- What dowsing rods do? What are dowsing rods used for? Traditionally, farmers use it to locate water or minerals. Can be used above a crystal to feel the energy. Dowsing rods can be used to receive higher guidance. They can be used to channel guidance from your guides, ancestors, higher self, or higher consciousness. This can be made asking simple questions. - Questions must be in the form to can answer with YES or NO I will never ask Death Dates. I also won`t ask about major catastrophic weather events that might happen. I don`t want to know and I don`t want to cause fear or panic, expecially if something changes. The future is not set in stone, anything I ask about the future can change. It`s just the most likely outcome at this point in time based on the way things are going, way people are acting. Take those things with a grain of salt, know that you can change the future if you want to just by changing your actions, your thoughts and go from there. I am not a medical professional, please do not take this as medical advice, please talk to your doctor before making any decisions medically. In this case is for entertainment purposes only. I don`t necessarily believe everything that comes through the rods, this is very much for your own discernment so take what resonates, leave what doesn`t and go from there <3 - The science behind So without a large-scale study proving it works, why do so many people rely on it? It turns out, science can also reveal why so many people claim that dowsing works! More so than any metaphysical intervention, dowsing’s success can be attributed to something called the ideomotor effect. Before we get to that, a brief foray into consciousness. At a basic level we are all aware of our conscious actions. When we want to open a door, we think through the action and complete the task. The second category relates to performing tasks like breathing, maintaining a heartbeat and swallowing. These are “excitomotor” actions, things we do each day without thinking. Next we have “sensorimotor” actions that relate to our innate reflex reactions. These actions are developed through trial and error. They help to build our knowledge of the world. For example, we react instinctively to pull away if we touch a hot surface. The final unconscious element is called the ideomotor effect. - History The origins of dowsing trace back as far as the Greeks in the mid-fifth century. Herodotus reported the use of wooden Y-shaped forks for finding water. By the 16th century, Georgius Agricola, a German mineralogist and writer, recorded dowsing rods being used to find metal ore deposits in his book De Re Metallica. His book described the practice of dowsing as “…wizards, who also make use of rings, mirrors, and crystals, seek for veins with a divining rod shaped like a fork: but its shape makes no difference for it is not the form of the twig that matter, but the wizard’s incantations which it would not become me to repeat.” Often associated with the unexplained, dowsing transitioned from being regarded as a form of medieval witchcraft to a rational art form that could be learned In the 1980s a large-scale experiment was conducted in Germany with over 500 self-proclaimed dowsing experts. A large, two story barn with a large pipe filled with water was moved back and forth on the ground floor while the dowsers occupied the second floor, tasked with determining the water’s position in the pipe below. The study’s organizers determined that the experiment proved that dowsing worked. However, when subjected to additional scrutiny the results proved the opposite. The organizers had picked out just the few dowsers that had gotten luckiest, suggesting that while they were skillful dowsers, the other participants did not make the cut.
