Put your elbow on the table. If you are right handed, use your right hand to dowse with the pendulum:
There is a little flat bead on the black string of the pendulum. Shorten it to about 2 to 3 inches from the pendulum, as this is where you will hold the string. Hold it with thumb, index, and middle fingers, or what feels comfortable for you.
The shorter the string, the faster the pendulum moves. Say: "Clear me. Shield me. I invite the Holy Spirit, and my High Self Committee of Guides & Angels, to talk to be present and to talk to me through my pendulum."
HOW TO RECOGNIZE A "YES" SIGNAL: Put your elbow on the table, and sit comfortably. Swing the pendulum away from your body, and back again, (forward & back) while doing that say this: "This is my Yes. People nod their heads yes, and this is my Yes.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE A "NO" SIGNAL:
Next, swing the pendulum gently, from left to right side, and say this: "This is my No. People shake their heads No, and this is my No. Water Dowsers use many methods used to determine specific information such as the depth of a water vein. I have been water dowsing professionally for about 20 years and I use several methods to determine depth, quality and flow rate.
Pendulum I use a chart with the pendulum. Hold the pendulum over the chart, such as Walt Woods chart in "Letter to Robin.Swing the pendulum over the "0".
Ask the question:How many water veins at this location?,How many feet will the driller have to drill to reach the maximum water flow rate available at this site?, How far down to the first major water vein?,How far down to the 2nd water vein?
What is the maximum safe drilling depth at this location?,What is the minimum flow rate that is recoverable to the surface at this site?,
What is the maximum flow rate that is recoverable to the surface at this site?,What is the quality of the water on a scale of 0 to 10 or 0 to 100?,What is the probability that the driller, (Name) will drill into the water vein and get a minimum of 5 gpm?, (Some drillers have a high incidence of wandering drill bits. Some wander off as much as 30 feet from where they start on the surface).
Divining rods - L-RodsHold the L-rods so they are at an angle to one another and your hands are one over the other.
Ask the question and start counting. When the rods line up , that is your answer.Divining rods - Y-RodHold the Y-rod in the ready position over the well siteAsk the questionStart counting.
When the rod points down to the well, that is your answer.You may like to try the following method that was shown to me by a Dowser who is no longer with us, that does not require the use of a pendulum.
On one of your dowsing rods, make ten marks about 1/4 inch wide and one inch apart.You now have a Scale, on one of your rods, of ten units.
Having located a water source, to find its depth, hold one rod about 5 degrees below the horizontal and mentally instruct it to swing to the left for "No and to the right for "Yes".
Ask if the depth of whatever you have found is between
(a) 1000 and 10,000 feet / metres deep or
(b) between 100 and 1000 feet / metres deep or
(c) between 0 and 100 feet / metres deep.
Unless you are looking for something over 10,000 xxx deep, you will get a "Yes" to either
(a), (b), or (c).Let us say you get a "Yes" for (b) = 100 - 1000 feet. Grip the rod with the 10 unit scale on it firmly. Allow the other rod to swing freely.
Hold both rods at an angle of no more than 5 degrees below the horizontal, with the "free" rod about 1/2 inch above the "firm" rod and ask for the free rod to show the depth in 100s of feet of the top of the source you have found (or whatever units measurement you are using)
The free rod should swing over the fixed rod and stop somewhere. You can then read off the measurement. (say it has stopped between the second and third marks - this represents a depth of between 200 and 300 feet (or other units).
Now, mentally change your scale to 10s of feet and carry out the same procedure. Say the free rod stops between the eighth and ninth marks which now represent 80 and 90 feet, you now have a reading of 280 to 290 feet.
Finally, mentally change your scale to 0 to 10 feet and this time your free rod stops over the second mark which will give you a reading of 282 feet.
This method takes about 5 minutes to explain but, with practice, about 30 seconds to do it accurately.One thing that is rather interesting.
I have found that, when higher numbers are involved, the "free" rod tends to swing to and fro as if gathering momentum for its next "move" up the "fixed" dowsing rod, and when you think of it, the tip of the "free" rod is actually moving uphill.
