Dowsing for Discernment

In view of the difficulty to really know who or what to believe, you might experiment with the below dowsing program. Let me know if you think it helps.

Basic Guidelines

  1. Dowsing accuracy requires you to be neutral and unattached to the answer you might receive. In other words, before you can dowse for discernment, it is necessary to let go of your preconceived notions as to what is true or false. Let go of all attachment to what you already believe or want to be true or fear may be true. If you can’t do that, don’t bother dowsing at all because you will only justify your pre-conceived ideas, or hopes or fears. Be alert to any unconscious attempt to direct the swing.
  2. Dowsing accuracy also requires you to neutralize and clear away mass consciousness and any external influence. In other words, the thoughts and emotions of people around you, and those picked up from the media and internet are contagious and interfere with you being able to think for yourself. 

I have heard that you are affected by mass consciousness for up to a 10 mile radius. But if you can neutralize beyond that point, so do it. Especially ask to neutralize and clear specific emotions that you are aware of that are riding high at the moment such as fear, doom, grief, panic, anger, hatred, etc. Ask to neutralize the mass consciousness up to the farthest radius possible. 

Because of the internet, radio and television, we are affected by mass consciousness globally through technology as well. Note that advertising includes subliminal messages. And some thoughts and emotions can also be broadcast via radio waves, internet, cell phone towers, satellites—sadly, all part of the dark use of technology. The military has had the ability to do this for at least since the Iraq war. It is called ‘The Voice of God’ technology. So be sure to neutralize all possible detrimental external influences as you can.

  1. Run all dowsing responses through your ‘gut meter’– your internal sense of what is true or false. 

Think of a time you just knew in your being that something was true or right ahead of time and it proved to be correct. What were those body signals and where? Then think of when something didn’t feel right. It was ‘off’ in some way, and you were also later proved to be correct. What were those body signals and where were they located? If you get a feeling of anything other than ‘spot on’ with a dowsing response, then you need to figure out what needs to be done before you can accept the answer.

Your gut will alert you to when you are not clear of discordant energies, or your question is not worded correctly, or you should not be asking it, or you are not getting to the heart of the matter, etc. Always pay attention to those body signals.

I personally use a simple laminated chart that I have made called “Prepare to Dowse”. It includes 20 items of dowsing preparation, and also 5 degrees of strong yes – strong no on it, and ‘may I, can I, should I’. The flip side is the “Master Dowsing Chart” with percentages, and dates and timing. It is available for sale on my website. Click here: 

Dowsing Intentions/Commands for Discernment

  • “It is commanded to access, download and activate within me the ability to clearly discern truth from fiction, mind control, propaganda or lies, and accuracy from inaccuracy. Do this now in all areas of concern including education, science, medicine, health, philosophy, history, politics, media, personal interactions, and spiritual beliefs.
  • Download within me the ability to clearly discern when information is being innocently omitted or sincerely believed yet false, from when information is deliberately being hidden, disguised, or falsified. 
  • Access, download and activate my ability to be able to discern the true agendas of others and strengthen this ability with every passing day. 
  • Install a subtle but clear physical sensation and awareness that indicates when someone is telling the truth. Do that now.
  • Install a subtle but clear physical sensation and awareness that indicates when someone is lying. Do that now.
  • Install a subtle but clear physical sensation and awareness that indicates when someone is sincere but the facts are inaccurate. Do that now.
  • I call upon the beneficial forces of the Heavens that love humanity to free all minds from the stranglehold of lies and deceit. Make the truth so obvious to the masses that they can no longer be controlled through ignorance or deception. Do this now in accordance with Divine Law.
  • Neutralize the mentality that knowingly creates and disseminates false information and lies through indoctrination, mind control, brainwashing, propaganda and lies.
  • Neutralize the consciousness that has sought and continues to seek control over others through deceit, manipulation, censorship, dependency, and all forms and means of suppression of knowledge and accurate information. 
  • Neutralize the consciousness that uses the weapons of ridicule, censorship, threats, bullying, punishment, torture and death to silence those who question, and those who know, speak and spread the truth. Heal the trauma of those who have suffered as a result, and heal the fear and trauma of those who have witnessed their suffering. 
  • Neutralize any possible spirit of greed, of desire to control, manipulate, or push the populace into any agenda that is against their highest good through fear, through control of the media, through manipulation or forceful suppression of the truth and those who tell it in any way.
  • Imbue courage and honesty in those who know the truth and want to speak up to do so. Download in both them and us the wisdom about the most effective way to do so. And surround all of us with the support and protection we need to do so safely. 
  • Assist and protect all those desiring and working to create a world where the search for truth is honored and protected, where voicing differences of opinions is not only allowed but protected, and where people can live together in harmony and collaboration without fighting over differences of opinions or beliefs.
  • Fully expose those in power who mean us harm. Expose the means by which they have and are working against the well-being of the people.
  • Remove all those who would profit from deceit and evil agendas from positions and places of power and influence whether political or corporate.
  • Download, access and activate within me and all people both the awareness of what we each can do, and the will to take action to make this world that nurtures and protects the highest good of all it’s citizens and the planet.
  • Duplicate all of the above intentions now for all humans across all timelines as appropriate and in accordance with their highest good and Divine Law.”

