Product Description
You look around at the anxious faces. They're all counting on you. In your hands you hold the two short ends of a Y-shaped stick. Slowly, you start to walk around a field. Suddenly, the stick begins to move, seemingly of its own accord. The tip of the stick is pulled down and the stick bends until you think it might break. When you finally find the point with the strongest pull you say, "Here. Dig here." A few hours later, a much-needed well is producing hundreds of gallons of water.

In olden days this respected practice was known as "water witching." Today it is called dowsing, and the best way to learn this skill is with Richard Webster's Dowsing for Beginners. By learning the techniques in this book you will open a doorway to personal growth, potential financial gain and spiritual development.

Numerous techniques are given. They use simple objects like a forked stick or just your hand. The book is also filled with illustrations and photos that will allow you to see the correct way to use all of these techniques.

Of course, you will be able to use these techniques to discover lost or hidden items. You will be able to find subterranean water, gold, and oil. You will also learn how to use these techniques to answer questions and even help you with potential health problems before they occur.

SPECIAL OFFER: When you get a copy of this book you will be entitled to receive a free dowsing disk, a transparent overlay that allows you to make the best use of your pendulum to determine True North on a map, locate buried objects, develop psychic powers, and more.

Time and again, dowsing has proven to be an effective means of discovering things. You'll even find evidence that governments use it! So if you are ready to begin a new direction in your life, get this book.




From the Publisher
Sitting at a table, I hold a simple chain with a pendant in my hand so that it is free to swing above the tabletop. "Where is my watch?" I ask. "Is it to my right?" The swing of the pendulum shows that it is not there. "Is it behind me?" Suddenly, the motion of the pendulum changes showing that it is there. "How many steps?" I start counting slowly. At twelve, the pendulum again shows yes.

Twelve steps behind me turns out to be behind a dresser in another room. I move the dresser and, there is my watch!

This is just a typical example of how dowsing can help you, and you can learn how to do it in Dowsing for Beginners by Richard Webster.

The use of the pendulum is just one method. This book also shows you how to work with divining rods and a forked wand. You'll also learn how to use a pair of pliers or just your hand. Photos and illustrations help to make all of the instructions very clear and easy to understand.

Not only is this book easy to learn from, but you can check yourself and your accuracy very quickly. Historically, dowsing for water, gold, oil, and lost items has been very successful. It is still used all over the world today. You can learn to use it with just a little practice.

As a special offer, purchase of this book entitles you to receive a free dowsing disk. This is a transparent overlay that allows you to make the best use of your pendulum to determine True North on a map, locate buried objects, develop psychic powers, and more.

You won't just read this book, you'll devour it. When you find out how successful you can be as a dowser, you will be shocked. Get this book. You won't be sorry

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to dowsing, January 7, 2008

By	Laura De Giorgio "www.deeptrancenow.com" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The book provides an overview of different tools for dowsing - using L rods, Y rod, bobber, pendulum, as well as body for dowsing. It contains many interesting stories - many of them seem to be taken from the books which are referenced at the end of this book, and if you already read other books on dowsing, you may recognize some of the stories.

You will find illustrations and photographs related to using different tools for dowsing, some recommended exercises and exploration of different areas of dowsing - finding water, oil, lost or hidden objects, using dowsing for healing, archaeological discoveries and more. Included are interesting profiles of three professional dowsers.
