These notes have been
prepared for those wishing to obtain a basic understanding of dowsing. It is not my intention to present these
notes as hard and fast facts, but rather encourage their use as a guide, and
perhaps encourage the reader to undertake further study.
It is absolutely essential each of us develop techniques,
interpretations and an understanding, which suit our own belief systems and
reality.
I must stress that the ethics associated with dowsing are fundamental
to achieving any level of consistency.
In these notes you will find heavy emphasis is placed on ethics and
attunement. It is essential that each
of us develops and refines our own unique personal process that will help us
enter the essential state of attunement.
The gift of Dowsing is available to all, providing it is compatible
with our realities. How we decide to
use this gift that will determine our level of success.
These notes are not anywhere completed to my satisfaction. Each time I read them, I change something
or add additional information. I’m
sure this will continue as my own knowledge and awareness continues to
develop. Please bear with me as I add
and change content as time goes by.

NOTES
ON DOWSING
How does dowsing work?
This is a question that has almost as many
answers as there are dowsers, and there is much confusion whether dowsing is
partly connected to some intuitive process.
Perhaps as we delve deeper into the subject we will see a definite link
between what we perceive as intuition and certain dowsing techniques, but more
on that later. A commonly accepted
theory goes loosely like this.
The universe is energy and everything in the
universe radiates some form of energy, resonating at an individual frequency
or, in combination with other elements, in multiples of harmonic, or
sub-harmonic frequencies. Likewise,
our bodies are made up of countless atoms and molecules representing many
elements, each of them resonating at a unique frequency but contributing to a
combined personal harmonic resonance.
This tends to vary somewhat with the state of our health.
Likewise, our brain and nervous systems
function through electrical stimuli therefore, we can consider ourselves as
sensitive biological receivers. We are
continually reacting, and perhaps unconsciously, to the resonance from many
sources. Furthermore, our emotions,
moods and real time attitudes are formed by the way our neuron’s fire off,
thereby continually altering the chemical balance in our brain and forming our
moods and emotions. Often these
affects are quite subtle and we may be unaware of what has caused sudden
changes.
Each millisecond of our life, we are
exposed to radiation from every source imaginable, radio and TV transmitters,
powerlines and electrical appliances.
Likewise, we are affected by the natural energies from the sun, moon,
planets, and earth and; as we all have experienced at some time or other, we
can be influenced by people’s attitudes and moods. I’m sure many of us at some time have walked into a room and
felt the collective mood - as the saying goes - “you could cut the atmosphere
with a knife”. We seem to attune with some people quite easily, even with
relative strangers, whilst others may make us feel quite uncomfortable. Our consciousness is continually assessing
the level of resonant harmony we have with everything and everyone around us.
Surprising, as it may seem, the subtleties
imposed on us by the advertising medium, suggests that physical appearances and
presentation are the first and most important impressions. This may be partly correct in the shallow
material sense, but, in the final analysis, the indefinable assessment provided
from our deeper levels of consciousness will prove to be the more correct.
Thought energies also, radiate well beyond
our physical surroundings. We know
that the collective moods or attitudes of a group of people can affect us if we
are sufficiently sensitive. For
example, we can experience the collective fear of our community if there is a
serial killer loose in the neighbourhood, or, following a shark attack at our
favourite beach; our fears are radiated to mingle and strengthen the collective
feeling. In a much worse example, the
hysteria that infects people during riots and mass emotional demonstrations
could be considered a manifestation of collective energies, regardless of the
justification of the cause.
Preoccupation with all these affects could
lead to paranoia, however, if we remain conscious of these affects, we will be
better equipped to deal with them. By
the end of this little book we should have the skills to step aside from these
concerns and the possible preoccupation they can bring and be able to analyse
the reasons for our feelings. We
should have the skills to cope, or, at least understand.
Perhaps by now you are getting impatient to
learn something about dowsing. Please
bear with me. All that has been discussed does have relevance to dowsing. As dowsing is nothing more than a tool or
system that amplifies subtle reactions.
It gives us a physically identifiable manifestation of our deeper reactions,
and, everything we have discussed previously will help us in identifying and
understanding the source of the radiations and, as a consequence, our
reactions. And most importantly, we
need to have the ability to use the information for our own benefit and the
benefit of others.
Our Tribal connection.
