Since 1979 he has been engaged in geomantic and Earth healing work. In the mid 80-s he has developed a method of Earth healing similar to acupuncture by using stone pillars and positioning them on acupuncture points of the landscape. He calls it "lithopuncture". (See the list of lithopuncture projects in the chapter on Earth healing and Art work).

Autorův životopis (anglicky):
Vznikl otevřený geomantický systém, nabízející podle mého přesvědčení dostatek prostoru pro variace a další rozvíjení. A tak bych chtěl čtenáře pozvat k účasti na právě započatém procesu probuzení a rozkvétání: s radostí, vzájemnou tolerancí a pokorou před tajemstvími života.
Co jsem při práci na předkládané knize prožil, je všechny závory rozrážející procitnutí geomantického umění - nikoli lopotná výstavba kousek po kousku, ale zcela nečekaný kvantový skok. Chtě nechtě jsem přitom musel myslet na trní do spánku ponořeného zámku Šípkové Růženky, které v předpovězený den vysvobození rozkvetlo.
(autor v knize:)
Kniha je základním dílem k moderní geomantii s návodem na vlastní tvořivé osvojení si geomantického umění.
Geomantie je věštění ze značek nakreslených na zemi. Využívala se například při vyhledávání správných míst pro stavby a pro hroby.
Geomantie znamená věštění, odhalování skrytých sil Země.