fullsizeoutput_356Dowsing on News Sources

  1. Make a list of possible news sources including the word ‘other’ at the end. Don’t just include your usual or mainstream sources of information, but others in the alternate media even those you have never used. Note that almost all mainstream tv/radio/newspapers are owned by just 6 corporations. Hence, there is little difference among them, and in fact, multiple channels have been caught multiple times reading the exact same news script from a teleprompter. For a more balanced picture, it is good to have more than one source that is not related to another. You can google alternative media sites and dowse right off the internet lists you locate. 
  2. When you are reading/listening to a specific article, news report, video, interview, etc., ask what is the percentage of accuracy in this specific ____(article/video/tv/radio) report? 
  3. EXERCISE: Google ‘Alternative Media Sites’ and pick any listing to dowse. 

Here is one article that I link as useful for this exercise because it lists a total 28 different news sites. Click here.  Only look at the names of the media sites and look up their website listed after you do the exercise.

Take a sheet of paper and number from 1-28. Once you have gotten your dowsing answers then you click on the individual websites to check them out. See if blind dowsing on the number of the site compares with your reaction once you check on the individual website. You can repeat this process with any other list you find.

Here are some possible questions to ask that you can do even without looking at the name of the site.

    • Is there any news site on this list that would be a good, general source of accurate, unbiased iinformation? Is there more than one? How many? Please indicate the number of the site on my list with the highest overall rating. Give me the percentage of overall truthfulness and accuracy for each of the recommended sites.
    • Are there any sites in this list that I should skip as an inactive site? 
    • Are there any sites on this list that are highly biased site? Which number/s?
    • Are there any on this list that are full of inaccurate, unverified information? Which number/numbers?
    • Are there any on this list that are just inappropriate or not useful for me? Which number/s?
    • Is there one or more much better sites for me not on this list? Do I already use them? [if ‘yes’, you can jot down some sources you regularly go to, and then ask] Is it on this second list? Please indicate.
    • Can I trust the reporting on ___ [name of news channel/newspaper/internet source] on the topic of ____[name of topic]?
    • What is the best source of accurate, unbiased reporting on the topic of ____?
    • In general, what is a good source of accurate, unbiased reporting on issues concerning me?

Basic Dowsing Guidelines


All dowsing needs to done from a place of personal power, calm, focused intention, and transmitted with a firm will and emotional energy. 

  • Affirm & step into your personal power

This is given to you by ___ (God, your Creator/Source). You are not begging or pleading for favors. Rather, claim your right to be here, to chart your own course, to declare what you want in your own life, and the kind of world that will  support you in pursuing it. My personal belief is that your unique spirit like that of everyone else was created on purpose to BE HERE, to offer what only you can. So BE HERE fully starting with an affirmation and then with grounding.

Write out your own strong statement of belief, and affirm it. Such statement can help you face any challenge with or without dowsing. To my affirmation below, I may add any other phrases that are appropriate in the moment. Here is my opening affirmation:


  • Gather your strength.

On big dowsing projects such as mass global problems that will require massive energy to heal or shift, gather a group to assist you, the bigger the problem, the bigger the group to assemble. It will take as little as 1% of the people to impact the entire world.

You can do this in meetings in-person or virtually. Lynne McTaggert does this by setting up groups of 8. Or you can simply make a psychic request for their High Self to join with you in the healing intention. Group members do not have to be with you physically nor even consciously aware of your request for their help. You might call upon beneficial spiritual forces, religious figures, saints, gurus, those that love humanity and this planet, or people living or dead who have or already are making a powerful, positive difference in the world to join with you in spirit in the healing work you are about to do.

