love into the space. You can also put in positive thoughts and desires.
2. In the same way, you can then treat individual places and countries where this degenerate pattern has manifested. Pour green over the space and its inhabitants.
3. Alternating with the colour green you should envelop the Earth or the space you are working for in the colour purple, which enhances the transformation process."
from the back cover of the book
"If we are to protect and preserve our environment on a global scale, we must do our part, as a nation, as families, and as individuals. The need for awareness has never been greater, and the opportunity for us to make a difference is just as great. If we practice and teach the right kind of care and commitment to our environment, it will continue not only to bring us its natural gifts, but also bring us together"
