A Year in the Field Author:Michael Smith It appears we have lost a valuable organ of consciousness.

Crammed with case studies, A Year in the Field gives a first-person account of the author?s experience surveying properties, clinics, schools, residences and accident prone areas around the Midwest.

The work of clearing the Earth of detrimental energies so a healthier, more radiant field of energy may thrive. It?s a new dimension of stewardship. The dimension of energy gardening. There is no boundary between our bodies and the greater body of the Earth. Outside is inside. By healing injured lands we begin to heal ourselves. Like planet, like body.?« less
