Pendulum Scrying: How to Use a Pendulum for Divination

A Pendulum can be made from a paper-clip on a piece of cotton thread, a brass weight on a string, or a cannon ball on a chain (if you are strong enough to lift it !). Some people use key tags or a crystal on a metal chain. A glass bead, about 3/8 th. inch ( 1 cm) diameter (spherical or pear-shaped) suspended by about 15 inches (40 cm) of braided thread (e.g. a shoe lace) is a good compromise.

First bond together with your Pendulum as a team, and let the Force for Good be with you - so hold your Pendulum in your ‘other’ hand (left, if you are right-handed) and say:

"I, (your name), the owner of this Pendulum, declare that only the Force for Good can respond to my quests when using this Pendulum or any other Dowsing tool; I promise to use my Pendulum only for Good."

It is important to realize - and remember - that using your Pendulum is not a game, but a means of helping your conscious self to work closely with the Force for Good - your Spirit Guides can help by acting as your 'Gatekeeper', and as your link to spirit world. It may connect you to other souls, and may give you access to universal knowledge.

You have direct access to your Soul, your Mind, and to the creations of man such as cars and computers; you can contact animals and vegetation, providing that you have the permission of their Devas. We call this whole method of using Dowsing "The System".

You should be in a state of serious focus when using your Pendulum. This means being really sincere and honest, concentrating on what you are saying and thinking - and thinking only good thoughts.

You may also find that taking a ‘Pranic Breath’ helps your Dowsing: Place your conscious awareness at the top of your nose / between your eyes; breathe deeply, feeling the breath with your conscious awareness; exhale, moving your conscious awareness straight back into your head. You may feel yourself expand, and your ‘mind chatter’ will usually lessen.

Because using your Pendulum is such a serious business it presents a problem; if you only use your Pendulum for serious matters then how do you get the practice that you need to learn (and to teach others) to become proficient ?

The answer lies in asking The System for permission to practice on ‘silly’ things - like the cards in a pack, telling dates of coins, or finding non-essential things. But if you ask permission to practice and then use the results for personal gain (like winning at cards) you may be penalized.

THE SIGNALS THAT YOU USE

If you are right-handed, then use your left hand for holding your Pendulum. Although you can use either hand to Dowse, you may find that the best hand to use as your Dowsing hand is the opposite hand to that which you normally use; this allows your ‘normal’ hand to be used for writing when you are Dowsing.

Now hold your Pendulum as shown on the cover page, with the holding point between your thumb and first finger of your normal hand (the finger next to the thumb), with about 7 inches (20 cm) of string to the point of your Pendulum, which should be about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) above a piece of blank paper. First of all, just hold it still (this is like teaching your dog to sit !).

Step 1

Now look at the diagram of circles and lines next to this writing. Hold your Pendulum above the middle of the 'up and down' line and make it swing along the line - towards you and away from you; this is the "WAITING POSITION" - ready for a question. Stop, hold your Pendulum still, and without making it move ask it swing in the "waiting position".

Step 2

Repeat this procedure explaining that if the question is poorly worded, is not understood, is beyond your Dowsing ability, or should not be asked, then the "NOT AVAILABLE" signal to be used is to slow down and stop along the "Waiting Position" , and then to restart swinging on the "Not Available" line.

Step 3

Hold your Pendulum over the clockwise circle, and tell it to move in a clockwise direction; if it doesn't move the first time, you can make it move - but keep at this until it moves without you forcing it. Repeat for the anti-clockwise circle.

Step 4

Hold your Pendulum over the "YES" circle and ask your Pendulum to make a circle in the "YES" direction.

Do not make it move, just wait for it to move on its own ! This is VERY important, since you are trying to find which is the "YES" direction for you - and if you force a movement it could be the wrong way !

Step 5

Then hold it over the "NO" circle and ask it to make a circle in the "NO" direction. Practice these "YES" and "NO" circles to make sure that you have them correct - they are the key to being able to Dowse. If you cannot get sure answers about the circles, then define the "YES" circle as clockwise, and the "NO" circle as anticlockwise, and repeat the exercises to ensure they work.

Repeat steps 1 to 5 until you have success - then you can ask simple questions for practice (but remember to ask permission to practice first !), such as "Is today Wednesday ?" - but wait until you have read all the instructions before asking any important questions.

DIRECTIONS

The other key to using your Pendulum is asking for directions; so hold your Pendulum over the centre of the 'counting chart' (marked "Start Here") so that it is either still or making a small circle. Now tell it to move in the direction of the line marked "6".

Your Pendulum should make a small "YES" circle, and then move along the line leading towards the number requested. If it makes a "NO" circle, be cautious - something may be wrong !

Repeat this with the other lines, marked "0" to "9", until it does them all correctly. You can use this skill to find lost and stolen items, read messages, seek treasure, and find your way home !

ABOUT DOWSING

These instructions explain how to quest with your Pendulum, and give some exercises for you to practice. You will have a lot of fun finding things, increasing your Dowsing skills at the same time - and gaining confidence in your Dowsing abilities.

Dowsing tools include 'L'-shaped rods (such as cut coat hangers), 'Y'-shaped rods (hazel or other branches), 'bobbers' (like fishing rods held by the tip), and Pendulums (a weight on the end of a length of string). Pendulums can do all that any of the other Dowsing tools can do !

How Dowsing works has been one of the world's oldest mysteries. Some Force works through a Dowser's mind and body to make the Dowsing tool act as an amplifier - so that you are aware of small body movements, such as in your hand or arm, caused by your ‘intuition’ responding to the Force. This System gives you a solution to your quest - an answer to your question.

We use the term 'quest' because you are seeking something - like the old time quest of the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. You seek the answer to a question, the location of an object, or a direction to take.

You will NOT become an expert Dowser overnight - or even in a few weeks. To become an expert needs lots of hard work, over months, maybe years. The important part is improving - getting better at using your skills. And you will never learn if you do not keep trying ! Even as an expert, you may lose your skills if you do not keep on practicing.

Have you heard of ‘Pyramid Power’ ? It can even sharpen razor blades ! When your Pendulum circles it is making a cone shape, a ‘virtual’ circular pyramid !

TUNING YOUR PENDULUM

A long string is more sensitive to small muscular movements but takes a longer time to complete a movement than does a short string. When starting to Dowse you may find a long string best, changing to a shorter length as you become more skilled.

Some people use very long strings on their Pendulums, and vary the length according to the item they are seeking; this long type of Pendulum was developed by T.C.Lethbridge, but is not generally used today.

A light Pendulum needs less energy to respond, but is more easily blown about by the wind. You may need a heavier one if you use it outside in strong winds.

Since your Pendulum is being used for your quests, you should choose a length that responds best to YOUR mind and body - instead of the length that you used to start. This is called 'tuning' your Pendulum.

