1.
You should be in a relaxed state of mind when
dowsing. If you
don’t succeed at first…relax…perhaps even meditate a
bit…then try again. Practice
makes perfect…of course some studying won’t hurt either!!!
2.
Your “L” Rods should be grasped in the
palms of your hands, curling your fingers and thumb around the
plastic sleeve lightly, yet firmly.
Neither the long top of the rods, nor the bottom curved
part should touch your hands in any way while holding them, and
they should be free to swing without any interference.
3.
With the rods correctly held, place your
elbows along the side of your body for stability, and extend your
lower arms and the rods straight out, pointing forward, roughly at
shoulders width. Ideally
you should hold the rods level for maximum movement and
sensitivity, though you may drop the tips of the rods very
slightly to dampen the movement in breezy conditions or for
further control.
4.
With your arms in the search position as noted
above, and the rods in a neutral forward position, walk slowly
around the search area while concentrating on the item you are
looking for.
5.
Most often, dowsing rods indicate a yes, or
confirmation by crossing or pointing toward each other. Please
note however that it is also possible to have the rods point in
opposite directions as a confirming signal.
This seems to be a matter variable to each individual, and
not necessarily making one right or the other.
Successfully locating a known item such as your water main
line can assist you to determine which response you should expect.
6.
Upon a positive confirmation, you will want to
re-test and confirm the exact location…perhaps several times.
Positive results on these retests are a good indication that you
have likely made a find!
We
hope you enjoy your new rods and have many hours of pleasure and
enjoyment using them and may your finds be many and your time
spent be most enjoyable!
