INTRODUCTION TO DOWSING
|
What is dowsing?
It is an ancient art of searching for hidden things (water, precious metals,
etc) using one of the senses that many of us are not even aware of
possessing... reportedly 80% of people have this special gift - an ability to
sense things not perceptible to others. Some of these people do not need any
extra tools to do that - they just KNOW where is the best place to dig a well
or where the gold treasure is hidden. Most people (including me) require a "prosthesis" that will help them to focus and read their body signals better. This is what dowsing rods are for... There are many different types and varieties of dowsing rods: from classical, Y-shaped to so called "Swiss" rods, which I will describe below. In fact, every dowser has his/her preference when it comes to this tool and majority of them make their own, unique rods (that they believe, work better than any other). Why would anyone bother to dowse? Most of us don't need a well in their
backyard and it is probably easier to use a metal detector to search for
gold... Well, people in In fact, most of the castles, palaces, churches, hospitals and homes in
the past were built after consultation with a dowser... The place to build a
house was chosen carefully and if it was impossible to avoid building over
underground sources of "radiation", different methods were used to
neutralize it. A common practice was to add some organic material (blood,
eggs, etc) to the cement used for the construction... How can you tell if you are sleeping or working in an unhealthy spot?
Some people just don't sleep very well in places like that - they may wake up
tired, with headache... Others need help from a dowser. If there is no
dowsers around, your pets can help you. Yes, your pets! Their instincts are
not numbed by civilization like ours - thus they can use them to pick safe
places to rest. Apparently dogs tend to choose healthy places to sleep, while
cats like to sleep in places unhealthy for people. Other animals and plants
can be also used as a guidance: ants like to build their hills over spots
with high "radiation" levels and mistletoe grows exclusively over
such spots. You can also try to become a dowser yourself... Remember? 80% of us can do that... Follow the instructions below to test your dowsing skills.... |
STEP 1: Making your own dowsing rods
|
|
You will need two metal rods, each about 50 cm (20 inches)
in length. You can use an old shirt hanger as a source of wire. You need to
bend the wire (see the picture) to obtain two identical rods with
"handles", so that there is a straight angle (90 degrees) between
the handle and the main part of the rod. The handles should be approx. 10 cm
(4 in) long. |
|
|
I found it helpful to place several wooden beads on the
handle. These beads should rotate easily. You can add a tightly fitting bead at
the bottom of the handle to prevent other beads from sliding off the handle.
This way balancing and holding the rods is much easier. |
STEP 2: Holding your
dowsing rods
|
|
It is crucial to hold the rods properly. You should
place the handle of the dowsing rod in the middle of your palm, then close
your hand. |
|
|
Do not squeeze the rods too tight, they will not move.
Hold them in such a way that the main part of the rod is parallel to the ground
and attempt to keep them in that position at all times. |
|
|
This is how properly held rods look like from above.
They should be parallel to each other when you start your exercise. |
STEP 3: Using your dowsing rods
|
|
Now is the time to test your new rods. Start walking
slowly along a straight line holding the rods as described above. |
|
|
You may notice that your rods move "by
themselves" and cross over certain points as depicted on the drawing on the
left. Remember location of these points and walk over them again - if you get
same results repeatedly - you probably have talent for dowsing... GOOD LUCK ! |
NOTE:
The use of Beads is not a requirement for proper operation
in the dowsing rods – simply remember not to hold the metal handles too tight
if you don’t use beads.
The secret is to walk VERY SLOWLY with the rod
pointed away from your body (straight ahead), as level as possible. When you
find a grave the rod will move toward your body, as you walk past the grave the
rod will move away from your body to its original position. Once you identify a
potential grave, walk the immediate area (3’X6’) to determine orientation of
the internment. Use ground flags to mark the four corners of each grave.
If internments are in a family plot (potentially 6 to 8
burials) you may get a reading within inches of the previous grave.
Not every one has success dowsing. If you don’t have
success hand the rods to someone else and let them try. Most people I've taught
can dowse.
Windy conditions will make the rods move without
verifying a burial, try to only dowse on calm days. Or stand with your back to
the wind when dowsing.
