Dowsing is the process of using a tool such as a pendulum or rod to discover things that cannot be discovered using our everyday senses. It has in the past been associated primarily with the finding of water sources. In later years dowsing has been used to find oil and gas, minerals, water, lost objects, and lost people. A pendulum can also be used to determine your state of health and whether particular medicines, supplements, etc should be taken. You can also dowse for health-care services, find or create healing spaces, and locate a safe place to place our bed or working area.The Pendulum
A pendulum is nothing more than a communication device. It has no power and no ability to move. Although no one knows how or why dowsing works, it is most commonly thought that the movement of the pendulum is controlled through or by your subconscious (or something of that nature). Any object hung from a piece of string is a pendulum. As dowsing pendulums can be purchased in all sizes, shapes and materials, it is important only that you choose a tool that you're comfortable with for all pendulums work equally well for experienced dowsers.
In fact, it is important not to impose any beliefs on yourself that a particular pendulum is better than another. If your favourite crystal pendulum isn't available, a ring placed on a necklace will work just as well. (Copyright Lisa Williams)
