CLAIRVOYANCE

1. What Does the Term Clairvoyance Mean and What Does It

Involve?

We predict the future all the time, but we usually, if not always, do it by taking into account our

experience, knowledge, and surroundings. Some predictions by psychics come true. So do some

predictions by non-psychics. No doubt much of our anticipation of the future is unconscious and second

nature, but it is based on quite natural and mundane abilities and not on mysterious or supernatural

powers.

Clairvoyance, a psychic ability to see things beyond the range of the power of vision, is often called the

“sixth sense.” Clairvoyance is the art of “seeing” with senses beyond the five we normally use. It is

usually associated with precognition or retrocognition. Clairvoyance is related to the images that are

always present in your mind that bring messages from other realms. These images can be shape, colors,

still, animated, remain on a few seconds, or last a longer time. You may “see” them with your eyes open

or closed.

The faculty of seeing into the future is called second sight if it is not induced by scrying, drugs, trance,

or other artificial means. The word clairvoyance means “clear-sighted,” or being able to see in the

invisible (to physical vision) worlds. It is a faculty latent in all and will eventually be possessed by every

human being in the course of his or her spiritual unfolding.

Although, inherently, each of us has this faculty, a persistent effort is required to unfold it in a positive

manner, and this seems to be a powerful deterrent. If it could be bought, many people would pay a high

price for it. Few people, however, seem willing to live the life that is required to awaken it. That

awakening comes only by patient, persistent effort. It cannot be purchased: there is no royal road to its

acquisition.

A Gallup poll indicates that belief in clairvoyance has increased from 26 percent to 32 percent over the

past decade. It is, undoubtedly, the element of prophecy that makes clairvoyance so fascinating to many

people. To be able to cheat time, so to speak, becomes almost a passion with some. Yet, such attempts to

glimpse into the future, when successful, bring dissatisfaction, unrest, a centering of attention upon

oneself, and a general loss of equilibrium; when unsuccessful, they are futile indeed.

The true clairvoyant power, on the other hand — which takes its beginnings in unselfish love — brings

with it no such unhappy results. It is a power used at will by the master of life; in us it feebly manifests

as flashes of intuition, hunches, warnings in dreams, and the like. A person who knows “instinctively,”

as we say, what to do in a crisis, when to act, and when to refrain from action, who can make swift

decisions, perhaps on momentous questions, that contain no flaw of judgment, who has a balanced sense

of values is merely exercising the clairvoyant power of “seeing straight.” Some people find it easy to

tune their frequencies in to the other side to “see.” Other people develop the skill with practice. Some

people can never master it. Some people become clairvoyant after a unique experience such as a Near-

Death Experience, ET Abduction, high fever, serious accident, blow to the head area, or opening of the

kundalini energies. Some people use chemical stimulants or hallucinogens to heighten their awareness.

This is something I do not advise as the information may not be accurate and physical side effects may

occur later on.

The very qualities such as discrimination and sound judgment, the natural attributes of the well-

developed individual, indicate that normal evolutionary growth leads us sanely, even if imperceptibly,

towards the acquiring of clairvoyant powers. The highly specialized powers of the adept, the normal

higher human faculties, developed, refined, and expanded to a universal scope, must always rest on such

secure foundations of character.

Two Types of Clairvoyance

There are two types of clairvoyance. When an individual is able, at will, to see in and investigate the

inner worlds, and is the master of himself and what he is doing, he has developed positive, voluntary

clairvoyance. This type of clairvoyance is developed through pure, helpful living, and the individual

must be carefully trained in its use, in order that it may be completely effective and useful. When the

sights of the inner worlds are presented to an individual beyond his control, and he sees what is given to

him to see and can in no way control this sight, it is negative or involuntary clairvoyance. This type of

clairvoyance is dangerous, laying the individual open to possession by discarnate entities and, if

permitted to go far enough, presenting the possibility that his or her life, in this world and the next, will

quite literally not be his or her own.

Although both positive and negative clairvoyance exist, it is only with positive clairvoyance that an

individual can accurately see and investigate the inner worlds and advance himself along the

evolutionary path. Negative clairvoyance cannot be counted upon as a reliable tool of investigation, it

often brings about the highly undesirable situation of personal control from an outside source, and it can

cause evolutionary regression of the individual concerned.

The development of negative clairvoyance is much easier because it is merely a revival of the mirror-

like function possessed by man in the far past, by which the outside world was involuntarily reflected in

him. This function was afterward retained by inbreeding. With present-day media, this power is

intermittent, which explains why they can sometimes “see” and at other times, for no apparent reason,

fail utterly to do so.

Therefore, the aspirant must feel not a wish to gratify an idle curiosity, but a holy and unselfish desire to

help humanity. Until such a desire exists, no progress can be made in the attainment of positive

clairvoyance.

What It Involves

Opening inherent clairvoyant gifts has to do with DNA activation of encoded cellular memories,

activations of chakras, raising frequency, balancing energy bodies, self-esteem and the ability to trust in

what is heard and seen, and the present emotional state (clearing issues that block/or influence the

information you get).

Expand your knowledge base in all areas of 3D. If you haven’t studied a language, it sounds like

gibberish and its written symbols make no sense at all. The brain will have no way of interpreting the

language into something you can understand. With the archetypes seen in meditation, dreams, etc.,the

brain needs some sort of frame of reference in order to understand. Every reading is modified, and

markedly colored, by own powers of interpretation, partly governed by the degree of technical

knowledge concerning the character and partly by the level of mental and intuitional development. The

neophyte must comprehend what he or she sees in the Desire World. Being clairvoyant does not mean

that all truth is at once open to us and that we can “see all about” the higher worlds. The mere ability to

see does not give us universal knowledge of that which we see. It requires much study and application to

know about even that infinitesimal part of physical things that we handle in our daily lives. Hereditary

and evolutionary backgrounds affect nature of interpretation.

Once clairvoyant gifts are opened, it is like any other exercise; it gets easier and easier. Some people

mediate daily not for these messages but just to keep their sheath bodies in balance. They receive few

images; but like to relax and feel at peace. When clairvoyant, solid objects are seen both inside and out.

Space and solidity, as hindrances to observation, have ceased to exist.

In the Physical World, objects at least are dense, solid, and do not change in the twinkling of an eye. In

the Desire World, they change in the most erratic manner. This is a source of endless confusion to the

negative, involuntary clairvoyant, and even to the neophyte who enters under the guidance of a teacher.

The teaching the neophyte receives, however, soon brings him or her to a point where he or she can

perceive the Life that causes the change in Form and knows it for what it is, despite all possible and

puzzling changes.

Clairvoyants must first be trained before their observations are of any real value, and the more proficient

they become, the more modest they are about telling of what they see; and the more do they defer to the

versions of others, knowing how much there is to learn and realizing how little the single investigator

can grasp of all the details incident to his or her investigations.

This accounts for the varied versions of the higher worlds, which are often an argument against the

existence of these worlds. They contend that if these worlds exist, investigators must necessarily bring

back identical descriptions. However, each has his or her own peculiar way of looking at things and can

describe what he or she sees only from his or her particular point of view. The account he or she gives

may differ from those of others, yet all may be equally truthful from each individual observer’s

viewpoint.

Another important distinction to be made is that the power that enables one to perceive the objects in a

world is not identical with the power of entering that world and functioning there. The voluntary

clairvoyant, though able to distinguish the true from the false in the Desire World, is in practically the

same relation to it as a prisoner behind bars. He can see it but cannot participate. However, further

exercises given, furnish the aspirant with a vehicle in which he or she can function in the inner worlds in

a perfectly self-conscious manner.

