OVERGROUNDS
Vertical sinuous waves observed by David Cowan which he states are emitted
from standing stones, energy streams from quarries and radial lines from
radar stations, etc. At source they may be unhealthy or healthy, as far
as humans are concerned. They have been likened to invisible magnetic
curtains, and the waves can be very close together, sometimes too close
to be measured. All of the waves or overgrounds can easily be identified
as they run in regimented, parallel streams, unlike subterranean fissures,
for instance, which wander around in a haphazard fashion
PARALLELS
(OR SIDEBANDS) 
A term used by Underwood to describe parallel lines that run on either
side of the centre of a geodetic
line. He also called these secondary lines.
PETRON
A unit of charge of a stone or other object as defined by J. Fidler. It
is the ratio between the standard swing for a particular rate and the
observed swing. The method of computing this ratio is complex and is therefore
dubious as to its usefulness.
PIEZOELECTRICITY
The appearance of a positive electric charge on one side of certain non-conductive
crystals and negative charge on the opposite side when the crystals are
subjected to mechanical pressure. (Example: In a dark room quartz crystals
will be seen to glow when rubbed together.)
POLARITY
Polarity is used to indicate opposites such as positive
and negative, male
and female. The relationship between polarity and the dowsing response
is not universal, but can be identified by a different action such as
a rod turning up or down or a pendulum rotating clockwise or anticlockwise.
POLARISATION
Polarisation is the preferred direction of light, radio and earth energy
waves. All have oscillating and overlapping electric and magnetic fields
which travel in planes perpendicular to each other. There can be horizontal,
vertical, circular and elliptical polarisation.
POSITIVE
A term used to indicate energy of a specific type, i.e. opposite to negative.
This use of the word positive does not necessarily indicate any similarity
in earth energies to the behaviour of electricity or magnetism. Whilst
that is so it may be that some energies that are dowsed have electrical
and/or magnetic components. Solar energy is thought to be positive as
is yang energy. Some positive
energy can be beneficial to various forms of life.
POTABLE
Used to describe water of good drinking quality. This can be assessed
by dowsing on a scale of 1-100. Some water dowsers use a Mager
Rosette to assess quality.
POWER
CENTRE
A place where there is an intensity of beneficial
energy and a meeting point of yang
and yin earth
energies. Power centres are associated with blind
springs that have at least one energy
ley crossing them and are found at most ancient sacred sites.
However they can also be found elsewhere. Power centres are generally
considered to be places suitable for spiritual enlightenment and healing.
Dowsers using a sleeved L rod have noted that when directly over a power
centre the rod will rotate through 360 degrees.
PRANA
It is the life force, ch’i or spirit that permeates all matter.
The healing energy released through yoga and other means is known as prana.
This term is generally used by geomancers and feng
shui practitioners.
PRANAYAMA
The method of controlling prana in the body is called pranayama. It is
a system of breathing techniques and must be supervised by a teacher.
When properly trained the prana can be directed to specific internal organs.
PRIMARY
WATER
Primary water is formed inside the earth, as opposed to surface water
that is formed in the atmosphere as rain, snow, etc. The primary water
theory says that steam under great pressure, deep in the earth, is forced
upwards, condensing as it gets closer to the surface. This occurs in deep
faults and fractures; where these are, vertical blind
springs or domes
are formed. At places where primary water is found the energy will be
predominately yin or negative
in nature.
PSIONICS
or PSIONIC MEDICINE
A term used to describe a method of diagnosis and treatment, coined by
Dr. George Laurence. In its practice, diagnosis is performed by swinging
a pendulum over printed charts. The appropriate treatment is discovered
by means of witnesses (a hair or sample of some kind from the patient)
and is administered by using homeopathic remedies to cleanse the body
of toxic imbalances and also miasma (putrid matter). It is similar in
many ways to the practice of radionics
or radiesthesia. 
RADIAL
LINES
A series of energy lines
radiating out from a source point. These lines terminate some distance
from the source point, the larger the source the greater length of the
lines. They usually terminate in a spiral
and are not of equal length or equal distance apart. They can be of different
polarities, i.e. negative,
positive or neutral.
RADIESTHESIA
Derived from the French word "radiesthésie" coined by
the Abbé Bouly. The term is used interchangeably with dowsing.
It derives from roots meaning "radiation" and "perception".
Radiästhesie is the corresponding German word. In English
radiesthesia is most commonly used for medical applications.
RADIONICS
(a) Originally a method of divining introduced by Albert Abrams for the
treatment of disease and developed further by Ruth Drown and G. de la
Warr. It employs a system of numerical codes which in diagnosis are read
from, and for treatment are sent on, a series of engraved dials mounted
on a "Black Box". The original box contained incomplete electrical
circuits connected to the metal backing of a rubber "stick pad"
whose suddenly increased friction to a stroking finger was used to detect
the dowsing response.
(b) Now extended to cover the medical uses of a dowsing pendulum in association
with interpretative charts to indicate the diagnosis and treatment of
a patient's condition, as in medical radiesthesia.
RATE
A number that is characteristic of some constituent of the sought object,
and which enables a dowser to distinguish it from intervening and surrounding
objects containing different materials.
By concentrating on the corresponding rate a dowser looking for water
avoids being confused by metal objects, and one seeking a lost gold ring
is not distracted by an iron pipe. By some the rate is associated with
the rate or periodicity of the linking vibration. A dowser's ability to
distinguish his target's rate among others present has been explained
by analogy with the physical phenomenon of resonance, which is used in
tuning a radio receiver. It can be looked upon as the energy signature.
There are no generally agreed rates for different substances; each dowser
has to discover or can chose his or her own table of rates.
REMANENCE
The imprint of energy that remains long after an object has been moved.
