Dowsing:
The Skill You Need!
Dowsing, a type of divination, is a very simple skill. It allows you to investigate aspects of your environment which would otherwise be very difficult. Dowsing earth energies in our work (as well as other types of energies) is an important part of what we do. It is immensely useful for us in assessing what is going on. We also use it to decide which course of action will give the best results and to determine whether or not the ‘fix’ has worked or whether something else needs doing. And the beauty of it is that, once you learn to dowse, you can dowse on location or be on the other side of the world and it doesn’t matter. How does it work?This is always a good question, because nobody really knows the answer! You will find people giving you explanations which they say are the true answers, but they really are only possible answers. Who knows? They might have the one true answer, but, right now, we don’t know for sure. Let’s just look at some of the possible explanations.  It works because....
- The universe is a hologram and we can find all the answers everywhere in anything we look at.
- We get the answers from our guides and helpers (angels, maybe, or ascended masters or something similar).
- The pendulum (or other tool) moves because we are extremely sensitive to changes in electrical and magnetic fields and that makes us make small movements in our arms.
- The pendulum (or other tool) helps us to ‘tune in’ to our subconscious (or our superconscious) mind which has all the answers we need. (See the first explanation.)
- Because of Bell’s Theorem of non-locality in quantum physics, everything is connected with everything else, so it’s just a matter of tuning in to something to get an answer to anything. (Again, a lot like the first explanation.)
Take your pick, or make your own reason up. It’s immaterial, as long as it works!Is it a fraud?You are, of course, going to have people saying this. It’s only natural if you can do something but can’t explain how you do it. Skeptics are part of the world. It would only be a fraud if it was used to take money from people and give them nothing in return. The way that many skeptics have had their viewpoint changed is by discovering that they, too, can dowse. It is such a simple skill that it often takes people by surprise! What do you need to dowse?To begin with, very few things indeed. Then, as you get better, you can do away with most of those, if you so wish.To begin you need: - A tool: usually a pendulum, l-rod or bobber
- An open mind
And that’s about it! What about the tools? 
A pendulum is the most popular tool around. You can pay lots of money for one, or you can use any sort of weight on the end of a length of string, chain, or even dental floss!L-rods are also popular tools. They can be of any metal, shaped into a ‘L’ (hence the name). You can make them from wire coat-hangers, thick wire of any kind, or anything else that lends itself to being bent into that shape. They work by being held with the long part almost horizontal to the ground, and they cross as they turn in, or they both move to the outside (swinging away). Bobbers are sort of in between pendulums and L-rods and less popular tools. Here, the idea is that there is a length of material which has some flexibility with a weight at the end of it. Many bobbers have a length of thin copper wire with a weight or bead at the end, although they can be made cheaply from speedometer cable jammed into a handle! The bobber works by bobbing up and down or waving to and fro or going in circles (according to preference). Learning to use them is a matter of practice. Many books have clear instructions on how to start, particularly with the first two tools. If you want to find some good quality tools, including pendulums, to choose from, then I heartily recommend a visit to Chris Gozdzik's site. I know him personally and I know the quality of his pendulums. Just click here to begin selecting your tool of choice. A simple dowsing lesson can be found here and a more complex approach can be found here. Although there are a myriad ways of using dowsing, here we only emphasize that you can use it to confirm or deny if you have any negative energies in your environment, and whether or not you would benefit from geomancy.
