Dowsing Fact Sheets

British Society of Dowsers Factsheets

	An Overview of Dowsing. Dowsing, also known as "divining", is an intuitive art and discipline used in all parts of the world in both ancient and modern times. A technique for bringing information from the intuitive or subconscious senses to the attention of the rational mind, it has potential value in almost every area of human endeavour, research and activity, and dowsing practitioners find it a valuable tool in both their work and their everyday lives.
	Dowsing for Water. Dowsing for sources of underground water, whether for private, community or commercial utility is a time-honoured practice with skilled and experienced practitioners to be found all over the world and in almost every community.
	Archaeological Dowsing Dowsing has been used as a tool to aid archaeological research for many years and in a wide variety of situations. Although it is not always publicly acknowledged that dowsing is being employed, the shortage of time, of human and material resources and the often overwhelming size of a site of potential interest lend great weight and value to the guidance and focus that dowsing can bring.
	Dowsing for Health The practice of healthcare, both conventional and holistic, is generally held to be both art and science, and even in the most high-tech of therapeutic environments, the intuitive "hunch" of the practitioner is rarely disregarded and is often found to be of great benefit.
	Dowsing and Geopathic Stress Dowsing allows the detection of the presence, and the assessment of the nature and quality, of various subtle earth energies. Some of the detectable earth energies are related to geomagnetic anomalies created by the presence of flowing underground water, of dry faults and fissures, of subterranean cavities, or of mineral and crystal deposits.