Most of us live in societies where the pace
of life and the pressures brought about by the demands of everyday existence
tend to inhibit our perceptive abilities.
We even use technology to divert our attention from realities that would
impact on us negatively if we allowed ourselves to be open to the
influences. Strange but true, we
rarely use music for enjoyment and pleasure, but rather, we use it to block out
unwanted realities, or, to try and recapture the feelings of some happier time.
Imagine how different it must have been
when our ancestors lived in a tribal environment. Personal survival and that of the community would have largely
depended on an ability to remain open and sensitive to the smallest and most
subtle changes in nature. To be able
to “feel” danger well before it became a physical threat meant that our
ancestors were able to survive in situations, which we can only imagine.
This sensitivity or acute awareness our
ancestors experienced, may be fashionably interpreted today as intuition. Certainly, intuition would have had its
place, however, it is almost impossible to define the difference between
intuition and other levels of awareness they experienced through subtle,
sensory stimulation.
Our ancestors would have perhaps
unknowingly, practised dowsing however; it would have been treated as nothing
more than an extension of the five physical senses.
This was brought home to me by an
acquaintance who, had worked as an anthropologist in Africa for fifteen years
or so, related an experience. He had always
been fascinated by the abilities of tribal medicine men to be able to identify
plants with specific curative powers.
The medicine man explained that, when he went into the bush in search of
a curative plant, he would silently ask for the beneficial plant to reveal
itself. This searching could go on for
days until he “felt” a plant was saying, “take me, take me”. We could assume from this little story, the
medicine man “felt” a sympathetic vibration with the correct plant. This resonant compatibility between the
ailment and the plant appeared to have been sensed by the medicine man. We, of
course could interpret this as intuition or dowsing.
Many of us in the modern world may like to
think we possess, or can recover that ‘primitive’ level of sensitivity and
awareness, but I doubt if many of us would be completely successful without
years of dedicated practice. Our
inability to filter out so many negative influences of our modern lifestyle
would lead to enormous pressures. This
is where dowsing instruments come into their own, by amplifying the subtle
reactions that reside below our normal levels of awareness, we could be well on
the way to emulating the medicine mans achievements.
In
general terms, dowsing can be very loosely broken down into responses that,
originate from the physical, emotional and psychic (spiritual) aspects of our
being. Lets take a bit of time to
examine each of these.
The Physical.
This refers to
our physical reactions to the resonance and radiation from our natural or
artificial environment or the combination of material elements that surround
us. This is the aspect of dowsing we
can use in our everyday life. It is
certainly the simplest of the dowsing techniques to develop and practice.
Putting it into
practice can be as easy as we wish to make it. Lets consider the times when we have felt ill or just a bit out
of sorts. We may suspect our diet is
not what it should be. We can dowse and identify deficiencies in our diet or
foods that are not compatible with our digestive system. I will explain some techniques later on.
Or, how many
times have we mislaid something and spent hours, even days looking for it? Grab your favourite instrument, ask the
appropriate questions, remain attuned, and the lost object will be found.
Emotional.
Our reaction to the thoughts, conditions
and attitudes of other’s either individually or collectively, and in fact to
ourselves (thought forms). By
understanding and, the application of some simple techniques we can use the art
of dowsing to help us identify and subsequently put into place strategies that
will help us deal with these reactions and emotional impositions
Intuition.
This
is perhaps the most contentious and least understood aspect of dowsing. In simple terms it refers to our reaction
to events that are outside our normal perception of lineal time, space,
physical consciousness, or reality.
Many may feel uncomfortable when considering the intuitive aspects of
life, as we do not have any real or substantial points of reference with which
to make a rational or scientific assessment of intuition.
What Makes a Good dowser?
Our attitude and approach to the subject,
will largely determine how successful we will be. How effectively we can
develop this gift we all possess is up to us.
A few simple pointers may help; we must become truly open, be willing to
have our existing perceptions and attitudes challenged, and be willing to
question even our strongest beliefs on a variety of subjects. A willingness to amend our realities is
also essential. This is asking a lot
and we can never be completely sure we are not letting our years of social,
cultural and theological/dogmatic conditioning affect us during a dowsing
session.