Clairvoyance connects to the right side of the brain — the feminine, creative, and intuitive aspects. That

is why physical sensations may be felt on the left side of the body when working clairvoyantly.

Possession of such faculties does not indicate an unusual degree of spiritual development; nor is their

manifestation dependent upon purity and unselfishness of character. They are merely evidences that one

or more of the astral senses are partially able to act independent of their physical counterparts.

Every cell in our bodies is being affected by the raising frequencies of the planet. We are being activated

whether we want to be or not. Humanity is returning to an age of enlightenment in which we are all

activating and we see the truth of our reality. At that time, psychic abilities become our total experience

— the spiraling evolution of consciousness thought.

2. What Is Its History?

There have been reports of clairvoyance and clairvoyant abilities throughout history in most cultures.

Religious belief and custom have always profoundly affected the status of such powers, and their

development along lower or higher lines has run parallel with, and has been a fundamental part of, the

growth and influence of religion among the people. When the mysteries were still influencing the life of

ancient Greece, a high type of clairvoyant was used in the sacred oracles. The priestess on the tripod was

considered holy, and was cherished and protected from contamination of any sort. The temples of

Aesculapius in Greece; where the art of healing was developed, and the most remarkable cures were

performed; were a recognized part of the mysteries themselves.

Edgar D. Mitchell, in his book Psychic Exploration, cites many examples of precognition or

clairvoyance as being a part of recorded history. He states that cases of precognition go back to the

Greek civilization of 700 B.C. Battle strategies were decided by consulting the Delphic oracle. Proof

that precognition was used in 400 B.C. is seen in the military victory of the naval chief, Themistacles.

After consulting the Delphi oracle, he built 300 wooden ships and gained victory over the stronger and

larger Persian ships by guiding them in the Straits of Salamis.

Ancient Hindu religious texts list clairvoyance as one of the siddhis (an Indian term meaning skills) that

can be acquired through appropriate meditation and personal discipline. However, a large number of

accounts of clairvoyance are of the spontaneous variety among the general public. Many people report

cases of “knowing” in one form or another when a loved one has died or was in danger before receiving

notification through normal channels that such events have taken place.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, psychics were accused of practicing witchcraft and

were put to death by the Church.

Clairvoyance was a phenomenon reported to have been observed in the behavior of somnambulists,

people who were mesmerized and in a trance state (nowadays, equated with hypnosis, by most people)

in the time of Franz Anton Mesmer. The earliest recorded report of somnambulistic clairvoyance is

credited to Marquis de Puysegur, a follower of Mesmer. The incident took place in 1784 when he was

treating a local dull-witted peasant named Victor Race. During treatment, Victor would go into trance

and undergo a personality change, becoming fluent and articulate, and giving diagnosis and prescription

for his own disease as well as for those of other patients, and forgetting everything when he came out of

the trance state.

As late as 1837, spirits communicated the idea that spiritual communication would be a global

experience. The first investigative group was formed in 1851 and was called the New York Circle. This

group was formed to study the Fox sisters who had obtained information regarding a murder. The

murder was discovered and the information provided by the Fox sisters was verified as being correct.

However, the source of the Fox sisters’ information remains a mystery.

The journal, Spirit World, says there were 100 mediums in New York and approximately 50 to 60

private spiritual circles in Philadelphia by the middle of 19th century. Spiritual movements existed in

England, France, Germany, and Italy. Clairvoyance was one of the aspects studied by members of the

Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Psychics of many descriptions have claimed clairvoyant ability.

The present cycle started with the rise of modern Spiritualism in the middle of last century. The

movement spread very fast, first through America and later to some of the European countries. By this

time, there had been a growing interest in cures affected by means of hypnotism. Combined with new

possibilities that these experiments suggested, the spiritualistic movement was welcomed as a new

revelation. Reputed clairvoyants developed into mediums, and “Spirit Circles” were formed in many

families.

By the last quarter of the 20th century, tremendous interest had been aroused in every sort of abnormal

power. As more and more people from various sections of society got attracted to it and media focused

attention on these groups, glamour had been cast over it.

Experimental research into clairvoyance has become more systematic. Perhaps the most well-known

studies of clairvoyance in recent times was the US government-funded remote-viewing project at

SRI/SAIC during the 1970s through the mid-1990s.

Results of some parapsychological studies suggest that clairvoyance does exist (though that

interpretation is disputed by critics). The studies also show that clairvoyance does not, in general,

require another person to send the information being received, i.e., it can, to some extent, be

distinguished from telepathy.

Documented evidence by responsible and authoritative people, whose past has been unfolded before

their eyes and who have been allowed a glimpse of the future, are seen in Psychic literature. They

include famous personalities such as Abraham Lincoln, President of the USA during the American civil

war, Lord Balfour, a former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of

Sherlock Holmes, and recently, the former President of the United States of America, Ronald Reagan,

and the First lady Nancy Reagan.

Throughout history, royalty, heads of state and politicians, as well as common people, have consulted a

variety of seers in an effort to be forewarned of events to come, to seek advice, and to find answers to

the problems that surround them. There have been some remarkable accounts of mishaps being avoided,

advice which eventuated in an accidental event, of unexpected changes in a person’s life coming to pass

and of changes in attitude leading to a more positive and beneficial outlook on life.

Similarities and Differences between Clairvoyance and Witchcraft, Telepathy, Telekinesis, and

Precognition Explained

Before explaining in detail what the differences and similarities between clairvoyance, witchcraft,

telepathy, telekinesis, and precognition are, let us see what they are, in a nutshell:

Clairvoyance: The ability to perceive and understand objects and events beyond the range of ordinary

perception, i.e., remote viewing.

Precognition: The ability to perceive and understand future events and states not yet experienced, i.e.,

seeing into the future.

Telekinesis (psychokinesis): The ability to influence objects by direct mental manipulation, i.e., to cause

the movement and manipulation of physical objects by the power of your mind.

Telepathy (mind-reading): The ability to directly transfer your thoughts into the minds of others and to

perceive the thoughts of others, i.e., the ability of perceiving and projecting thought.

Witchcraft: Witchcraft is a religion. It involves a system of belief and practice, and is, for many, a way

of life. It is the power and ability to draw energy from the earth, concentrate it, and sent it out into the

world.

The average person sees the world around them with only their physical eyes, but clairvoyance is a way

of perceiving things beyond the scope of the eyesight. For example, the clairvoyant inner vision may see

through walls, or witness events taking place at some distant location. Some psychics believe that

clairvoyance happens to people who are able to get out of the physical body and “see” by means of the

astral body. They shift their centre of consciousness outside of themselves. “Clairvoyant” is a word now

used to describe someone with second sight.

Telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition have in common the ability of conveying knowledge across

space or time. They are grouped together because in the fourth dimension, space–time is a field, and

spatial translations are the same as temporal translations. The mechanism is an impression on the

generalized preconscious that exists throughout space–time. Although all the 5 ESPs represent the power

of mind as the centre point, witchcraft is entirely different in theory, practice, and nature from the rest.

Clairvoyance and Telepathy

Telepathy, which is the transfer of thoughts, ideas, images or symbols from one mind to another,

perceives directly the thoughts and feelings that are present in another consciousness without the usual

intervening sensory precepts. It is a paranormal awareness that perceives another person’s experience.

Distances do not matter, as it can be a meter or it can be thousands of kilometers away. It may be

distinguished from clairvoyance, in that telepathy is in the form of a message whereas clairvoyance is in

the form of a vision. (It is a difference similar to that between radio and television.) Telepathy, from the

Greek word tele and pathos, literally means “empathy at a distance.”