The most accurate way is to hold the string between your thumb and first finger of your 'other' hand, and slowly let the string out. If you find this difficult, wrap the string around a pencil first; but be sure to hold the string (on the pencil) between your thumb and first finger.

Start with about 2 inches (5 cm) of string between your finger and the pendulum weight. Place your 'normal' elbow against the side of your body, with your 'normal' hand in front of you, palm upwards, pointing across your body; let your Pendulum swing gently along the line of your hand.

Let the string out a little at a time, and soon your Pendulum will start to make a circle; continue to let out the string slowly, and your Pendulum will go back to swinging again; let out more string until your Pendulum starts making a circle again - note that this circle is much larger than the first circle; you have found the correct place to hold the string of your Pendulum !

If you are very sensitive, your Pendulum may make very large circles all the time when using this length; if this is so, then use the shorter length - when your Pendulum first started to make a circle. Mark this the 'holding point' by making a simple slip knot in the string.

TRAINING WITH YOUR PENDULUM

Your Pendulum is a tool; by itself it has no magic abilities ! All it does is enable you to get input from the intuitive side of your brain without a lot of interference from the rational side of your brain - and amplifies that input. As with all tools, you must take care of your Pendulum so that it is clean and in good condition when needed.

Repeat the first lesson with the "YES" and "NO" circles. Most people get a clockwise rotation for "YES", and anti-clockwise for "NO". In a some cases people get signals the other way round; if this is happening to you, then go over the procedure a few more times to make certain, and remember that for you the signals are 'clockwise = NO, anti-clockwise = YES'.

The "YES" and "NO" directions may change depending on your body cycles (and those of any person that you are asking about). So it is good practice to check the directions each time you Dowse, and each time you ask about any other person. So ask ‘Show me the signal for "YES" ’ whenever you Dowse.

The next step is to make sure that The System agrees to the use of these signals given by your Pendulum. So hold your Pendulum over a blank piece of paper, and declare:

• ‘You must only be influenced by The Force and only for good.’
  ‘You must always tell the truth, got from all available sources.’
  ‘You must only move "YES" or "NO" if the question is a good, clear question, permitted to be asked by me, and if the true answer is known.’
  ‘Otherwise you must stay still or give a "Not Available" signal.’

This is VERY important, so ask The System if it understands ! If your Pendulum signals "NO" or stays still, then repeat this part of the training until your Pendulum signals "YES".

Some people consider that a ‘witness’ aids their questing. This is a sample of what you seek - held in your hand, attached to your Pendulum, or inserted into your Pendulum (if it is hollow and can be unscrewed). This may work by concentrating your thoughts on the task at hand.

ASKING QUESTIONS

There are some very important rules about the questions that you ask. While The System may be able to understand your intention, it may still insist that you ‘cover all your bases’ to get you into a good habit. And this habit is important, since at times you may address questions to an animal, a tree, your car or your computer; they will respond to the exact question that you ask - even if it is not what you intended !

First, the question must be clear, so that The System really understands the question. If you are thinking about eating more ice cream the question 'Is it OK ?' is NOT clear - The System may not understand what you mean by "it" ! So ask 'Is it OK for me to eat more ice cream now ?'.

Imagine that you are in a car which has a broken fuel gauge; you ask 'Does the car need gas ?'. The answer will always be "YES", even if the tank is full. The car needs gasoline (called 'gas') to make the engine work, and it needs air (another gas) to burn with the gasoline and to fill the tyres. A better way to ask this question would be 'Is the gas tank of this car less than half full ?'.

Second, the answer must be "YES" or "NO". If somebody told you a story, asking 'Is the story true ?' may not work, because some of it may be true, and some of it may not be true. So you must ask about the part of the story that you think may be untrue.

Third, there are some questions which should NOT be asked - especially if the question is NOT your business ! This is why is is very important to ask The System 'May I ask about XXX ?' before asking the actual question.

Fourth, you must not try to make your Pendulum move in any way. If you try to force it to move "YES" because you want it to, but think that the true answer may be "NO", then you are spoiling the training that you have done. So the next time that you ask a question, The System may not give the correct answer.

Fifth, you must check that you are working within the 'rules of the game'. This means that you must define your question and the reason for asking it, and check with your pendulum for "YES" answers to ‘May I, Can I, Should I ?’.

"I am seeking to find the best way to ...." to define the problem.

"This is to help XXX to feel happier" to explain your reason for asking.

"May I ask ?" to get permission to proceed, and confirm that the answer is available.

"Can I ask ?" to inquire if you have the skill to get a correct answer.

"Should I ask ?" in case your question is about a forbidden subject.

And then ask your question if the replies have all been "YES".

"Is my understanding that YYYY correct ?" is a good way to check that the question was what you intended, that you have understood the answer, and that the answer given was the correct answer !

If any reply is "NO", you do NOT proceed; if you are asking about someone else, and did not explain that you are asking in order to help THEM, you may get a "NO" answer; this is one time when you can explain why you are asking, and repeat your check. It may also be the wrong time to ask the question !

Some people try and combine these, by presuming that getting a "YES" after asking 'May I ?' implies that permission would only be granted if the 'Can I ?' and 'Should I ?' were also "YES". This is logical; but your intuition is NOT logical ! You MUST ask ALL the questions separately !

If you often get wrong answers after your 'May I, Can I, Should I ?' check, it is probably due to badly worded questions, or your influence in wanting a particular answer. Make sure that your questions are clear and cannot be twisted (like the gas example), and then having asked the question say to yourself 'I wonder what the answer will be .. I wonder what the answer will be .. I wonder what the answer will be .. '

It also helps if you do keep your mind on what you are doing. Asking about something you do not like (broccoli ?) and then thinking of an ice cream will be sure to give you a wrong answer ! It is good practice to always check the answers that you get by asking 'Is the answer ... YYYY ... correct ?' - it may be wrong if the question was poorly worded or should not have been asked.

We have talked about your Spirit Guides looking after you. But most people have never met or spoken to a Spirit Guide, and some do not believe that they exist. Why not ask about them, using your Pendulum ?

Say ‘I wish to make contact with my Spirit Guide, so that I can seek advice in living a better life’, and ask 'May I ask about my Spirit Guide ?' then 'Can I ... ?' and 'Should I ... ?'; presuming that the answers are "YES", ask 'Do I have a Spirit Guide looking after my best interests ?', and check by 'Is the answer that I do have a Spirit Guide correct ?'

It would be wonderful if we could always rely on getting help from our Spirit Guides when needed. Perhaps we could ask for assistance when Dowsing ! So try - 'Will my Spirit Guides assist me to get the truth when I use my Pendulum for the Highest Purpose ?'

Some people use the phrase ‘Highest and Best Good’ instead - the intent is to take the best possible action in the circumstances of the situation encountered.

Remember how to ask a question; although it may seem silly to ask permission for very simple questions, do it to build a routine to use when asking more complicated questions - 'get into the habit'.

