Mangalore, Nov 13: Ancient energy healing techniques are still available, and some of them have been recreated at Moodbidri near here.

According to their creator L C Soans, one has to see them to believe them.

Ancient natural healing structures such as labyrinth, medicine wheel and pyramid have become an added attraction on his 100 acres of farmland at Alangar near Moodbidri.

Dr Soans said that a pyramid, a medicine wheel and two labyrinths had been set up based on their original structures in Egypt, North America and Europe. Healing energies were not claimed to be substitutes to modern medicine or surgery.

He emphasised that these time-tested tools of drugless healing should not be forgotten.

They had proved invaluable and sometimes miraculous when other systems failed, he said.

Dr. Soans said many hospitals in the United States had constructed labyrinths on their premises as alternative drugless therapies for patients.

He had constructed two labyrinths.

He found one of them in a cathedral in Chartres in France and the other on the Island of Crete in the Mediterranean.

Moodbidri is known for its pioneering efforts in farm tourism. Soans Farm is known for its fruit and flower-bearing trees.

A Chinese bamboo grove there has become a major attraction for tourists arriving here through the cruise circuit.