This Scale Method has many uses where numbers are involved. For example, it can can be used to determine the date of, say, an artifact, very quickly, by asking for single numbers each time but be careful which time scale you use.
I would suggest that you did not use AD or BC but instead used BP (before present) and don't forget that a date_ may_ possibly contain more than four figures. You never know.
So keep asking until you are sure you have it all, then ask if you have, just to make sure.Another method, using only a pendulum, is to ask the following questions having found the source, and using the same depth as found in the method above:
Is the top of this source more than 10000 feet (whatever units) down ? "No"is it more than 1000 feet down ? "No"Is it more than 100 feet down ? - "Yes"Is it between 100 and 500 feet down - "Yes"Is it between 100 and 250 feet down - "No"Is it between 250 and 350 feet down - "Yes" Is it between 250 and 300 feet down - "Yes" Is it between 250 and 275 feet down - " No"and so on until you get the same figure (282 feet)
It will be obvious to you that the pendulum method takes longer, but it depends on which tool you prefer to use or are more comfortable with.The "bishop's" method of determining the water depth goes something like this:
From a starting mark, (could use the well location) ask for an indication of the depth to be the distance from the starting point to the indication as you walk out from the starting point in a straight line.NOTE: This is based on a dowsing principle that cosmic rays when hit the underground water are deflected at an angle of about 45 degrees (in sand or soil) and simple trigonometry of right angle triangle.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE A "CLEARING" SIGNAL: Start by swinging the pendulum in a clock-wise circle, and say the following:"This is my Clearing Signal.
My pendulum goes in a circle when my High Self Committee is clearing something, like a block, program, or negative energy away." Your High Self Committee, your angels and guides will talk to you through the pendulum.
In this way, They can help you more, and give you accurate universal information. This is a tool that you will have for life. If you are not sure, if a vitamin is good for you for example, hold the vitamins in your non-dominant hand, and dowse over it.
Ask: "Is this good for me?" They will tell you Yes, or No. When you ask a question, give the pendulum a twist, in a circle, clockwise, and that will get it started.
Programming Your Subconscious To Use A Pendulum With this method, you will get free information from your High Self Committee, your own Guides and Angels. You can also use numbered charts, so that you can ask percentage type questions.
Like this:
PERCENTAGE QUESTIONS:
"What percentage of good will this new job give me, if I take it?" Then, swing your pendulum in a circle to get it started. They will search around for the right percentage on the numbered chart.
For example, if the pendulum swings to 7, that means 70% benefit. Then, you ask if 70% (for example) is right.
They will say, Yes or No.
DAYS OF THE WEEK:
You can also ask days of the week using the numbers on the chart:1 - Monday2 - Tuesday3 - Wednesday4 - Thursday5 - Friday6 - Saturday7 - Sunday DICTIONARY WORDS:
Ask what page the word is on that your High Self Committee wants to tell you. They will say, for example, page 58. Then you go to page 58 in the dictionary, and ask, if it is the Right or Left column on page 58.
Give the pendulum, a circular twist, and it will go Yes, or No. They will say, for example, that it is the left column on page 58. Then put your pendulum in No mode (left to right side)......
Then, with your free hand, you go down the list with your index finger, until you get a Yes, on your pendulum. So, as you go down the list, you want to start with the pendulum swinging - No. When you hit the right word, it will go Yes. Ask if this is the right word to confirm. ***CLEARING AWAY DISCARNATES (ENTITIES):
Clear and Shield. Ask if you have discarnates (Souls that have died, and left their bodies). If you get a Yes, say: "Clear, and remove. Take them to their proper place, there is no Sin.
God loves them." If the discarnate is still present, you have a nasty one. Say this then: "Shackle, throw them into the Holy Spirit, clear, and remove.
Take them to their proper place, there is no Sin, God loves them." No discarnate, can resist the shackle method. It is very important to stay clear of discarnates (entities, or Souls). Check to make sure that you are clear each day. YOUR OWN ACCURACY TEST:
Use a numbered chart, and ask how accurate you are. Say: "How accurate am I?" It should say 100%. If it does not, ask them to clear and shield you again. Do this until you get a 100% answer.It might take some time to learn the pendulum, so practice a little each day.