'May I ask if my eyes are brown ?' then 'Are my eyes brown ?', and afterwards check by 'Is the answer that my eyes are brown correct ?'

OK, it is time to exercise your Pendulum; try these questions:

• • Are my eyes brown ?
    Did I eat an egg for breakfast today ? Ditto cereal ?
    Do I like spinach ? Ice Cream ? Broccoli ?
    Will I be rich ? Poor ?

Did you remember to ask permission for practice questions ? Did you ask the 'May I ? Can I ? Should I ?' questions ? - and did you check the answers ?

If yes to both rich and poor, remember you could be poor at one time and rich in another. Are you poor in spirit and rich in wealth ? Try asking about wealth, and about spirit !

If you try to influence your Pendulum it could give you the answer that you want - and one that may not be true ! Try and keep an open and inquiring mind, and always check the answer.

You do not have to speak aloud when you ask The System a question - it is quite OK to 'think' the question to yourself. And that way, nobody else knows the question that you are asking !

If your Pendulum makes a small circle (or a small swing) or does this slowly it is indicating that there is some doubt, or the question may be poorly worded. A very large circle (with speed) says "without any doubt"; usually you get a middle sized circle, meaning that the answer is based on present data which may change in the future.

Remember that the size and speed is relative to the normal size and speed of a circle made with that same length of string.

Another time when you may get a small circle is when your solution to a problem is workable, but not the best solution - so keep refining your solution and you will get a bigger circle the closer that you come to the best solution.

Although The System is able to answer all your questions, you must not rely on it for every minor matter in your daily life ! You must learn to make your own decisions; but it is OK to ask for training purposes, and if the matter is important. And even then, it is best to make a decision and then ask 'Did I make the correct decision ?'. If the answer is "NO" then use your Pendulum to find out how you can improve your decision.

ABOUT THE MESSAGE CHART

To some people the message chart is very similar to a OUIJA board. There have been serious warnings made against using these boards - and those warnings are true. So what is the difference ?

In most cases the OUIJA board is used by a number of people as a game, without any protection. Because a number of people use it, it is easy for an unwanted spirit to join in and have fun - at your expense !

First something that attracts you is offered, and then you are trapped - you start to use the OUIJA board by yourself, you do everything that you are told (believing that good is intended) and find yourself in serious trouble.

The pledge that you made at the start, and the understanding that you made on the use of your Pendulum, will help to stop the entry of unwanted spirits.

CONVERSATIONS WITH SPIRIT GUIDE

It is always most important to build on a good foundation. We will start with your Spirit Guide, who is your link to the Spiritual Worlds.

Say (aloud, or to yourself) ‘Spirit Guide, "What is your name ?" and hold your Pendulum over the "Start Here" circle on the message chart.

Your Pendulum should make a small "YES" circle, and then point along one of the lines which lead to the letters; follow along the line, until you come to the "flower" at the end which has 3 "petals", and see which petal your Pendulum indicates. Write down the letter, and ask ‘Is this letter correct ?’.

Now you understand why it was suggested that you use your non-writing hand to hold your Pendulum - so you can write the messages as you receive them !

If the letter was not correct, ask for it to be repeated - and continue until you do get the correct letter. Then ask for the next letter.

Remember that the name that you get may not be like the names used in your environment today.

Remember to check - ask ‘Is XXX your correct name ?’. Then ask ‘Do you love the Holy Spirit ?’ followed by ‘ Are you from the Light ?’ - and if either of these gets a "NO" then you have not got a Spirit Guide.

If you have an negative spirit pretending to be your Spirit Guide, just ask for help - say aloud ‘Would my Spirit Guides take this negative spirit into the Light, please’ and that spirit will not bother you again. Then ask once more for the correct name.

Always check that spirits are from the Light and that they Love the Holy Spirit. They cannot lie about this, and by refusing access to them you can avoid a lot of trouble. It is very quick check, and good spirits like to be asked.

When you have the correct name, say ‘I Love You, XXX, and I thank you’. Saying ‘I Love You’ is the accepted greeting between spirits (and humans) who love the Holy Spirit and are in the Light.

The next stage is to ask your Spirit Guide for assistance. So say ‘XXX, I Love You; will you please always guide me onto the Highest and Best Path through my life?’, ‘Will you please always help me to get true answers when Dowsing for good?’, ‘Will you please always guard against negative or evil entities sending me messages?’, and after getting these promises, end by saying ‘XXX, I Love You, and I thank you’.

It will not hurt at this stage to say ‘Spirit Guide, I Love You, and I thank you for helping me’.

All this, of course, should be done in a state of serious attitude. It means being really sincere and honest, concentrating on what you are saying and thinking - and thinking only good thoughts. It is especially powerful if you ask for good to happen, or help to be given, to somebody else, not yourself !

UNDERSTANDING THE SYMBOLS

One of the best ways to start is to go through every character on the chart, so that both you and The System know where to find characters and understand the meaning of each character.

Of particular importance are the special characters, so ask your Pendulum to point to each in turn and then read aloud the note given to explain its function; then ask The System if the meaning is fully understood, and give examples of when it is to be used.

If the "?" is shown, this means that the question is not properly constructed. It may have two meanings, or require two answers. Asking ‘Can you tell me the time ?’ is two questions - can your guide tell you, and what is the actual time. And what time do you mean ? You should try to make the question clear.

A sand timer indicates that it is not the right time to ask the question - and implies that the question may be asked at another time. This may be because something is presently happening which changes the answer, or that it will take time to get the right answer for you.

The "PROHIBITED" sign means that you are trying to enter forbidden territory - such as asking about your death, about the future, or about some other person’s business.

It is also used if you ask about matters that are beyond your understanding - given your present state of knowledge. You may ask why the sign is shown, and the answer may help you to increase your level of understanding, so that you are allowed to ask the question in the future.

The large open cross represents a "Big Kiss", and indicates the phrase ‘I Love You’ which is an important part of each message.

The symbol "( )" of empty brackets indicates a space between words. The hand signals "Stop !" to let you know that the last character was not interpreted correctly.

The point in a circle is either a decimal point or punctuation, depending on the context. If it is repeated, the message has ended.

The remaining special symbols refer to the types of problems which cause illness. These will be covered in detail later, so just run through the meaning and location of each symbol.

The double arrows instruct you to use the other scale - if an address is being given, part will be numeric and part the name of the street and town. The positive numbers will normally be used.

However if you want to know relative numbers, such as how well your health or ability compares to that of the ordinary, average person, then you can ask on a scale between plus nine and minus nine - and use the scale 9 to -9 to get the answer.

You could also ask for a percentage, of course, with 50% being average, and get an answer using the numeric characters 0 to 9.

But a word of caution - do not ask for the future prices of a stock, the value of a currency, the winning numbers of a lottery, or any other information which would give you an unfair advantage unless you need the money for a very good purpose such as helping others - and in such a case, get permission first !

