All About Dowsing & 101 Practical Applications

Dowsing, also known as “water witching”, “divining”, “questing”, or “doodle-bugging” is an ancient intuitive method of finding water, minerals, objects, and other information on just about anything you can imagine. In fact when it comes to accessing information, dowsing greatly outpaces the Internet, giving practitioners a key for tapping the knowledge bank of the entire Universe. Learning how to dowse is a very easy way to harness, direct, and develop your natural intuitive abilities. The act of dowsing begins with the dowser asking a question about the object or information he/she is seeking, while holding a dowsing instrument, such as a pendulum, L-rod, Y-rod, or bobber to amplify and interpret the “answer” that is received intuitively by the dowser’s brain or body. Dowsing instruments are mechanical amplifiers of small neuromuscular reflexes that happen in the body when a person dowses. There are many varieties of dowsing tools in addition to those mentioned above. The human body can be used as a dowsing tool, with this form of the practice most commonly known as muscle testing or applied kinesiology. The often mystified Oujia board is another example of a simple dowsing device. References to dowsing stretch far into our ancient past, with artwork from China and Egypt showing forked tools being used in what might have been dowsing activities. From the Middle Ages, there are written records of European dowsers using the craft to find coal deposits. The Divining Hand (Whitford Press) is an exceptional book by Christopher Bird that is filled with historical references to dowsing, examples of modern applications of dowsing, and scientific studies that have been completed on this subject. No one is really sure where dowsers are getting the information they receive when they are dowsing. One popular theory is that the information is the result of feedback from a subtle energy connection between the dowser and the object or information that he or she is seeking. Some people believe that dowsing information is being tapped from the subconscious or super-conscious mind, or the Akashic records, or an etheric, universal library. Still others believe that the information comes from God, or angels, or other supe atural beings. All that dowsers actually know is that the information does come if one knows how to move the mind into the proper brainwave state and how to ask the right questions. Anyone can learn to dowse. From there, mastery of the skill is just like anything else---it takes practice. If you would like to learn how to dowse, click here for a FREE online dowsing lesson.