The Masters say that all High Souls have used a pendulum before. This is not surprising as pendulums have been around for thousands of years, and some where even found in Egyptian tombs, from over 6,000 years ago.
The Pendulum is a wonderful tool, and will help you through out your life. It is free, easy to use, and you can test your accuracy. Anyone can use it. All you have to do is practice and it will surely bring results.

Health and Well-Being Through Dowsing.
About Dowsing
This page will take you through the following sections, Definition of dowsing, Etymology of the word, a brief History of dowsing, its various Uses and answers the question, Can Anyone Dowse? It then finishes with a short description of Tools & Equipment and gives a Simple Method of dowsing
Definition
To dowse is to search, with the aid of simple hand held tools or instruments, for that which is otherwise hidden from view or knowledge. It can be applied to searches for a great number of artefacts and entities. It is most commonly known by most people in association with searching for underground water; not surprising considering the absolute need for water by man and his animals and cultivated plants which sustain him.
What is less readily known is that dowsing can be also used for searching for other underground features such as archaeological remains, cavities and tunnels, oil, veins of mineral ore, underground building services, missing items and occasionally missing persons.
Although no thorough scientific explanations for dowsing has yet been found it is frequently acknowledged that there is some correlation between the dowsing reaction and changes in magnetic flux when dowsing on site.
What is more difficult for the newcomer to accept is that dowsing can be carried out at a distance and, moreover, the distance itself has no bearing on the results; dowsing can be carried out for something in the next room or the next continent.
This is of immense practical use for site dowsers who save themselves and their clients valuable time by initially, at least, dowsing at a distance to seek the direction of the nearest source, for example, or actually dowsing over a map of an area to determine more precisely the target of the search.
This particular faculty is frequently used by those practitioners using dowsing in the area of health when they are able to dowse for causative factors and suitable remedies at a distance from the patient, employing a sample or witness of the person, for example, on which to focus their attention.
Dowsing has been defined by Major-General Jim Scott-Eliot, a Past President of the Society, in his book 'Dowsing - One Man's Way as: 'The ability to use a Natural Sensitivity which enables us to know things we cannot know by the use of the day to day brain or by learning, by experience, or by the use of the five physical senses.'
Etymology
The origin of the verb is uncertain but was mentioned by in the seventeenth century essay by John Locke Some Considerations of the Consequences of the Lowering of Interest in relation to dowsing for mines of gold or silver. He spelled the word deusing whilst most modern dictionaries spell it dowsing or dousing.
Pronunciation varies from the common to rhyme with browse to the rarer to rhyme with house. In either case dowsers will readily recognise the term. Not infrequently water dowsing is referred to as water divining (in North America water witching). As the French for dowser is sourcier and that for witch sorcier, it takes no great stretch of the imagination to understand the confusion in some quarters about the erroneous idea that the art of dowsing is aligned to some devilish activity. To most, though, the activity is a natural activity of mankind.
The word dowsing as spelled today first appeared in 1831 in The Quarterly Mining Review and it is possible that the word was taken from the Cornish as was suggested by Frederick Jago in his 1887 English-Cornish Dictionary. Alternatively it could be borrowed from the German deuten, to' indicate' or 'point out', or the Middle English word duschen to 'strike', echoing the action of a dowsing rod as it 'strikes' downward to indicate the presence of water.
History
Whilst it must be accepted that the idea that the biblical Moses, in striking the rock to bring forth much needed water, was demonstrating his skill as a dowser cannot be proven, it is surely likely that the faculty is as old as man, as is man's need for potable water to survive.
We have to rely on illustrations and the written word for evidence of dowsing practice. The mosaic floor in the ancient synagogue at Bet Alfa in Israel's Jezreel Valley contains a zodiac with a figure under Aquarius holding what could well be a forked dowsing rod.
A bas relief in the Shantung Province of China shows Yu, a 'master of the science of the earth and in those matters concerning water veins and springs'. The figure is holding a forked instrument rather like a tuning fork.
