The Divining Mind: A Guide to Dowsing and Self-Awareness [Paperback]

T. E. Ross (Author), Richard D. Wright (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1990

The art of divining, or dowsing, has for years been cloaked in mystery and superstition.  Recognized by some as a means of finding water and minerals, it is actually a method for anyone to develop intuitive skills.  This thought-provoking book demystifies dowsing and presents this ancient science as a powerful tool for self-knowledge. 

Includes a brief history of dowsing, and step-by-step instructions for learning to use L-rods, Y-rods, and pendulums, as well as non-device dowsing. 

 Shows how dowsing is used for locating water, gold and other minerals, buried artifacts, ancient ritual sites, and in police work to help find missing persons.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"For a complete stranger to dowsing you would be hard put to find a better introduction; for those who think they already know something, it might be a surprising revelation."
(

 Journal of the British Society of Dowsers

)

"The Divining Mind is a must for your reading. Not just a book to be read and filed away, it is a book to be studied and absorbed and used as a guide for the everyday practical experiences of dowsing."

This review is from: The Divining Mind: A Guide to Dowsing and Self-Awareness (Paperback)

This book explores all the root problems associated with digging wells and finding water. How much water flow per minute, how deep to dig, are there obstructions in the path of the drill to the water source, which way does the water flow,is it clean water, hard water, is it plentiful year round. Before digging a well I wanted to have all these questions taken care of. After reading this I hired a Dowser to tell us where to put a well on our lot. He corrected our landscape plan to get the septic away from this well. Previous planners did not engage in any of these issues. We would have been drinking toilet water folks!!This book is a must for home builders.
