WHAT IS DOWSING? Historically, dowsing is a method to locate underground water sources. Throughout history, dowsing techniques with pendulums, Y-rods, L-rods and bobbers have been used to find metal, ores, gemstones, oil and lost articles. Dowers also successfully locate ley lines (earth energies) and noxious energy zones. Ditoh and I use dowsing every day from balancing our energy fields to designing this website, in the garden and helping ourselves and others with health tips such as herbal dosages. Dowsing also encompasses the use of intuition and psychic abilities to locate items or find solutions to problems. Dowsing is often called water witching, divining, doodlebugging and water dowsing. Kinesiology is also a form of dowsing. Below you will find information on Walt Woods' excellent booklets and four excerpts from Theresa's book "Mayan Messages: Daily Guide to Self-Empowerment" that relate to dowsing. Check out our Nature Spirits page to discover how to communicate with "Beings from the Other Side." |
or “no” format. Keep the question simple; there is actually an art form to asking questions in a concise manner. However, for our purpose today, we ask you to practice with questions such as, “Is my name____? Do I have a dog? Am I a female?” Practice with easy questions you know the answers to. Avoid esoteric questions or those that are not your business. First, stand erect in a balanced position. If your answer is a “yes,” your body will slightly move forward. In reverse, if the answer is “no,” your body will gently sway backwards. This technique is very subtle and works best when you are completely balanced, loose and hydrated. We suggest you practice any technique you choose quite often before relying on the results. This is also a great way to shop for food and vitamins. Simply hold the object in your hand and ask if it is in your best interest to take this product. There are many ways you can use this simple technique. However, for today’s purpose, we are suggesting this technique as one of many possible ways to discern the level of trust you can hold in another person. The goal is to find out where the other person is coming from. Are they coming from a place of light and sincerely have your best interests at heart? Or, is this person trying to manipulate you into doing something that ultimately is not in your best interest? Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish between the two. When you make a connection with your Higher Self and the Higher Self of the other person involved, there can be no lies. The truth must be told. Once you fully develop a clear connection with your Higher Self and others, a whole new world literally opens up to you. When you meet others, you can connect with both of your Higher Selves and ask clear and concise questions related to the meeting. Let us say you meet someone who offers you a deal you can’t refuse. How do you know if it is in your best interest? Simply make the heart connection we shared with you on Day 36. You can either do this out loud or very clearly in your imagination. State that you wish to make a connection at this time. With practice, you will know when you have made the connection with your Higher Self and those of others. Sometimes you will feel the energy through goose bumps, a sense of peace or a warming of the body. Everyone is different. You can ask your Higher Self if the person you are concerned about is speaking from the light. Pay attention to which way your body sways. As your conversation ensues with the other person, you can ask your Higher Self as well as their Higher Self specific questions, remembering to ask them in a yes or no format. As an example, let us say that you encounter a man you have never met before in a store. He seems nice, is clean-shaven and wearing nice clothes. You don’t feel any particular emotions about this person. You meet at the bulletin board where each of you is looking at advertisements for upcoming local events. You notice he is posting an event and ask him if he is the one hosting this event. He answers in the affirmative as he shows you the poster. The poster states he is a hypnotist and is having a gathering to demonstrate his skills to others. In the past, you have seen hypnotists on television and you ask him if he will be having people cluck like a chicken. He assures you that hypnosis is safe and that he is reliable and can be trusted. This is when you can use your skill to determine if this fellow is of integrity. Quietly connect with your Higher Self and the man’s Higher Self. He need not know what you are doing. Ask your Higher Self if this fellow is working with the light. Pay attention to which way your body sways. In this case, let’s say the answer is affirmative, as you slightly sway forward. You can then ask a myriad of questions, depending on what you wish to know. “Is this fellow trying to use mind-control over others? Is he sincerely interested in helping others overcome health issues and dependencies? Is he using his skill as a hypnotist to try to make money, regardless of the outcome to his clients? Is it in my best interest to attend this gathering?” You might choose to get the fellow’s contact information and ask these questions when you return home and there are fewer distractions. We also want to let you know that you can get different answers, depending on whether you are asking your Higher Self or another’s Higher Self. You may ask a question such as, “Is this person reliable when he makes a diagnosis while his client is under hypnosis?” You may get a “yes.” Then you may ask, “Can he tell me why my neck hurts so much?" You may get another “yes.” Before you make an appointment to have him help you with your physical ailments, delve further with your Higher Self and intuition. He may be able to diagnose a medical condition for you. However, if it is in the best interest for you not to know about this condition or if there are other factors involved, he may not be able