Frequently Asked Questions
As a dowser for 35 years, I have directed my
dowsing efforts towards finding quality drinking water, finding
answers, doing energy work, and testing for the proper herbal
supplements. Barbara Dowdy-Trabke
Q: [How does dowsing work?]
A: [When we dowse, we use energy; we access the energy of the
Creator, our personal energy, and the energy that is all around us.
The purer our body is (the higher we rate on the positive scale) the
easier it is for us to tap into the knowledge that comes from our
Higher Self and receive a greater flow of energy. One first
needs to go through the 4-step program in my book so that all
dowsing will be accurate and without negative influence.]
Q: [Will I be able to dowse?]
A: [If you have the desire to learn to dowse, I will be able to
teach you. I have even been able to teach people who have been
skeptics; a little doubt is okay. But, if you have a
completely closed mind, you won't be able to learn. Once again
this proves that the ability to learn is in the hands of the
student.]
Q: [What do you use dowsing for?]
A: [Most people think of dowsing as looking for water or water
witching. But, I use dowsing when I am looking for information
such as a "yes" or "no" answer, percentages, numbers, etc.]
A: [I don't even use a tree twig when I look for water, so no it
does not need to be a willow trig or a peach tree twig. I use
a Y-rod made from nylon plastic with a copper tip. You don't
harm a tree and it last forever. I also use copper L-rods when
mapping out a water stream.]
Q: [What do you use a pendulum for?]
A: [Pendulums are used when I dowse using charts and when I map
dowse for water. Pendulums are used to get the "yes" and "no"
answers, for percentages, number, etc.]