OVERCOMING SOME PROBLEMS

The usual format for a message is: The name of the sender (which is supplied for you), ’I Love You’, and then the message. ‘I Love You,’ may also be used as a sign-off signal.

The most common problem is when you have received part of a message which makes sense, and then you get garbled nonsense. This is because there is interference (which should not happen often), the sender did not complete the message, or that you have misinterpreted the message.

When the message is not correct you should have been given a "Stop !" signal to let you know - but sometimes this does not happen, so you get garbled gobbelygook instead ! If so, go back to the end of the part that made sense, read it out, and ask if that part is correct. If not, go back to an earlier part until you do get a correct part, and then have the rest of the message repeated.

If the message does not make sense as a whole, or seems to be telling you to do something that you believe to be wrong, ask ‘Do you Love the Holy Spirit ?’ and ‘Are you in the Light ?’ to check that another entity has not interrupted your conversation. Your Spirit Guide should have prevented this, but it can happen.

If the message is correct and something still seems wrong, then ask your Spirit Guide to confirm the message by spelling it to you again, and then ask if the message is correct and if your understanding of the message is correct. If your Spirit Guide confirms the message, then have faith that it is correct.

An example of this would be telling you about reincarnation if your religion did not support the idea. It may seem wrong to you, but it is true, and was a belief of the early Christian church - until a meeting in Rome decided that the church would not allow the general public to have this belief. Perhaps they were afraid that the authority of the church would be diminished !

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Souls come into this life as humans to learn lessons and undertake missions. But most humans do not know which lessons of life they have come here to learn, or how they can help by completing their mission. You are now in a very special group of humans - you can ask !

When you ask about your lessons or missions, remember that as you complete one lesson you may have the opportunity to learn another.

In the same way when you complete one mission you may be given another. Also the missions may change due to circumstances beyond your control - some other human may have done the job you were intended to do !

It is important to keep checking on your lessons and your missions, so that you always get guidance on what to do. And if you always act to the best of your ability you will find that things go well for you, since you are on the right path.

IMPROVING YOUR SKILLS

When you start to use your message chart you probably have a long length of string to your Pendulum - which slows it but gives accuracy. As you improve, you will find that a shorter length - and perhaps a smaller weight - increases your speed.

You may well find that you start to recognize patterns of conversation, and may assume that a pattern is always used; you may also recognize words due to the context in which they are used. But always check !

Sometimes you will find that the next letter or word does not come - and this is intentional, as a signal to you that you have made a mistake interpreting the message. Each letter is given to you, but your hand may ‘stick’ if you have made an error.

Be very careful with words such as no, not, and now - they can reverse the meaning of the whole message ! So always say ‘Is my understanding that ... blah blah blah ... correct ?’ to check that you have not only the correct words but understand their meaning.

As you gain more skill, you may find that you receive the messages without the message chart. But the message chart helps you with two things - it concentrates your mind on the message, and enables you to check difficult words - especially in spelling names.

ITS A TWO WAY STREET !

Not only can you get messages in reply to yours, but messages can be sent to you ! So how do you know that there is a message for you ? You can ask, and a signal can also be sent. This is something that you must agree with The System.

You may decide that only very special messages will cause a signal, and all others must wait for you to check for them.

Often a signal that there is a message will be a funny wave in the side of your head, but this may not suit you, so you can arrange for the signal to be a feeling in your finger or a tingle in your toe. It is up to you to decide, but a tingle in your toe may well be better than having an accident while driving because your head suddenly ached !

If you get a message signal while driving, while at a business meeting, or while you are otherwise preoccupied, just tell The System that you have received the signal and will deal with it as soon as possible. Remember you do not have to say this aloud, you can just send it as a thought.

So suppose you want to ask about a friend who does not know how to send or receive messages - can you communicate ? Yes, but not with the friend directly; you ask your Spirit Guide to connect you to the mind (or Soul) of your friend, stating the reason for the connection.

If the Spirit Guide of your friend approves, then you may be connected - in this way you can check if your friend is in trouble, what sort of help is needed, and how you can assist.

If the conscious mind of your friend can also send and receive messages, can you exchange messages with your friend ? Yes ! It is just like email on the internet. You send a message. When your friend next checks for messages yours will be received. Your friend can send you an answer, which you receive when next you check for your messages.

The usual format for a message is: The name of the sender (which is supplied for you), ’I Love You’, and then the message. But be careful to check that the message does come from your friend - and not an evil spirit. If you are suspicious, ask your Spirit Guide to check that it is actually your friend.

Remember, however, that these messages are being sent with the help of your Spirit Guide. Do not send frivolous messages or time wasters. If you do, then your Spirit Guide may withdraw your privileges, and you may miss some really important messages !

If you feel that ‘I Love You’ is not appropriate to the message that you are sending, then the message should not be sent. It is as simple as that !

MAKING YOUR HOME SAFE

This is so very simple that it is amazing that so few people know how to do it - or even that it needs to be done ! All you have to do to clear a house or office is to ask your Spirit Guide to get it cleared; he can get help from other specialist guides if needed.

Walter Woods, the President of the American Society of Dowsers, has identified this use of Dowsing as one which can give the most immediate benefit to new Dowsers.

Just say ‘Spirit Guide, I Love You; I will that all entities and thought forms that are detrimental to the inhabitants and occupants of this house (or office) now be removed and sent into the Light with Love’.<

The terms ‘I will ... something happens ... and when’ are a clue to the power of thought. The weakest is a stray thought. A deliberate thought is stronger, and a decision such as ‘let .. something happen’ is very strong. The strongest of all is ‘I will that ...’, in the sense of using your willpower to give a command. If your Spirit Guide approves, he will make it happen.

Then check by asking your Spirit Guide if this has been done, and if so, thank your Spirit Guide for the help given. Occasionally it will not be done, and in such a case there will be a very good reason why not; you can ask your Spirit Guide for this reason (and what must be done to allow clearing of the house) using your message chart.

And another secret - you do not even have to be in the house to do this ! Just give your Spirit Guide the address, or the name of the occupants that you want to help, and your Spirit Guide will do the rest.

Why is this not done anyway, without you asking ? Because guides are instructed not to interfere; people are expected to do their ‘own thing’, to learn their lessons with the minimum help. But Spirit Guides love to be asked to help, since that gives them the ‘excuse’ to interfere, to make things better !

The next task is to deal with any earth energies. Many people sleep, or sit for long periods such as at work, in places that have energy fields that are not good for them. The result is often cancer or a tumor.

The negative earth energies are mainly caused by the ‘Hartman’ and ‘Curry’ energies which run in grids encircling the globe in many directions; water running below the house and electrical disturbances from transformers (and the circuits in a house) can cause similar problems.

Trouble can be expected especially where these energies cross. Some can be neutralized or moved by very experienced Dowsers, but it is not wise to try unless you are very skilled.

The easiest way is to ask your Spirit Guide to locate these dangerous places, and then avoid them by moving beds and favourite chairs so that they are out of the way of these earth energies.