Telepathy is a kind of intuition, a “direct knowledge of distant facts.” Telepathy produces full and clear

impressions in a way that clairvoyance does not. It is a swift process of knowing through being.

Clairvoyance involves imagery; telepathy does not.

It is different from telepathy because an actual vision is not necessarily an emotional transference

between organisms. When knowledge is reported of an outside event which is not known to anyone else,

such as the presence of a letter in a concealed drawer or a fire in an empty house, it has been called

“clairvoyance.”

The more general term extrasensory perception (generally shortened to ESP) is now very generally

adopted to cover both telepathy and clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance and Precognition

Precognition is the direct knowledge or perception of the future, obtained through extrasensory means.

Precognition is the most frequently reported of all extrasensory perception (ESP) experiences, occurring

most often (60 percent to 70 percent) in dreams.

Precognitive knowledge also may be induced through trance, channeling, mediumship, and divination.

Usually, the majority of precognitive experiences happen within a forty-eight-hour period prior to the

future event — most often it is within twenty-four hours. In rare cases, precognitive experiences occur

months, or even years, before the actual event takes place. Severe emotional shock seems to be a major

factor in precognition. By a ratio of four-to-one, most concern unhappy events, such as death and dying,

illness, accidents, and natural disasters. Intimacy is also a major factor — 80 to 85 percent of such

experiences involve a spouse, family member, or friend with whom the individual has close emotional

ties.

The ability to sense, see, and/or hear things that may happen in the future is called precognition.

However, in clairvoyance the person can see visions of things occurring in the present, the person may

experience foggy or clear “movies” of things that have happened in the past, or things that will happen

in the future. Clairvoyance is usually associated with precognition or retrocognition.

Clairvoyance and Telekinesis

Moving objects from one place to another without using physical contact is called telekinesis. The

reshaping of objects using the mind’s energies, such as bending a spoon, or key, by just holding it and

focusing is done by the power of Telekinesis. Telekinesis is created by higher levels of consciousness. It

cannot be created by “wishing it” to happen on the physical level. The energy to move or bend an object

is created by a person’s thoughts created by their subconscious mind. Energy levels must be very high.

The desire to move, break, or bend an object must exist in a level of thought we do not as yet have

control over, with the 10% of the brain humans presently use. However, a clairvoyant does not have the

power to move objects.

Clairvoyance and Witchcraft

It is not easy to draw a clear distinction between magic and witchcraft. Both are concerned with the

producing of effects beyond the natural powers of man by agencies other than the Divine. Witchcraft is a

religion. It involves a system of belief and practice and is, for many, a way of life. Witches cast spells.

Since a commonly held belief is that what is sent out is returned to the sender threefold, Witches tend to

be very careful with spells. A spell is a formula, or series of steps, to direct the will to a desired end.

Energy is drawn from the earth, concentrated, and sent out into the world. It is believed that with proper

training and intent, human minds and hearts are fully capable of performing all the magic and miracles

they are ever likely to need, through the use of natural psychic power.

Clairvoyance is not a religion. Witchcraft has much in common with magic, while clairvoyance has not.

The faculty of seeing into the future, which is the highlight feature of clairvoyance, is not there in

witchcraft. These two are not similar in nature. While witchcraft can be practiced with negative

intentions such as destruction, annihilation, and defeating the opponent, clairvoyance is not destructive

in nature and application.

Hundreds of years ago, one possessing the gift of clairvoyance was considered a witch, as unknown

knowledge was “feared.” Anything connected to “higher frequency” information was forbidden. The

similarities in the first four capabilities are that these depend on our ability to expand our mental

energies. Witchcraft, on the other hand, requires us to draw our energy from the earth. The capacity of

clairvoyance is latent in every one, and those in whom it already manifests itself are simply in that one

particular a little in advance of the rest of us.

3. What Could Be the Scientific Explanation of This Skill and What Kind of Analysis Has Been Done?

In clairvoyance we “see” with what is commonly called the “third eye.” A gland called the pineal gland,

located in the back area of the brain, resembles an eye. Originally the size of a ping pong ball, its present

size is comparable to a pea. Medical science knows little about this gland and calls it “the atrophied third

eye.” In some respects, it is literally an eyeball. It is round and has an opening on one portion. In that

opening is a lens for focusing light. It looks upward. It is hollow and it has color receptors.

Like our eyes that can look up to 90 degrees away from the direction they are set, the pineal gland can

also “look” as much as 90 degrees away from its set direction (up). Also, just as we cannot look out the

back of our heads, the pineal gland cannot look down.

Even in its shrunken size, the pineal gland has all the geometries and understandings of exactly how

reality was created. Most of us lost our memories during the fall. Without our memories, we started to

breathe differently. Pranic energy, which used to flow right through the center of the pineal gland and

circulate up and down our central tube, now changed route, and we started breathing through the nose

and mouth. As our breathing patterns changed, the prana bypassed the pineal gland and we gradually

forgot how to use it. This resulted in its degeneration and our seeing things in a totally different way,

through a different interpretation of the reality called polarity consciousness. The result of this polarity

consciousness has us thinking that we’re inside a body looking out, somehow separated from what’s out

there.

Nature retains nothing useless. Yet, in the brain are two small organs called the pituitary body and the

pineal gland neither of which are atrophying. This is very perplexing to scientists. All over the body, we

find organs which are either atrophying or developing. The pituitary body and the pineal gland belong to

still another class of organs, however, which are neither evolving nor degenerating, but are dormant.

In the far past, when man was in touch with the inner worlds, these organs were his means of ingress

thereto, and they will again serve that purpose at a later stage. They were connected with the involuntary

or sympathetic nervous system. Pictures presented themselves to man quite independently of his will.

At present, to regain contact with the inner worlds, it is necessary to establish the connection of the

pineal gland and the pituitary body with the cerebrospinal nervous system, and to reawaken the pituitary

body and the pineal gland. When that is accomplished, man will again possess the faculty of perception

in the higher worlds, but on a grander scale than it was in the distant past because it will be in

connection with the voluntary nervous system and therefore under the control of his will. Through this

inner perceptive faculty, all avenues of knowledge will be opened to him and he or she will have at his

or her service a means of acquiring information compared with which all other methods of investigation

are but child’s play.

The awakening of these organs can be accomplished by esoteric training. In majority, the greater part of

the sex force is expended through the creative organs for sense-gratification. When the aspirant to the

higher life curbs these excesses and devotes his or her attention to spiritual thoughts, the unused sex

force commences to ascend in stronger volume, traversing the heart, larynx, and the spinal cord, passing

directly between the pituitary body and the pineal gland toward the point at the root of the nose where

the Spirit has its seat.

However, no matter how great, this current must be cultivated before esoteric training can begin. Not

merely a necessary accompaniment, it is a prerequisite to self-conscious work in the inner worlds. When

the candidate has lived a moral life devoted to spiritual thought for a time sufficient to establish the

current of spiritual force, and is found worthy to receive esoteric instruction, certain exercises set the

pituitary body in vibration. This vibration causes the pituitary body to impinge upon and the nearest line

of force which, in turn, impinges upon the next line to it, and so the process continues until the force of

the vibration has been spent.

When these lines of force have been deflected sufficiently to reach the pineal gland, the gap between the

two organs has been bridged. This is the bridge between the World of Sense and the World of Desire.

