PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Judging by the wonderful feedback we received, our last meeting demonstrating hands-on dowsing was deemed very successful.

It was great to see everyone so animated, sharing their experiences with others, especially after having a go at something new.

There was so much interest in his map dowsing, that Fred Ward, our Vice-President has offered to speak on the subject at our next meeting. Please bring your rods or pendulums as he will get us all involved.

I encourage you to talk to any one of our Committee members to let us know what your particular interests in dowsing are, what you’d like to learn more about and perhaps tell us about someone you feel would be a great speaker to invite for one of our future meetings.

Happily we’re constantly welcoming new members and we’re keen to cater for all the different levels of understanding to meet everyone’s needs. Sometimes there will be repetition of ideas you’re already familiar with, but they say that repetition is the key to perfecting something – and that information may be completely new to someone else in attendance.

We have plans in the pipeline for one or more Field Trips to demonstrate how to dowse a house. If you’d like to participate please put your details on the form to be provided at our next meeting and we’ll keep you posted.

We hope to see you on 29th

August.

Lyn Wood, President

OUR NEXT MEETING

Fred Ward, DSV Vice-President

In keeping with his usual wit, Fred has titled his presentation, "A general approach to Map Dowsing using a contrived Hay Stack in a contrived Open Paddock to find a Contrived needle." He suggests that while you mightn’t find the needle in the haystack, you will certainly find the stack itself and of course the paddock where it’s located. Don’t miss his presentation!!

Map dowsing requires a map or an aerial photograph of a site, or a sketch of an area, a particular property or perhaps house or building plan. You can use a pendulum or rods to find what you’re seeking.

Map dowsing has many diverse applications, with people using it to help solve crimes, dowse for water, find buried treasure, check out earthquake faults and so on.

Whether or not Fred reveals his secret to finding the proverbial needle, his presentation is sure to entertain and encourage you to try your own spot of map dowsing. Not to be missed at our next meeting.

OUR LAST MEETING

At our last meeting we showcased some of the many ways that dowsing can be used.

Tony Hill - visual demonstrations using sound

Mary Ward - dowsing, healing & sound

The various demonstrations of dowsing, each lead by Committee member, showed the broad range of skills available within the DSV.

Alan Robison - dowsing for healing

Lyn Wood - dowsing checklists

Pauline Abbonizio – dowsing for freshness

GEMS AND THEIR AURAS

By Mick Moran, DSV Member - a regular contributor

One day while dowsing, my wife asked me something in regards to dowsing I couldn’t answer. Can you dowse the aura of gems? I said I had no idea but thought it would be easy to find out. With that I took a beautiful single pointed Lapis Lazuli pendant I often wear and placed it on the kitchen table in readiness for my dowsing. I stood back about 3 metres and slowly walked towards it with a dowsing rod in hand, concentrating on the aura of the Lapis. I was quite surprised when the rod swung while I was still 2 metres from it.

DOWSING PROJECTS

At the end of June I contacted everyone on the DSV email list to suggest getting involved with some hands-on dowsing to make some changes. Please join me to use your intent with your dowsing to help clean up our State’s violence and to also bring relief to those still so affected by the 2009 fires in Victoria.

THE WISDOM OF WATER

Extract from the book of this title by John Archer

John Archer

In one of his lectures Carl Jung told of a Taoist rainmaker who was sent for by the major of a drought-stricken Chinese village. He arrived carrying a small bag and asked only that an empty hut be made available to him and his meals delivered to the door so that he did not have to leave. After a week rain fell. When the rainmaker emerged from the hut, the mayor asked him what he had done. Was it magic, he wanted to know?

‘Not at all,’ replied the rainmaker. ‘What I did with my meditation was to bring the disparate energies of the place into a harmonic convergence. Once that was achieved rain could fall once more’.

John Archer was born in Toowoomba, Queensland. http://www.johnarcher.com.au