The best way to address these changes is to
treat the whole learning experience as an exciting adventure into realms beyond
the physical and mental. It is an
adventure that will increase our awareness, knowledge and understanding. Everyone can gain knowledge, it is simply a
matter of learning, but to gain understanding requires the practical
application of knowledge. Our greatest
growth will come from an understanding brought about by practice with its
subsequent failures and successes.
We all establish our own particular reality
and an interpretation on life and all it brings to us. Let’s consider for instance our attitudes
towards a snake or a gun. Each of us
will perceive these differently. Some
of us may select the reality that both are dangerous, whilst others may see the
snake as a creature of the universe with its specific role in the biological
scheme of things. And the gun as an
inanimate object that can only become dangerous in the wrong hands.
Often, early on in our dowsing experiments,
we may find it uncomfortable or even unnecessary to challenge some of our
specific beliefs or realities. This is fine; we should never push for change
just for changes sake that would be completely pointless and futile. Change
(evolution) will inevitably occur if we gently persist in remaining as open as
possible.
However, by confining our dowsing to those
subjects with which we feel comfortable, or, on subjects where we are willing
to consider different realities to those we currently hold, will help us become
comfortable with our progress. This
may mean some of us will only work with the physical realm, such as dowsing for
water, minerals or other material subjects.
Others however, may be quite comfortable working with the aspects of
health, emotional and spiritual dowsing or, even looking at intuitive
possibilities.
Whatever we choose, it will be based on our
perceptions and realities, and our accuracy will generally be in line with our
acceptance of these realities. The
difference between needs against wants must be kept in mind at all times.
Personal Preparation.
Much has been written about entering into a
state of physical, emotional and spiritual harmony before commencing a dowsing
session. We may elect to do this
through some system of meditation, or even through a mental count back process
that I have found suits me best. Time
and practice will prove that we are all different when it comes to personal
preparation.
With practice, it may only take 20 or 30
seconds to enter a suitable state of preparation, so please do not be put off
with the image of having to sit cross-legged and chanting ”Oom” for half an
hour, this certainly is not necessary.
It is important we each establish our own
procedure or preparation, that will help us enter the alpha state prior to
dowsing and, just as important, a state of openness and acceptance, as devoid
as possible of anticipation, prejudice or bias.
Only through continual practice will we
eventually evolve a method that suits us best. But be warned! Before attempting a dowsing session it is
essential we undertake some personal preparation that is compatible with our
reality and personality. If we leap
straight into a dowsing session without preparation, we will most likely be
unsuccessful and the information that we obtain will most likely be faulty.
Don’t be surprised if your method changes
or evolves as time goes by. Often we
will intuitively amend it as our awareness and confidence grows.
Furthermore, without adequate personal
preparation, we may lose our focus and open ourselves to harmful or negative
influences that may become manifest during a dowsing session. This can be especially true if we choose to
dowse on the emotional or psychic levels.
Dowsing Ethics.
Unfortunately, there are many who consider
that dowsing can be used for any purpose other than beneficial. Whilst this point could be debated at
length, and occasionally they may have some initial success, in the long term
their ability will reduce and accuracy will escape them. It is really up to each of us to establish
very early in our dowsing practice, that we cannot use our gift of dowsing for
purposes other than the higher good of all things. It is almost like establishing an agreement with our inner self. Without this recognition and constant
personal acknowledgement, failure will become our most undesirable companion.
We may occasionally be tempted to use
dowsing to unethically “pry” without permission, into matters, such as the
personal affairs of others. Without a
doubt, if we persist on working outside the ethics of the higher consciousness
and the natural laws of the universe, we will find our abilities diminishing
and our accuracy being severely tried. Such prying will eventually manifest in
us unwanted emotional states.
In a nutshell, if we keep uppermost in our
minds the need to ask three important questions - Can I? - May I? - Should I? , We should be able to develop,
quite subconsciously, ethical boundaries, which we will find very difficult or
even impossible to step over. Perhaps
I should explain those three little questions.
Can I?
Considering
my realities and bias, can I expect to achieve and accurate outcome free from
personal interference?
May I?
Is
it relevant to my life, wellbeing or that of others? Do I have the right to know or even ask for answers and
information on a particular subject?
Should I?
Do
I, or others need the information or knowledge that will be revealed from the
dowsing session? Am I, entitled to, or
even sufficiently mature to deal with the knowledge?