In 1556 Georgius Agricola published his work De Re Metallica which clearly shows dowsing activity in the woodcut therein. One dowser is shown cutting a branch from a tree, whilst two others are shown in the act of dowsing using forked twigs, whilst surrounded by miners digging.
Just shortly after this publication, during Elizabeth I reign, German miners were employed in England to gain the zinc ore necessary to blend with the Cornish copper to make bronze for the armaments of the realm. J W Gough relates in his The Mines of Mendip how 'great faith was placed in the virtues of the divining rod'.
Many references to dowsing occur during the seventeenth century including reportage of the activities of Jacques Aymar who, starting as a successful water dowser, found in the 1690s he could also usefully employ his gift in searching for missing persons.
1693 saw the publication of La Verge de Jacob which gives many instances of the use of dowsing rods.
By the beginning of the eighteenth century it is clear that enquirers into the modus operandi of dowsing were divided into two camps; those who believed that the dowsing reaction was the result of a physical influence against those who lent support to the idea of it arising from a mental cause. This controversy remains with us today and it is possible that both may be correct.
During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries dowsing for water to mark the spot for drilling wells and boreholes was a well established practice with exponents such as Mullins and Tompkins combining their practice as dowsers with the business of well drilling, frequently offering their services on the basis of 'no water, no fee', so confident were they in their abilities.
During the twentieth century dowsing organisations began to be formed with the French Les Amis de la Radiesthesie founded in 1931 whilst this Society was founded by Colonel A H Bell, OBE, DSO, MRI two years later.
Since then many societies have been formed all over the world, expanding the knowledge and practice of dowsing in all its forms. Whilst a scientific explanations still eludes us the subject attracts those who, working usually from a scientific methodology more appropriate to a Newtonian view of the universe, seek to detract from the credibility otherwise afforded to the art. The true value and worth of dowsing can be verified from the track record of successful dowsers and the experience of those who willingly spend good money in employing them today.
Uses
The best results are obtained when the dowser has expert knowledge of the field in which he or she employs their dowsing skills. Apart from the subtle interaction between exoteric and esoteric knowledge which may assist success, a dowser with expert knowledge in the geology of water and its qualities, for example, is all the more able to bring discernment into play to rightly question the dowsing results found so as to avoid error. It scarcely need be said that in many areas, particularly when dowsing the causes of ill health, such a level of knowledge is vital.
The uses of dowsing are many and include the following:-
Water The search for water is an important and practical exposition of the art. In addition to predicting the position where water may be successfully found a good dowser will also be able to indicate its portability, depth, volume, pressure and the sort of geological strata that will have to be drilled through to reach the source.
Whilst most people have some idea of water lying underground as a water table dowsers are also able to pinpoint water lying in underground streams or aquifers when adjacent drilling would only be into dry rock.
Archaeological Searches Dowsers are able to detect changes in soil formations beneath the surface and to find hidden foundations of earlier buildings.
Soil testing and Agriculture Soils can be analysed for acidity, organic content and nutrient status. Plants and animals can be checked for diseases and seeds for germination.
Mineral and Oil Prospecting As indicated above the use of dowsing in searching for minerals is ages old and in more recent times the art has been successfully used to locate oil fields.
Site surveys Dowsing has been employed to locate hidden and dangerous mine shafts, underground tunnels and all manner of building services such as electricity, gas, water, telephone lines on building sites.
Healing and Medicine Dowsing is widely used to detect and seek the causes of imbalance leading to poor health as well as determining the most suitable remedies. Food intolerance and allergies is another area where dowsing has been of help.
Earth energies The study of the energy patterns associated with standing stones, circles and other ancient sites can be greatly assisted by the use of dowsing. How these energies interact with more modern buildings and the people who dwell therein can be determined with the use of the dowsing faculty and advice given on how to minimise malign effects
Missing Objects Although a difficult and problematic area for many dowsers, success in this area has been clearly demonstrated. Again, expert advice should be sought.
Can Anyone Dowse?
Basically, we think the answer is yes, insofar as the ability appears to be a natural human faculty. After all animals have the instinct to seek water often from many mile distant. It is a skill which can be taught and the Society regularly holds lectures, courses and workshops to this end. However, a few people do appear to have some difficulty, whilst at the other end of the spectrum lie those who have a particular gift.
