About Dowsing
Dowsing (Water Witching, Divining, Questing, Doodlebugging...)
is the ancient art (skill) of finding water, minerals, objects,
and/or information on just about anything you can imagine, including:

- Business/financial issues
- Lost items and people

The dowser asks a question about the object or information he/she
is seeking, and utilizes a dowsing instrument, such as a pendulum,
L-rod, Y-rod, or bobber to amplify and interpret the "answer"
that is received intuitively by the dowser's brain or body. Dowsing
instruments are mechanical amplifiers of small neuromuscular reflexes
that happen in the body when a person dowses.
Many studies have been done to demonstrate how the act of dowsing
affects the body, and more interestingly, a person's brainwave
states. For those of a scientific bent, you'll find the brain
wave research by Ed Stillman (see American Dowser Quarterly Digest,
Spring 1998) quite interesting, along with an exceptional book
on the history of dowsing entitled The
Divining Hand by Christopher Bird.
No one is really sure where dowsers are getting their information.
It could be from the subconscious or superconscious mind of the
dowser, it could be from some universal library in the sky, it
could be from God. All we (dowsers) know is that the information
does come if you know how to move your mind into a dowsing state
and how to ask the right questions.
Anyone can learn to dowse. From there, mastery of the skill is
just like anything else---it takes practice. A terrific basic
primer on how to dowse is entitled Letter
to Robin. This book, written by Walt Woods, is an excellent
mini-course in pendulum dowsing. It is easy to read and will quickly
teach you all the basics of pendulum dowsing and beyond. Walt
Woods is an exceptional dowser and the past president of the American
Society of Dowsers (ASD). You can print out Letter to Robin for
FREE from this site. For other books about dowsing, visit the
American Society of Dowsers Bookstore Online.