To do this, go to each chair and bed and ask ‘Is this a safe place for a human to sit ? .. to sleep ?’ and if the answer is "NO" then go to an alternative position and ask the same question until you get a "YES". Be sure that the whole of the new bed position is safe ! If you still have problems, get the help of an experienced Dowser.

Tell the people that the bed or chair is in a bad position and could cause cancer or other diseases, and advise them to move it to the safe location that you have found with the help of your Spirit Guide.

Now ask your Spirit Guide to request that the house be enclosed in the Energy of Love and Light to protect the house and its occupants for ever. Check that this happens, and give your thanks and Love for the the help given by the guides. It is an excellent idea to ask the others to join you in this simple prayer of thanks !

Helping other people to make their home safe is really worth while - especially if you teach them to do it themselves.

CAUSES OF HEALTH PROBLEMS

There are four prime causes of health problems - physical reasons, such as having fallen down; emotions, like anger, fear, and jealousy; mental upsets, especially worrying about situations; and spiritual causes, for example doing something that you believe is wrong. Always use the term ‘health problems’ since it includes all sickness, disease, and other problems.

It is important to realize that a health problem may have more than one cause - an emotional problem may reduce your defence capabilities so that physical exposure enables the disease to take root.

Carolyn Maas has written a number of books on this aspect of health, seen as a ‘medical intuitive’. Her first book is perhaps the best one, dealing with a number of cases. She explains, for example, that people with anger often have heart problems or arthritis. But heart problems can also occur due to old age.

Her later books concentrate on another factor - the refusal of people to get well, for reasons such as enjoying the sympathy of others, or the misused power that being an invalid gives to control the lives of others !

To help yourself (or others with the approval of your Spirit Guide) first ask ‘How many serious health problems do I have ?’ and then get these spelt out using your message chart. For each one, ask if the cause is physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual - remembering that there could be more than one cause.

Now go through each type of cause of each health problem, asking that the detailed cause be explained - for example ‘Worry about who cares for me if my wife died’ or ‘Anger to my father who abused me’.

This routine takes time - but is worthwhile to do properly. You may be able to help reduce pain or put a disease into remission with the help of your Spirit Guide, but it may well return unless the cause is eradicated; this is the really hard part - especially dealing with anger.

Note that this discussion has nothing to do with medical support; your doctor may well be giving you the best treatment to cure a disease - here we are trying to eliminate the causes of disease that doctors cannot tackle.

OVERCOMING ANGER

Perhaps the hardest anger to overcome is that which you harbour against a parent who abused you when you were a helpless infant in their care. Indeed, nothing can justify that sort of behaviour. The resulting anger, however, can do far more damage to you than did the abuse - so you must learn to deal with it.

From your point of view the case is quite clear - and you can never forgive and forget. So you must look at it from the other person’s point of view - by no means an easy task !

Perhaps the parent was abused by his father. If the abuse was physical, then he may have been brought up believing that such behaviour was normal. In fact, you might be having just that same problem, and be restraining yourself because you do believe it to be wrong.

Perhaps your father did not have the same willpower to restrain himself, or lacked the support coming from other members of your family that you enjoy.

It may even be that this was a lesson that both of you had decided to work out together to overcome the ‘Karma’ - perhaps in a previous life you had abused him ! There are many people who believe in this sort of karma - and they may be right.

What you are doing here is trying to find some excuse, however far fetched and ridiculous, that explains your father’s actions and allows you to forgive him. That is all. You are in this for yourself, not him ! It does not matter what you think to anyone else - only to yourself !

If you can do this, and genuinely say ‘Father, I forgive you’, then the memory of that abuse will cease to pester you, it will stop making you ill. It is past; it is finished; you can concentrate on what is happening in your life today - not events of long ago !

Another major problem of forgiveness is forgiving oneself. Perhaps you have been angry with a person for some series of events that happened years ago; you want to rid yourself of the troubles caused by anger, and this is one of the cases that comes to mind.

You examine the events from your view, and it seems as if you were right. So look at them from the viewpoint of the other person; perhaps some thing that was said was completely misunderstood, and this error started all the negative behaviour. You may have been at fault; and even if you are not sure where to put the blame, it is better to accept it than to have the problem continue !

So apologize to the other person. You do not even have to do it to their face - although it may help them if you do, and be more meaningful to you. But they may have moved away or died. So say the apology - and really mean it.

Now you can start the forgiveness. To forgive oneself is often completely overlooked ! But it can be the key to clearing anger - and other emotions - from your system, so you can again become healthy.

YOU ARE BEING CONTROLLED !

When you were young you assimilated the life around you; the behaviour patterns you observed helped you to fit into your family and society. But the family may not have been the best, society has changed, and the patterns may have been misformed anyway.

Negative situations occur in life which you may think you have overcome and forgiven, but perhaps have not.  When a similar situation comes up, your anger will reappear suddenly without you even knowing why.

We also hang onto behaviors we are taught as children. Perhaps your mother gave you a treat when she wanted you to do something for her that you didn't like to do. Or she gave you candy to be quiet around the house, or to calm you down when you were hurt or upset. When you are older, you will give yourself treats for the same reason, and because you handle the money and the goodies, you may overdo the treats and become very overweight, and you won't realize that it was your childhood that trained you to do these things.

You can understand the strength of behaviour patterns developed over a long time, for example in a family where the husband is usually drunk, beats a nagging wife, and abuses his children. They children grow up thinking that a real adult acts in the same way !

They may also think that it is OK to act, but not to talk about their way of life. It becomes hidden. You, when helping somebody who has this problem, may not be aware of it - and they will avoid telling you ! So what can you do ?

Your Spirit Guides can help with these situations. So ask them to help with these types of  problems! Say ‘Spirit Guide, if there is any problem in my family life, please help to fix it, so that all in their family are helped’.

A lot of fat people would like to be slim. You can help them ! But you must start by making sure that the reason for getting fat is really understood.

Females tend to get fat due to nature; they are ‘programmed’ to store energy as body fat so that they (and their babies) can survive a famine. This is a safeguard to ensure that the human race survives a natural disaster. This a ‘spiritual’ reason.

A different source of ‘getting fat’ is mental - feeling insignificant. This is feeling that you do not have your rightful place in society. So you, as a person, want to be more substantial, to ‘stand out’ more. And this is translated by your own body mechanisms to mean that you want to be fatter !

So use Dowsing and your message chart to discover what is causing the fatness, explain this reason to the person, and work out with them how to remove this cause. Then you can start to get the weight reduced.

Every day, preferably before each mealtime, the person should say ‘I want no more fat; let slimness be implemented’. Soon the person will be influenced to not take the extra snack, and to use the energy stored as fat. This is an expensive process, since new clothes will be needed !

