Dowsing has been around for ages and I feel that everyone is a dowser. What is a dowser, you ask? Simply put, a dowser is someone who is able to find water for a well, lost items, energy grids, mineral deposits, influence the negative energy and redirect it to become positive and much more.
Dowsing is an ancient practice that has been lost to most people over time. We aren't as "in tune" with the universe as we once were. We have become disconnected with the natural rhythms of the earth and all that is on it. Dowsing brings us back to be able to feel and connect with that energy.
With dowsing we use pendulums, L-rods and Y sticks. These are tools so that we can have something concrete that we can see show us the yes and no answers, or point us in a direction, because we alot of people can't connect with that in born sense that guides us or simply because we have been raised not to believe our "gut" instincts.
When we get comfortable with the dowsing tools, a whole world opens up to us. We learn how to use these tools to gain information, to change energies and energy patterns. All this is accomplished on our own and we don't step on anyone's toes.
We can use the pendulum to check to see if the supplements we are taking are necessary, if we are taking the correct dose and taking them at the correct time of day. We can use the pendulum to find where we left our car keys, if we should take that trip now or wait, if the produce that we have in our grocery cart has any nutrition, plus much more.
We can use the Y stick to locate underground water to drill a well and we can even determine how deep to drill. The Y stick can also locate veins of minerals.
We can use the L rods to get pointed in the correct direction when looking for a way to walk to locate the well or minerals, to indicate the beginning of someone's aura, to find "holes or tears" in the aura so that they may be repaired plus much more.
This June, I am having a weekend of dowsing to teach the ABC's of dowsing so that people will have a greater understanding of this much misunderstood tool that is available to us.

The term "Alternative" as relating to treatments seems to be disappearing from the vocabulary of many these days. Many years ago, a person was considered to be strange if they went to a chiropractor, now it is an everyday occurrence. Homeopathy and Naturopathy were once in the same category as crones, witches and wizards. Now, many people avail themselves of their knowledge along with that of their MD's.
Energy medicine is gaining in popularity as well. People are not as skeptical when it comes to using Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, or Reconnection as a tool to attain health and well being.
I have taken introductory courses in Therapeutic and Healing Touch and have read about Reconnection but chose to become a Reiki Master. To me, they are all using the energy of the Universe. The difference is in how they are used. They all involve channeling the healing energy through the body of the practitioner and directing it to the client. Hand positions are involved and minimum touching (if any). The client usually lies on a treatment table fully clothed and covered to keep warm as the body temperature usually drops during energy treatments. The treatments usually last 1/2 hr. to 1 hr. and the client usually feels very rested and sometimes even falls asleep on the table. I have had some clients feel very energized after a treatment while others want to go to sleep for awhile. This depends upon the client and what needs to be cleansed or healed.
When guests come to The Robins' Nest they have a choice of treatments if they so wish. More and more they are trying Reiki and they are quite surprised by the insights they receive while having the treatment and also by the way they feel after it is over.
Next time you are considering treating yourself, why not try Reiki!
Someone said to me a few days ago that it was just as easy to learn our life lessons through happiness as it was through pain. I have been thinking about that and I would tend to agree. I feel that alot of today's society is focused on the things that they feel are wrong in the world. When was the last time the news broadcasts were all happy, upbeat, positive messages? I don't ever remember one, can you?
As we move forward in our lives, I think that we all like to feel that we are making progress, that we are evolving so to speak toward a better place in our thinking and our lives. The majority of us are but there are still some who can't let go of the nagging, being brought down by others and themselves. The can't look out of their windows and see beauty. Why, they can't even look in the mirror and be in awe of what looks back at them.
I am blessed to be able to live where I do and partake in the type of work that I like. I feel blessed that I am able to touch so many people and share our journeys. With that sharing, we are both helped along our paths.
This same person also said that the goal was to live life in a neutral state. I was a bit confused about this at first. I have thought about it and realized that what it means is that I don't have to comment on everything. I don't have to have an emotion or thought about what someone says or does. By my being neutral, it validates the other person's feelings while not investing mine. I can share, listen, and participate with love.
I choose to see the light in people's eyes, to see the life in the trees, to feel the energy of the rain and the healing in the rays of the sun.
I choose happiness!
Just a thought!
