Imagine a
means for locating lost articles or buried pipes or missing persons.
Imagine a tool for
communicating with your Higher Self, your Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels for
help and guidance. Then imagine being able to know this information by "seeing"
it visibly. Through the ancient art of dowsing--a very fine tool for amplifying
intuitive information--you can do all of these things and more. The applications
of dowsing are only limited by what the mind can imagine.
Dowsing is the ability to
obtain information beyond that which we take in with our five senses. Most
dowsers believe they are able not only to find anything anywhere but also to
obtain information about the past and present. Dowsing has been called Divining,
Dactylomancy, Radesthesia, Water Witching, Doodlebugging and Rhabdomancy
(divining by a rod), to name a few. The French used the word "sourciers" to
describe dowsers as "finders of sources." Many people associate the term
"dowsing" with someone locating an underground water source by walking about in
a field or pasture holding a forked stick between both hands. The stick twists
and pulls down to indicate the location of the water source. The dowser asks the
question and the tool makes a response to visibly provide the information.
No one knows definitely how
far back dowsing dates. However, there is pictorial evidence that it was known
and used at least 8,000 to 9,000 years ago. In 1949 the French discovered rock
paintings in the caves of Tassili which depict a man using a dowsing tool. In
Peru, a rock carving more than 9,000 years old depicts a man holding a forked
dowsing stick. Dowsing was referred to by the ancient Chinese as the art of Feng
Shui, and Confuscius mentions dowsing in his writings of 2,500 B.C. Depictions
of dowsing have also been found on Egyptian tombs. The Bible refers to dowsing
as both a means of locating water and as a means of the divination of
information for guidance. The dowser in early times was respected as a highly
intuitive and illuminated being.
Important factors in
dowsing are the tool, programming the tool, receiving permission to dowse for
the information, the question, and the dowsing response (information):
1.
Tools are the Y-rod or
"forked stick", the pendulum (any weight tied to the end of a string, chain,
etc.), the L-rod or angle rod, and the bobber which is like a rod on a spring.
Although there are many variations of these instruments, the material of which
they are made is immaterial.
2.
The tool is programmed so
that the conscious mind, subconscious mind and dowsing instrument are in
agreement on what responses indicate a "yes" and "no." For example, in using a
pendulum, the pendulum's clockwise rotation may indicate a "yes" while a
counterclockwise rotation may indicate a "no" response.
3.
Ask permission to dowse
for the information you are seeking: Are you ready and able to dowse this, is it
proper and appropriate to do so, and is it for the highest good that you do
this? People frequently ask me to whom I am directing these questions. For me, I
am asking permission from God, the Source, the One, the Universal Mind,
Superconscious--whatever name you prefer.
4.
Ask the correct question:
the more accurate the question, the more accurate the answer. Make your question
specific, logical and unambiguous.
5.
The dowsing response
occurs when the dowser is in the alpha state--relaxed yet observant.
When I ask
a question with my conscious mind, this goes to my subconscious mind which then
accesses the information from the superconscious and channels it back through my
subconscious. My subconscious controls the involuntary muscle response which
causes my dowsing instrument to move. This movement gives me a visible
"read-out" of the information I have asked for.
My first experience with
dowsing began with a request for help. A friend helped me resolve a conflict by
dowsing information for me. I asked the questions while he, after receiving
permission to do so, dowsed the answers. The answers "resonated" with me and I
knew they were true. Evidently I knew this information but hadn't been able to
access it consciously.
In 1994 I learned to dowse
at an American Society of Dowsers Basic School and then continued on in Expanded
and Specialized Schools of Dowsing. Long interested in health, healing and
wholeness, I was drawn to learning more about energies of the earth, the human
energy field and how the one affected the health and well-being of the other. I
found dowsing to be an extraordinary tool for locating and working with these
subtle energies.
Much has been written about
earth energies. Some terrestrial currents are beneficial and promote health in
plants, animals and humans. In ancient times, people often gathered to live in
these beneficial places where plants, animals and humans thrived. Often, these
areas were found on energy leys or straight lines or alignments of sacred places
where the current had a spiritual effect on man. According to Sig Lonegren in
his book Labyrinths: Ancient Myths & Modern Uses, these energy leys have a
yang or active charge and where they cross, yin or receptive energy occurs and
creates an energy power center. Many of these energy lines and power centers are
found in England, France and North America.
Not all energies are
beneficial to humans and their human energy fields, however. Through dowsing,
you can determine whether the energies are beneficial or detrimental as well as
the safe time for an individual to remain in that location. Detrimental electro
and magnetic fields may occur naturally from underground streams, faults or
fractures in the earth or from such man-made sources as high power lines,
transformers, TV sets, microwaves, etc. Dowsing can identify and locate where
these zones are cutting through a home or work site. Research by a master
dowser, Tom Millerin, has shown that these non-beneficial energies deplete the
human energy field or aura, sometimes reducing it over time to within a few
inches from the physical body. Normally a healthy person's auric field extends
at least several feet from their body. Research on noxious zones and the
correlation between them and certain diseases such as cancer and arthritis has
been done but mostly by countries outside the U.S. The good news is that these
zones can be cleared so they no longer affect plants, animals, people or
appliances detrimentally.
Before I go on site to
evaluate someone's home or workplace for noxious zones, I ask for a hand-drawn
map or diagram of the site in order to map dowse the information beforehand. I
also dowse for the presence of other detrimental energies at this site. These
may be negative influences such as non-beneficial thought forms, entities and/or
energies which have an elemental intelligence which can affect people negatively
and/or interfere with their ability to become who they truly are.
These non-beneficial
energies can also be cleared.
Dowsing is a fine tool for
working with the human energy field as well -- evaluating the condition and
adjusting any imbalances. Barbara Ann Brennan, in her books Hands of Light and
Light Emerging finds that imbalances which show up in the human energy system
(aura, chakras, hara, meridians, etc.) if left uncorrected will, over time, show
up eventually as imbalances or dis-ease in the physical body. My experience in
dowsing to balance the human energy field of clients is that keeping the field
in balance not only promotes health and well-being but also helps the body to
better cope with and handle the effects of stress.
Francis Hitching in
"Dowsing: The Psi Connection" writes that perhaps 5% of the population may be
"superdowsers" of exceptional natural ability. The rest of us also have the
ability to learn to dowse and to use this divine gift in all areas of our lives.
The applications are limitless.
