Dowsing or radiesthesia is a technique using a pendulum to detect invisible energies, such as underground water sources or minerals, missing objects or potential disease conditions in patients.
Abbe Mermet was a country priest from Luxembourg who became widely acclaimed throughout Europe for his skill as an accomplished modern radiesthesist; his research into our natural sensitivities to radiations and force fields provided this practice with solid grounding that elevated it into scientific inquiry.
Origins
Dowsing or Radiesthesia is an ancient technique using pendulums to detect invisible energies. For millennia it has been employed as an ancient art to detect underground water sources and minerals, missing persons or objects, diagnose illness in humans and balance vibrations of different elements and supplements. Abbe Mermet first published his findings about Radiesthesia 75 years ago in his landmark work which focused on techniques rather than theories, believing no theory could fully account for all facts; his famous brass dowsing rods with Witness Chambers (holes drilled in their top that can be opened) quickly became well known for detecting hidden energies and uncover hidden energy sources.
This book highlights many of his discoveries through radiesthesia, detailing its techniques. He became widely-recognized throughout Europe for his abilities as a radiesthesist – being able to find lost objects, prospect for gold deposits and diagnose disease in patients. Through research into human biological sensitivities to radiations and force-fields radiesthesia was raised from mere theory into an established scientific discipline.
Dowsing societies now exist worldwide and people from various walks of life use it regularly as it’s easy, cheap and non-invasive – with no side effects whatsoever – making it popular with large corporations for problem solving while individuals such as Evelyn Penrose use dowsing to locate underground water pipes. Dowsers have even been employed by military services for purposes such as pinpointing enemy sites or planning troop movement routes.
Techniques
Dowsing (also referred to as “radiesthesia“) is an ancient art which uses pendulums to detect invisible energies, and can be used to locate underground water and minerals, missing persons or objects and even illnesses in individuals. Although once considered witchcraft or magick by some scientists, modern quantum physics advances now support radiesthesia‘s legitimacy as an accepted scientific practice.
Madame Marguerite Maury was renowned as an expert on teaching radiesthesia and its medical applications. Her book “Principles and Practice of Radiesthesia” remains an authoritative work on this subject and should be read by anyone wishing to use pendulums for health purposes.
Radiesthesia is an extremely precise scientific discipline which uses invisible energies in any object or living being to detect invisible forces. Its roots date back millennia to ancient Egypt where it was practiced as an exact science with complex systems of pendulums to identify elements’ atomic structures; over time their knowledge became lost but only fragments remained as folklore or magical practices.
Abbe Mermet was a revered village priest and one of the world’s foremost modern radioesthesists. In this book he describes all of his techniques and experiments used to establish radioesthesis on an effective practical foundation and elevate it into an entirely new science. He became especially known for locating water sources both nearby and across long distances (teleradiesthesia).
Radiesthetists believe that all living things, from plants to people, emit electromagnetic energies known as auras that emanate electromagnetic fields that manifest as their colors and intensities depending on vibrational frequencies of an organism or object. Radiesthesia rods provide an accurate means of measuring these electromagnetic energies.
Detection
People often believe that all living and inanimate objects possess energy fields containing vibrational information, known as auras. Radiesthetists assert that auras can be detected using a simple dowsing rod; when held by one of their specialists, it responds with tones which vary in intensity and color depending on what object is being scanned.
Dowsing, known by various names, dates back millennia. It has been used to detect underground water and minerals, search for gold deposits, find missing persons and diagnose disease. Notable practitioners include Jesuit priest Abbe Mermet who published his findings in 1930’s book and became renowned as an accomplished radiesthetist across Europe.
Abbe Mermet’s groundbreaking research into human sensitivity to radiations and force fields provided scientific grounds for radiesthesia. He devised a practical methodology for using pendulums, with documented success locating underground water sources and missing persons establishing it as an established field.
Medical dowsing, an offshoot of radiesthesia, has long been used to aid patients recovering from illnesses and assess the efficacy of medications. It’s especially useful for detecting chronic diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome that are hard to identify using traditional means alone; home health care practitioners use it frequently as well to balance energies within their patients. Dowsing dates back over three millennia; its origins lie with ancient Chinese Feng Shui techniques.
Applications
Though still widely disapproved by modern scientific circles, radiesthesia is widely utilized by people around the world to locate underground water sources, minerals, or missing items. Furthermore, its usage can help diagnose illnesses or assess medication effectiveness.
Abbe Mermet was a French Jesuit priest and one of Europe’s premier radiesthetists. His groundbreaking research into human body’s natural sensitivity to radiations and force fields established Radiesthesia as an accurate basis for new science. His remarkable discoveries included dowsing for underground water and minerals, missing person location and long distance Tele Radiesthesia (the detection of illness or disease over long distances).
He was widely known to use brass pendulums with Witness Chambers – hollow spaces drilled into their top surface that could be accessed by detaching one end of a rod – that allowed people to ask questions during sessions and receive answers about its content. His book Principles and Practice of Radiesthesia published over 75 years ago remains an iconic work on radioesthesis literature.
Radiesthetists believe that all living things, from animals to plants and even humans, produce electromagnetic energy fields called auras. These energies are easily detectable with a pendulum, and vary depending on who or what object or individual is being sensed – for instance a tree produces an aura with hues to match the color of its leaves while people’s auras contain colors reflecting both physical and emotional states.
Many radiesthetists believe that one’s health and wellbeing are determined by their energy field, so radiesthetists attempt to balance out various elements, supplements, medications, etc. that affect it in order to achieve greater health and well-being for their clients. They may combine techniques of radiesthesia with acupuncture or acupressure in order to offer more comprehensive therapies to their patients.
Methods
Radiesthesia can be employed to locate underground water sources, minerals deposits or missing persons; it’s also increasingly being employed in medical dowsing – an approach which deals with vibrational relationships on an energetic level to diagnose illness in people. Radiesthesia represents an extension of traditional physics into new realms.
Radiesthetists use long rods which are bent to detect vibrations or energy fields from objects and living organisms. A radiesthetist believes that all living things (including plants and animals) possess their own vibrational field which varies with each species – an aura. Their rods allow them to detect these auras by sensing living things through vibrational sensing as well as metals or other materials using them for detection purposes.
Dowsing has been practiced for thousands of years. Jesuit priests used this technique extensively when searching foreign countries for water and minerals; German armies employed dowsers during both World Wars as mine detectors; while Feng Shui practitioners have employed it since 3000 BCE for finding springs and selecting building sites. Abbe Mermet was one of Europe’s premier radiesthetists. In 1934 he published his findings on radioaesthesia in this landmark book which detailed techniques and experiments rather than theories; believing no single theory could fully account for all facts. Abbe Mermet became particularly well known for his use of brass pendulums equipped with Witness Chambers that could only be accessed when detached from the dowsing rod.
Madame Marguerite Maury, a French nurse and massage therapist known for treating eczema and other illnesses successfully, dedicated her life to teaching radiesthesia. She created a course which teaches beginners how to locate water, minerals, missing persons, disease markers, cancerous tumors and detect other cancers using this form of energy therapy. Since then, Madame Maury has written additional books and taught it worldwide.
