Dowsing For Beginners

Diane: Yes, you need to be in a state of relaxed concentration.

Diane: Easy to say but not easy to do! :-)

Pooky: Don't I know it sometimes..lol

Diane: You want to be able to concentrate just on your dowsing so being alone, feeling energetic are important.

CandyHOST: sorry for the interruption Diane please go on

Diane: We were just talking about how hard it is to concentrate on your dowsing.

Doris: Pooky, I have the same as you, I believe ... one tab ""Rooms"" and the other ""healing2""

Diane: It is difficult to sort of stand back and and not be overly concerned about what your pendulum is doing.

CandyHOST: Pooky if yo go to the rooms tab, click on healing1 room and join, that should do it

Diane: I have those tabs too.

CandyHOST: Diane I have been using a pendulum for years and years

Diane: Perhaps I should wait a few minutes before continuing?

CandyHOST: no one else is coming over right Morri?

CandyHOST: so you can go on Diane

Diane: Great, thanks!

MorriganHOST: I'm sooo sorry diane..what's your last name again/

MorriganHOST: ?

Diane: Does anyone have a specific question?

Diane: Marcotte

MorriganHOST: ty

Diane: yw

Pooky: What is the best type of pendulum...metal, crystal or...?

CandyHOST: after using pendulum for many years, I am now able to separate myself from the questions

Pooky: How do you separate Candy?

Diane: I believe anything works as a pendulum. It is important not to impose any beliefs from others on yourself. And that includes what you hear from me tonight! LOL

CandyHOST: Pooky I take some deep breaths, then ask the answers to come from my Higher Self

MorriganHOST: LOL

CandyHOST: lol

Pooky: lol

Doris: I would like to dowse to try to find out if a homeless cat that I had been feeding is OK? She hasn't been seen since October. Would holding a picture of her help with my dowsing?

Diane: Mainly I want to emphasize that dowsing is simple. Not only simple to learn but the mechanics of it are simple. There are no rules!

MorriganHOST: how did you get started dowsing Diane?

CandyHOST: I have always used something that I have worn or that was mine; or if some thing else, I then cleanse first

Diane: Doris...yes sometimes that helps. It helps to focus your thoughts.

Diane: It is called a ""witness'.

Diane: It is important though to realize that you don't have to have a photo.

Pooky: Does the answer(s) come clearer when you have a witness?

Diane: It is all too easy to start believing that you need something (a photo, a lock of hair, etc.) to get results.

MorriganHOST: they are just a focusing tool though right?

Diane: About 6 years ago, Morrigan, I took a course on dowsing.

CandyHOST: that would be neat; never done that

Diane: It involved 3 Saturdays and a weekend field trip. It was great.

CandyHOST: I bet; it sounds like fun

MorriganHOST: maybe you could give us a brief intro on who you are and what dowsing is?? there is a dowsing society that you belong to right?

MorriganHOST: oops sorry I guess being late got me behind

Diane: No, Pooky, you don't need a witness to get clear answers. If you decide to use a witness in the beginning that would be fine.

CandyHOST: I was wondering the same myself Morri

Diane: But once your dowsing starts giving you accurate results, I would stop using a witness.

Diane: Here's a short bio...

MorriganHOST: ty

Pooky: I've only tried once with a witness, I will have to wait for the answer to that one though.

CandyHOST: I had found that at first, it was hard to get correct answers when you were involved emotionally to what you were asking

Pooky: That's exactly what I'm finding out right now Candy!!lol

Diane: I retired a few years and now I'm quite involved with dowsing.

CandyHOST: Pooky you will get past that point; it took me years; so I connect to my Higher Self first

CandyHOST: Diane?

Diane: Yes, I belong to the Canadian Society of Dowsers and am on their Board.

MorriganHOST: who are they and what is their function Diane?

Pooky: I did.

Diane: We're having our 15th annual Convention in Toronto in June. It is a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers.

MorriganHOST: wow sounds great!

Diane: I'm also a member of the American Society of Dowsers and I went to their convention last June in Vermont. They have many dowsing chapters across the US. Have any of you looked into visiting a chapter?

Pooky: Are you in Toronto, Diane?

MorriganHOST: why do you prefer dowsing to any other method of divination..like for instance, Tarot cards?

Diane: Yes, I live in Toronto.

CandyHOST: Diane do you recommend using a yes and no board?

Diane: I don't know just why I'm drawn to dowsing...probably because it is so simple.

MorriganHOST: I'm all for that

grin:

Doris: I am a neophyte dabbler at the moment so this my basic introduction to the subject

Pooky: Me too!

Diane: You don't have to interpret the results like other forms of divination.
