Class #3

We've covered the 4 basic dowsing instruments. Remember there are others, we've just covered the one's most often used in the United States. We've covered the 3 methods of dowsing: Field, map, and informational. We have not talked about "need" or "do good" they are pretty self explanatory.

We are now ready to talk about the 2 critical conditions. The first is "get permission." There has been a lot of talk on the list about getting permission. One group feels that it is absolutely necessary. The other group doesn't care about it at all. In fact they think it is entirely unnecessary. There is undoubtedly many dowsers (water-witchers) that have never heard of using the Can I? May I? Should I? they dowse just as well. So why ask? It gives you time to think about what you are doing.

Our scientific advisor, Ed Stillman, when working with Dr. Matthew Kelly on the computer testing dowsers found that using the CMS statements seemed to calm the brain. When I first started to go to the convention basic dowsing school permission was not taught. If I am not mistaken it was in 1983 or "84 when it was first taught in Vermont. If you choose to use the permission statements and I hope that you do, they mean:

Can I? Do I have the skill to do this particular dowsing job?

May I? Do I have permission from the correct or authoritative person to do this job?

Should I? Do I have permission from the highest source I know (for me it means God) to do this job?

A yes answer from all three is required if you choose to use this method. A good way is to build this into your dowsing statement.

How to ask the right question is a GUIDE to help you be more accurate in your dowsing. We have what the scientific world calls an Ideo-muscle response. This is a muscle response controlled from the subconscious. When our subconscious is given instructions either verbally or by our actions the muscle response goes into action. I can best explain this by asking if you drive a car almost every day to the same place by the same route. Have you ever taken the same route but wanted to go to another location? Did your car automatically go to your regular location unless you were sharp enough consciously to drive to the location you wanted. It has happened to me many times. This is teaching your subconscious by non-verbal actions. You can also teach your subconscious by verbal request or commands. In other words you are teaching your subconscious habit patterns. These habit patterns are then transferred to our muscles and we dowse. This is the mechanical part of dowsing.

I believe that the subconscious and the super conscious are two sides of the same coin. I call it the unconscious. I also call it the High Self or the Holy Spirit. I believe that this unconscious has the ability to tap into reams of consciousness that the conscious mind cannot. You may call these realms of consciousness what you will. Walt Woods calls it "Your dowsing system". You do not have to believe what I believe. That is your free will.

Be sure that you are getting good Yes and No responses. They need not correspond to any others --just so you know what your responses are and that they are consistent. Give your instrument (your subconscious) instructions as to what you want it to do.. If you use the permission statements this is the time to use them. How can you get permission to do something if you inner self doesn't know what it is you want to do or ask. Talk to your dowsing instrument as if it were a very young child. Remember you are not programming the instrument, you are programming your own inner self. Your inner dowser (or High Self) does not speak English.

You may have to explain certain terms or expressions. The inner self communicates with us through CONCEPTS, SYMBOLS, IDEAS, HUNCHES, DREAMS, VISIONS, and INTUITION. Then it is up to our conscious mind to interpret them. How you interpret them depends on how you were raised, your environment, the culture you grew up in, your education, your experience, your wisdom, Please, please, just because you learned to dowse do not put your common sense or wisdom on a shelf. Ask your questions one at a time.

When you are new at dowsing it is good to write the question down and then read it several time to be sure it says what you really want to know. Ask if your inner self understands the question. If not reword it or explain what it is in simple language. Writing the question down makes it more academic and takes some of the emotion out of it. Give your inner self the help you can. Please do not always be testing.

The more work you do before hand the better answers you will get. Be careful of your wording. Words meanings have changed over the years. Be sure that your inner self understands the words that you use.

Once I was map dowsing for a man for gold. I told him he would find a gold vein about 300 feet west of a very large tree on his property. The only problem was my inner self was using my foot as the "feet" and not the 12 inch measure that is used in the USA as standard for one foot. If you live in a country that uses the metric system you would probably need to explain it. Be careful about using words like up or down. Is downtown and uptown the same place?

Another important thing is to get your conscious mind out of the way. This seems to be the hardest thing for newcomers to dowsing to do. Besides writing the question , a good way is to use the "I wonder"? technique. Before dowsing say to yourself "I wonder what the answer is going to be? Then just let it flow through you. I suggest you try this, you might be very surprised at how your dowsing accuracy will improve. Do not be afraid to ask a lot of questions. If any answer seems not to make any sense, go back and start over. Ask if you are asking the right questions. Ask if your inner dowsing self understands the questions or if more information is being required.

WHAT WHEN WHERE WHO WHY NOW HOW

You cannot carry on a dialogue with your dowsing instrument. It only answers year and no, at least at first. Using charts you can get more specific answers. Why and how might not be important most of the time. Who, what, where, are inherent in the question. In other words, if you ask did it happen at eight O'clock last night that is the when question. If you ask did it happen on 28th and Broadway that is the where question: was it male? would be the beginning of asking the who question. Always ask NOW. Time is not important to our inner selves. I was told that I was not always going to live in California. I asked if I were going to move. I got a yes answer. My next question was NOW? I got a no answer. It was two years before I left California and another two before I sold my house there.

If you get a hunch or a song keeps going through your head ask if your inner self is trying to give you a message? If you get a yes start asking questions. Our High self really tries to help us but we need to listen and do our share.

There is so much more to asking the right question but I think I'll let you ask me questions and i can be more specific. Keep your questions concise and precise. Keep them simple. Learn all you can about what your dowsing for before you begin. Use the famous W"s

WHAT WHERE WHEN WHO WHY NOW AND HOW

ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK

I am often asked what I ask for. I ask that my inner self always tell me the truth even if I don't want to hear it. I ask that I am not allowed to do anything that is harmful to anyone or anything. I ask that I can work through Universal Love. I know I am a human being and that I make mistakes but if the love of the Universe works through me, I hopefully will be a better person. I give thanks everyday that I am allowed to use this gift we call dowsing. The rest of the week will be to answer your questions.

Testimonials

As soon as I took the pendulum out of the package I could feel the white spectrum energy (Or some energy at least). It is a wonderful pendulum, more responsive than any other pendulum I have tried and I get more accurate answers than ever before. I use a test were I get a freind to hide a little piece of paper under one of 6 things in a halfcircle, and with this new Isis Brass I get about 9 out of 10 right all the time (So cool) And it is also good looking. Thank you for the great pendulum Best regards, David Jørgensen, Denmark I just want to say a big THANKS for the Power Pendant! I received the chalcedony and blue topaz power pendant from you a few days ago.  It arrived just 3 days after you shipped it! My husband bought the pendant for me as a "Mommy gift." We just had a baby son on December 1st. My husband told me to dowse the pendants to see which was the right one and it was the one with blue topaz...the December birth stone...which gave me the biggest YES and it was also the one I was intuitively attracted to.  I also love chalcedony for its protective properties, as I work with energy and I am very energetically sensitive.  When I wear chalcedony, it is easier for me to not be so affected by other folks' energies. Once I had activated the Power Pendant and put it on, I felt the energy immediately. Within a few hours, I was feeling more energized and less "fuzzy" than I have felt since the baby's birth. Today, I was surprised to find myself thinking in a much clearer way than I have since the birth and I was thinking about steps to my goals, etc.,....something I have to "get with," but haven't been able to focus on the last few months of the pregnancy and since the birth.  The baby likes the pendant, too, really cool since it contains his birthstone. He actually reaches for it and holds it while I am nursing him! In addition to all its energetic properties, I also find it to be an absolutely gorgeous and unique piece of jewelery!
