Dowsing......?

Question

Does Dowsing actually work. And How do you do it.

Answer 1

I hope this will help you.

The simple answer is .... Yes, dowsing does work.

The ability to find people, artefacts or substances by use of maps, pictures or physically being in a place are currently the most popular applications of Dowsing. Most dowsers use two 'dowsing rods' and/or a pendulum. The rods, traditionally known as 'Wishing Rods', are formed into an L shape and are usually made of copper although the oldest known material was wood, usually forked Hazel branches along with Apple, Beech and Alder. (It is said that metal coat hangers work just as well!). One rod is held in each hand and you have located what it is you are looking for when the rods cross.

When using a pendulum most people weight the line with a crystal, or heavy weight. The important thing seems to be the length of the line which the pendulum swings on.

Dowsing, scientifically known as radioesthesia, is the interaction of the mind of the dowser and the energy of the object of interest. Most dowsing is used to find water and minerals. It has been used to find lost objects, even people. It can be used to dowse the subtle energy field surrounding objects, plants, animals, and people. If we are doing energy healing, we can dowse the body of a patient before and after treatment, and observe any energy changes. If we quantify these results we can reach conclusions about the efficiency of our techniques.

The most popular way is using L-rods. These are simply bent wires, which can be pointed in the direction of the area of interest. You can make a simple set of L-rods by getting two metal coat hangers and cutting off the long wires at the bottoms. Bend one end of each at about four inches into a 90 degree L shape. The small end is the handle and the long end is the pointer. Take a plastic soda straw and cut it in half. Place one piece over the smaller end of each L-rod. This will be the sleeve of the handle, which enables the L-rod to swivel freely without being affected by the muscles of the hand. Hold a L-rod in each hand, pointing toward the object to be measured. Be sure the L-rod is horizontal to the ground.

If you want to measure the energy field of a person, make sure they are not holding or wearing any crystals or jewelry. Step back about 3 paces, turn and face them. Hold the L-rods parallel to the ground and pointing toward your subject. In your mind, or out loud, tell yourself what the L-rods are measuring. This is very important. Your mind is very precise. It will measure exactly what you tell it to. "I am measuring the reserve bioenergy field of this body." Focus your attention only on this person. Do not let your mind wander and think of anyone or anything else, or you will affect the results. Walk toward the person, slowly, keeping the L-rods straight and level. When you enter the energy field, the wires will open wide, the left wire going to the left and the right hand wire swinging to the right. Measure the distance between the wires and the body.

Create the healing change. Once again, dowse the body. Step back at least 8 paces, turn and walk toward the body, L-rods parallel and pointing toward the subject. When you reach the energy field of the body the wires will swing open. Measure the distance and compare between the first effort. The difference is the change you made by the healing.

You can use this same method to see if your crystals or jewelry have any effect on a human energy field. Measure the subject with nothing on and then add your object and measure again.

Answer 2

Don't know about using a pen for looking for underground water. Maybe I'll also get an unfriendly response from Don Joshua Tree, but I just have to say this: I've known about water witches ever since I was a little girl. The rod, or whatever it's called, was not made of wood. Anyone can make one from a wire coathangar.. A man came to our home after I was married. He was to locate underground water pipes so they would not be dug into with a backhoe. He asked me for a wire coathanger.. I asked if it was for finding water, and he said it was. He was an older man, and I mentioned the water witches that I had seen in my childhood. I saw how the rod was made and that it was responding to what he was doing with it. I asked if I could try it. He explained how to hold it and what to do and said they don't work for everyone. My heart sank. However, when I held the rod and walked around with it, when I came to where the water pipe was under the ground, it started to turn in a position parallel with the pipe. The surface ground was dry. The water was in the pipe. No one could have been more shocked than I! It worked, and I have done that several times since just because I could, and wanted to show the disbelievers. They were converted.

Yes, actually it does. You find a branch that you cut into a 'y' shape. Hold the double ends and walk wherever you believe water is. It will actually pull when you are nearing water. I believe it has something to do with the tree sending out roots to the water, but that is a guess.
