The Ancient Art Of Dowsing
Dowsing is an ancient art dating back thousands of
years. Paintings on cave walls depicted dowsers finding underground water with forked
sticks. It even seems that Moses of the Bible was a “Water Diviner.” The need to
find water has always been a strong instinct with man, and he has always lived near water
for his survival.
Dowsing is a fascinating practice that is easy to learn and a person does not need to have any particular abilities, only the desire to learn. When you dowse you increase your psychic abilities—many times you will know the answer before your instrument begins to move as you are focusing totally on the moment. Some of the many uses of dowsing:
Vitamins to take, when, what kind, how often
Testing foods that are compatible with you
Finding lost people, items, pets
Locating underground waterpipes, wells
Determining the correct answer to a problem
If household plants need food, water
What colors to wear today, etc.
The art of dowsing survived through the middle ages in Europe in
spite of condemnations by the church and has enjoyed a strong resurgence today, especially
with the new age movement. Dowsing as it relates to this movement though, is primarily
with the psychic and health questions a person may have. It has been said that we already
know everything about ourselves on the unconscious level, and dowsing is the tool of
communication between our unconscious and conscious minds. If you think about it, the
patient answers his/her own questions during psychoanalysis.
A dowser uses an instrument such as a pendulum, L-rod, Y-rod, etc. The dowser begins by
“asking” the instrument to show him/her what a “yes”
answer is and also what “no” and “neutral” answers are. After
establishing a program for specific movements to mean yes, no, or neutral, a dowser
can search for objects or any information he/she may want. Things can even be graded on a
scale of 0-10, as some answers are not a definite yes or no. Our unconscious, higher self,
seems to be able to access information beyond time and space. I personally find
health-related dowsing to be quite accurate. Accuracy will vary between dowsers and
increases with practice. Dowsers become totally aware of their
environment—non-beneficial energies, electromagnetic radiations, toxic foods and
beverages. By becoming aware of these things, the worst can be avoided or blocked. Have
you ever felt something so strongly that you had a “gut feeling?” Your
unconscious broke through.
Dowsing is fun, informative, educational, and can be learned with practice, awareness, and
a working knowledge of its principles. Dowsing tools can be purchased or made from
items you already have in your home. For example, I know people who sometimes use their
keychain as a pendulum. Dowsing, a skill, a state of mind, a mental-analytical tool that
uses the mind and intuition, it connects the gap between the thinking tools of
logic and the feeling tools of imagination, and it’s fun!
