Radiesthesia is the principle behind dowsing: the use of pendulums, divining rods, or other means to track and evaluate elecgtromagnetic fields in the body or the earth. Dowsing involves sensing changes in the dowsing instrument and one’s own intuitive self to obtain information, receive answers to questions, diagnose health conditions in self or others, and discover what lies under land – such as in dowsing for water or determining origns of geopathic stress. Dowsing is also used to determine the extent of a subject’s field.
The use of dowsing stretches back through history; Queen Cleopatra, for instance, was known to employ dowsers to obtain information, and some experts believe that dowsing goes back seven thousand years.
The fundamental belief behind radiesthesia is that everything emits energy or radiation. A pendulum serves as a medium connecting the dowser and an energetic source, such as land, or the dowser and another person’s unconscious. The pendulum or rod receives information from the field emitted by people or places, which the dowser then interprets.
Besides a pendulum, dowsers often use Y-shaped rods made of hazelnut, beech, alder, or copper. An interesting aspect of preparing a dowsing tool for us is that the practitioner uses verbal insturction to “tell” it which direction indicates a “yes” or a “no”.
