Moderator: UniHOST

Guest: Diane Marcotte - Diane has been a dowser for many years and is currently a board member of the Canadian Society of Dowsers.

Diane: Hi Jay

Jay: Hello

UniHOST: blessings Jay welcome to healing newage chat, with our special guest diane

Jay: Pleased to meet both of you

Diane: Welcome to the chat on L-rods...are you a dowser? a healer?

UniHOST: pleased to meet you

Diane: Pleased to meet you too!

Jay: Actually I'm kind of just looking around the site, I'm a new guide at About, so I've kind of been exploring

UniHOST: i will be watching the other room as well for people

UniHOST: so happy you joined us

Diane: Oh, I hope you are able to stay awhile....

UniHOST: as do i

Jay: you bet

UniHOST: wonderful

Diane: Uni...have you ever used L-rods?

UniHOST: no i have not tried them as of yet, been meaning to get a couple of wire hangers and check it out

Jay: What are L-rods?

UniHOST: have good luck with pendulums though

Diane: They are rods - usually made out of a wire of some sort - that dowsers use to find things.

Jay: Ok, I see

Diane: The dowsers of old used to take a twig of a branch

Diane: Nowadays, most dowsers use L-rods or a Y-rod

Diane: A Y-rod is one piece shaped into a Y and you hold it by the top sections (in 2 hands)

Diane: L-rods come in pairs - you can used both and hold them like a gunslinger - or use just one.

Jay: I'm pretty familiar with dowsing, I have never really done it myself though

Diane: It can be lots of fun...and a great way to get in touch with your intuition

Diane: have you tried dowsing with a pendulum, Jay?

Jay: I live in the city, not exactly sure what I would dowse for

Jay: No, I have used pendulums though, for I guess it would be divination

Diane: Nowadays, many dowsers dowse for their own health...what vitamins to take...should i eat ????

Jay: I see

Jay: Maybe I need to do that, I'm not the best at taking care of my own health

Diane: You can also dowse for underground geopathic stress lines that might be interfering with your health.

Jay: So in your opinion which gives better results. L or Y rods?

Diane: Sometimes they run under your bed, or under a chair you spend alot of time in, etc.

Diane: The results are the same...whatever you use is just a tool to amplify the response.

Jay: Can stuff like that effect moods and emotions, geopathic stress lines that is?

Diane: Y rods are harder to use...and you would probably use them when dowsing for an underground water vein, or for oil or minerals.

Diane: Yes, geopathic stress lines can affect mood & emotions.

UniHOST: so how would we go about finding these geopathic stress lines with the L rod?

Jay: I just moved into my new house about 3 months ago, and I've noticed that I wake up alot slower and usually in a bad mood more often now, nothing has really changed for me other than my location though

Diane: L-rods can also be used in healing work...to measure the aura, the spin of the chakras, etc.

UniHOST: oh would like to learn how to do this as well

UniHOST: blessings doris welcome to healing newage chat with our guest speaker diane on L rods

Doris: thank you

Diane: I's start outside at the edge of your lot...holding the rods or just 1 rod, pointed out in front of you, you would ask ""Show me the direction of the nearest

Diane: geopathic line that is non-beneficial to me""

Diane: Then, with 2 rods I'd walk in the direction that the rod(s) has swung to.

Diane: Now I would ask ""Please open wide when I come to the geopathic line.

Doris: OK, thanks

Diane: Once they open wide, I'd turn so that I was standing on the line

Diane: Then I's ask ""please show me the direction that this line goes.""

Diane: Then I'd follow my rod - marking the ground from time to time with pepples

UniHOST: hb jay

Diane: - pebbles -that is

Diane: If the line runs up to my house...the I would go to the each of the other sides

Diane: and ask ""Does the geopathic line exit on this side?"" (You need to have programmed the rods

Diane: so that they respond a certain way for YES and another way for NO)

Diane: Once you know where the geopathic line exits the ouse, you now need to go inside.

Diane: Starting where the line entered from outside, trace it with your rods to the point where it exits.

Diane: It's a good idea to mark the layout of your home out on paper first so you can mark the line as you go through the house.

Diane: ...sorry for the typos....

g:

Doris: Hi Diane, I am new to chatting so I hope you will be patient. Can you do this for an apartment as well? - on a higher floor?

Diane: If the line goes through your bedroom and runs under any portion of your bed, then it may be affecting your health - physical, mental, emotional, etc.

Diane: Hi Doris, welcome!

UniHOST: no problem with the typos lol
