Overview

Dowsing is the ability to find objects and the answers to questions that cannot be obtained by the 5 physical senses. The ancient art of dowsing has been misunderstood and condemned throughout history, mainly because it could not be explained how by dowsing, one could find out in great detail about people and places. Very often distances made no difference. Many in the medical profession and the church have now accepted dowsing as long as it is for the good of mankind and so it can be in many ways - ie dowsing for water, health, safety etc.

History

The 'Caves of Tasseli' in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, which were discovered in 1949, contain prehistoric cave murals, one of which depicted a dowser surrounded by his fellow tribesmen dowsing for water. The paintings have been proved to be at least 8.000 years old by the carbon 14 process.

There is no doubt Moses was a skilled dowser and the Chinese Emperor Tu in 2200 BC was pictured with a divining rod. Dowsing was known everywhere in ancient times by the Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians, Druids, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and the American Indians. The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra had at least 2 dowsers with her at all times - not looking for water, but for gold!

Benefits

Dowsing for health enables Medical Practitioners to determine and locate illness and disease and select the most suitable form of treatment and remedy.

Dowsing for safety enables one to check before purchasing to ascertain whether or not certain foods, drinks or medical drugs are good or bad for you, what vitamins and minerals to take and what quantity. Watch out, your body may accept or need something one day, but not another day.

Procedure

There are four basic dowsing tools - the pendulum (an evenly balanced weight at the end of a string or chain); the 'Y' rod (the old forked stick); 'L' rods (usually two wires bent into l's and held out in front); and the bobber (eg hold a fishing rod from the rod end, it will bob up and down and from side to side, or up and down to signify 'yes' or 'no' - this method is used mostly by oil dowsers).

Anyone can learn to dowse. It also works for non-believers. If you keep at it and practice dowsing exercises everyday, you will learn how to dowse. You can dowse for anything you can think of. Another way of saying this is that you are only limited by your imagination as to what you can dowse for.

As to specifics, there are 2 basic targets - tangible and intangible. Tangible targets are things like "Where did I loose my wedding ring?" or "I'm lost in the woods, where's my car?" Dowsing is also used to answer 'Yes' or 'No' questions. The answer 'Yes' is not a physical target. It is intangible. You can't touch a 'Yes'. Other intangible targets are things like auras and energy leys.
