Dowsing Can Help You Change Your Life
Did you know that the earliest reference to dowsing as it is being used today came from Germany in the sixteenth century? That’s impressive, but what is even more impressive is that it works. Allow me to share with you this excellent article that goes into the details:
Quote by Albert Einstein
“I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.”
DOWSING THE ANCIENT ART
The earliest reference to dowsing as it is practised to day came from the German speaking lands of northern Europe in the fifteenth century. By the sixteenth century miners in several parts of Germany were using dowsing to locate veins of mineral ore. Georg Bauer also known as Geogius Agricola (1494 – 1555) described how dowsers search for ore in his famous work De Re Metallca. He wrote: All alike grasp the forks of the twig with their hands, clenching their fists, it being necessary that their clenched fingers should be held towards the sky in order that the twig should be raised at that end where the two branches meet. Then they wander hither and thither at random through mountainous regions. It is said that the moment they place their feet on a vein the twig immediately turns and twists and so by its action discloses the vein; when they move their feet again and go away from that spot the twig becomes once more immobile.
As demand for ore increased mines opened up across Europe. Prospectors traveled far in the search for new deposits and metal ore, amongst these prospectors were dowsers.
In England, Elizabeth I encouraged German prospectors and mining experts to develop the resources of her land. Together with their expertise in smelting and metal working they also brought their art of searching for metal ores with a forked twig.
DOWSING IN MODERN TIMES
In more modern times dowsing has been and is still used in many areas of life.