From the time it is built, man becomes clairvoyant and able to direct his or her gaze where he or she

will. Solid objects are seen both inside and out. Space and solidity, as hindrances to observation, have

ceased to exist. Yet, different human beings vary in capacity of response to the very few vibrations

which are within reach of our physical senses. It is not a question of strength of vision or hearing, but of

extent of susceptibility.

If, with the means of a prism, a clear spectrum is thrown on a sheet of white paper, and a number of

people mark upon the paper the extreme limits of the spectrum as it appears to them, it is fairly certain

that their powers of vision are found to differ appreciably. Some will see the violet extending much

farther than the majority does; others will perhaps see rather less violet than most, while gaining a

corresponding extension of vision at the red end. Some few there will perhaps be who can see farther

than ordinary at both ends, and these will almost certainly be what we call sensitive people —

susceptible, in fact, to a great range of vibrations than are most men of the present day.

In hearing, the same difference can be tested by taking some sound which is just not too high to be

audible — on the very verge of audibility as it were — and discovering how many among a given

number of people are able to hear it. These examples clearly show that there is no hard-and-fast limit to

man’s power of response to etheric vibrations, but that some among us already have that power to a

wider extent than others; and it will even be found that the same man’s capacity varies on different

occasions.

It is not difficult for us to imagine that it might be possible for a man to develop this power, and thus in

time to learn to see much that is invisible to his fellow-men, and hear much that is inaudible to them,

since we know perfectly well that enormous numbers of these additional vibrations do exist, and are

simply, as it were, awaiting recognition.

4. Why Should Certain People Be More Sensitive Than Others?

During the epochs of our Earth’s history, all were naturally psychic. The pituitary body and the pineal

gland, two organs presently dormant in most people were, eons ago, connected with the involuntary

nervous system and invested man with involuntary clairvoyance. It was the looseness of the connection

between the vital body and the dense body that made them clairvoyant.

Since those times, the vital body has become much more firmly interwoven with the dense body in the

majority of people, but in all sensitives it is loose. A lax connection between vital and dense bodies

induces sensitivity to spiritual vibrations. That looseness constitutes the difference between the

clairvoyant and the ordinary person who is unconscious of all but the vibrations contacted by means of

the five senses.

All human beings have to pass through this period of close connection of the vehicles and experience the

consequent limitation of consciousness. They are the instruments with which voluntary clairvoyance,

under control of the cerebrospinal nervous system, will be attained as man progresses spiritually. The

man who consciously evolves his spiritual faculties controls the vibration of these organs by will, and

the power to “see” in the other worlds is constant, to be used at his discretion.

As far as the growth of so-called extra-sensory faculties is concerned, humanity is divided into two

general categories. Among the members of one category (the “ordinary” people engaged in material

pursuits and by and large out of touch with the spiritual worlds), the connection between dense and vital

bodies is close. In the other category, that of the so-called “sensitives,” the connection between the two

vehicles is loose. These “sensitives,” in turn, are also divided into two classes: voluntary clairvoyants,

positive and actuated by their own wills; and involuntary clairvoyants, negative and amenable to the will

of others.

Being highly sensitive comes with a number of gifts, as well as challenges. Sensitive souls are deeply

affected by all aspects of life. They have great emotional passion, intensity, and depth, and are easily

affected by the energy and emotions of others.

They have heightened perceptive skills and are intuitive, highly aware, and keenly observant of the

subtleties of environment, including energy, light, noise, smell, texture, and temperature. Their

perceptive skills operate in the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual realms. When they co-

relate things seen in complex and original concepts, they become visionaries. A sensitive soul is a

person of deep empathy and high intensity, with powerful intuition, awareness, and intelligence. They

have a uniquely perceptive sensory system and are more sensitive to emotions, energy, environmental

conditions such as lighting or sound, other people, excitement, and stress. As a result of these constant

stimuli, they get easily overwhelmed or unable to cope.

Being a “Sensitive” is both a gift and a responsibility. Sensitive Souls require supportive relationships

and help to tune into their own magnificent inner guidance system for a powerful means of support.

Connecting with like-minded souls is often deeply healing for sensitive persons.

There are, therefore, two classes of “Sensitive”: those who have not become firmly enmeshed in matter

and those who are in the vanguard of evolution. The latter are emerging from the acme of materiality

and are again divisible into two kinds: voluntary and involuntary.

When the connection between the vital body and the dense body of a man or woman is somewhat lax,

the individual will be sensitive to spiritual vibrations and, if positive, he or she will, BY HIS OR HER

OWN WILL, develop his or her spiritual faculties, live a spiritual life, and, in time, receive the teaching

necessary to become a trained clairvoyant and a master of his or her faculty at any and all times, free to

exercise it or not, as he or she pleases.

If a person has this slight laxity between the vital and dense bodies, and is of a negative temperament, he

or she is likely to become the prey of discarnate Spirits, as a medium. Ultimately, perhaps, we might not

only come to recognize the immanence of the divine in nature, but also to see it clearly in ourselves.

The voluntary clairvoyant develops his sensitivity, and learns to control his extrasensory abilities, as a

result of exercising his will in living a pure, spiritual life and devoting himself to selfless service to

others. When the connection between the vital and dense bodies has become so lax that part of the vital

body may be withdrawn, the positive clairvoyant may become a conscious Invisible Helper. He or she

can then function consciously in the Spiritual World and bring back a recollection of everything he or

she has done there, so that, for instance, when he or she leaves his or her body at night, he or she takes

up the life in the Invisible Worlds in a fully conscious manner as we do here when we wake up in the

morning after sleep and perform our worldly duties.

The case of the negative clairvoyant is entirely different. Because of the loose connection between

physical and vital bodies, it is sensitive to spiritual vibrations. Since he is of a negative temperament,

and retrogression is more readily accomplished than progression, he does not submit this sensitivity to

his own domination. Inasmuch as the negative faculty is exercised by means of the involuntary nervous

system, it is not under the control of the will and is, thus, sporadic in nature.

The involuntary clairvoyant has no control over what he sees or experiences in the other worlds. He is

aware only of what happens before him, and cannot use his power for investigative purposes.

When a person has this lax connection between the vital and the dense body and is of a negative

temperament, he becomes a trance or materializing medium, and, when this happens, it can truly be said

that his life is no longer his own. It is extremely harmful to any individual to permit himself to become

so negative that his or her vehicles and faculties can be taken over by a discarnate entity, which is what

occurs when a medium is “working.” The entity can exert his or her control over the individual to the

point where the individual can no longer exercise choice in any manner, but must live only as the entity

wishes him or her to live. This control can continue in the individual’s life after death, when his or her

desired body can be appropriated by the entity. It is extremely difficult to break away from the entity

once this has happened.

Although both positive and negative clairvoyance exist, it is only with positive clairvoyance that an

individual can accurately see and investigate the inner worlds and advance himself along the

evolutionary path. Negative clairvoyance cannot be counted upon as a reliable tool of investigation; it

often brings about the highly undesirable situation of personal control from an outside source, and can

cause evolutionary regression of the individual concerned.

Negative clairvoyance is, so to speak, more or less thrust upon a person. He has done nothing on his own

initiative to generate the ability to perceive in the other worlds and does not, at least initially, set out

purposely to do so. Some psychics, in fact, have publicly expressed the wish that they could cease to

encounter the — to them — disturbing and distracting phenomena which sporadically intrude upon their

consciousness.

Positive clairvoyance, on the other hand, is achieved solely after determined effort and persistence, both

in living the spiritual life of purity and service and in performing the requisite exercises. Once achieved,

it remains a permanent asset which the Ego retains in subsequent lifetimes — at least, as long as he

continues to conduct himself as an aspirant should. Negative clairvoyance, however, is a temporary

attribute, not secured from one lifetime to another. Thus, although it is much more difficult to develop

positive clairvoyance, this becomes, once attained, an enduring power of inestimable present and

potential value to the Ego.

