Overcoming some of the problems encountered
when dowsing for water,
and other dowsing-related subjects
Problems to watch out for
Clay:
Most dowsers find it difficult to work with clay as it tends to throw
the depth counts out. I found I could overcome this problem by adding
20% to the depth count when dealing with clay – with one exception, which
is ‘Marley Clay’. With this type of clay I have found that
I must double my depth count. This may be different for other people.
Keeping
an ‘open mind’ when approaching a site:
I have found it is important to clear your mind of everything and just
concentrate on the source of water that you seek. You must ignore what
other people might say or infer about the site as it could cause confusion
and deflect you from the true source of water.
Reaction
Lines:
As you may know, there are seven reaction lines to each flow system. Six
of these will move and never stay the same. The one you need to look for
is the one which remains stationary all the time. It is advisable when
learning dowsing that when you approach a source of water you peg out
the reaction lines. Once that has been completed, wait 2 to 3 hours then
repeat your checks on your markers. You will notice the first three that
you approach side on will have moved, whereas the fourth one will remain
in exactly the same position. As you cross beyond the flow itself the
three reaction lines on the other side again would have moved. With a
lot of experience you can eliminate the reaction lines and go straight
to the source.
Over-confidence:
I have learnt to treat every site/location with caution. It is important
never to get overconfident or complacent. Treat each site as if it was
your first.
Permission:
First, how I get permission: Many, many years ago I learnt the importance
of asking for permission, when a client approached me and asked me if
I would do some dowsing for him on the Stock Market. At the time I was
very dubious about even doing it, but the client insisted and even although
I warned him that he could lose everything and that I too could be punished,
he still insisted. Needless to say, he did take the gamble and lost many
thousands of pounds and I too did not get away with it. I was unable to
dowse again for eighteen months. Ever since then I have always asked for
permission, whether it would be for dowsing a borehole and the cost of
it, or whether it would be to search for gold or oil and gas, or map dowsing.
Ever since that time, when I lost the art of dowsing, I have realised
that it is definitely a gift which has been given to us dowsers by God,
and for us not to abuse this gift.
Checking
your work:
The next point I would like to make is that I always check my work periodically
during the process of dowsing. I check to make sure that I am still positive
and not negative. The reason why I check this way is because you don’t
know when you become negative.
I also believe never to be overconfident on approaching a job. Treat every job as if it was your first.
Moving on from water:
I have found that after many years of research I am able to locate copper, silver, lead and gold. I have successfully helped to locate several gold veins. I have also found that I am able to locate oil and gas structures.
