HISTORY OF DOWSING:
In the old days, despite the lack of hydrogeological equipment, our ancestors found with great accuracy underground springs and ground waters close to the surface of the earth for wells with the help of a vine-like twig. The man with it walked along the terrain, holding the twig in front of him with both hands and carefully following the fluctuations of its free end, and in the place where it suddenly leaned to the ground, people were supposed to dig a well, which they did without long talks - the accuracy of these forecasts was so high.
In the modern world this phenomenon is called 'dowsing'. It is the ability of a person to determine the presence and location of any objects, items, and get information from the past and the future with the help of dowsing indicators. In addition, dowsing methods used in the practice of channeling to communicate with the spirits.
Dowsing is one of the oldest of magical arts. There is evidence of the use of the pendulum or plumb with this purpose in ancient cultures of India, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome... Priest with a pendulum, rural water seeker with a twig... This practice came to us from depth of centuries, very little changed in its essence.
In Europe, the Church was forbidding such practices the Papal decrees from the XIII century, but Europe has known a real vogue for this at the time. Despite its ban, the Church was continued the study of this phenomenon. Jesuit scholars proved that the twig never bends to the water or the metal objects, if it is not in the hands of the person, but simply attached to the support, and quite unexpectedly, they came to the correct conclusion that 'the cause of the movement of the twig in the desires of man and directed his intentions'. In the XIX century games with 'magic pendulum' became a fixture of the high society salons.
Even then, the researchers had the impression that the energy source driving the 'magic pendulum' is the man himself with his unconscious appreciation of forms of mental activities, which are reflected in a number of physiological reactions: the heart, stomach, intestines, blood vessels, involuntary motor reactions, the expansions and contractions of the pupil, etc. Humanity loves to open the ancient knowledge. Would be not lost it better.
Scientists studying the properties of the motion of the pendulum in the hands of man, spoke about the emergence of a new science, the journalists told the audience that with the help of the new invention, which is an oscillating pendulum, dowsers can determine the sex of the chick still in the egg, everyone was talking about the great prospects of dowsing... Then the boom is gone, to appear again in the eighties of the XX century, in the wake of the studies of extrasensory perception.
In Russia from 1967 to 1976 according to the dowsing method made 1220 drilling wells of water for agriculture, and only 8% of them were anhydrous. From wells made according to the geophysics was 18% anhydrous. We have countless examples of using dowsing in geology to search any resources. If the dowser will tuned into the copper the twig vine will show the deposits of copper, if he will tuned into the molybdenum - it is too... In addition, dowsers was found various items, problems with any radio equipment - both on the equipment and the schemes, and taken the information about suspected, but not yet accomplished events. Many authors talked about the great future of dowsing, but they often forgot that the age of this phenomenon is older than the Egyptian pyramids...
Now the range of application of the dowsing can be very wide: the mineral exploration, diagnosis of diseases (even early on)... It's any kind of search. Significantly enriched the arsenal of dowsing tools. Now, in addition to twigs used by a variety of tools - pendulums, frames, hinges, all that can somehow to fluctuate, to stagger, to wobble. The choice of dowsing tools is great, but, nevertheless, I find it unnecessary to consider them all. A man who understands the principles of dowsing, able to adapt as dowsing tools virtually any subject. In our practice of learning dowsing, we will focus on the pendulum which complete identity with other devices on the working principle and features, but it has a major advantage: the small size and easy using.
PRACTICE OF DOWSING:
So, take the pendulum. Ideally, for this purpose you can take hanging on a thread ring, but you can use any weight too: nut, stone, piece of chalk, etc. The color and material from which made the thread doesn't matter. In the literature on the subject, describes dozens of variants of constructions of pendulums and other special items, with comments, which cases are better suited. With all confidence I can say - it's a myth, it is absolutely no need for the complication of the method that just works. The pendulum is only an indicator of the guessing device, which is the man himself, and the pendulum - only picks up the unconscious ideomotor movements of the body.
Appropriate here is a thought: ideomotor movement is a manifestation of the part of the human psyche that is not under the control of consciousness. Our unconscious, as told to a psychoanalyst. And, then, the phenomenon of dowsing directly reflects the fact that people are feels, knows, or can know everything they needs at any particular time, already but unconsciously,. The problem is to bring this knowledge to a conscious level. What happens, just still primitive, in the practice of dowsing methods, when the use of pendulum allows us to transform the silent knowledge arising from our underlying unity with all that is, in a simple and visible signals: yes or no.
When we use dowsing we can to observe, to see and to feel this close and deep connection between person and the surrounding world. This connection is in the nature of human perception and its inherent in each, and at the same time people have not it in their daily mind... That, in principle, can be remedied with proper training.
So the requirement for the object, dangling on a thread is a simple using. I hope this is not a dumbbell. Another option is to use a power objects, amulets, etc., Such an approach could bring interesting results, but it's a slightly different topic, and for initial practice not needed. The main thing to it is liked for the soul.
Well, the pendulum is in your hands, that does not mean that you keep it correctly. Sit freely and relaxed, it is especially necessary to monitor for the relaxation of the shoulder and that hand in which it is. Keep the hand freely at eye level. Do not press the elbow to the body and not put it on the table: if the pendulum catches your ideomotor movements - give them space. The optimum height of the thread somewhere 15-25 cm. You need to catch the state of 'sensitive relaxing'.
We need to make a general settings. Vividly imagine that under the pendulum from left to right are drawn the horizontal line, and the pendulum in your hand swinging over this line from right to left. As we can see, it really starts to swing. Great, now draw perpendicular line and imagine that the pendulum swinging over this line back and forth. You will see how it will really change the direction of the swinging. If you imagine a circle is under the pendulum, it will start to rotating. Play with the pendulum, feel the movements, get used to it, because we have to begin to testing dowsing search now. Don't worry, the experience of all who the study of this phenomenon shows that, in average, for 50% of the people taking up the pendulum, it starts working immediately and the remaining requires a small time for exercises.
For the next experiment take four thimbles and a single pea. Put the pea on the table, cover it with a one of thimble. Close your eyes and mix the thimbles unconsciously. Open your eyes. So, we have four identical thimbles, under one of which hides the pea. Attention, now you have to find it using a pendulum, and to make this experience ten times in a row. The mathematical probability of a successful outcome of such an experiment is very small. But don't worry, practice shows that people, if they try, can show and more fantastic results.
First you have to program the pendulum, or rather, your subconscious mind, which makes pendulum swings what you will be seen as a positive response 'Yes' and which as a negation 'No'. The choice, in fact, arbitrary, but I recommend you to stay at optimum for a beginner 'physiological' choice. What do you do when does not agree? - You do the rocking motion of head from right to left. And, when you agree, you are nodding. Well, let's agree that the pendulum swings from right to left would mean 'No' and when it swinging front to back would mean 'Yes'.
Choice one of thimbles. Imagine a pea... whether it Is under that thimble? The Pendulum needs to come in a motion. If it does not immediately, take your time. Let's see in which direction the pendulum is swinging. Suppose left and right. So 'No'. Go to the next thimble. By the way, you do not have to keep the pendulum directly above the thimble. You can be at least in another corner of the room, in another room, in another planet, but you must be focused on this thimble.
Well, the pendulum indicates "Yes". Flip the thimble. It is right? If yes - so good, continue in a same spirit, if not - please read the instruction 'About the most common causes of failure when using a dowsing search method' in the imminent continuation of the article.
