Dowsing is a way to know things that we are unable to perceive with our normal senses. It is an ancient art, known as ‘divining’, and it was certainly used by the Egyptians and perhaps even earlier. Animals, birds and marine life use this sensitivity, but humans have mainly lost the use of this sense.
Dowsing is believed to have arisen from early mankind’s links to the earth, his sensitivity to its energy fields, and his passion for creating what we term today, sacred sites.
Most people are aware of water diviners finding underground water, but dowsers can use it for finding any subsurface features – electricity, gas, telephone cables and archaeological foundations and ditches. It can also be used for analysing health problems.
Oil and mining companies regularly use dowsers to detect new resources. The Russians use the technique for surveying, even from the air; and teach it at university level to geophysicists and geologists.
In the early 20th century Royal Engineers used dowsing for finding water and detecting explosive land mines. In 1933 a group of engineers founded the British Society of Dowsers. Sixty years later the Dowsing Research Group was formed to discover the fundamental science behind this subject. Its work has revealed a plethora of links to frontier science.
Dowsing is a respectable branch of biophysics and has strong links to the study of consciousness, and the topic of non-locality; a subject of intense investigation in quantum physics.
So if you see a plumber using bent pieces of wire to find where the water pipes run, say to yourself, I could do that! At the same time, realise that this simple task is a significant factor in the emerging paradigm of universal connectedness.