MEDICATION AND DOSAGES

If you are going to buy herbal remedies or vitamin supplements, you can ask The System for assistance; 'Do I need a remedy ?', 'Please point to the shelf with the remedy that I need', 'Is the remedy on this shelf ?', and 'Is this the remedy that I need ?' - or ask similar questions using your message chart.

And you can ask for the dosage to be taken, and how often to take it. After this, ask if there is another remedy that you should also take, and if so, then repeat the procedure.

And you can help your medication to be more effective !

Apply or take your medication, hold your Pendulum over the place that needs healing (or as close as you can get) and imagine a golden light coming to you through your Pendulum. Say 'This golden light will make my medication work better; it will heal me quickly' - and it helps if you imagine the medication and healing light actually making all well !

You will probably see your Pendulum make big "YES" signals, and then stop when you have enough. It may even give you a "Big Kiss" at the end !

POINTING - MORE DIRECTIONS

Now repeat the lesson on using your Pendulum to point directions - remember to ask permission to practice.

How is this skill useful ? Well, if you cannot remember where you left your pen, glasses, or bicycle you just ask that your Pendulum point the direction ! You can even ask the direction to your dog (or cat); try and find your dog this way - if he gets lost on another day using your Pendulum may help to find him.

'Hide and seek' will take on a new meaning with help through your Pendulum - for finding other people, or have someone hide something for you to find.

If you ask your Pendulum to be pointed to west, you could be surprised when it pointed to a friend or neighbour - this could happen if the name of the person was Pat West ! When seeking north, ask for magnetic north, or ‘the direction of north’.

If you are looking for a ring (lost in the grass) you can walk in the direction shown by your Pendulum, and ask that it to start making a "YES" circle when you are over the ring. As you approach the ring, your Pendulum will start to change from a straight 'to & fro' motion to an ellipse, and then to a circle, and then back to an ellipse when you have gone past the ring.

Get some pennies and ask your friend to hide then in the garden (or the beach, or even under a carpet); then use your Pendulum to find them. Ask that your Pendulum 'point to the nearest penny' until you find them all.

When your Pendulum indicates that you have found a penny, ask if there is more than one - in case your friend put a few together. You can get an exact count by asking about increasing numbers.

Another very important skill to learn is tracking. Ask your friend to walk around the neighbourhood (or on paths in the woods if you live in the country) and remember the route taken. Then ask that your Pendulum show the path taken. Or you could track animals in this same way - it is the same sense that trackers use !

A little hint - your friend may try to trick you by going through the same place twice ! So always ask The System 'Which direction did my friend take next ?' so that you trace the exact route. Then check with your friend to see how well you did.

Or you could play at hunting in the same way - get some bits of paper, write numbers on them, and get your friend to leave them (in order) on his route. Then hunt for these using your Pendulum.

And it gets even better ! If you have a map, you can search for a lost dog, stolen bicycle, or a friend's location. Just hold your Pendulum at one corner of the map, and ask that your Pendulum show you the direction of your search object, and mark the direction on the map.

Then go to two more places on the map, and get 2 more directions. If you draw lines on the map, they will cross to make a triangle. If the triangle is large the answer may not be accurate.

This may be because the target (such as a car) may be moving, or perhaps your feelings for the search item may be too weak for you to get identification.

If you are searching for another person, you may not get a good answer if the person does not want to be found - so you may find it difficult to locate a thief.

Map pointing can be used to locate your next home. If you are using a map of the whole district, then the area that the triangle covers may be large. You can reduce the search area by choosing points on the map that are close to the triangle and getting new directions from those points.

DOWSING FOR WATER

Other dowsing tools like the 'L' and 'Y' rods will indicate metal pipes, electric cables, and running water - without having to be told what to seek. Your Pendulum can be used to find these too.

As an exercise, go into your garden or the street, where you think there may be a water pipe (or electric cable) and ask that your Pendulum 'Make a "YES" when I am above a water pipe' - and see if you can trace where it runs.

If you just ask The System 'Is water here ?' you will probably get "YES", since most ground has some dampness in it ! You have to ask your questions very carefully. If you are just looking for a drink, then ask 'Where can I find surface water which is safe to drink ?'

If you are looking for a place to sink a well, then you could ask that your Pendulum 'Show me where I can find an all-year round continuous 50 gallons per minute supply of good drinking water within 100 feet of the surface'; but if you start walking to the next town you may have to revise your question.

You could say 'Show me the best place to drill a well on my land to get good drinking water', and then when you find the spot ask 'Should the well be more than 30 feet deep ?', '50 feet ?' until you find the depth to drill.

And you can then ask 'Will I get a continuous all-year-round supply of more than 20 gallons per minute ?', '50 gpm ?', until you get the correct flow.

But taking that flow may prevent the water going to another well used by someone else; this is bad practice - so you must always ask ‘How much water may I extract without harming the supply of any other person ?'

You may also need help from an experienced Dowser who is able to divert bad water away from a well, and get more good water to flow in.

WATER - THE ESSENCE OF LIFE !

Perhaps the most useful Dowsing that you can do with water is to improve the quality of the water that you drink. A lesson from a very experienced Dowsing Instructor, Bill Askin, is to get a glass of water and sip it to get the taste.

Then hold your Pendulum over the glass, and ask ‘that everything in the water that is harmful to me in any way be removed’ - and when your Pendulum stops circling taste the water again - and it may have a different taste !

But wait - the experiment is not finished ! Now ask ‘that all the sustenance and nutrients that you need for your Highest Purpose be added to the water’, wait until your Pendulum stops making a ‘virtual pyramid’ over the glass, and taste again !

You can verify that the 'life essence' of the water has improved by checking with your message chart. It seems that life and light are closely related - and that the life essence (or radiance) can be measured in Angstrom units, a measurement of light.

Since you are intersted in the change that occured, you do not have to understand what an 'Angstrom unit' means; just ask "What is the radiance of this water ?" at the times that you taste it.

In 'The Secret Life of Plants' the radiance of a normally healthy person is quoted as being about 6,500 Angstroms; food which has a higher radiance is healthy for you, but if it has a value below yours then you may reduce your own radiance (your life force) by eating it.

The book suggests that if you eat meat, smoke, or drink alcohol then your radiance will be lower, and that the lower your radiance the more likely that diseases will hurt you.

One way to improve the radiance of food is to pray that it be blessed before you eat it. Test this by asking for th radiance value before and after the food is blessed - and be ready for some surprises !

EXPLORING

When you are exploring, remember to ask The System if you will be in danger before starting out ! Next you can ask that your Pendulum point to what you are seeking; it will swing to and fro, so check which direction to take. When seeking a small object, ask it to make a "YES" circle when found.

Do not be disappointed if your direction finding does not work well the first few times - if you practice with your Pendulum now, to improve your skills and build confidence in using your Pendulum, then you will be ready for when you really do have a need to search.

Your Pendulum could save your life ! Suppose that are camping in a place that you do not know well, and that you are exploring some woods. Suddenly you realize that you are lost !