To evolve voluntary clairvoyance is an arduous task; few, therefore, possess this faculty. Negative

clairvoyance, unfortunately, has been developed by many who have no idea of the potential dangers to

which they are exposing themselves.

Surely, if the trend of evolution, for an individual and for humanity as a whole, has to be developed, we

should strive to develop every constructive faculty we have in potential, including, particularly, the

superphysical ones. It is wise, however, to cultivate them along the lines most beneficial to powers of

service to God and man. Trained clairvoyance, on the other hand, is a highly effective instrument of

investigation and scientific study. Many spiritual Truths will be revealed through the use of this faculty

once it has become commonplace among mankind, as it is destined to be. Clairvoyance has the potential

to free people from spiritual blindness so that we are no longer condemned to repeat past mistakes, miss

new opportunities, or fall prey to seductive yet perilous illusions.

5. What Kinds of Supports Are Used in Clairvoyance? Please Explain Crystal Balls and Tarot Cards?

Clairvoyants use supports to help to direct their intuition, to clear up their vision, and to concentrate

mainly. The support becomes the instrument chosen by the practitioner. In many cases, the support takes

the place of the consultant by playing the role of catalyst. It activates and maintains the received

messages.

Immediate supports may include a photograph, a personal object, and/or the body (lines of the hand for

palmistry). The consultant in the case of direct clairvoyance can be considered as being the support.

They produce effects of clairvoyance by leaning only on what is in direct rapport with the person for

whom one works.

The directive supports can be crystal balls, mirrors, water, and/or fire. They provide the line to follow

during the clairvoyance séance.

Suggestive supports are tarots (tarologie), the cards (fortune-telling), wax or ink stains, hairpins, the

book (bibliomancy), the coffee marc, the egg, and the dream (oniromancie). They arouse ideas by the

sense of the symbols and ask for an interpretation. Calculable supports include astrology, numerology,

geomancy, and the I-Ching. They determine the clairvoyance by calculation and evaluation.

Supports communicators can be dowsing, spiritualism, and typology. They allow connections,

exchanges, and even messages.

Crystal balls help develop Spiritual Sight. They can be used to gaze into the future or peer into the past

to seek the answers to some of life’s perplexing problems. Scrying, or crystal gazing, helps to unfold

your natural soul ability of clairvoyance by encouraging psychic activity in your “Third-Eye” Chakra (or

soul-energy centre) located in the forehead of your spiritual self. For thousands of years, seers have used

a perfectly formed glass sphere or rock crystal ball to reflect their powerful clairvoyant visions.

Crystal Ball: The traditional choice for many experienced scryers, a crystal ball is often used as the

centerpiece for an altar. Historically, the reflective surface of a crystal ball, mirror, or a pool of dark

water has been used to enable the seeker to discern images that are thought to be responsive to a

question or to a given circumstance.

The use of crystal balls by most media often helps them to gain more access to their clairvoyant ability.

This activity of looking into the crystal ball and gaining more access is known as scrying.

When we think of the term crystal ball gazing, we may think of a gypsy lady, with long, painted

fingernails gazing into the crystal ball and telling us information about our future. Looking into the

depths of a crystal ball has been known to be able to leave the mind open to visions from the

supernatural world.

Some modern psychics today use the crystal ball to aid them in their meditations as well as a tool to see

the future. Visions often appear within the crystal ball. These visions may be seen as moving images or

still photographs.

It is also claimed that the act of staring into a crystal ball aids the relaxation of the mind, which would

give access to the natural psychic powers of the medium.

In everyday practice, the ball is used as a psychic link between the reader and the sitter, and the images

that appear are in the subconscious mind of the clairvoyant.

Tarot cards: According to Grillot de Givry, the tarot is one of the most wonderful human inventions.

Despite all the outcries of philosophers, this pack of pictures, in which destiny is reflected as in a mirror

with multiple facets, remains vital and exercises an irresistible attraction on imaginative minds. Critics

who speak in the name of an exact but uninteresting logic never succeed in abolishing its employment.

The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ago in northern Italy. Although the Tarot was

first used in a game called Triumphs, it was quickly adopted as a tool for divination, and popularized by

occult societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The early tarot symbolism was deeply

rooted in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Over the centuries, it has grown to incorporate everything

from Astrology and Kabala to Runes (which predate the Tarot by 1000 years) and the I-Ching (which

predates the Tarot by 2500 years). Today, the Tarot is one of the most popular tools for spiritual

introspection in the West. The cards are popular among occultists and New Agers in all walks of life.

The traditional tarot deck consists of two sets of cards. The first set consists of 22 pictures (the major

arcana), such as the Fool, the Devil, Temperance, the Hermit, the Sun, the Lovers, the Hanged Man, and

Death. The other set (the minor arcana) has 56 cards with kings (or lords), queens (or ladies), knights,

and knaves (pages or servants) of sticks (or wands, cudgels, or batons), swords, cups, and coins.

Tarot cards are usually read by a fortune-teller, though in the modern times, anyone can buy a deck with

instructions on how to discover your real self and actualize your true potential.

There is a romantic irresistibility to the idea of shuffling the cards and casting one’s fate, to having one’s

life laid out and explained by strangers who have the gift of clairvoyance, to gamble on the future, and

so on. Centuries of scientific advancement and learning have not diminished the popularity of occult

guidance systems like the tarot, Ouija boards, astrology, the I-Ching, palmistry, iridology, reflexology,

ink blots, graphology, anagrams, crystal balls, tea leaves, and the like.

Generally, the readings use either the 78-card Tarot pack or the 52 traditional playing cards. In either

case, each of the cards has a range of meanings and associated symbols, and the way the cards appear in

the layout set clairvoyant images racing through the reader’s mind. Although there are some basic

principles involved, in practice each reader will have his own methods and understanding of the cards.

Take one Tarot card round to six different Tarot readers and you’ll probably get different answers as to

its meaning. This type of card reading is actually very effective as it allows for a great deal of flexibility.

The word clairvoyance means “clear-seeing”; but this is exactly what it is not. There are, as said, many

grades of astral substance, each of which is familiar to a certain type of “seer,” but as a rule it is the

lower regions of the astral light that the clairvoyant contacts, a realm where all is a welter of confusion.

Even here, their vision is limited; they see only into one or more subplanes, and their pictures are

therefore partial and scrappy. Supports help provide them with clearer vision. The capacity of

clairvoyance lies latent in everyone, and those in whom it already manifests itself are simply, in that

respect, a little in advance of the rest of us.

6. How Does Synchronicity Play a Part in Psychic Phenomenon?

Meaningful coincidences are known as synchronicities. Psychologist Carl Jung believed that the

traditional notions of causality were incapable of explaining some of the more improbable forms of

coincidence. Where it is plain that no causal connection can be demonstrated between two events and

yet a meaningful relationship, nevertheless, exists between them, Jung called this operating principle

synchronicity.

In The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche, Jung describes how his research into the phenomenon of

the “collective unconscious” led to the observation of coincidences that were connected in such a

meaningful way that their occurrence seemed to defy the calculations of probability. He provided

numerous examples culled from his own psychiatric case studies — many now legendary. Synchronicity

is a phenomenon most people can readily understand because they have experienced it themselves.