You might imagine holding hands in a circle around the target of your intention whether it be the Earth itself, a person, group, region or nation. As I visualize those I admire and respect welcoming me into their circle and joining hands with me, I am strengthened and empowered. I recognize that I am truly not alone, but rather I am being supported by the universe.

  • Ground & Energize

Many images help in grounding. Whether you drop anchor deep into the earth, or imagine an electrical plug in the bottoms of your feet that connects you to an electrical cable going down to the earth’s core, or you imagine growing roots like a tree, grounding and increasing your energy is important. Pull that energy up through your feet, up your spine and out your head, and then loop it back down to the earth picking up any stress or toxins on the downward cycle and removing it out your feet.Offer the toxins to the microbes in the soil who can use it as compost. Make several cycles until you feel your legs tingling with energy.

  • Center


  • Connect


  • Increase your aura and set up a force field


  • Continuously monitor and rebalance  your mental, emotional and physical state.

Clear any general detrimental energies around yourself, your home and property whenever you feel a dip towards a less than ideal state. Such detrimental energies can include a wide variety of things such as your own mental or emotional issues,  mass consciousness, noxious energies, EMF, as well as external and deliberate negative or sinister interference. It is not advisable to clear strong negative interference without checking if you are up for it first (“can I?, may I?, should I?, am I ready?”)

Start with words like “neutralize, pulverize, transmute, heal, delete, cancel, or scramble the frequency of ___”. Don’t just say ‘clear’ because the energy will just find someone else to pick upon. Clean it up first. Then either clear it followed by bringing in specific wonderful new energies, or transforming the negative into something positive directly.

    • “It is commanded to completely and permanently ____ [cut/sever/ dissolve/ transmute/ pulverize and remove/ scramble the frequency of] all ____ [name of problem] affecting ___ [person’s name] on every level and dimension of ___(his/her) being throughout all of ___ (his/her) existences. ___. Replace it with the frequency of ___.”
  • Run all dowsing responses through your ‘gut meter’

Your gut, which is your internal sense of what is true or false, will alert you to when you are not clear of discordant energies, or your question is not worded correctly, or you should not be asking that question, or you are not getting to the heart of the matter, etc. Always pay attention to those body signals and then decipher what they mean through charts or with use of your own checklist.


  • With any long protocol, you can ask if you need to zero in on any particular command or create a separate dowsing program.

“Do I need to focus on any particular area right now? today?” If you get a ‘yes’, hold the pendulum over the side of the page, and say ‘please indicate’Allow the pendulum drag you to that section, word or phrase. Then issue that command, wait for the swing to stop. Ask “is there anything else I need to focus on today?” Repeat process.

Alternately if you are rushed, you could simply put your hand over the entire page, and instruct your dowsing system to “Take appropriate action with everything on this page in accordance with my highest good.” 

Or you could give the protocol a name and install it as a dowsing program, and then activate the entire program with a single command, “Initiate ___ program”. This is useful if you are unable to get to your instructions. But the best way is to go point by point through it.

  • Memorize any commands or phrases that are especially helpful.

Most of the time you will not have your protocol books or charts with you. You need to be able to dowse quickly whenever, wherever needed. Only by thoroughly internalizing the basic framework of how to approach a given problem, and the wordings most useful for you will you be able to dowse throughout the day for individual concerns wherever you are.

  • Pause between command segments to allow time for the work to be done. 

Wait for the pendulum to move and then to stop before proceeding to the next command. This is important in that you will learn what was going on that needed to be cleared or healed, and the strength of it.

When I start going through a protocol, my pendulum swings vertically forward and back for ‘yes’ and side to side for ‘no’. It might move so strongly that it almost flies out of my hand. This equates to spirit is screaming ‘YES!!!’ or ‘NO!!!’ at me. My pendulum spins counterclockwise when it is clearing/removing a negative. And it spins clockwise when it is installing a positive. 

  • Visualize your intentions happening.

Instill an inner certainty that the work is being done. When you are done clearing a negative, you should get a feeling of calm, peace or shift. When bringing in a positive, add the appropriate positive emotions of love, joy, gratitude, etc. to the healing or blessing. If you do not get a good feeling or calm assurance, you will need to redo or repeat your work.

  • At the end of your dowsing session, offer to duplicate whatever healing and blessing work you have done for others.

