Dowsing is a form of divination that uses tools like rods or pendulums to receive guidance or locate things that can’t be seen—such as underground water, lost objects, or even energy fields.

Types of dowsing:

  • Rod Dowsing: Holding two L-shaped rods that respond to energy movement
  • Pendulum Dowsing: Using a weight on a string to answer yes/no questions
  • Body Dowsing: Tuning into muscle responses or bodily sensations

While often associated with finding water, modern dowsers also use these methods for:

  • Energetic healing and chakra scanning
  • Making intuitive decisions
  • Tuning into unseen energies or entities

Dowsing works by amplifying subtle energetic signals your body already senses. It’s part intuition, part energy work—and with practice, it becomes more accurate and natural.