Being a well trained Dowser, you are carrying the most important part of your equipment - your Pendulum ! So ask that it point the way back to the camp site. Remember that it swings backwards AND forwards - one direction will take you to the camp, the other away from the camp. So if it swings left/right (or forwards/backwards) ask if left (or forward) is the direction to take.

Now it may be that the direction shown is the most direct, but not the safest (a ravine - or even a wild animal - could be in the way); so it would be better to ask that your Pendulum show you the 'quickest safe way' to the camp !

But what happens if you FORGOT to take your Pendulum ? Well, you can make an emergency Pendulum to get you out of trouble. Take a piece of string, and tie it around a small stone, and use that as your Pendulum.

If you do not have a piece of string, use a length of vine or tear a length of bark from a small branch of a tree. Try not to use your shoe lace, because if your shoe is loose then walking will be more difficult.

You use your Pendulum to find some water, but then wonder if it safe to drink. So ask via your Pendulum 'Is it safe for me to drink this water ?'.

If you ever get really lost for a long time, you may get very hungry. You can pick some leaves or pieces of grass, and ask via your Pendulum if they are safe for you to eat. This is for emergencies only, so do not go eating leaves unless you have a real need.

For example nettles may sting you, but are good to eat; dandelions are very good, but you may not like their taste. You may be able to eat most snakes and bugs - so long as they do not eat you first !

MORE ABOUT YOUR PENDULUM

You must be most careful to be honest and truthful using your Pendulum.

Pretend that you are a child who does not like broccoli; if you ask The System 'Should I eat my broccoli ?' and it signals "YES", and you then tell your mother 'My Pendulum says I should NOT eat my broccoli' then you are spoiling the training that you have done with your Pendulum.

You must ALWAYS be honest and truthful - especially about using your Pendulum. Even if your Pendulum indicated 'Eat your broccoli' you may choose not to eat it - that is your choice ! But DO NOT blame the Pendulum if you ignore the advice given and run into trouble.

Remember that you do not have to speak when using your Pendulum, only to THINK the question. If someone asks 'What did you ask your Pendulum ?' you can always tell them 'sorry, but that is private’.

MAKING DECISIONS

Suppose that you want to go out, but are not sure whether you should go to the Red Wood Park, the baseball field, the skating rink, or the swimming pool. You can draw some lines on a piece of paper (like the 'counting chart') write the names in the spaces, and ask your Pendulum to indicate the best place. To be really accurate, you should add 'stay home' and 'somewhere else'.

You could put the names of friends instead of the names of places, or use colours to ask which one is best for a purpose. Or if you want to know which campsite you would like most this summer, write their names and ask !

Instead of using your Pendulum to point to choices drawn in a semi-circle, you can write a list and ask The System to show which is correct - or the best choice.

Write down all the things from which you want to choose, hold a pointer (a pencil will do) in your ‘normal’ hand and point to each item in the list, asking The System 'Is this the best choice ?'.

This can be used for many purposes, such as which subjects should you study, what books to read, or where to go to eat or for a holiday.

And you can ask what colour clothes you should wear; each colour has its frequency of vibration, as do emotions, feelings, and the chakras which many leading thinkers believe help to guide our personal life. But ask with a purpose in mind. The colour to wear to become successful may not be the same as the colour chosen if you want to relax !

Another major decision would be choosing a place to live. Map Dowsing can locate the neighbourhood, but there are a lot of crucial questions which should also be addressed. 'Will this house be conducive to a happy family ?' If you just ask 'Will this house suit me ?' you may get "YES" while the answer for your partner or dependants would be "NO".

You can also ask 'Are any major repairs needed soon ?' 'Are there problems with the foundations ?' '.. the roof ?' '.. the insulation ?' '.. the heating system ?', .. 'the fire warning or prevention system ?', 'Is a zoning change likely to happen in the next 10 years ?', 'What is the lowest price that we can negotiate to buy this house ?'.

In Europe it is now usual to ask if there are any earth energies which would adversely affect the occupants - zones where high incidents of cancer occur have been identified by skilled Dowsers. And sometimes very skilled Dowsers can move these energies to make a place safe - or identify areas dangerous to sleep.

HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED

Have you heard a little voice or felt a feeling deep inside you - that tries to help you ? Perhaps you wish it would help you more often ! That little voice or feeling comes from the intuitive part of your mind.

Perhaps it is your Spirit Guide trying to help you, or your friends ! You have a sudden thought that you should do something, or go somewhere, or see (or telephone) somebody. And you have been surprised when doing just that solved another problem.

If you get an urge to go to the river, it may be because somebody needs your help. But you do not just rush off to the river ! As a trained Dowser you ask The System if you should go, and if it is safe for you to go. If so, then you leave a message saying where you have gone in case you get into difficulties, or so people can find you if another emergency needs your help.

One very important thing - do not boast about your skills ! Just use them quietly and carefully. As an example, if a friend has lost something, you may not be able to find it for them, since it is not 'your' thing. But you can try - and when you find it, you can say that your Dowsing system did good.

PERSONAL HELP

You can check using your Pendulum if a particular food is good for you to eat.

Perhaps you feel ill at odd times, and wonder if you have an allergy. Ask The System 'Do I have any allergies ?', and if the answer is "YES" then you can write down all the things which you think may affect you, hold a pointer (a pencil will do) in your normal hand and point to each item in the list in turn, asking 'Am I allergic to this ?'. Then avoid that item and see if you feel better.

You can always ask how you will get on with a person. 'Can I trust Pat ?', 'Is Pat telling me the truth ?', 'Will Pat be a good friend to me ?' and 'Has Pat taken my pencil ?' are all excellent questions to ask The System.

OTHER PEOPLE

But it is wrong to ask these same questions when they concern Pat and some other person - you should only ask if YOU are involved.

And asking about some one else, such as 'Has Pat any allergies ?' is wrong unless Pat has given permission for the question to be asked. This is like poking your nose into another person's diary !

Asking 'Is my girl/boy friend interested in some other person ?' will always tell you "YES" - but the sort of interest may not be what you meant ! The 'some other person' may be you, the interest may be for business reasons, or because they are relatives - or they may be a fan of a film star. We are all interested in many other people.

CHAKRAS AND SPINAL SYSTEM

There are schools of thought which believe that all living bodies have auras which control a chakra system connected to pathways along the spine which mould our actions and our bodies; this is the basis of acupuncture. Each chakra (or disc) is associated with specific colours and sounds.

The chakras may be considered to be a sort of transceiver, transmitting and receiving not radio signals, but a higher level system of communication which is yet to be discovered scientifically. These chakras may not be fully open in some people.

Perhaps you could have a happier life, and find that things 'go your way', if your chakras are operating correctly ! First of all, ask via your Pendulum 'Does my body have a chakra system ?' and if "YES" then ask 'Is my chakra system important to me ?', 'Are all my chakras operating correctly ?', and 'Should I learn more about my chakra system ?'.

