What is Dowsing?

• Dowsing is the interaction of the mind of the
  dowser and the
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  energy of the
  object of interest. Most dowsing is used to find
  water and minerals. It has been used to find lost
  objects, even people. Also man can use it in
  order to dowse the suggestive energy field
  surrounding objects, animals and people.

The History of Dowsing

• Dowsing is reported to date back approximately
  7000 years. It is accepted, however, that the
  Egyptians used images of forked rods in some of
  their artwork as did the Ancient Chinese kings.
  In Europe, it was known for dowsing to be used in
  the Middle Ages to find coal deposits.
• Today it is a skill used by authority .For
  example police use dowsers to find where murder
  victims are located.

The Act of Dowsing

• The person, who does the dowsing, is called the
  dowser. Map dowsers use a dowsing device, usually
  a pendulum, over maps to locate oil, minerals,
  persons, water, etc. However, the prototype of a
  dowser is the field dowser who walks around an
  area using a forked stick to locate underground
  water.

The types of Dowsing

• Map dowsing is achieved without physically being
  at a site. It requires a dowsing map which could
  be any map of the location you are searching
  within. A pendulum or rod could be used. The
  pendulum is held over the map and will indicate
  when asked to show the target area by swinging or
  moving.
• On sight dowsing is when the dowser is physically
  present at the location where he/she is searching.

Dowsing Tools

• Pendulums The most used dowsing device, which
  are suitable for finding lost objects and working
  with maps and charts.
• L-rodsAre often used to track energy lines of
  varying qualities or to scan areas other energy
  fields.
• BobberA versatile tool which is suitable for use
  inside and out, consisting of a handle and a
  small weight on the end.
• V-rodTends to be used exclusively for water
  divining. They are also good for outside work.

Does Dowsing work?

• Some theorize there is a psychic connection
  established between the dowser and the object.
  The dowser, by concentrating on the hidden
  object, is somehow able to tune in to the energy
  force of the object which, in turn, forces the
  dowsing rod or stick to move.
• Skeptics, of course, say that dowsing doesn't
  work at all. Dowsers are said to be either lucky
  or they have good instincts or trained knowledge
  for where water, minerals can be found. For
  believer or skeptic, there's no definitive proof
  either way. Albert Einstein, however, was
  convinced of the authenticity of dowsing.
