FRAMING YOUR DOWSING
QUESTIONS As previously mentioned, dowsing generally provides
us with "YES" or "NO" answers. Therefore, the questions
have to be carefully phrased to elicit these responses.
Instead of asking “What colours are in
the rainbow?”, you need to break the questions down in a
systematic way, thus:
Is blue one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is green one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is pink one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is white one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is yellow one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is orange one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is purple one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is violet one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is lavender one of the colours in the
rainbow?
Is indigo one of the colours in the rainbow?
Is navy (dark blue) one of the colours
in the rainbow?
Is red one of the colours in the rainbow?
So, you’ve probably had a variety of “YES”
and “NO” answers, if you’ve followed the example. Aside
from probably knowing the answers in this particular situation,
how would you know if you’d asked enough questions by now;
you could still be missing another three colours. One way
to check this would be:
“I want to know how many colours there
are in the rainbow.
Is there more than 1 colour…?
Are there more than 2 colours…?
You could ask systematically up the number
line, or you could perhaps now ask:
Are there more than 10 colours…? This
should produce a “NO” response. So now:
Are there more than 5 colours…? “YES”
This gives you somewhere between 6 and 10 as an answer.
Are there more than 7 colours…? “NO”
Are there more than 6 colours…? “YES”
This means the next question becomes “Are
there exactly 7 colours in the rainbow?” “YES”
It is always worthwhile to then double-check:
“Is it true that there are exactly 7 colours
in the rainbow?” “YES”
Now you can go back to your colour list
and check that you have exactly 7 colours. You might even
want to ask for a final confirmation:
“Is it true that RED, ORANGE, YELLOW,
GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET are all the colours in the rainbow?”
“YES”
SHADES OF GREY
There are few things in the world that
are entirely black and white, so you might like to know
that some dowsers do, in fact, programme their tools to
give a range of answers. Therefore, a fast, strong clockwise
swing of the pendulum could mean “DEFINITELY YES”, whereas
a slow, weak clockwise swing could mean “MAYBE YES”, with
similar anti-clockwise reactions giving “DEFINITELY NO”
and “MAYBE NO” for instance.
As you get to know your own dowsing abilities
and your tool, or tools of choice, you may well find that
you develop a range of responses that suit you. However,
it would probably be best to really focus on getting your
“YES” and “NO” established first.
