Learning to be a Dowser
(Also check out the video page)
We learned to listen to animals through dowsing, and that was the way we taught it. A few times a year, we would decide to teach, and this was our routine.
The class ran from 10 a.m. until 2 or 2:30 p.m. The learning was fast-paced, and by the end of the day, students were often excited to be doing things they had no idea they could do.
We began with a very brief history of dowsing. Moses was a dowser. There was a great deal of information about dowsing history in libraries and on the internet. The first thing we did was show the four main tools used in modern-day dowsing: the pendulum, L rods, Y rod, and the bobber.
Next, we would go outside to demonstrate how the tools behaved and then hand them over so participants could locate underground electric and telephone lines. There were also septic lines, fresh water lines, and an underground stream to locate. We encouraged participants to linger over each item as they located them in order to feel the energy they gave. Each was slightly different—sometimes difficult to define, sometimes very easy. The most important thing we taught all day came next.
We taught how to put a protective light force around oneself, one's property, and loved ones. We believed this was the most important lesson, because it could be used daily. This light energy force could be placed around anything cherished to protect it from harmful thought forms. Any negative or harmful thoughts sent were returned to the sender with love.
While lunch was being prepared, students learned to program their pendulums to better understand what their Angels were telling them. This part was a bit difficult but did not need to be mastered that day—just understood. It took me almost four months to get it down pat. After lunch, we provided a drawing of a local property for students to analyze in order to locate negative energy fields and other underground objects. They then drew their own properties and worked through those to find any possible harmful energy. We showed how to neutralize that energy or change it to positive energy. Each student took their drawing home to verify their findings.
As confidence grew, we provided an animal to analyze. There was only a slight difference in going over the animal compared to the property. Students would go over the horse to look for possible problems, then compare their findings with mine. We would then visit the first property dowsed for negative energy to verify their marks on the drawing. Students were often amazed at how close their markings were to the actual locations. That was all that needed to be done. It certainly beat walking over the entire property looking for something. While outside, we also demonstrated how we located lost objects and how to use a map to find lost animals. Students learned a way to show them the path home.
This was about all we could absorb in one day—and about all I could teach. It was a strenuous day for all of us, but well worth the effort. Those accepted were approved by our Angels, who believed the time was right for them to receive this information. By accepting only four students a day, we ensured everyone received personal attention—though not so much that they leaned on me to find things for them. There were many ways to do most of the things we taught. If another way was more comfortable for someone, they were encouraged to use it. We belonged to the KISS school of learning—Keep It Simple, Stupid. Some exercises were very easy for some and difficult for others. It was unlikely that everything would come easily. Students were encouraged to spend many hours practicing their new skills—ideally at least twenty minutes every day—until they were confident they understood everything they heard or felt.
Students were advised to find a buddy among the other attendees. It was much easier to look at an animal for someone else than to look at their own—especially when emotionally involved.
Learning to dowse was very much like learning to play a musical instrument. Years ago in New Zealand, I taught a woman from Holland who had been practicing Feng Shui for years. She wanted to learn dowsing to complement her other skills. At the end of the day, she said:
“Oh William, this has been a wonderful day. It is like learning to play the violin. You have shown me how to hold the instrument and where all the notes are. Now all I have to do is practice.”
She became an excellent dowser and was known throughout Europe and New Zealand for her Feng Shui expertise.
The class began on time, so those who were late missed some things. We asked students to bring an open mind, a hungry heart, and a rested body. We furnished the necessary dowsing tools and lunch.
If someone was interested in coming to Warsaw for lessons, we asked them to send an email expressing their interest. We kept a list and, when we selected a date, we sent notices to those on the list.
The first six to respond were accepted for that date. We always consulted our Angels again to confirm whether it was the right time for that individual to learn. The cost of the class was $300.00 USD with a $50.00 deposit. If someone wanted us to teach in their area, we encouraged them to get in touch, as it might have been possible to organize a session.
Happy dowsing.
