Which Are The Dowsing Techniques You Want To Develop?

You'll find a lot of talk about the best dowsing techniques to use for various types of situations.

With very few exceptions, I can honestly state that it doesn't really matter which technique you use, as long as it does the job.

For example, I have seen someone dowsing using the twitching of their arm to decide which vitamins to take. It looks silly, I wouldn't use it in public, but it worked for her!

I tend to rely more and more on deviceless dowsing more than anything else. But that's because I want results quickly and often I'm talking with clients on the phone. So, it's easier for me to use this technique rather than rely on a pendulum.

When I'm writing notes, why bother picking up a tool and swapping to a pen and back again? Just do it while writing. It make sense for me. But other people prefer their own methods. (Some people can dowse with one hand and write with the other. I'm not one of them.)

Some techniques

Before going further, it's worth just pointing out what the word technique means: "A practical method or art applied to some particular task." In other words, the dowsing techniques I'll be mentioning here (with links to more detail) are just some of the particular tasks you can use it for.

Think of it like playing golf. You can play a pretty good game of golf, but your putting technique might be less than you would like. So it is with dowsing. Generally, you can be a pretty good dowser, but there are some aspects of it which you know are weak.

Sure, you know how to hold a pendulum or use an L-rod, but there's still the practical aspect of finding water, or checking auras or selecting restaurants or any of the hundred different things you can do with dowsing.

These are the dowsing techniques.

• Divining the future
• Ghost hunting
• Dowsing to detect pregnancy
• Health dowsing
• Garden dowsing
• Treasure dowsing
• Map dowsing

Divining the future

This is often one of the first things novices get into when learning to dowse.

And why not? After all, it is probably the single most intriguing thing in the universe, isn't it? 'What's going to happen in the future?"

It can be tricky to do, however. A lot of it relies on your mindset. Divining,as a subset of dowsing, is certainly most interesting, but often the most challenging.

Ghost Hunting

A lot of people are fascinated by ghosts and they want to go out ghost hunting.

(Personally, I've never understood the interest in this. But maybe that's because as part of our work my wife Maggie and I clear ghosts which are bothering people. I have no need to go out finding them, our clients bring us to them!)

There are all sorts of gadgets available to sue in this business. But I prefer dowsing. Ghosts hunting can be a simple dowsing technique and it can develop into something more complex. It's up to you.

Dowsing to detect pregnancy

This is an old favorite. In fact, it just might be the oldest dowsing technique of all.

Perhaps you've heard of this, or even done it?

Of course, the great thing is that you're going to find out the answer sooner or later, so you get to know how accurate you are!

Health dowsing

Again, hugely popular amongst dowsers. And you can take this into so many different areas of health that it can seem virtually limitless.

Garden dowsing

Using dowsing in the garden can be very interesting, especially if you have always enjoyed this outside activity. This is one dowsing technique which can really open up your eyes (if you're ready for that, of course).

Treasure dowsing

This also probably ranks highly amongst novices. The lure of treasure is very strong to some people. That can be both a blessing and a curse if you are looking to strengthen this area of your dowsing.

Map dowsing

This is the one aspect of dowsing which seems to cause the most problem for skeptics. I have no idea why, but it is often the case. In essence, map-dowsing is very simple indeed, but it can reveal a mass of unexpected detail!

Although I have only selected a few techniques to look at, they can be applied to a variety of other tasks.

All it takes is a little practice and you become a better dowser by adding more dowsing techniques to your repertoire.