Young children often demonstrate a natural flair for dowsing but most of us can develop the art by practise and perseverance.
Tools and Equipment
The instruments and tools dowsers use are simple. For the most part they are simply an extension of the human response giving clearer signals than can sometimes be detected without them.
V Rod Traditionally made from a forked twig, this instrument can be made up from any springy material such as wood, cane, plastic or metal.
Angle Rods These are L shaped rods, usually used in pairs. The sorter arm of the L is held in the closed palm with the long section parallel to the ground and to each other. Typically, when the target is reached the rods will cross indicating the spot.
Wand This is a single long rod held in the hand and will react with circular or oscillating movements.
Pendulum A bob on a twine reacts with a number of different movements and is often used in conjunction with charts or over a map for distant dowsing.
There are a large variety of such tools and they come in all shapes and sizes but they are almost all variations of the above.
A Simple Dowsing Method
This example uses two Angle rods which can be simply and quickly made from a pair of metal coat hangers cut appropriately and bent into a right angle. The short arm of the L is placed in the closed hand with just enough pressure to allow the long arm to swivel but not to wave about uncontrollably. Some people prefer to place the short arm inside a tube such as that obtained from an old ball point pen and this is a matter of personal preference.
The long arms of the rods are held parallel to the ground and parallel to each other as the dowser walks forward over the search area. It is sometimes helpful, in order to bring some degree of stability to the search mode to allow the long arms of the rods to dip down just a little to prevent wild swings of the rods giving false indications.
It is important for the dowser to have a clear mental focus of that which is being sought. Additionally it can be helpful to hold a small sample of the substance sought in the palm of one hand.
When the site of the target is reached, typically the rods will swing together and cross. The spot can be marked. This can be checked by walking towards this point from the opposite direction. If the target lies along a line, such as an underground water pipe or stream, the action can be repeated to the right and left of the original search with markers being laid down on the ground to indicate the run of the line. Alternatively the run can be followed, holding the rods as before, when it is likely that the rods will move to the left if you walk to the right of the line or right if you walk to the left.
Occasionally other dowsing signals will be given and in this case it is necessary for the dowsers to categorise and interpret their own signals in the light of experience.
The depth of the target can be determined by use of what is known as The Bishop's Rule. Having established the site of the target, the search mode is again adopted and the dowser walks away from the target until the rods again cross. This can be checked by walking away in the opposite direction. The distance from the target to where the rods cross is equal to the depth underground. Obviously there are limits to this technique depending on the nature of the terrain.
More sophisticated dowsing techniques can be learnt and a good place to start is to attend a Beginners Course.

The long arms of the rods are held parallel to the ground and parallel to each other as the dowser walks forward over the search area. It is sometimes helpful, in order to bring some degree of stability to the search mode to allow the long arms of the rods to dip down just a little to prevent wild swings of the rods giving false indications.
It is important for the dowser to have a clear mental focus of that which is being sought. Additionally it can be helpful to hold a small sample of the substance sought in the palm of one hand.
When the site of the target is reached, typically the rods will swing together and cross. The spot can be marked. This can be checked by walking towards this point from the opposite direction. If the target lies along a line, such as an underground water pipe or stream, the action can be repeated to the right and left of the original search with markers being laid down on the ground to indicate the run of the line. Alternatively the run can be followed, holding the rods as before, when it is likely that the rods will move to the left if you walk to the right of the line or right if you walk to the left.
Occasionally other dowsing signals will be given and in this case it is necessary for the dowsers to categorise and interpret their own signals in the light of experience.
The depth of the target can be determined by use of what is known as The Bishop's Rule. Having established the site of the target, the search mode is again adopted and the dowser walks away from the target until the rods again cross. This can be checked by walking away in the opposite direction. The distance from the target to where the rods cross is equal to the depth underground. Obviously there are limits to this technique depending on the nature of the terrain.
More sophisticated dowsing techniques can be learnt and a good place to start is to attend a Beginners Course.
