Principles
Many people associate “radiesthesia” with dowsing rods used to locate underground water or minerals; however, radiesthesia is much more than this. Radiesthesia is an ancient empirical science often derided as “quack science”, yet has an extensive tradition of healing as well as finding missing persons and diagnosing diseases.
Abbe Mermet was a village priest who became well-known throughout Europe for his skill as an accomplished radiesthesist; through his research into our natural sensitivities to radiations and force-fields, his studies helped form the basis for modern-day Radiesthesia as an emerging science. In this book he details both its principles as well as various applications, such as finding underground waters or minerals; prospecting for mineral deposits; searching for lost people or even providing Teleradiesthesia treatment services.
Radiesthetic theory states that every matter and living organism produces its own specific radiesthetic colour, which differs from its visible appearance. A green deciduous tree doesn’t produce this characteristic hue, while liver does. Therefore, using pendulum alone or combined with visualization techniques one can take an energy sample of living bodies that accurately represents their energy status as an organ is exposed. This mental sample acts similarly to laboratory samples in reflecting upon what its energy status may be like.
Mental Radiesthesia can also be used for detecting vibrations of music, text and any other abstract or subtle matters. Experienced radiesthetists using this method exclusively can produce results that cannot be explained by current medical technology alone. However, their unique skills allow them to quickly identify the hidden cause of diseases (which remains hidden from most medical diagnostic tools) and develop effective remedies. Radioestetists should always embrace an attitude of benevolent curiosity, patient, and persistent repetition to build future theories upon solid empirical foundations – this will allow them to acquire and sustain this remarkable gift.
Methods
Radiesthesia involves using a pendulum (or dowsing rod) to detect vibrations and radiations which are invisible to the naked eye, but which still exist throughout our environment, including objects, people and places. Radiesthetists believe these vibrations carry information as well as amplify physical properties of objects – helping locate things or assess whether an object or person needs healing.
Radiesthesia has been practiced for millennia. Used in numerous ways and as an ancient form of divination, many techniques exist involving pendulums or similar devices to detect invisible forces that are sensed by our bodies.
Dowsing or water divination was used by Jesuit missionaries to search for herbal medicines in foreign lands, while it also saw heavy use during both World Wars for finding mines; some military applications still utilize this technique today. Radiesthesia has since become a tool used for research and exploration in fields as diverse as underground water detection, mineral discovery, as well as animal/plant location.
Radiesthesia has proven its worth in health and healing by helping identify imbalances or toxicity issues in a person’s system, eliminating energetic blocks that impede balance and harmony, and pinpointing appropriate remedies based on that person’s unique energy signature.
Utilizing various tools, including a pendulum, practitioners can produce vibrational samples of a subject that remain stable over time and distance. Once created, this sample can then be examined directly in front of the subject for examination as a powerful diagnostic aid; an aura sample could show the state of their body such as diet imbalances, negative emotional patterns or genetic diseases; medical doctors then can treat this underlying source.
Techniques
Radiesthesia involves employing pendulums or dowsing rods to detect radiations and vibrations invisible to human eyes, also known as spiritual dowsing. This form of divination can be used for various purposes including finding underground water sources, diagnosing health conditions and communicating with the universe.
From ancient times until modern day, our ability to communicate with subtle energies has grown increasingly essential in the modern world. Doctors and other healthcare providers use radiesthesia as part of their practices in order to improve patient outcomes, enhance surgical precision, identify disease causes, or diagnose illnesses such as cancer. Therapists likewise utilize it in assessing energetic imbalances that contribute to mental or physical illness and develop treatments tailored specifically for each individual patient.
Ancient Egypt practiced radiesthesia as a precise science. Pharaonic doctors, engineers, and geologists were able to use it for complex operations using this method; and it’s believed that Pharaohs and Pharaonic priestesses utilized its power in amplifying energy to both create life and destroy it. A modern offshoot of this ancient art form is Reiki healing which uses practitioners’ hands as antennae for receiving subtle energies from the universe.
Psychometry is another offshoot of radiesthesia that uses pendulums to detect electromagnetic fields surrounding people or objects, often used as divination by practitioners ranging from clairvoyants to metal detectors; more recently it has also become part of Reiki healing practice and used as an information source to assist their healing processes for patients.
Teleradiesthesia, which employs dowsing instruments to detect vibrations of objects and people from long distances, was widely employed by Jesuit missionaries searching for herbal medicines and mineral waters abroad, with French Jesuit Abbe Mermet becoming famous for this work and publishing an important book on it around 1930 (“Comment J’opere”).
Many radiesthetists believe in an interconnected universe composed of universal living energy that connects all living things. Additionally, they consider thoughts and emotions vibratory forces; any phenomena observed as the result of this connection is considered “radiesthetic.” They argue that understanding these forces would put radiesthetic on firm scientific grounding; however critics note that double-blind experiments have failed to verify validity claims related to this ancient art form; in addition, formal training or professional accreditation might stifle its intuitive and personalized nature.
Applications
Radiesthesia can be applied in a wide variety of fields; however, many practitioners specialize in specific applications of it. Some professionals specialize in locating underground water sources (dowsing), while others use radiesthesia to treat patients and locate lost objects. Some scientists have developed methods of communicating with animals and plants. Applications include the detection of mineral ores and gems, geological mapping, treasure hunting and even finding gold mines. Radiesthesists possess an incredible level of sensitivity which allows them to detect vibrational information not detectable by human senses. Numerous techniques have been devised for gathering this data ranging from using simple pendulums up to complex electronic devices.
Radiesthetic colours distinguish all living things and nonliving material alike, often in syntony with visible color but rarely identically so. Abbe Mermet popularized this form of consciousness-raising during the 1930s with his book entitled, “Comment J’Opere”. He became well-known for using this method to detect water and minerals across France and Switzerland while teaching it long distance as remote radiesthesia.
Vibrational samples stand out as being dynamic; they continue to reflect the energy status of their source regardless of distance, making them superior to orthodox laboratory samples that only show what was happening when they were taken.
Radiesthesists should take great care to avoid auto-suggestion, one of the primary pitfalls in their work. It’s easy for an inexperienced or novice dowser to make suggestions about what the pendulum should do by focusing on it or thinking about its movements; this should always be avoided; though an experienced practitioner may see their pendulum respond without further direction from themselves – in such a case the pendulum often does what was asked of it automatically without needing prompting from their hands dowser; while an expert dowser also knows when it is appropriate or not appropriate to inquire further into answers provided by others or asking what questions.
