DEPTHING
A means of determining the depth of underground water
through dowsing, usually either by counting using a pendulum, or by measuring
the distance of sidebands - a method called 'Bishop's Rule'. See also
INFORMATION DOWSING
DETRIMENTAL
ENERGY
A type of energy that is dowsed as harmful. This requires further definition
to determine to what it may be harmful as certain energies may be harmful
to one species of life and beneficial to others. Energies that are dowsed
as detrimental to humans can also be subdivided to determine the part
or spectrum of our being that is most affected i.e. the physical, emotional,
mental or spiritual. Energies dowsed as detrimental can usually be verified
as such by using kinesiology.
DIVINING
(a) It is sometimes taken as equivalent to dowsing
but the two terms are not completely synonymous.
(b) The art and practice of discovering unknown things, usually by means
of a pendulum, rods etc. or acquiring information by means which do not
involve the use of the five senses, is also called divination.
DIMENSION
A level of existence which can be experienced through the physical, mental,
emotional and the spiritual. An energy can manifest in more than one dimension
at a time. The energy in each dimension can have a unique set of characteristics
such as wavelength,
polarity, strength,
form, etc.
DISTANT
DOWSING / REMOTE DOWSING
Remotely dowsing the site or person under investigation; this can be done
with the use of a map, photograph or as a purely mental process through
visualisation.
DOME
A term used in the U.S.A. to describe a Blind
Spring.
DOWN SHOOT
( ENERGY) 
This is where energy descends vertically into the Earth. It is usually
in the form of a spiral
or vortex but can also
manifest as a pillar and occurs at some crossing points of underground
water veins and grid crossing points. The spiral can rotate in a clockwise
or anticlockwise direction.
DOWNSHAFT
OR DOWNER (WATER)
This is where water from a horizontal subterranean water course descends
vertically down a fissure before flowing onwards, horizontally, usually
as a single vein. This is the opposite to a blind
spring where the water rises. There is a unique energy
field associated with a downshaft of water which can be identified
through dowsing.
DOWSING
The art of discovering the presence of energies, substances, objects or
missing persons or things not apparent to the senses, usually by using
rods, pendulums, etc. Dowsing can also be carried out without the use
of tools. This is called deviceless dowsing.
Dowsing is generally divided into three categories: physical or site
dowsing, map or distance
dowsing and information
dowsing. The word "dowsing” derives from medieval
German (da sein) which means 'it is there’; its first recorded use
was by John Lock in 1692. It is sometimes taken as equivalent to divining,
but the two terms are not completely synonymous. In the U.S.A. dowsing
for water is known as "water witching" but most dowsers are
now trying to get away from using this term.
EARTH
ENERGY
A naturally-occurring field of subtle energy relating to or emanating
from the earth as a whole.
EARTH
ENERGIES
Different from the above in that they include all energies that can be
dowsed on the surface of the earth. The source of these energies may be
outside the earth or in specific parts of the earth, e.g. solar, lunar,
planetary and other cosmic sources as well as topographical features or
earth faults.
EARTH
GRIDS
A regular pattern of crossing energy lines which surround the earth. Some
of these energies alone or in combination with other energies, it is thought,
may cause illness. Several different grids have been dowsed, each with
their own characteristics. The best known are the Hartmann
(N/S, E/W) and Curry (diagonal) grids. R. Schneider discovered
two others called the 3rd and 4th (diagonal) grids. The distance between
lines in a specific grid form appears to vary according to latitude and
form a rectangle rather than a square. Each grid form has a different
orientation.
The
Hartmann grid was named after Dr Hartmann who it is thought
was the first to observe earth grids. It is a world wide grid in accordance
with the earth's magnetic field, i.e. approximately N/S, E/W. There are
considerable variations in the grid spacing dependent on local conditions
and the degree of latitude. In Greenland a spacing of 1.05m x 1.20m is
found. In England the average spacing is 1.60m x 1.68m while in the Canary
Islands it is 2.00m x 2.50m. The straightness of the grid lines can be
affected by high voltage power lines and radio stations.
