Dowsing/Divination A method or practice of attempting to foretell the future or discover the unknown. Recently I had an opportunity to attend a Dowsing Conference in Portland, Oregon. It was a fun and interesting experience, so I thought you might enjoy knowing a little about dowsing. Dowsing is a searching tool that has been used for about a thousand years to locate underground water, minerals, oil and other important resources. There are three basic kinds of dowsing tools: The Y-rod, and the L-rods which are used most frequently for finding earth substances (water, minerals, & earth lines.) The Pendulum is used mainly for (spiritual, confirmation, guidance & testing foods). Dowsing can assist us in gaining answers to questions that are not readily available to the rational mind or to analytical thinking. Dowsing is subjective and its success depends on practice and style developed by the dowser who sense, via a mind-body link, the presence of underground energies or answers to an inquiry. The subconscious creates minuscule movements that cause the rod to move or the pendulum to swing. Any tiny shifts in the hand will naturally be reflected as obvious movements in the weight on the end of the line or turn of your rod. What causes the small dowsing movements in the hand is your intuition. Pendulum dowsing is an excellent way of speaking directly with our intuition. If we approach pendulum dowsing as a 'conversation with the intuition' then our first step is to set up and agree on a mutually understood language for this dialogue. Getting this part right is the key to obtaining reliable information from dowsing. We must bear in mind that we are dealing with the subconscious mind, which has little critical faculty, and so, everything we ask and say to it will be taken literally. The considered effort we put into planning the language and defining the terms we use will, itself helps instill precision in our minds even before we put the results into practice.. And the more we attend to such preparations, the more we and our intuition come to learn about and understand each other. Begin by consciously swinging the pendulum toward and away from you, then letting your hand remain still so the tool continues to swing on it's own. This is called the NEUTRAL or 'ready' position. If the motion slows simply swing it consciously again before relaxing your hand once more to leave it on it's own. Now, ask a question in your mind to which you know the answer is a definite YES and direct the pendulum mentally to show you your YES response. If you observe all this passively and relaxed, eventually the pendulum will change it's motion 'on it's own' usually forming a circle (either clockwise or anti - clockwise) or swinging to and fro in a different direction to the NEUTRAL. This new motion is your YES response and once you have agreed it with your pendulum, it will always remains the same. Next, stop the pendulum and CLEAR it by grasping the line near the suspension point, with the thumb and first finger of your 'free hand' and by pulling them lightly down along the line, 'stroking the line' from top to bottom. You repeat this a few times while emptying your mind of previous questions and thoughts. When all is clear, you may move on to repeat the same questioning procedure again, getting your NO and finally your DON'T KNOW responses in the same fashion. Remember to CLEAR your pendulum and your mind, after each new question you ask. If for some reason you find that this exercise is not working out for you at your first attempt, leave the pendulum aside and start again in a few hours time. Should your pendulum continually refuse to provide a 'natural' response for any of the three 'answers' then, in this case, you may train it to move any way you choose to indicate that particular 'answer'. This is done by moving the pendulum in the desired motion while mentally affirming that this is the response you require. This may then be tested by asking a question and verifying the pendulum now automatically adopts the 'learned' response you showed it. Next, take your time and write out your definition for each term you intend to use in your divining work. For instance, if you intend checking for allergies using your pendulum, it is vital to agree exactly what you mean by 'an allergy' to a substance. Do you want the pendulum to show up on any substance which has ever or will ever 'disagree' with the person. Are transient 'sensitivities' which might last for only a short time, to be included in the term also - or will you use a separate term (such as the 'sensitivity' word itself) to cover these. Give these things a lot of thought, spell them out, refine them well so you get them precise and right, for this will serve as the foundation for your future dowsing work. Many times when the dowsing faculty seems to be unreliable the remedy lies in redefining our terms and questions correctly. The final part of the process is to relax quietly, ask your pendulum if it is ready at this time to have you input the terms and conditions you've settled upon, and provided you get a YES response, read the terms aloud as your pendulum continues in your YES response. When the list is finished, say so, indicating also that these conditions are to remain in force without change unless and until you modify them by going thought the above procedure again. Your pendulum will then return to the NEUTRAL response pattern. When your YES and NO and DON'T KNOW responses have been agreed and your TERMS and CONDITIONS have been securely input, you may move on to train and exercise your new skill. Practice each day, sit in a quiet place, take out your pendulum, breath deeply and relax your body and mind. In dowsing we always get our best results when our minds are relaxed and fresh. Continuous practice, especially for beginners, beyond ten minutes leads rapidly to fatigue and a marked deterioration in success rates. Now that you have practiced and feel confident open a "channel" of communication and receive the information you seek. A book to explore, "The Power of The Pendulum," Tom Lethbridge Have Fun! | |||