When events in the material world clearly coincide with those of the dream world or history, it is

synchronicity. In the world of synchronicity, time does not seem to apply. Synchronicities are people,

places, or events that your soul attracts into your life — to help you evolve or to place emphasis on

something going on in your life.

The more “consciously aware” you become of how your soul creates, the higher your frequency goes

and the faster your soul manifests. Each day, your life will become filled with meaningful coincidences

— synchronicities — that you have attracted or created in the grid of your experiences in the physical.

A famous example of Synchronicity is:

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both their wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both were shot in the head in the presence of their wives.

The Secretary of each President warned them not to go to the theatre and Dallas, respectively.

Lincoln’s Secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both Presidents were assassinated by Southerners.

Both Presidents were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins:

Were known by their three names.

Have fifteen letters in their names.

Were murdered by men who pleaded insanity.

Were thought to be involved in a conspiracy.

John Wilkes Booth ran from the theatre and was captured in a warehouse.

Lee Harvey Oswald ran from a warehouse and was captured in a theatre.

There are no accidents — just synchronicity wheels commonly known as the gears of time or the wheels

of time, the wheel of karma. As seen above, not all synchronicities are positive. Sometimes these lead to

learning lessons — when you are deceived into thinking that it is the right road to take at that moment in

time. This is not always the case. If you are dysfunctional of dramatic inclinations, you will attract

dysfunctional people and events. There are two fundamental types of synchronicity:

1. One in which the compensatory activity of the archetype is experienced both inwardly and outwardly.

(The event seems to emerge from the subconscious with access to absolute knowledge, which cannot be

consciously known.)

2. One in which the compensatory activity of the archetype is experienced outwardly only. (These

convey to the ego a much-needed wholeness of the self’s perspective; they show one a new perspective)

At a point in time, you might feel that you have met someone who interests you and touches your soul.

Through synchronicity, that person seems to come into your life over and over again. You begin to feel a

destiny with that person. You begin to think with your heart instead of your head. You connect with that

person. In some cases, the karma between the two people is positive; but, in many cases, you have

attracted that person into your life for a learning lesson whether you are aware of it or not.

An event can be considered synchronistic when an inner experience such as a dream, vision, or other

form of déjà vu prepares you for the physical event. All synchronistic phenomena can be grouped under

three categories:

1. The coincidence of a psychic state in the observer with a simultaneous objective, external event that

corresponds to the psychic state or content where there is no evidence of a causal connection between

the psychic state and the external event, and where, considering the psychic relativity of space and time,

such a connection is not even conceivable.

2. The coincidence of a psychic state with a corresponding external event taking place outside the

observer’s field of perception, i.e., at a distance, and only verifiable afterward.

3. The coincidence of a psychic state with a corresponding, not yet existent, future event that is distant in

time and can likewise only be verified afterward.

Synchronicities often prefigure a profound transformation. A person who showed excessive rationality

and remained psychologically inaccessible might improve in demeanor once presented with a case of

synchronicity.

Jung believed that the phenomenon of synchronicity was primarily connected with psychic conditions.

Couplings of inner (subjective) and outer (objective) reality evolved through the influence of the

archetypes, patterns inherent in the human psyche and shared by all of mankind. These primordial

images comprise man’s collective unconscious, representing the dynamic source of all human

confrontation with death, conflict, love, sex, rebirth, and mystical experience. When an archetype is

activated by an emotionally charged event, other related events tend to draw near. Thus archetypes

become a doorway that gives us access to the experience of meaningful (and often, insightful)

coincidence.

Implicit in Jung’s concept of synchronicity is the belief in the ultimate “oneness” of the universe. Such

phenomenon betrays a “peculiar interdependence of objective elements among themselves as well as

with the subjective (psychic) states of the observer or observers.” Jung claimed to have found evidence

of this interdependence — not only in his psychiatric studies, but in his research of esoteric practices as

well.

The I-Ching, a Chinese method of divination, is regarded as the clearest expression of the synchronicity

principle. Similarly, Jung discovered that the synchronicity within the I-Ching also extended to

astrology.

In formulating his synchronicity principle, Jung was influenced to a profound degree by the “new”

physics of the twentieth century, which had begun to explore the possible role of consciousness in the

physical world. The belief suggested by quantum theory and by reports of synchronous events — that

matter and consciousness interpenetrate — is, of course, far from new.

Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective worlds.

Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the

compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly. Essential

Characteristics of the Synchronistic Event are:

1. The specific intrapsychic state of the subject defined as one of the following:

a. The unconscious content which, in accordance with the compensatory needs of the conscious

orientation, enters consciousness (something is in our conscious)

b. The conscious orientation of the subject around which the compensatory synchronistic activity centers

(something happens concerning what is in our mind)

2. An objective event corresponds with this intrapsychic state (may be literal or figurative

correspondence):

a. The objective event as a compensatory equivalent to the unconscious compensatory content

b. The objective event as the sole compensatory of the ego-consciousness

3. Even though the intrapsychic state and the objective event may be synchronous according to clock

time and spatially near to each other, the objective event may, contrary to this, be distant in time and/or

space in relation to the intrapsychic state (as in telepathy, clairvoyance, etc.)

4. The intrapsychic state and the objective event are not causally related to each other’s causality

5. The synchronistic event is meaningful (excludes some coincidence, but does not require the meaning

to be understood)

a. The intrapsychic state and the objective event as meaningful parallels

b. The numinous charge associated with the synchronistic experience (feeling of spiritual experience)

c. Import of the subjective-level interpretation (the content must reflect back on the issues of the

individual)

d. The archetypal level of meaning (transcends the individual and implies absolute knowledge)

Synchronicities can also go nowhere as they just occur to make a point. Always take into consideration

the bigger picture of the synchronicity — not the actual event. Look at the underlying facts when the

synchronicity occurs, to be sure you know why you attracted that situation into your life.

7. How Can One Test One’s Personal Capacity for This Skill?

Every person on this planet has, at least once, experienced information and knowledge that he or she

wouldn’t, or shouldn’t, normally know. Knowledge thus gained from a source outside the person’s

intellect is distinct from learned knowledge and experience. This insight comes directly from the

universal mind and from other people. If this feeling has never been experienced, it is because of

inattention or unrecognition. Just like hearing, feeling, seeing, smelling, and tasting, everyone has it. It is

our sixth sense.

Some signs of psychic ability:

1. Knowing who has called before attending the phone.

2. Knowing what is going to be said before the person speaks.

3. A sudden hunch that, later, is proven to be correct.

4. A sudden urge to go somewhere or do something and, when done, is later proved to be the best action.

When you ignore it, you end up regretting not trusting your own “intuition.”

5. The ability to read an individual’s inner feelings even though, on the outside, they are hiding them.

7. The feeling that there is a presence helping you.

8. When you understand the higher purpose behind a situation you find yourself in.

9. Hearing a soft inner voice tipping you off about happenings in your own life or in the life of someone

else.

Extrasensory perception describes a means of getting information from senses than the five that

everyone uses as their primary means. When people develop their ESP, they have increased their mind

power by a quantum leap over other people. It enables them to send and receive information almost at

will to influence things that are important to them.

Mind-reading, clairvoyance, and precognition are all perceived through mental telepathy. Mental

telepathy makes possible the “knowing” of past, future, or current events, which is not supposed to be

part of our knowledge. When someone demonstrates an ability to send and receive information that is

not part of their ordinary senses, it is placed in the realm of “extra” — almost as though it was bizarre or

abnormal, and not part of the human psyche or sense abilities. However, telepathic ability is available to

all those willing to practice and learn how to increase this talent that is given to everyone at birth.

