What is dowsing, and how does it work?

The British Society of Dowsers (BSD) defines dowsing as follows on their britishdowsing.net website.

Dowsing

The art of discovering the presence of energies, substances, objects or missing persons or things not apparent to the senses, usually by using rods, pendulums, etc. Dowsing can also be carried out without the use of tools. This is called deviceless dowsing.

Dowsing is generally divided into three categories: physical or site dowsing, map or distance dowsing and information dowsing. The word ‘dowsing’ derives from medieval German (da sein) which means ‘it is there’; its first recorded use was by John Lock in 1692.

It was practiced in ancient times, long before scientists told us about different brain wave frequencies, quantum entanglement and Plasma science. It is a method of using your subconscious to get a physical response from tools like dowsing rods or a pendulum or your own body.

In our normal, everyday lives we operate on Beta brainwaves, between 12.5 to 30 hz, so we can focus on what practicalities need to be done.

When we dowse, we put ourselves into a state of ‘relaxed concentration’ to help us find whatever we’re looking for. Our brain waves move into Alpha, between 8-12 hz which are associated with meditation and calmness.

In that state that dowsers get their response to, say, if a nutritional supplement is beneficial for them, or where to sink a borehole for a well, or finding Earth’s subtle electro-magnetic energies, and much, much more.
