Dowsing to Detect Pregnancy:
Simple Guidelines

If I was asked to name a practical application of dowsing, then I'd have to say that dowsing to detect pregnancy and also to determine the sex of the child(ren) is a wonderful way of trying out your skill.

It is also probably amongst the oldest ways of using dowsing as it is practiced nowadays.

Traditionally, it used to be done with a ring (usually the mother-to-be's wedding ring) on a thread. This makes a very simple pendulum.

What happens next varies from person to person, but the basics are the same.

How to do it

Take your pendulum and, with the woman to be checked lying down on her back, hold the pendulum over her belly.

For some people, a rotation of the pendulum clockwise would indicate pregnancy, to others, it would be counter-clockwise. (Still others might say that it was indicated by a back and forth or to and fro movement.)

The point to bear in mind here is that you have to be quite clear in your mind which movement for you indicates pregnancy or not and you should have practiced beforehand to make sure that you get a clear response.

So, with your pendulum at the ready, ask your question; 'Is this woman under my pendulum pregnant at this time?' Then watch for the response.

Note the question asked. It is very precise. You are dowsing to detect pregnancy in the woman in front of you, not someone else who happens to flit into your mind . And you want to know about the pregnancy now, not some time in the future.

You can ask the question out loud or just hear it in your head. It doesn't matter at all.

Of course, the great thing about dowsing to detect pregnancy is that you are going to know whether you were right or wrong in a short while (assuming you stay on good terms with the woman!).

In other words, it's a great way to practice your dowsing accuracy (as well as your pendulum dowsing).

But there's more!

The next thing to do, after dowsing to detect pregnancy, is to dowse the sex of the child(ren).

Here's where you can go wrong, however. Don't assume it's just one child. It could be twins (or more!). So ask that first.

Then ask for the sex of each child. Make a note. (You can always keep these notes to yourself if the mother-to-be doesn't want to know ahead of time.)

One thing to avoid...

Just because you feel you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it.

If there's a female relative nearby who's talking about becoming pregnant, it's nothing to do with you unless you get asked!

You can always offer your dowsing to detect pregnancy, but be prepared to accept a 'No, thank you'.

But, like I said, it's a great way to really check how accurate you are. After all, the most you're going to have to wait is a little under nine months. And that time is usually much shorter.

Often ultrasound will detect the sex of the child long before birth, and you would normally be invited to dowse after a month or two has gone by. So, in reality, the wait can be less than a month.

Finally, if you get the opportunity to do this, take it eagerly! It is an absolutely great way of sharpening up your skill using someone else to give you the result.
