Jesuit priest Mermet created French Radiesthesia dowsing techniques as a method for discovering herbal remedies and underground water sources. These dowsing methods were also known for use when searching for hidden treasures like ancient treasure troves or historical burial grounds.
This invisible science would go on to play an instrumental role in environmental science and architectural design of living spaces; even becoming the basis of an entire field called Radionics.
Physical Dowsing
Under French Radiesthesia, a pendulum is used to detect subtle energies emitted by all objects and living creatures. According to dowsing philosophy, humans can train themselves to detect vibrational energies and use this knowledge to their own benefit – from finding underground water sources to designing houses that promote health and wellness. This belief has lead to numerous practical applications; from finding underground water sources to designing houses with optimized environments.
Dowsers claim to be adept at identifying energy blockages and imbalances within an individual’s aura or energetic signature, using pendulum movement to reveal which remedies would most effectively restore equilibrium for them. Dowsing has become popular practice within fields like geobiology and architecture where its principles have been employed to identify harmful vertical energy gradients while creating homes more aligned with positive horizontal energies.
Radiesthetic practitioners continue to assert that their work is grounded in scientific principles despite widespread doubt among scientists. Critics of double-blind experiments often point out the ideomotor effect and confirmation bias may account for their results, while asserting that personal and intuitive practices like Radiesthetic cannot adhere to standard experimental protocols of traditional science.
Dowsing can be described as an uncomfortable tingling sensation that may feel similar to electric shock, chill or warmth in your hands or shivering or trembling in them; and may accompany bodily reactions such as nausea and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Dowser reactions are thought to be caused by magnetic anomalies triggering muscular spasms that induce neuromuscular twitching which has been reproduced using instruments such as electrocardiograms and changes in electrical skin potential in lab environments.
Early on in dowsing’s history, a group of Jesuit priests achieved remarkable skill using a dowsing rod. Abbe Bouly and Abbe Mermet became particularly proficient dowsers; Abbe Bouly published an important book called “Comment J’Opere” around 1930 that documented their practice – Abbe Bouly being particularly adept at finding underground water sources and minerals while Tele-radiesthesie was even practiced in their practice!
Mental Dowsing
Dowsing may seem like an inherently physical practice, but it can also be approached from a psychological angle. Dowsers use their intuition and mental capacity to detect invisible energies known as life forces which they believe exist everywhere from objects and living things such as humans to pendulums or other instruments used for dowsing – this mental form of dowsing is known as mental radiesthesia.
Leon Chaumery and Antoine Bovis, two intrepid explorers who found something that would change human history, found something remarkable inside the Egyptian pyramids: they could detect and interact with subtle energy patterns permeating our reality, thus reigniting an ancient science long forgotten: one which enabled ancient pharaonic surgeons to perform complex brain operations as well as mining gold from Sinai desert pharaohs.
Dowsing’s modern physics rest on the notion that all objects, including humans and their thoughts, emit some form of energy or vibration that can be detected using pendulums or other instruments suited for this task; such as medical dowsing or finding leylines. Dowsing practices such as these utilize this idea.
Radiesthesists have long used their skills to locate herbal remedies in foreign lands and underground water sources. Furthermore, they claimed they could identify imbalances in the body’s energy fields long before physical symptoms would manifest themselves; using pendulum movement, they’d use this information to select which treatment might work best for each patient.
Though science generally disregards dowsing, its popularity remains on the rise. Recently it has gained acceptance as an alternative treatment option for depression and other psychological disorders. Recently MIT graduate students conducted an experiment demonstrating how pendulum movements could detect hidden magnetic fields that may explain some reported dowsing effects.
Environmental Science
Radiesthesia, also known as water divining or dowsing, is often confused with water divining (dowsing). But radiesthesia goes much beyond being an artform: it is an empirical science which strives to register and measure all radiations coming from minerals, plants, animals, humans as well as environmental sources – as well as studying their interactions within an individual and their surrounding environments.
Rediscovered in the early 1900s by two French scientists: physician A de Belizal and engineer Leon Chaumery, they published a significant book in 1940 which remains an authoritative work on this subject matter.
Physical Radiesthesia or Vibrational Physics was once widely practiced throughout Europe and beyond, yet as humanity transitioned into more mechanistic and industrial societies, many of its core precepts became forgotten.
Radiesthesia‘s return signals the need for rediscovery of ancient knowledge. This ancient science works in tandem with both nature’s laws and those that study forces that transcend them, but is also in harmony with subtle energies.
Radiesthesia is founded on the understanding that everything vibrates, and that our universe consists of energy. All living creatures emit vibrational fields (known as biofields). A certain percentage of people can detect them using simple instruments such as pendulums.
French Radiesthesis went beyond simply recording energy fields to also teach that vertical gradients of energy could be harmful, while horizontal ones promote balance, healing and vitality – an understanding that has implications in geobiology, anthropology and architecture among other fields.
Abbe Mermet used his knowledge of Radiesthetics to discover most underground water resources in France and Switzerland by observing their reactions to electromagnetic rays emitted by certain types of rocks; Abbe Mermet had developed Tele-Radiesthesia technology to locate these rays both locally and distantly.
Architecture
The French School’s understanding of subtle energies had significant ramifications for architecture and geobiology. By strategically aligning buildings with beneficial energy flows while mitigating harmful ones, architects could design living and working spaces that promoted health and vitality – knowledge now lost as humanity moved towards industrialization with its focus on material developments and technological progress.
Environmental scientists use the principles of radiesthesia to find underground water sources and detect geological fault lines, while ancient Egyptians utilized its principles for precise medical operations that require sophisticated equipment today.
Physical Radiesthesia is a scientific technique for detecting different radiations of energy that arise from minerals, water sources, and even within our own bodies. While popular forms of Dowsing in England and USA utilize pendulums as tools to interact with subconscious levels, French physical radiesthesia uses Lecher antennas for qualitative detection of energy interactions.
French Radiesthesia not only detects various forms of vibrations, but it also provides detailed information about their quality. With this knowledge a radiesthetist can find remedies that alleviate symptoms associated with disease; using Homoeopathic Materia Medica they may then treat their patient accordingly.
As with any type of energy healing therapy, the conclusions drawn by radiesthetists about their patients’ energy bodies cannot be scientifically verified; their observations could be affected by subconscious cues and placebo effects; nonetheless, experienced radiesthetists can produce impressive results that come close to homoeopathic simillimum values.
As such, it is necessary for radiesthetist’s findings to be independently confirmed through other means when diagnosing chronic illnesses that remain unresolved. A radiesthetist should review a patient’s medical history with particular reference to symptoms, duration and genetic predisposition to certain diseases; pay close attention to condition of nervous system, blood and bones including vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as any environmental influences such as climate. Ultimately he or she should look out for any hidden disease conditions which might influence these factors by environment etc.