“There is a part of my being that knows who else can benefit from any of the healing work I have done today. And that part is reaching out to their High Self including those in their ancestral and familial lines to duplicate whatever healing is appropriate for them and for their own highest good. It is doing so now. Take action with the pendulum and indicate when that healing is complete.”[taken from Therapeutic Dowsing & Telepathic Healing by Roxanne Louise]

  • Remember to say ‘thank you’ at the end.

More dowsing protocols will come in later posts.

As Raymon Grace says, 




Therapeutic Dowsing & Telepathic Healing

All sorts of unresolved trauma, drama and emotional residue siphon off vital energy needed to be healthy, happy, successful, productive, and vibrantly alive. Lacking the awareness, skills, time and/or energy to process, these things get shoved in the background where they get added to current stressors making life more difficult. What you think you got over may only have been buried yet still festering beneath the surface, draining energy, and causing trouble.

Clearing Non-Beneficial Energy Patterns in Your Timeline

In the hypnosis world, we call the origin of a problem the root cause. Dowsing colleague, Marty Lucas, calls it the inception point, the point of disruption from wholeness. I like this term as it takes in the broader spiritual dimension spanning centuries.

In conclusion,







You can dowse!


Dowsing is the art of quieting the mind and turning inward to deliberately seek very specific information, which while not known consciously is nonetheless available in the vast sea of consciousness in which all information is already known and everyone is connected. 

Sometimes called water witching, rhabdomancy or radiesthesia, it is an natural form of divination to which everyone can learn to develop. The body reacts to the answers of questions asked with subtle body sensations or movements, which are clearer when using tools such as L or Y rods, bobber or pendulum.

Your body already senses and knows things unconsciously 

Perhaps you remember a time when you had strong gut feelings that correctly warned you of potential danger, or encouraged you to take action and proceed. Perhaps you have been somewhere that had strong good or bad vibes without knowing the history or the people of that place. Maybe you walked into a room and felt immediately uncomfortable although you were completely unaware that an argument had just taken place or that the occupants hated one another. 

I remember visiting the home of Jiddu Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher and writer, in Ojai, California. Now while I was aware that he practiced meditation and wrote books, I knew very little about him. And while I am by nature a serious person, I could not help smiling broadly throughout the site. The house and grounds exuded enormous joy. 

My point is that your body has been sensing things right along, and that inborn ability with training and practice can give you good information upon demand with or without a tool such as an L or Y rod, bobber, pendulum or forked stick. 

Body Dowsing – the Sway Test

The body itself can be used as a dowsing tool. Here’s how.

First drink some water as dowsing works best when you are hydrated. Stand up and separate your feet comfortably apart. Hold an intention of your body moving in a particular direction when the answer to a question that you ask is ‘yes’. Close your eyes. Without being rigid and stiff, but without deliberately moving either, allow your body to show you it’s ‘yes’ response. Internally say “show me ‘yes’ “. Keep repeating until your body moves and note the direction. Then ask your body to indicate the direction for ‘no’. “Show me ‘no’ “ Unless their polarity is reversed, ‘yes’ for most people is indicated by leaning forward, and ‘no’ by leaning backwards. It may be subtle. Practice until it is a clear response.

When you have a distinct direction for each response, then ask simple questions to which you know the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. For example, “my name is ___ .” “I live at ____.” From there you can go on to simple other things for which you can verify after dowsing. For example, “how many quarters are in my wallet?” Then ask “how many nickels? “How many dimes?

Uses of Dowsing

While dowsing is an ancient practice to find water, oil, ore or minerals such as gold, it can also be applied to health, agriculture, business, relationships, forensics, military, and problem solving of all kinds. It can be used to find missing persons, pets, objects, unexploded bombs, unmarked graves, the best location for a home or office, an effective marketing or business strategy, and the best use of your time, energy and resources. It can be used to develop a comprehensive self-care program. It can locate the root cause of issues or problems and determine the best way to address them. However, like everything else, it requires training and practice to do skillfully. But the benefits are well worth the investment.

My passion is in using pendulum dowsing for mental and emotional healing both for myself and my clients.  I have adapted it to the hypnotherapy practice and will be teaching hypnotherapists as well as other mental health professionals how to apply it for that purpose an all-day workshop,  “Therapeutic Dowsing and Telepathic Healing” on Monday, April 29 at the upcoming Heartland Hypnosis Conference, in St. Louis, Missouri.