Another word of warning, after a few
dowsing successes, we may become quite unjustifiably conceited with our
abilities. This will inevitably lead to
errors. We must remain conscious that
humility is absolutely essential and regardless of what our ego may tell us, we
are all human with the potential to experience every frailty and characteristic
weakness.
We have been allowed to share this gift and
to use it for the benefit of all, and not as a tool or weapon to gain some
perceived superiority, or advantage over others for some unjustifiable
materialistic or egotistical reason.
Another point worth mentioning before we move into dowsing
techniques and instruments; is what experienced dowsers know as, “beginners
luck”. This is a time when early on in
our dowsing life, we may perhaps step outside our ethical boundaries and manage
to experience some success. Beginners
luck inevitably turns into beginner’s blues as our ability and accuracy falls
away and self-doubt becomes a heavy burden that can plague us for many years.
Like everything in our life, the ability to
dowse is a privilege. If we insist
that we know the best way to use it, rather than remaining attuned to the
subtle advice from the cosmic, universal consciousness, spirit guides, God, or
whatever our individual realities perceive as the source of higher
consciousness; we will certainly experience disappointments.
Dowsing Tools.
The history of dowsing is lost in
antiquity, it is recorded in many and diverse records of early
civilization. It is pointless to dwell
on any of them but rather just accept as fact, that almost every tolerant
civilization used some form of dowsing.
The methods and instruments used were as varied as each cultures
history. Today, many methods and tools
are used. I will only deal with a few here, and not in any order of preference
or favour. It is up to us individually
to find the tools that suit our needs.
But as I will allude to later, some tools can be used in a wider variety
of environments than others. Wind, body movement and other factors can be at
times very difficult to deal with when using some dowsing instruments.
Some of the most commonly tools used today
are:
The pendulum - this is probably the
most common instrument in use today.
It is simple, compact, can be easily carried and is useful in many
situations and can be made of almost any type of material. It is also used to provide more than the
common yes/no answer, but it does have its limitations, especially in the field
where wind and body movement can cause problems in achieving accuracy or a
correct interpretation. But in the
areas of individual dowsing, or in the use of charts or lists, few other
devices match pendulum for flexibility.
L rods -
Generally, these are bent wires with two straight sections separated by a
90-degree bend. The short length is
usually held in the hand like a pistol and the reaction is through a movement
to the right or left of the body.
Either a single wire can be used, or often, two wires are used simultaneously. The L rods have a distinct advantage in
fieldwork on physical or material objects, as they are more resistant to wind
or body movement than the pendulum.
The L rods usually require body motion such as walking to achieve a
reaction.
Forked Stick/wire – Are similar to
the L rods in capability and use. The
Forked instrument can be made out of wood, wire or plastic. The size of this instrument is usually about
400 - 500 mm long, but small 150-mm instruments can be used for map and over
bodywork.
Bobber - There are many types of bobbers, generally
they are made of a length of wire or springy material that react with an
up/down movement. As with the other
instruments except the pendulum, reaction is fairly well limited to
interpreting a yes/no reaction only, although a skilled practitioner may be
able to interpret subtle variations.
Skin Tension - dowsers who have
developed the ability to accurately interpret changes in skin tension often use
this technique. This method is quite
convenient where unobtrusive dowsing needs to be practiced. Generally, the
finger and thumb is lightly rubbed together and the dowser interprets changes
in skin tension. It does require a
great deal of practice, but often the rewards are well worth the effort.
The type of instrument and material used
for the construction of dowsing instruments is really a matter of personal
choice, all have their specific advantages and none require a higher level of
dowsing ability than others, apart from perhaps skin tension methods. It is completely up to the individual to
choose what “suits” them best or, the material they feel they are “attuned”
with. Almost anything will work; as an
example I can remember that some of my best results have come from a used
teabag dangling on its string.
PROGRAMMING YOUR PENDULUM (OR
YOURSELF)
Þ
Relax,
go through your preparation, and enter the alpha state.
Þ
Address
the pendulum as if it were a separate entity (even though it isn’t).
Þ
Ask
the pendulum to indicate what is the Neutral
movement for you.
Þ
Ask
the pendulum what is a “Yes” answer
for you.
Þ
Return
to the Neutral State.
Þ
Ask
the pendulum what is a “No” answer
for you.
