Telluric currents (another name for Earth Energies) flow in the surface layers of the earth. The electric potential on the Earth’s surface can be measured at different points, enabling the calculation of the magnitudes and directions of the telluric currents and hence the Earth’s conductance.
In September 1862, an experiment to specifically address Earth currents was carried out in the Munich Alps (Lamont, 1862). Including minor processes, there are at least 32 different mechanisms which cause telluric currents. The strongest are primarily geomagnetically induced currents, which are induced by changes in the outer part of the Earth’s magnetic field, which are usually caused by interactions between the solar wind and the magnetosphere or solar radiation effects on the ionosphere.
These currents are known to have diurnal characteristics wherein the general direction of flow is toward the sun. Telluric currents continuously move between the sunlit and shadowed sides of the earth, toward the equator on the side of the earth facing the sun (that is, during the day), and toward the poles on the night side of the planet.

Telluric currents may be created when two underground rivers cross each other or from a deposit of metal or magnetic substances. The ancient Inca, Irish and other cultures built stone cairns or menhirs on these powerpoints. Stonehenge and Avebury are located on powerful telluric currents.
Apachetas are a kind of cairn, constructed of many large size stones. They were particularly important to the Incas. Using time-honored rituals, an apacheta serves as an altar or energy vortex, a portal through which it is believed a deep profound connection to Pachamama can be experienced.