A person’s psychic, ESP, telepathic, or mediumship abilities can’t be judged by a single or a group of

exercises. This ability develops through time and practice. Most of the world-renowned media, psychics,

and other mentalists, when first tested, had dismal results. The difference now evident is due to training,

exercises, and practice.

Another important factor is the mindset and attitude at the time of the test. Be certain of a good frame of

mind when your start. A bad emotional state, tension, obligation, or depression are not situations in

which you should test yourself for psychic ability. The test itself has no relationship to your other

psychic or intuitive abilities.

Practicing exercises increases the mind’s ability to send and receive information, and will be an asset.

Patience and persistence will gradually increase the perception of life. By developing the power of your

mind, you will have gained MIND CONTROL.

Psychics and mediums use extrasensory perception to know secret and private information about another

person’s life, and, so, are able to advise them. Some of them discovered at a young age itself that they

had this ability, and some later. However, improving and cultivating it through patience, practice, and

effort has lead to self-development.

The standard ESP Cards (sometimes called Zener Cards), used by the parapsychologist J.B. Rhine in his

classic studies of Extrasensory Perception, show five different symbols.

Some of the many tests are as follows:

The telepathy test allows two people to act as “sender” and “receiver.”

The clairvoyance test allows one person to attempt to guess hidden cards that have been randomly

selected.

The closed deck procedure simulates the shuffling of a deck and the drawing of cards one by one until

all have been selected. In this procedure, there will always be an equal number of targets showing each

symbol (e.g., a closed deck of 25 cards will have five of each symbol).

With the open deck procedure, a card is randomly selected from a full deck on every trial. This is similar

to a procedure in which the full deck of cards is shuffled and a card selected, and then returned to the

deck for another shuffling before the next card is selected. In this procedure, there will not necessarily

be an equal number of each target symbol.

The feedback procedure (clairvoyance test) shows you each target card after you have made your guess,

and keeps a running total of your hits. This, however, is not possible with a closed deck procedure. This

is because it would allow the counting of cards already drawn, thereby improving the chances of

guessing later cards. When using a telepathy test, the sender should call out the correct answers to the

receiver after each guess has been made.

With the blind procedure (clairvoyance test), the target card will not be shown after each trial nor the

result until the end of the run of cards. This procedure allows you to use either a closed or an open deck.

When using a telepathy test, the sender should NOT give the receiver any feedback until all guesses

have been made.

A standard run uses 25 cards. With only 25 cards, 10 hits (correct guesses) must be obtained to give a

significant result showing possible evidence of ESP. To improve the reliability of results, select a run of

at least 50 cards.

The lower the probability, the better. Conventionally, a probability of 0.05 (1 chance in 20) is taken as

showing a significant result. This means that only 1 person in 20 would be expected to do this well.

Probabilities of 0.01 (1 in 100), 0.001 (1 in 1000), or smaller offer stronger evidence of ESP.

The analysis also shows the score, taking into account possible target displacement. Some people claim

that their guesses correctly match the next target selected (+1 effect) rather than the target selected for

that trial. This may indicate evidence of precognition. If using the BLIND procedure, the score is also

calculated by comparing guesses with the previous target (-1 effect). Obviously, this cannot be done for

the FEEDBACK procedure, since the previous target is already known.

Each test covers a different aspect of mind control and telepathy. Done repeatedly and on a rotation

basis, using different symbols at different times, this helps to keep the person being tested from getting

bored. It is important to maintain enthusiasm and interest. When a person begins to get bored, his or her

score often goes down. Remember that the important thing is not how good the score is, but the practice,

which leads to telepathy and mind control.

The technique described is for a general evaluation of a person’s ability to guess cards with symbols on

them through telepathy and ESP. This test is not clinical evidence, but a general indicator regarding

one’s ability to guess cards in a deck. Any results learned here, whether great, dismal or average, do not

have bearing on a person’s psychic abilities. Those talents and abilities are separate, and need to be

measured or tested by themselves with other test procedures. The overall purpose is to develop your

overall ability to focus, which leads to greater mind power and telepathy.

The difference between a psychic, an intuitive, and a medium is that a psychic is one who tunes to a

higher source to get information that comes from outside the intellect. This information comes from the

universal mind through ESP. The intuitive knows things based upon an intellectual capacity that utilizes

logic, personal experience, and learned knowledge to arrive at certain conclusions about the facts. The

medium has the highly developed senses of both, plus the added mental tuning to another realm of

knowledge. The medium thus is able to connect with the world of deceased souls that are said to be

dead, but who, actually, are in a different reality than those who exist in the physical world.

Further Exercises to Develop Clairvoyance

For many people, clairvoyance comes naturally — especially for children. However, with training,

practice, and faith, anyone can learn to perform detailed and accurate readings. Clairvoyant abilities

enhance life; the need for spiritual insight and understanding has led people to explore ways of

developing their own intuition. A growing number of people are waking up to the levels of awareness

within themselves and are seeking validation for invaluable, empowering tools that can be used in

everyday life for guidance, healing, protection, manifestation, and creativity.

Clairvoyant ability helps access and decipher visual information through extrasensory means, i.e.,

without involving the eyes but the infinite universe beyond. When being clairvoyant, the same

mechanics of the brain that are active while dreaming or using the imagination are used. Clairvoyant

development helps you access a higher form of learning and information that could not possibly be

obtained through logical or physical means. Clairvoyance helps access creative energies and ideas that

greatly enhance artistic endeavors.

Without attempting something, it would be impossible to know that the ability existed, and that, with

training and practice, it could be developed. The path of clairvoyance is a path of personal

transformation, and it is like bringing a lantern into a dark, ancient cave. The innate psychic abilities we

are born with are overlooked as we become “conditioned” to see the world in mundane ways.

However, progress is hard to measure because of the elusive nature of psychic phenomena. As there are

no guarantees of success, the frustration level can be high. However, the key to success is to not give up.

Set aside time to practice. Calm the mind and relax. Concentration is an ability that must develop in and

of it. When it becomes an integral part of daily experience, the ability to charge and renew spiritual

energy system at any time and situation is gained.

The next most important, yet most misunderstood, metaphysical process is to clear the psyche. A

blocked psyche takes energy away from the individual and prevents the raising of the consciousness. It

sets limits on an individual’s perspective by making it linear and stops spiritual growth. Without growth,

a psychic cannot achieve enlightenment. Clearing the psyche is removing karma — changing negative

thought patterns and achieving spiritual lessons that will help you become a better and “purer” psychic.

The first step in clearing the psyche is acknowledging the existence of a karmic issue or negative trait.

Once you have defined the issue, acknowledge it by giving it form, and then forgive. Either forgive

yourself for having those perceptions, or forgive those individuals or issues you think played a part in it,

or both. Move the ego aside and allow the divine forces to work through you and with you. Allowing

your own ego to get the best of you will eventually work against your abilities and, sometimes, your

physical body. Only after forgiving can you release the past. By releasing the issue, you are “taking the

power” out of it so that there’s nothing there to hold you back. As you work on the issues in your life

that stop you from treading the enlightened path, you can begin developing your gifts. Once the

acknowledgement, forgiveness, and “letting go” are achieved, then the “pure” psychic and/or channel

can emerge.

Ten beginner exercises that help to unlock spiritual gifts and harness the energy of the spirit are:

1. When the telephone rings, pause. Before doing anything, try to visualize the person calling. Before

answering the doorbell, try to guess who it will be. Accuracy in intuition and precognition will improve

dramatically through practice.