Þ
Return
to the Neutral State.
Þ
Ask
the pendulum what is a “No Answer” for you.
Þ
Repeat
the exercise.
Þ
Tell
yourself that this program will be the basis for all your pendulum work.
Þ
Relax.
PREPARATION FOR A DOWSING SESSION.
Do your personal preparation and enter
Alpha State.
Have the pendulum operate in neutral
position for 30 seconds, let everything stabilise and attune within yourself.
Formulate the subject in your mind.
Ask these questions:
Þ
May
I ask questions about (subject)
Þ
Can
I ask questions about (subject)
Þ
Should
I ask questions about (subject)?
If the answer to any of the questions is No, either go to another subject or
leave till another time.
DON’T continue a session if an answer to
any of the above questions is No.
Formulating Questions.
Carefully prepare a list of questions and
number each question.
Questions must be clear and precise and not
be ambiguous in any way.
Before commencing your dowsing session, ask
if any of the questions are ambiguous.
If yes, identify through the pendulum which
ones require restructuring or re-wording.
Questions must be able to be answered with
a Yes, No, No Answer, Likelihood, or by some given value from a chart.
If an answer to a question is unclear
either delay the question till later, or try and re-phrase the question.
If the questions are structured so they
rely on a specific answer from a previous question, be prepared to restructure
the subsequent questions.
At the end of the session:
Ask if all the answers were given to you
were correct. If the pendulum indicates some answers were in error. Ask to be
shown which ones were in error.
Ask the questions again and compare your
answers, if errors still exist, re-check the questions for ambiguity, or, leave
the session till some other time.
Dowsing Material Objects.
In this aspect of dowsing, we are
identifying those energies that, impact on us and can be interpreted
physiologically. The dowsing
instruments we use give us a physical manifestation of this impact and allow an
interpretation.
Remember everything in the universe is
energy and dowsing relies on interpreting our physical reactions to this
energy.
To accurately interpret the reactions of
the dowsing tool, we must create in our own minds the necessary focus. We must develop a mental regime whereby we
can attune only to the subject at hand. It is very easy to interpret any reaction
of the tool as an indication of what we wish to know.
If we just wander around with our
instrument looking for reactions, we will get many, however, unless we have
attuned to a particular subject, we will be guessing or assuming as to what the
energies represent.
Say for instance, we were looking for
beneficial or detrimental energy zones around our house, it is inevitable we
will get many reactions from all sorts of energy sources, these could be
underground water pipes, power or telephone lines, or any similar source.
We must program ourselves so that our tools
will only react to what we are looking for.
This may sound difficult, however, with practice, we can achieve this by
just focusing on the subject in our mind and our tools will only respond to
energies from that source.
DO NOT, unless you are really confident, get involved in proving
that dowsing works, don’t do ‘party tricks’ for others such as finding a hidden
coin. In many of us, the feeling the
pressure that we need to perform will work against us and our accuracy may
suffer as a consequence.
Practice is the best way to develop
personal confidence in our abilities.
Dowsing is very personal, and unless there are really good reasons for
doing otherwise, we are better off not publicising our abilities too broadly,
especially to sceptics.
Remote Dowsing.
Here we enter and area of dowsing seems to
defy logical explanation, but be assured, it has been proved to work in many
situations. Simply, asking questions,
or dowsing a map or a hand drawn sketch can do it. The scale and actual details shown on the map seem to have
little impact on the results.
This method can be used to find almost
anything, water, minerals, objects or people.
Try, practice and develop your own technique.
Personal Dowsing.
If any subject will affect our accuracy it
is dowsing on personal, subjective aspects.
Many of us will find it difficult to obtain reliable results when
dowsing on personal states or aspects of our own being.
Generally
though, it is easy to dowse personal aspects such as diet, allergies and other
physical aspects of our being. But the
same cannot be said for dowsing the deeper, emotional or spiritual aspects of
our being. We can easily influence the
reactions of our tools, and even if we don’t, we will at times, think we may
have, therefore we will doubt the results.
In reality we can get too ‘close’ to any subject.
Surrogate Dowsing.
To overcome the problems we have just
discussed, sometimes it is helpful to enlist the aid of another dowser with
whom we feel attuned and in whom we can trust implicitly. This is referred to as surrogate dowsing.