to give an accurate reading. Know there are a lot of complexities involved in every situation. Do not look to others to save you and do not accept their advice blindly. Know that you have within you the ability to find answers to any question. It does take practice to learn to filter out the truth from the garbage. It is easy to dupe yourself because of fears and old belief codes. We know this can sound frustrating and may you may be thinking, “How in the world can I ever determine the Truth?” On some layers, there is no such thing as truth, for so many things are relative to your belief codes. How much of what you believed as a child do you still hold dear to your heart as the absolute truth? As you mature, you learn to discern. No decision you ever made needs to be classified as right or wrong, they were simply decisions you made based on the belief codes you were currently working from. Each decision has the power to help you experience a unique set of circumstances. If the message feels right, then look into it further with your dowsing and intuition. If the message feels wrong, then look into it further by going within and seeing if you are reacting due to fear or out-dated belief codes. If you take time each day to follow the Messages we present to you, soon you will be able to make decisions that are for your highest good. We offer you many ways to go within and clear out the clutter, so all your future choices will be made in your highest good. Once you have eliminated many of your fears, you will begin to soar as the eagle from above, with a greater sense of discernment because you will be able to see the greater picture. With practice and clear intent, it will become easier for you to make choices that are for your highest good. You already have everything you need within you to make clear choices, we are simply here to help remind you of your innate powers. We wish you well and hope you will take time today to go within and seek ways to better connect with your Higher Self. We take leave now and send many blessings to you. Selamet! Caban 5 |
today we would share some ways you can begin to communicate with these Beings. Know they are highly intelligent and can easily read your energetic patterns, thus they know when you speak with truth and integrity and know what level of love you currently possess. Many are anxious to connect with you and delighted to be of assistance in helping you maintain balance in your yard and garden. Understand that a garden is manmade, it is not the same as naturally occurring spaces such as forests and glens. Therefore, there may be a learning curve on the part of the Nature Spirits, as well as your own. As you work together, your friendship and trust will grow. You have the right not to do as they suggest, but know that if you choose harmful behaviors such as using herbicides and pesticides, they will leave your space. Nature Spirits can assist you in every phase of your gardening and landscaping endeavors, including: where to plant, what to plant, when to plant, when to fertilize, what fertilizers to use, ways to amend the soil, how to keep a balance between plants, insects and wildlife and when to harvest. When you ask their advice, you need to be very specific. They do not live in your world and may misunderstand your idioms or sense of humor. Be precise when asking your questions. Learn to use dowsing tools such as kinesiology, pendulums and rods as a means of communication. We will introduce these tools one day at a time. Dowsing has been in use since man first walked the Earth. Dowsing, in its basic sense, uses the neuromuscular sensations of the body. There are various techniques; you would do well to research and experiment until you find the technique that feels most comfortable to you. We will start with dowsing rods. These rods are made of metal, copper being a good source because it is a good conductor. These rods are generally shaped like an “L.” The shorter part of the “L” is held loosely, one rod in each hand. Often a copper sheath covers the part held in the hand, allowing the long end of the rod to move freely. Rods are very useful when planning your garden or seeking underground water sources. One benefit of rods is they can lead you to sites that you request. You may ask, “Show me a place to grow onions where they will have the best chance to thrive.” Then follow the rods to the location. They will begin pointing in one direction, simply follow them until the rods begin to cross each other, making an “X.” You may then ask the Nature Spirits a series of questions. You can program your rods to show you a “yes” answer by crossing over each other. A “no” answer can have the rods moving away from each other. A strong “no” may find the rods moving quickly away from each other as far as they can go. When the rods move slowly or waver, it could mean “maybe,” or perhaps it’s a way to communicate that the answer could be either “yes” or “no,” or perhaps it’s an indicator to ask a more specific question. Let us say that you are now at the onion planting site selected by the Nature Spirits. You had planned on placing a greenhouse there. Using the rod or a pendulum, you can begin to ask several questions. Is there a better location for the greenhouse? Is there another place where the onions will thrive? How many onions should I plant? When should I plant the onions? Should I start them indoors or plant directly in the ground? Is there a specific variety of onions that would grow best in this area? Are there any amendments I should make to the soil? Should I till the soil? Keep in mind that Nature Spirits cannot read every thought that passes through your mind. You will need to state your intentions out loud or hold them very clearly in your mind. For instance, when you are preparing to plant your onions, it would be well for you to let them know how many onions you would like to harvest. You may tell them, “ I would like to have enough onions to feed my family