Re: Learning to dowse

[Merla]

Lloyd and all, Thank you very much for all the dowsing sites.  Printed "Letter to Robin."  I will be working on this and it will take some time.  Printed "Dowsing and Archeology" for an archeologist friend who works in Alaska and here trying to find old historical sites.  What a wonderful outpouring of information!  What horizons! I go to get the patterns from the BioMeridian MSI this afternoon.  The state is dragging its heels in releasing our grant money and I can't buy the bentonite/lime or the grain seed yet.  I'm just trying to hang loose.  Can't help but wonder if after three months of doing nothing else but this grant, I will be thwarted.  Thank goodness, I can still spray the stuff I get today with a good conscience.  I want to dowse this whole process. It's been raining.  Perennial poppy, tiny iris, daffodiil, tulip, hyacinth shoots are up.  Can I take soil samples after a rain?  Thanks for the ratio of bentonite to lime.  How do I tell if I'm getting a high calcium lime.  Look at the label?  When I call suppliers, ask THEM to look at the label?

I have tried some of Sharon's suggestions, will try some more. The comment on dehydration is interesting. I just heard a medical person explain that even minor dehydration affects the inner ear and balance system. He was explaining that ipuprofin causes such dehydration, as does caffeine. Oops. Caught me in my habit.   ========================== Dave Robison Hi Dave      I know the feeling  - for many years I believed that dowsing was a gift that some people (not me)had been given due to different body chemistry or whatever and I tried several times over a period of years (with L rods) nothing happened !!! This is very frustrating and imprints strongly in the mind. I am now strong and confident with a pendulum but still my mental block with the rods hangs around and it is hard to shift.      Drink plenty of good water, that is really important, and back off the coffee for at least a couple of hours before you try. Sit with feet flat on the floor not legs crossed (this neutralises me instantly) Play some good classical music. Anything to help you relax and focus. If your'e still stuck - organise a group and get someone in to teach - the extra energy of a group learning dowsing will get everybody going and you get to meet some nice people. Have fun Lloyd Charles