Put simply, surrogate dowsing is getting
another dowser to ask the questions on our behalf, or, where the questions are
so personal we don’t wish to share them, maintain a physical contact with the
surrogate dowser and ask the question silently. The surrogate dowser will respond to the question and their
dowsing instrument will indicate answers.
This may sound strange to the inexperienced, however it can be very
successful providing the right rapport and conditions are established
But
be warned, total trust must exist between both
participants. The dowser must have
faith that you will only ask questions that are ethical, and you must trust
that you are not influencing the outcome (thought forms).
An example of an unethical question would
be asking whether someone’s partner is being unfaithful. Firstly, although
unfaithfulness is something that may impact heavily on a relationship, the
matter could be very subjective, as well; you will be asking a question about
someone’s personal life without permission.
The above statement may be difficult to accept, but always remember the
three questions, Can I, May I, and Should
I, if you gain permission, then you may feel free to continue. Please remember you can also influence, or
force the outcome of the 3 questions, especially if the subject is very
personal.
Likewise the person, who is acting as the
dowsing channel, must also ask the three essential questions. And, if the surrogate dowser is in doubt
regarding the validity of questions, which are likely to be asked silently,
they may also wish to consider asking the three questions silently to themselves
before each question is addressed.
More On Ethics.
As we become more experienced, we may be
tempted to try and locate missing people or children. In particular those who may have disappeared or voluntarily
withdrawn from family and friends.
Let’s consider the situation where concerned
parents approach us in an attempt to locate their teenage son or daughter who
has left home and refuses to make contact.
Naturally we would empathise with the parents’ situation and like to
relieve their concern. The question
now arises, seeing that the teenager does not want contact, therefore should we
attempt to find them? Or should we
respect the teenagers wish to maintain a state of isolation?
The experience the teenager is going
through at this time may be part of their life path and we cannot be expected
to judge the right or wrong of the situation.
We must not get involved in areas
where the outcome of our dowsing, affects, amends or breaches privacy or,
affects the outcome of someone’s karmic experience.
Likewise, there will be times when we are
tempted to locate missing people who may have been the victim of crime. We must approach these situations with
extreme caution. Although we may have
permission through answers to the 3 questions, we may in fact find ourselves
living of the victim’s experience as we attune to the situation. Although it may not occur during the
dowsing session, it could become an undesirable manifestation whilst we sleep,
or at some other time when we are least prepared to deal with the situation.
It seems that our investigation and
attunement to the subject can leave us with unwanted thought forms which will
manifest themselves when we are quite unprepared, and as a consequence, we may
have difficulty clearing or dealing with these thought forms.
The Use of a Witness.
The term “Witness” is generally understood
to mean a material sample of the subject we are dowsing.
Take for instance, dowsing for a specific
mineral, many people find it beneficial to hold a sample of the mineral. They feel it helps them attune to the
resonance of the specific mineral.
Likewise, in the case of dowsing regarding
someone’s health, vitality, or other aspects of their being, a sample of
fingernail, hair or some other substance of the person may assist us in
attuning specifically to that individual.
In some instances, a recent photo, specimen of their handwriting, or
article of clothing may be sufficient.
Personally I find it more convenient to use some form of personal
witness when working with people.
If the person is present during the dowsing
session, they can become the witness, however, sometimes you may find the
persons energy levels in such close proximity to you, may cause problems with
obtaining accurate answers. In these
situations, it is advisable to obtain a witness from that person and dowse the
subject later when you are alone and the subject is absent.
Often though, people may have concerns
about leaving a witness with you. It
seems the images of voodoo and witchcraft remain firmly embedded in some people’s
psyche, and many may feel the witness may be used in some unethical manner.
The question is often asked if a witness
loses relevance in time, for instance if a witness will be relevant in dowsing
a persons state, say 3 months after the witness was obtained. The answer is up to the individual to
determine for himself or herself. But
generally, the witness helps us attune to the subject in any time frame we so
desire, so most believe the witness stays relevant regardless of when it was
obtained.
Dowsing Health and Personal Aspects.
This is one area of dowsing which can be
very rewarding, and the dowser must have a reasonable understanding of the
physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of life,
regardless of whether one is working with people or animals.
