Take n i n e p y r a m i d s of 9.54" base length.

It is advisable to make an accurate drawing and first locate the centre point on the drawing. Fix the coordinates of the centre which can then be transferred to the actual plot and the exact centre determined.

To actually transfer the centre point to the plot you need three or four fixing dimensions. Select the dimensions as under. This is to only make sure that while transferring and fixing the point on the actual plot you d o not err.

T h e s e p o i n t s are to b e u s e d if you a r e u n a b l e to j o i n the diagonals. Even if you are able to join the diagonals it is always better to d o u b l e c h e c k t h e c e n t r e p o i n t l o c a t i o n b y d e t e r m i n i n g t h e p o i n t f r o m an a l t e r n a t i v e reference point. After y o u fix the centre point drive a peg at that point so that the location can be easily located when n e e d e d .
If h o w e v e r the plot is o d d shaped a n d / o r very large then you have to seek the help of a technocrat specializing in c o m p u t e r aided design to determine the exact centre of gravity.
An odd shaped plot can be in any shape such as shown below. These are just a f e w examples. There can b e no end to the shape of o d d s h a p e d plots. However the shape of the plot or the levels should not matter as far as the m e t h o d of correction is concerned which is the same for all plots.
I have shown the centre points in odd shaped plots just for y o u to see h o w m u c h the actual position can v a r y d e p e n d i n g on the s h a p e of the plot.

In case of large plots, r u n n i n g into a couple of acres it will be necessary to first get the survey done. This survey is called contour survey a n d authorised surveyors in your area whose addresses you can find in the yellow pages will u n d e r t a k e this w o r k . T h i s s u r v e y h a s to b e d o n e b y professional surveyors w h o use certain instruments at the end of which you will be given a contour survey map.
This m a p shows on a smaller scale how actually an irregular plot looks. You h a v e to then take this m a p to a c o m p u t e r centre who h a v e c a d / c a m facility. Most of the professional centers who service the architects have such facility. If you handover the contour m a p to them they can with the help of computer pin point the centre of gravity on your drawing.
W i t h t h e h e l p of r e f e r e n c e p o i n t s y o u h a v e to determine the actual centre on your plot.
T h e best way would b e to first inform the surveyor to indicate some reference points like trees, mounds, ant hills etc. on the plot. If n o n e of these are available then you may erect four poles at a r o u n d the centre and ask- the surveyor to indicate their location in the drawing.
O n c e this information is available it is easy to relate the centre point to each pole. Your cad engineer will exactly tell you the distance of each pole from the centre. With the help this information you can easily locate the centre as you
will h a v e four dimensions to fix the point. If you still feel unsure of yourself seek the help of a professional to locate
t h e ( e n t v e .
O n e another method of locating the centre of gravity is given below. In case you have no access to the computer C A D / C A M facility then you can a d o p t this m e t h o d . H o w e v e r for this also you need a contour map. Preferably get the contour reduced to d o u b l e foolscap size by using a size reduction xerox. Now take a card b o a r d of a b o u t 5 m m thick. Paste the paper firmly to the cardboard sheet. Cut the card board on the lines of contour using a hard and sharp knife. Now you have a cardboard sheet which has a contour similar to your plot.
Keep the c a r d b o a r d sheet in front of you on a table.
Make three small pin holes using a nail on all three sides as shown in the figure.

Insert a long nail in hole 'A' and lift the board so that bo;nd hangs by the nail. Now take a p l u m b line and tie

Again insert in hole 'B' a n d r e p e a t the exercise. Both the lines cross at a point on the cardboard which is the centre of gravity 'G' of your plot. Repeat the experiment with the thread inserted in hole ' C and hole 'D'. If you have done the experiment correctly the lines will cross at the same point as the lines from A' and 'B' did.
Now transfer the point to your plot b y taking some r e f e r e n c e d i m e n s i o n s . This m e t h o d can be u s e d if you c a n n o t go through c o m p u t e r design for s o m e reason or other.
T h e p y r a m i d combination
T h e nine n u m b e r of pyramids are to placed as under;
At the centre point dig a pit 1.25 mtr x 1 .25 mtrs.
Place the pyramid in the centre of each pit. After the pyramids are placed the pit will look as under;
[Note: Here also you must try both methods of
alignment before deciding on one)
Take sufficient quantity of small pebbles similar to those used in fish tanks. Your local aquarium shop will supply this m a t e r i a l to you. Fill t h e pit carefully using the p e b b l e s without disturbing the position of the pyramids. W h e n the apex of the pyramid is just visible stop filling.
Cover the pyramid with a flat asbestos sheet for the full pit size.
If you are working on a large plot it is better to cardon off t h e a r e a with a b a r r i c a d e a n d t h e n d o l a n d s c a p i n g around the pit so that vehicles do not pass over it. This will

