Dowsing Part OneProcess1. Plan what you want to do.2. Relax & become receptive.3. Ask the question exactly.4. With a blank mind start the dowsing.5. Record results.The QuestionThis needs to be direct, simple and unambiguous. For example, if you ask, “show me the direction of the nearest place that makes a good breakfast†you might end up being directed to someone’s house, so for “place†put “massageplanetأ© or restaurantâ€. When looking for water, stipulate clean drinkable water, you don’t want sulphuric water. When searching for the exact location of an item, say “give me a negative L-Rod response when I am over the targetâ€, or “give me a positive L-Rod response when I am at the edge of the energy lineâ€.DowsingIt is important to remain relaxed and empty minded when dowsing, so that your own thoughts don’t disrupt and affect the dowsing response. If you dowse the sex of a baby, whilst bearing in mind that someone said they thought it was a boy, you will get a positive/masculine i.e. boy response. So as you walk stay empty minded, and take breaks regularly so you don’t become fatigued. It is also important for you to take small steps and walk slowly as you may quickly walk over your target if not.L-Rod TechniquesThe search response is the one you begin with, which for L-Rods is similar to holding two guns, like a cowboy.The yes/positive response is with the L Rods swinging outwards, this is also the response that you get when you reach the edge of something.The no/negative response is with the L Rods crossed, in an “Xâ€, this is also the response you get when you are over the target.These responses can be used ask yes/no questions e.g. “is the missing key in this room?â€You can use a single rod to point to the direction of an item. Ask the question, e.g. “point to the direction of the missing key†or “point to the nearest plug socket to meâ€. Then slowly turn around until the L Rod tugs & stays pointing in one direction. To make this more effective, stand in another position and do the same thing, in theory the item should be where the two lines converge. The “tug†is a kinaesthetic feeling, noticing when it happens will enhance the accuracy of the dowsing.To find the direction a thing is moving in, such as an animal, water, car, energy etc, there are two techniques you can use. The first is the arrow technique, to do this hold the L Rods in front of you with the tips touching, like an arrowhead or inverted “Vâ€. Follow the line or edge of the thing you are following, such as an energy line, and when the trail changes the arrow will turn to point the new direction. This can be practiced by following a piece of string, above or under a rug.The second method is called the rifle sighting technique, for this stand at the start of whatever you are following, and then hold your arms out in front of you, with hand ahead of the other. The L Rod in the hand nearest you should point at you, the other should point straight ahead. As you walk forwards and come to a bend, the L Rod furthest away from you will turn first to point the new direction, and then the second one will point in the opposite direction. As you turn to face the new direction both rods will return to the position you started with. Both techniques do the same thing, so it is a matter of preference.If you need to determine a specific number you can write a list of numbers out and then move the tip of a single L-Rod along the list until the tip “sticks†at a number, this is the answer. This can be used to find out how many feet a stream of water may be underground, how many metres to the nearest pub etc! This same technique can be used with other lists, such as a list of colours suitable for healing a specific problem or a list of weather types that tomorrow might bring.Map dowsing uses triangulation, but with a map to act as a symbol of the area you are searching. The map only needs to be crude, not exactly measured. It is usually easier to turn the L Rod upside down to dowse over a map. This can be used to find lost items in the home, negative energy lines etc.