of four. We generally use about five onions a week. I would also like to grow fifty pounds that I can store over the winter. I would like to share about thirty pounds with my friends.” With this information, they can give you better advice on how many onions plants you will need. Be mindful that they may try to communicate that you should place the onions in various places throughout the land, so be sure to ask if they suggest one or more planting areas. Think in terms of questions you could expect to ask a landscaping contractor or gardening expert. It is good to make a drawing of your land, especially those areas you are willing to prepare for planting. Using rods or a pendulum ask the Nature Spirits to help plot the plants you would like to grow. The planning sessions are best done on site but they can be done remotely, when you are away from home. It may be helpful to have a list of flowers, herbs, vegetables, trees and bushes on paper or in books. There will be times when you will need to have specific plants to help balance the area, yet you may not be familiar with the plants that are available. By asking a question such as, “What is best to plant in this area?” If a specific plant does not immediately come into your mind, then you can find the plant they suggest by asking, “Is it in this book?” Then you can go through the index, asking a questions such as, “Is the plant a bush, a tree or a flower? Does the plant begin with the letters A-C?” When you find the answer, perhaps you realize it is a plant that makes you sneeze. Tell the Nature Spirits this and then ask what the next best choice would be.Always word your questions in a format that can be answered with either “yes” or “no.” With practice, you will know when the dowsing tool is giving you a “maybe” answer or making an indication to ask more questions or be more specific. DOWSING TIPS Always be sure you are hydrated before dowsing. Before using any dowsing tool, it is best to begin with a series of questions, such as, “May I use the dowsing tool at this time? Can I using the dowsing tool at this time? Should I use the dowsing tool at this time?” If you get a “no” response to any of these questions, it is wise to honor the answer and dowse another time. Never use the tools when you are upset. If you get a “no” answer to using a tool, it is wise to set aside a few moments and center yourself. If you are emotionally charged over something that is happening in your life, it could skew the answers you receive from the dowsing tool. This is especially true when the questions you wish to ask are related to the issue that has you emotionally off balance. There are many resources available that demonstrate ways to hold a pendulum. To keep this brief, we will give you some simple pointers. Pendulums come in many shapes, sizes and materials. Practice with a variety until you find ones that feel best for you. You can program your pendulums to always show the same movement for each “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” For instance, some pendulums may swing back and forth to indicate a “yes” answer, while other pendulums may swing up and down to indicate a “yes” answer. To avoid confusion, you can tell each pendulum you use to always swing in one certain way, with you determining which way you wish the “yes” to swing. Hold your pendulum in your dominant hand. Using your pointer finger and thumb, grip the chain (preferably conductive metal) about 1-3 inches from the weight. Spread your other three fingers out like antennas. Some like to hold the pendulum over the palm of the opposite hand. Note that the wind can be a factor when you are dowsing outdoors. There are ways you can get a variety of answers, such as percentages, specific numbers, etc. For instance, you want to know the likelihood that a plant will survive in a specific location, if you supply water and nutrients. Using your subordinate hand, you can use an invisible line stating where the zero and the hundred are located. Then place your pendulum over the invisible line, ask your question and you will receive your answer in a percentage. Perhaps you need to know the number of something. You can ask, “How many feet from where I am standing is the site for the tomatoes located?” Then ask, “More than ten? More than an acre? How many seeds should I plant in each hole, 1, 2, 3, 4?” When large numbers are involved, you can ask for ranges, such as between 400-500 or less than 2000. All questions should be stated in a manner in which they can be answered factually. Pendulums can give statistical answers, but they are not divining tools used to foretell future events. Always use them with respect and test their results by paying attention to your gut feelings and intuition. If an answer does not “feel right” then ask more related questions or choose not to accept the answer. Dowsing is a fine art and takes time to develop. Do not use it to pry into other people’s affairs or to ask guidance for future events. It is basically a “here and now” tool to be used to answer forthright “yes” and “no” answers. When used properly, it can save you many hours of time and labor. Although we have talked mainly about gardening in this Message, dowsing tools can be used in any area of your life. They are a magnificent way to communicate with loved ones who have passed over, as well as your Higher Self and Spirit Guides. Like any tool, there can be the danger of over-reliance. The goal is to build your energy level through experiences of love in order to have a more concrete relationship with all Beings. When people get locked into using one tool, they are susceptible to ignoring other tools available to them such as intuition, gut feelings, emotions and innate wisdom. Develop your inner ear and ability to receive love and inspiration from your Higher Self, Spirit Guides and Nature Spirits. One day, you will not need these tools to communicate, that is the ultimate goal. Until then, swing away and practice your dowsing skills. The Nature Spirits are waiting! Selamet! Oc 8 |