There are many books on chakras and their associated physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual characteristics - all concerned with your health. If your chakra system is important to you, it may be worthwhile to get some books from the library that help you to understand chakras, learning their location and associated colours and sounds, so that you can improve their efficiency.

If you decide that you want to check your chakras, you can ask for each one 'On a scale from 1 to 9, how important to me is this chakra at the present time ?' (and use the Counting Chart to find out), '.. 1 to 9 .. what is the efficiency of this chakra ?', 'What colour is associated with this chakra ?', 'Do I have any problems related to this chakra ?' then take the first thought that comes that could indicate a problem and then ask 'Is XXX the problem that I have to correct ?' - or find out using your message chart.

Then you must think of ways that could overcome or correct the problems, and check to see if you have found the right basic intentions, such as forgiving, apologizing, leaving a bad relationship, or changing your job.

When we talked about earth energies, we said that they ran in grids around the earth, and mentioned a couple of energy grids that could be harmful. But there are many other grids - and some real surprises.

Mike Doney, one of the best Dowsers in the world, has found that there are grids for things like sadness, joy, sorrow, happiness, hate, and love. Note that sadness is spiritual , while unhappiness is emotional - they are not the same !

It seems as if our auric systems tune our chakras into these grids - so that we choose (via our system) whether we want to laugh or cry !

MORE COUNTING

Typical questions are ‘On a scale from 1 to 9, how fresh are these tomatoes ?’, ‘.. how suitable is this suit for me ?’, ‘.. how allergic am I to eating peanuts ?’.

For depths of water, minerals, etc., you can ask first in terms of ‘How many thousands of feet ?’, with an answer between 2 and 3 .. ‘How many hundreds of feet over two thousand ?’, and if you get a swing between 5 and 6 .. ‘How many tens of feet over 2,500 feet ?’, and narrow the search down.

You can get practice asking ‘How many minutes will I have to wait for the next bus to come ?’ - remember that it may not be the bus that you need, so you can ask ‘.. for the next #10 bus..’; ‘How many miles to the next gas station on this road ?’; and you can check these answers !

Another way of counting, useful especially if you do not have your Counting Chart with you, is to make a guess and then split differences: ‘Is the depth greater than 1,000 feet ?’ ("YES") ‘Is the depth greater than 2,000 feet ?' ("NO") ‘.. greater than 1,500 feet ?’ and keep narrowing this down by halves. The depth may be exactly 2,000 feet down - so remember to check !

You can also ask that your Pendulum make a number of circles to give count; but you must arrange the code beforehand - are the first and last (small ?) circles part of the count ? Try sample counts to see what works for you.

PETS AND PLANTS

You can use your Pendulum to see if your pet is sick, and ask questions to find out what is wrong and how to cure your pet. You can do this to plants as well, asking 'Does it need more water ?', or ask which fertilizer and how much.

Most of us are very surprised when we learn that we can tell what animals and plants need. But it is even more amazing when we realize that they can tell what we are thinking !

Some years ago there was a lie detector specialist called Cleve Backster who became interested in plants. He decided to test how long it took for water in a plant pot to reach the top leaf in a plant which was dry, so he attached a lie detector to the top leaf.

Backster was amazed to see that the lie detector indicated happiness as soon as it was attached, even though no water had been added. He then wondered if the plant would give an unhappy signal if he set the leaf on fire - and was astounded that the plant gave that unhappy signal as soon as he had the thought ! This experiment has been well publicized both in books and on television.

Try cutting a leaf in two, getting a friend to hide half, and then Dowsing for it - holding the other half in your hand. You will find that the two halves seek each other !

Experiment with your message chart to exchange messages with your pets. You can have a wonderful time ‘talking’ to your dog!

And you might be able to get your plants to grow better - and grow prize vegetables in your garden !

DOWSING APPLICATIONS

In France, Germany, Russia, and other countries in Europe, Dowsing is accepted by governments - and some government departments have Dowsing sections. North America is far behind - mainly due to a lot of vested interests. But it is used ‘on the quiet’ by many large organizations.

Healers use a Pendulum to find causes for illness in their patients; engineers locate errors on drawings; computer experts find errors in computer code; gold and oil deposits are found; buried treasure and ancient artifacts are located; water, electric, and telephone utilities use Dowsing to find their lines. Dowsing has been used in many places to increase food crops - by helping plants grow, keeping bugs away, and even putting a protective field around them to prevent diseases. There are many other uses of Dowsing that are not covered here.

Dowsing goes under many names; for centuries the Chinese have used it not only to find water and minerals, but to decide how to place and make a harmonious home (called Feng Shui). In Europe it is used to choose sites which will be free of cancer causing rays and to find what causes high incidences of road accidents - and then eliminate these causes !

Learning to Dowse is like learning to read. Once you have started, you can apply it to many fields. The list is endless. And you can do a lot of good by letting others see you use your Dowsing skills in public.

People complain that Dowsing is not accepted by businessmen, politicians, medical practitioners, and the general public. Yet there are many who ‘use their Pendulum’ in private - this is especially true of ladies. By letting others see that you Dowse you are encouraging them to be Dowsers - and to Dowse in public themselves. That way Dowsing will become accepted ! It is up to you !

Just think how much better the world would be if politicians ‘did the right thing’, if alternative medicine and spiritual healing reduced illness, if the justice system were fair to all, and if children were not abused.

This will happen. It will happen sooner if you help - by Dowsing in public to help get Dowsing accepted as a true ‘gift from God’, for us all to get help from our Spirit Guide.

You may encounter resistance and negativity from some church authorities, with their set rituals and closed minds. By contacting your Spirit Guide directly you are by-passing them - and they are afraid to lose their authority and control over you. Some priests are there for power and prestige. Treasure clergymen who know they are there to help people reach the Holy Spirit !

When you have gained some experience as a Dowser, and have gained confidence in your ability to Dowse, then ask The System about any of the statements in this booklet that you find surprising - check that all this is true !

SOME SIMPLE GUIDELINES

1. Be sure that the wording of your question is clear and not ambiguous.

2. Think only of your question - get other thoughts out of the way.

3. Remember to define what you are questing, why you are asking, May I ?, Can I ?, Should I ? - and to check ‘Is my understanding ..... correct ?’.

4. Ask permission to practice - and do not misuse the answers.

5. If you think that you may be influencing questions that concern yourself, get somebody else to Dowse for you.

6. Respect the privacy of others - ask if you can help them before interfering.

7. Tiredness, stress, noise, and interruptions may lead to unreliable answers.

8. Dowsing to help others gets the best result - and gives you more satisfaction.

9. Never boast - be humble, and give credit to the Spirit Guides who helped you.

10. In all your life, only have good thoughts - always wish well for others. What you wish for others comes home - to you !

11. If ‘I Love You’ seems inappropriate in a message that you are sending, then do not send the message !