L e t us s p e c u l a t e h o w t h i s p y r a m i d combination works.
First of all we have to u n d e r s t a n d h o w a vaastu defect, interferes with energy liberation in a plot.
See the following figure. You can see that a square and level plot c o m p o u n d e d on all four sides establishes an energy flow from Northeast to Southwest.
O n e factor here should be borne in mind. Note that it is the plot which g e n e r a t e s the energy and the structure r e c e i v e s it. T h e o r i t i c a l l y t h e r e f o r e t h r e e things can go wrong.
1. T h e Plot g e n e r a t e s the e n e r g y r e q u i r e d as it is according to Vaastu but the building is so oriented that it does not receive it.
2. The building is as per Vaastu but the plot does not generate enough energy as it is against vaastu.
3. B o t h t h e p l o t a n d t h e b u i l d i n g a r e against vaastu.
In all these cases a distorted field is present in t h e b u i l d i n g w h i c h eventually affects the health a n d happiness of inmates.
We will n o w s e e h o w p l o t d e f e c t s c a n r e s u l t in distortion.
Please see the following figure. I have represented a square plot electrically to m a k e it clear how energy flow takes place.

A plot generates a distorted field if the energy lines get d i s t u r b e d .

In these f i g u r e s I h a v e s h o w n t h e p r o j e c t i o n s at undesirable corners. You can see because of the projections the intensity of the field at the respective c o r n e r s gets e n o r m o u s l y i n c r e a s e d . Because of a d i s t u r b e d angle at Northeast which is now obtuse, the flow only takes place
u p t o t h e E a s t c o r n e r w h i c h a n d t h e r e f o r e h a p p e n s to be m o r e negative than Southwest arrests further flow.
S a m e p h e n o m e n o n t a k e s p l a c e at an e x t e n d e d Northwest or extended Southwest. In Southwest an acute angle projection being highly negative does not allow the reflected waves to establish reverse flow.
In all these cases n o t w i t h s t a n d i n g the fact that the building m a y be as p e r vaastu, it suffers f r o m a deficient field.
To c o m p e n s a t e this we have to create an additional field inside the plot. This is done by using a combination of Pyramids. T h e m e t h o d of using the pyramids is given in the the absence of this crucial information one cannot really say w h e t h e r the c o r r e c t i o n is a d e q u a t e or not. We can only concede that the pyramid combination liberates energy. But unless it is equal or m o r e than the shortfall in the building it will not help. In case the shortfall is much higher than the energy liberated f r o m the Pyramid naturally the ill effects continue inspite of the installation.
To g i v e an e x a m p l e , let us say, a p e r s o n has an infection and needs an antibiotic. If the dosage selected is
t oo small to c o m b a t the disease then inspite of medication
lh e disease persists. If only the dosage is adequate then a
cure results. Applying the same analogy we find t h a t if t h e p y r a m i d c o m b i n a t i o n is to b e successful then it is necessary that the e n e r g y shortfall is completely c o m p e n s a t e d .
If n o relief is o b s e r v e d a f t e r the i n s t a l l a t i o n of t h e p y r a m i d you can conclude that the e n e r g y s u p p l e m e n t is n o t a d e q u a t e . O n e c o m f o r t i n g t h i n g h e r e is t h a t t h e P y r a m i d c o m b i n a t i o n is not e x p e n s i v e to install. H e n c e e v e n if it f a i l s y o u will n o t h a v e i n c u r r e d a h e a v y e x p e n d i t u r e . W h e n no alternative, o t h e r t h a n e x p e n s i v e demolition or vacating the premises are the only choices left, I d o n ' t see any reason why this system should not b e given a try. If it succeeds then the p r o b l e m will h a v e b e e n solved in an inexpensive manner. If it fails, draw c o m f o r t from the fact that it was a relatively inexpensive experiment.