and chiropractors have been using kinesiology for years to determine what procedures and formulas are best for their patients’ well-being. Kinesiology is also a method of communication between your body and your Higher Self. We will show you one method, although there are many alternatives. We choose this method because it is simple, you can do it yourself and it can be used without drawing attention to yourself when in public. Like any tool, the more you practice, the more proficient you will become. Be sure you are hydrated. Clear your mind of chatter and be certain you are centered or else your answers may be skewed. On your subordinate hand, touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your little finger on the same hand, this will close an electrical circuit in your hand. To test the circuit, place the thumb and pointer finger of your dominant hand inside the circle you created with the thumb and little finger of your subordinate hand. The remaining three fingers on each of your hands act as antennas. Be sure they do not touch each other. Ask yourself a question that you know can be answered with a “yes.” Using equal pressure, try to pull the thumb and little finger apart, using the thumb and pointer finger of your dominant hand. Press the inner thumb against the outer thumb while pressing the index finger against the little finger. If the answer to the question is “yes,” it will be difficult to pull the circuit fingers apart. Your body’s muscles remain strong when standing in their truth. However, answers that are not truthful weaken the muscles and the finger circuit will easily come apart. Practice asking yourself “yes” and “no” questions that you know the answer to. Observe the difference between positive and negative answers. Notice how the muscles remain strong when the answers are “yes” and weaken when the answers are “no.” This method of kinesiology can be used in many applications. While in the store, you can focus on an item while using finger kinesiology. You can ask, “Is it in my best interest to use this product?” You can also ask for dosages. “How many of these vitamin C tablets should I take today? How many times today should I take them? Should I take them with a meal or on an empty stomach?” Research ways to use kinesiology and practice before using it as a reliable source of information. This is not a tool to be used to foretell future events. Your emotions can skew the results, so always be centered and to ask the three questions suggested in yesterday’s message. “Can I use this tool? May I use this tool? Should I use this tool?” Your body will respond using the data it has stored from your lifetime of experiences, innately knowing what is best for you, so questions related to health are appropriate. However, it does operate off your current belief codes, thus your fears may override what is best for you. For this reason, it is good to release negative thoughtforms and habits that keep you locked into limiting patterns. Have fun, don’t take yourself too seriously and enjoy this day! Selamet! Chuen 9 |
Two Person Muscle Testing
statement that you are seeking and ready to make changes in your life. In order to make those changes, you show us that you have the courage to face your fears and to press through them. Know that on the other side of every fear there is freedom. When you look into the mirror and see what is inside yourself, you will be better equipped to do the work to portray your outer image to others.Many have blazed the trail for you to follow. There are countless books, videos and CDs available to help you along your Path. At times, it can be overwhelming to know which information is best for you. The easiest way is to follow your intuition and to notice synchronicities. If you have not learned how to communicate clearly with your Higher Self, there are a variety of methods you can use to help discriminate which information is best for you. One reliable method is called “muscle testing.” An accurate method involves you with another person. Everything has an energy field around it. This field interacts with your energy field when in close proximity. When you hold an object next to your heart, the energy it emanates will react with the energy of your heart, body and chakras. The muscle test determines which energy fields strengthen or weaken your energy field. Place the arm of your dominant hand straight out from the side of your body. Make a relaxed fist with this hand. With your non- dominant hand, hold an object (book, medication, herb) next to your heart. The other person uses two fingers and with gentle pressure on top of the wrist of the outstretched arm, attempts to push your arm downward. At the same time, you resist the pressure by attempting to keep your arm outstretched.
will remain outstretched even while the tester is pushing down on your wrist. Conversely, if the energy field of the object weakens your energy field, the muscles in your arm will be weakened and your arm will easily be pushed down with the pressure of the other’s two fingers. Using this method, you can find which books, food, medications, jewelry, herbs, clothing, CDs or anything, strengthens or weakens your energy field. There are other methods of dowsing such as the use of pendulums and rods and kinesiology that can also be helpful. The goal is to clear your blocks and inner circuitry so you will just know what is best for you at any moment. Go forth today and practice the skills that lead you toward walking a clearer path, free of obstacles. Enjoy each step and be grateful for every experience that comes your way! Selamet! Ik 8 |
| When the answer to your question is true for you, a "yes," then the circuitry between your thumb and separate them. |
When the answer to your question is false for you, a "no," then the circuitry between your thumb and index finger will weaken, making it easy to separate them. |
