Dowsing can be used to locate underground water and materials, missing people or objects as well as illness in humans.
Abbe Mermet’s classic book on Radiesthesia from over 75 years ago should be included in any dowser’s library.
Dowsing
Dowsing is an ancient technique that utilizes long rods known as dowsing rods or pendulums to locate items or transfer healing energy. While some individuals view dowsing as pseudoscience or black magic, research has proven otherwise and its scientific basis.
Father Abbe Mermet was one of the earliest modern radiesthetists. As a Swiss clergyman he documented his findings regarding dowsing more than 75 years ago in an important book entitled Principles and Practice of Radiesthesia, making a serious attempt at teaching it; eventually becoming internationally renowned radiesthetists.
He became widely respected for locating water sources across South Africa as well as lost or stolen items, using tele radiesthesia technology. Furthermore, he employed dowsing techniques to diagnose health issues and heal patients using natural treatments.
Mermet’s book laid the groundwork for establishing dowsing as an accepted scientific discipline. He developed the witness chamber – a hollow copper or brass rod equipped with an observation hole and utilized to demonstrate how certain substances could increase pendulum sensitivity, thus increasing its ability to detect emanations both locally and remotely. As a result of Mermet’s research, various techniques including medical dowsing as well as radionics were created and later popularized worldwide.
Radiesthesia has long been employed across cultures for both divination and practical applications, including divining for underwater water sources such as minerals. Ancient Egyptians used an early version of Abbe Mermet’s dowsing rod in order to locate underground waters and minerals as this provided essential resources during difficult times.
Modern radiesthesia has come under scrutiny by mainstream media. A recent article in The Times described radiesthesia as “a bit of black magic that doesn’t seem to help anyone”. Unfortunately, such misinformation only serves to dissuade individuals from exploring this exciting science in its early years and all its applications.
Vibrational radiesthesia is a versatile skill that can be utilized in multiple ways. The key is understanding that all objects, plants, and animals emit some form of energy in the form of vibrations or waves that can be detected with either a dowsing rod or pendulum.
Turenne, Chaumery and de Belizal have demonstrated that dowsing is a true science that can be used to address practical problems. As we continue to learn more about radiesthesia, its applications become ever more useful to all of us. With proper training, any person of any age or sex can learn how to use a dowsing rod and experiment with its uses – this experience can be shared among friends and family alike and provides a truly thrilling and enriching way of exploring your world and making life more meaningful!