Physical aspects can be reasonably
straightforward; however, when one dowses into the other aspects of being, the
beliefs and attitudes of both you and the subject need to be considered
carefully. For example, if ones belief
is in the continuation of life through reincarnation and the karmic experiences
facing us, and the subject’s beliefs follow the a more fundamentalist religious
path, then there may be conflict between our interpretation and that of the
person.
It is advisable to spend some time talking
to the person and getting a feel for what their deep-seated beliefs and
attitudes are. If we fail do this we
may find ideological and dogmatic differences preclude any benefit from the
dowsing session.
Our karma may run over their dogma.
We must also be aware of the enormous
responsibility we are undertaking in regards to dealing with someone’s life,
attitudes and state of wellbeing. The
subject must never be approached lightly, and often we may find that we are better
off not continuing a dowsing session, rather than risk causing confusion and
contention. If the person’s current
state is one of desperation and a desire for any solution, we may be viewed as
some sort of saviour.
Dowsing and Healing.
Here we deal with a subject that requires
great sensitivity and skill gained through practice and attunement.
Firstly, we
do not heal, we cannot heal, we can do nothing but pray to our
spirit guides, God or whatever we perceive as the metaphysical consciousness,
to direct healing energies to the subject. Often, it is best to work with a
group of like-minded people, thereby increasing the collective focus towards
directing the healing energies.
Let us consider a few aspects that may not
be immediately apparent. Sickness or
Dis-ease is often, but not always, a manifestation of disharmony within
various aspects of the persons being.
It is also said that often sickness and dies-ease is a way of
progressing along life’s path and gaining through the experience.
And again, the person may subconsciously
feel the need to experience the sickness or ease-ease. In other words, the patient may not be
ready to accept the healing energies.
But, if the energies are directed to that person, there is no lineal
time frame for the energies to remain effective. “When the patient is ready, or the Cosmic pleases, healing can
take place”.
There are no failures in the field of
metaphysical healing, but rather, there is often a misunderstanding or an
unrealistic expectation of the outcome.
One must also remember, as sickness is
often a manifestation of disharmony, the patient may subconsciously use the
healing energy in some way that is not apparent to us. The healing energies may be used to correct
an imbalance between the spiritual and emotional, rather than the expected
removal of the physical manifestation.
Remember - We cannot heal -
We cannot change the cosmic plan for an individual, or redirect the person’s
subconscious needs or desires.
Working With Metaphysical Aspects.
This subject can be very wide ranging, from
our spiritual belief through to entity attachments to people or inanimate
objects. Many will not feel
comfortable with dealing in these matters, but for those who are, it is
necessary to establish some fundamental guidelines.
In people, entity attachments are said to
be in the form of elemental attachments through to possession either temporary
or long term. It is best to identify
these by dowsing on the witness of the person, rather than while they are in your
presence.
When dealing with entities or attachments
to inanimate objects such as houses, identification can be done on the
premises, but be prepared for some metaphysical manifestation, or opposition to
your work. It takes a cool head and
heart to continue working whilst objects are flying around the room. It often
makes more sense to do your ‘ghost hunting’ remotely, either whilst visualising
the house or, dowsing over a sketch of the premises.
Another word of Warning - many of us may be uncomfortable dealing
with this subject and if there is any doubt - leave it alone - do not get
involved - enlist the assistance of a dowser who has had experience in this
field. It is very easy to attract
unwanted attachments or thought forms to ourselves if we aren’t skilled or
confident in developing personal protection.
As a final word, just as in the physical
form, we cannot judge or understand the lessons and experiences individuals
need for growth and advancement; the same can be said for entities that appear,
or manifest themselves to us in some discomforting manner. We do not have the experience or the right
to direct them to another plane of existence.
The entity may be in the process of evolving and we certainly do not
have any entitlement to interfere, even though their experience may appear to
impacting on us.
I’m sure that statement will sound quite
contentious to a lot of people, but remember, it is our realities which will
determine our interpretation and judgement of each situation.

This document will be
continued in more detail as time goes by.
It is not my intention with these few brief notes to impart any specific
knowledge on any subject or any method of dowsing, but rather, to provide the
reader with a basic understanding from where they can progress at the rate and
in the direction they so desire.
I sincerely hope you find
these notes at least of some small benefit. Comments would be greatly
appreciated.

reality and I wish you a safe journey on your path of discovery.