The
Curry grid was named after the German doctor Dr Manfred
Curry who was the founder of the Bioclimatic Institute in Bavaria. It
is thought to be more biologically damaging than the Hartmann, especially
the double lines that occur at approximately every 50 metres. The distance
of the grid line spacings vary according to location and can vary from
2.5 x 3.5 m. In England they are approximately at 2.36 x 2.7 m.
EARTH
SPIRIT/ SPIRIT OF PLACE/ GENIUS LOCI.
A manifestation found in a particular place, often a natural setting,
such as a grove of trees or a stone circle. It is considered to be the
guardian or controlling spirit of that location and it is recommended
that proper respect be given to it when visiting the area and permission
gained.
ENERGY
(OR PRANA) CHARACTERISTICS
A means of differentiating between dowsable energies in an attempt to
identify them more accurately. The following characteristics listed are
some of the divisions that can be made.
Wavelength, frequency,
colour, strength
(a scale of 1-10 or other appropriate scales may be used ), dimension,
time frame, origin, source, polarity, type, negative,
positive, yin,
yang, beneficial,
detrimental, etc.
ENERGY
DOME 
A discernible area of energy in the shape of a sphere, half of which is
above the surface of the ground and is to be found above some conjunctions
of underground water. Quite often a circle of energy as dowsed on the
surface of the ground when dowsed on its vertical plane will be found
to form a dome.
ENERGY
FIELD
An area of energy around an object which is specific to that object and
being transmitted by it. This energy can be detected by dowsing or at
certain frequencies by instruments. Another term for energy field is "aura"
although this is generally associated with the human energy field.
ENERGY
GRIDS 
A series of crossing parallel lines that can be found as a component of
the energy field of all objects. The ends of these lines are joined together
so that energy can flow from one section of the grid to the other. There
are generally five different grid types. Each has different spacings and
number of lines and the orientation of the lines are different. Each line
is part positive and
part negative in nature.
The diagram at the right shows one typical grid type. These grids were
first observed by W. A. Gawn.
ENERGY
LEYS
Lines of dowsable energy which generally run straight, are 6-8 feet wide
at their central core, and often have further bands or edges to either
side. Influenced both in width and strength by lunar and solar cycles.
They are often found at what are called sacred sites. Whilst energy leys
are considered to be natural energy phenomena it is also thought that
they can be created by the formation of structures and in some cases have
been observed to appear after a structure is built and are drawn to the
site as the result of human activity of a spiritual nature.
ENERGY
LINE
The direction energy takes when moving. It may be straight or curved,
in several dimensions and be composed of one or more different types of
energies, i.e. negative, positive or neutral. Energy lines can be found
at standing stones and ancient sites but are a general feature in all
energy fields.
ENERGY
SPRING OR SHAFT 
A place where a shaft of energy is dowsed as rising vertically from the
surface of the earth. This may have no association with underground water
and is not to be confused with a blind
spring. Generally this energy rises in the form of a spiral
or vortex but can also be in the form of a pillar.
ENERGY
SOURCE
The object creating the energy field
within which the particular energy is found. This could be a tree, a mountain,
a river, a stone or any other feature on the earth, or the earth as a
whole. If the energy is of cosmic origin then the source would be external
to the earth. There is a line of opinion that it is the energy
field that manifests the physical object and not the other
way around (Walter Russell).
ENTITY
The existence of an energy form generally believed to be the result of
a trapped spirit awaiting release to the spiritual realm. They can be
attracted to certain humans and cause distress and ill health.
FENG
SHUI
Literally means “wind and water” and is a form of geomancy
used by the Chinese that balances earth energies with human energies.
It is said to place people between heaven and earth. It is used to determine
the siting of dwellings and graves and regulates the flow of ch’i.
FLOW
DIRECTION
The direction of movement of energy along a dowsable energy
line.
