***My 3 Favorite Deviceless Dowsing Techniques

There are many deviceless dowsing techniques. If this subject interests you, then you will want to take a dowsing course that covers it. But for now, I want to introduce you to my 3 favorite methods of dowsing without a tool. They are easy to learn, and they are wonderful to use in public, as no one can tell you are dowsing. Deviceless dowsing uses your body to get a yes or no response. Most people find that certain methods of deviceless dowsing work better for them than others do. These three methods are sure to offer you at least one that you are able to get a good response with. Don't be discouraged if all of them don't work equally well. Pick the one you like best and begin dowsing with it. Later on, you might want to try another method. Method #1: The Body Sway The body sway is one of the most reliable and easiest deviceless techniques. Because it involves the whole body, it is also less subject to false answers. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Relax. Have your back straight, but be comfortable. Closing your eyes will enhance the response. Start by asking your polarity question, which you already know the answer to. Be sure to just be curious about what your body will do. I was born in Washington, DC, so I would ask, "Was I born in Washington, DC in this life?" When you ask the question, you can say it out loud or silently in your head. Usually, being pulled forward is yes, true and healthy for you. Being pushed back is usually no, false and unhealthy for you. So I would drift forward when I asked my polarity question. If you went backwards, your polarity may be flipped. Read the post on Pitfalls in Dowsing and fix it before doing any more dowsing. Next, ask a question about a place you were not born. For me, I could ask, "Was I born in Paris, France in this life?" That will give me the opposite response and establish my 'no'. Sometimes people get a response that is not a forward or backward, but instead is to one side or the other. It may be that if you get an unusual response, you are being asked to rephrase the question, ask another question, or being told the question is inappropriate. With practice, you will be able to interpret other motions. We have found that at first, people sometimes only have a slight response. That's ok. Any response is good. With practice, you will maybe find that your really strong yes answers pull you forward faster and harder than weak yes answers. This method is reliable and easy for most people to use. Method #2: Blink Dowsing This is a personal favorite of both Nigel and me. We began to use this a lot when working on the phone with clients, because we needed our hands free. We liked it so much, that we rarely use a tool anymore. This is the most unobtrusive deviceless technique, but not everyone finds it easy to do. Soft focus your eyes and look at a blank area of the wall. Relax. Think or say your polarity question, the one about your birthplace. Notice if your eyelids blink or not. Maybe they blink twice. If you are not sure that the blink was a dowsing response, ask the question again. Whatever your eyelids did was your 'yes' response. I get a single blink for 'yes'. Then ask a question putting in a place you were not born. This will establish your 'no' response. I get no blinks for 'no'.' The important thing is that you have a clear difference between 'yes' and 'no'. Once you establish which is which, you can begin to dowse. With blink dowsing, sometimes just a strong feeling of needing to blink is a 'yes'. Also, you are continually blinking, so if you are uncertain if your blink was just a blink, ask your dowsing question again. Method #3: Finger Rub Believe it or not, the ridges on your fingers will change when you are dowsing. Usually, a 'yes' response will make the ridges more prominent, while a 'no' response will make them smoother. So you can use this to advantage when dowsing in a number of ways. Rub your index finger and thumb together gently to establish a baseline. Notice how smooth or rough the skin feels. Recently washing your hands or putting a skin cream on may make this type of dowsing a bit harder. Now ask your polarity question about your birthplace. Notice any difference in how rough or smooth the skin feels when rubbing the fingers together. Next, put the wrong location in your polarity question and notice the difference. Usually, a false location will give a smoother feel, while a true location will feel rough or sticky. This method can be used in a number of other ways as well. You can just gently rub your index finger on your jeans or a table top if you wish. Deviceless dowsing is easy to do anywhere. It is unobtrusive. It requires no tools. You can begin to dowse immediately. One of these methods should work for you. Happy Dowsing!
