Dowsing it Out

by Sarah Delamere Hurding

Ever wish you had a reliable full proof way to make important decisions? Dowsing it out could be a technique you may find very useful. Did you know our physical bodies are pretty much a walking dowsing rod? Your body is so in tune with your unconscious mind; it is in fact a manifestation of it.

We actually carry all the answers we need within us. We are predisposed and preprogrammed to sense what is right to some extent. How do we know for sure? Is there a full proof way to check to see if our senses are correct?

For centuries, man has used dowsing to find water, minerals, gold and other natural resources. There are paintings on cave walls in North Africa over 8000 years old, which show the use of divining rods being used in the search for water.

The way dowsing works is not completely clear or measurable. It is believed that the dowser makes a psychic connection with the lost object or the question being asked. Everything is energy, so this form of divination is a way to tap into the situation and read that energy. The physical body acts like a lightening conductor for this energy. The pendulum swings or the divining rods twitch at the moment of truth. This handheld divination technique works simply because we are walking embodiments of the truth and we do instinctively know things.

Dowsing is very user friendly, and we can all do it. The body can even be used as a divining rod. The simplest way to get answers this way is by facing north and grounding yourself in the earth. Imagine roots going down from your feet into the center of the planet. Your body will naturally sway forward for a yes answer and backwards for a no answer and will remain motionless for a you-are-not-supposed-to-know-this-yet type answer.

Effective dowsing can clear negative energy, and it can be used as a powerful healing tool. Dowsing can even be used as an effective anti-aging tool, chakra balancing kit and as a spiritual clearing technique.