2. At a queue, visualize the teller who will serve you. This exercise is done to develop intuition and the

ability to psychically connect with others who are in close proximity.

3. At sporting events, guess the outcome before the event begins. To develop this skill, expand to

predicting more statistics such as scores.

4. Practice at a dice roll by calling “even” or “odd” before the dice is thrown; your accuracy will

increase with practice. Expand to call the number the dice will land on.

5. With a friend and a deck of playing cards, begin by predicting black or red. When accuracy is 80% or

greater, expand to predict the suit, and, later, the number or face of the card as well.

6. When in an elevator, if another passenger joins you, guess the button that they’ll press.

7. First thing in the morning, write down the names of those you will have important interactions with

that day. Instead of relying on logic, clear the mind and allow faces or names to come to you naturally.

Doing this regularly will improve your accuracy.

8. Guess another’s intentions. This exercise helps you improve your intuition concerning the intentions,

preferences, and actions of others, and it can lead to developing telepathy and empathy.

9. Before a meeting or appointment, guess the color of clothing the other person will be wearing before

you meet. This improves your clairvoyant abilities and develops remote-viewing skills as well. Or, see if

you can guess the mood of the people you will meet today.

10. Among three friends of yours, ask a friend to lie to you (decided among them earlier). Write down

the name of the person you feel will lie to you. After asking the question and listening to their reply,

show them the paper. This helps you develop intuition and precognition, and can lead to developing

telepathy. This skill is especially valuable in life; the ability to recognize deception, and even predict it,

can make your life, and the lives of many others, much smoother.

Clairvoyant reading is a form of meditation. It forces you to concentrate because the second that your

attention wanders, you will lose access to information. It relaxes you and puts you in a completely

different frame of mind and emotional state. It helps in processing energy, break patterns, and

programming, and heals wounds for yourself and others more easily. Reading other people helps you

gain insights into your own situation because you will be drawn to read people who are mirrors for

yourself.

Using the meditation tools of grounding and running energy, meditation can be used to focus creative

life-force energy. Problem-solving, differentiating the truth from the lies, practicing affirmations, calling

back energy from the past to create the future are reasons to make meditation a part of daily lifestyle.

Learning about the spiritual energy system will stimulate awareness and growth of the aura, charkas, and

energy channels, and help us facilitate change within it. Working with a spiritual healing guide will

teach a great deal on how to be aware of and how to communicate with spirit. By developing

clairvoyance, personal power, i.e., power over oneself, can be accessed.

The first weeks should be spent learning simple and effective meditation techniques that develop

intuitive awareness. ESP ability requires diligent practice. Meditation helps the physical conscious mind

connect with the higher or divine consciousness we all have inside ourselves. Through practice and

dedication, this “bridging” between our physical and divine selves opens the doors to a new spiritual

knowledge that has always existed, but one that we may not have been able to “tap” into.

Other practical ESP exercises for intermediates include:

Scanning: a couple of strangers must stand around 4 feet apart and face each other with their eyes

closed. After taking a moment to relax and ground, visualize the other as a ball of light or pure energy.

Scan the ball of light with the inner eye from top to bottom, or vice versa, and keep a note of words,

images, colors, thoughts, or, even, sensations in own body that come up during the scanning. Later, meet

up and describe how what the other experienced might fit in their lives at this time.

Predicting: As before, relax and ground yourself. Then project yourself into the next day, and write

down three happenings for the day. See yourself through your plans for tomorrow. Write your

“predictions” based on the information you received.

Online Tests: Work out online ESP tests in a quiet room. Try different tests at different times repeatedly.

Developing intuition raises IQ and helps you get more of what you want out of life. The techniques,

elements, or methods that are considered useful to develop clairvoyance are many. The most

sensationalized and most expensive is the stereotyped “crystal ball.” It is effective, as it allows the

clairvoyant to relax the eyes and enter into a state of meditation. Less expensive, yet effective,

techniques include a bowl filled with black ink or water with crystals at the bottom, tarot cards, runes,

and other divination tools. The form of clairvoyance thus initiated is primarily seen within the mind.

After months of meditation, practice and experimentation, it will be found that psychic powers improve

through experience. Keep a journal of the psychic experiences and results of online tests and exercises.

The sheer act of writing it down will reinforce the conscious–unconscious connection. An increasing

success rate will determine that chance and coincidence are no longer a factor. Reading books and

practicing lessons from a manual are good ways to learn, but only through the execution of what you

learn and the experiences you go through do you gain “wisdom.”

People who meditate on a regular basis report feeling the need to improve their attitudes or outlooks on

life. This could be one of the positive results of bridging the conscious and subconscious spiritual minds

together. All of this is important for maintaining a positive energy flow for psychic development. The

more positive your attitude is, the easier it is to make a connection to the positive forces around you.

There are numerous forms of meditation, such as Yoga, Tai Chi, mantra, gazing, and freeform; these are

the most common. No one way is better than another. What works for one person may not work for

another, so it is best for people to choose the type of meditation with which they feel most comfortable.

It takes effort and a willingness to listen. It also takes years! Years of practice and understanding each

experience as it happens will develop a strong and reliable psychic ability.

Improvise, experiment, and enjoy while doing all of this. The difficult road is the one where we try to

will ourselves into greater awareness. The easy path is one where we allow ourselves to play, and to

trust what we’re shown. Success is much easier to attain when relaxed. Disciplined use of the

clairvoyant ability will send you on a voyage through vast oceans of perceptions, experiences, and

opportunities that were previously nonexistent, or, at best, were mere shadows in your logical mind.

8. How Can We Increase Our Abilities in This Field?

Once convinced of the reality of the valuable and latent faculty of clairvoyance, the next step is to

develop it.

There are many methods by which it may be developed, but only one of these can be safely

recommended for general use. Some of the objectionable ways of inducing the clairvoyant state are: the

use of intoxicating drugs or the inhaling of stupefying fumes; whirling in a mad frenzy of religious

fervor until vertigo and insensibility supervene; and loathsome sacrifices and rites of black magic. These

methods induce negative clairvoyance — merely a revival of the mirror-like function possessed by man

in the far past, by which the outside world was involuntarily reflected in him. This power is intermittent

and unreliable.

Yet, a large number of learning clairvoyants adopt some plan of self-hypnotization until a condition of

semi-stupefaction is produced. However, these leave them in a passive condition, able to use higher

senses but with little choice in how to employ them, and undefended against any evil influences

encountered. Any power gained by these methods can, at best, be temporary.

All these methods are unequivocally condemned as unsafe for the practice of the layperson who is

simply experimenting vaguely in an unknown world. Even the method of obtaining clairvoyance by

regulating breath to Indian systems or allowing mesmerization by another is risky. The latter should

never be attempted other than under conditions of absolute trust between the magnetizer and the

magnetized, and a perfection of purity in mind and intention, such as seen among saints.

Experiments with the mesmeric trances are in vogue for it offers, among other things, a possibility of

proof of clairvoyance to the skeptic. Curative mesmerism, which is an effort made to relieve pain,

remove disease, or pour vitality through magnetic passes, without putting the patient into the trance state

at all, stands on an entirely different footing. Even the untrained mesmerizer, if he himself is in good

health and pure in intent, can cause no harm to the subject.

The ideal situation, however, would be not to attempt any kind of experimental investigation into the

abnormal until having read carefully everything that has been written on the subject, or, better still,

under the guidance of a qualified teacher.

There is no royal road to the acquisition of the knowledge of clairvoyance. Just as in the mists of

antiquity, a person must venture onto the slow and toilsome path of self-development. The very first step

is to make oneself all that one ought to be. The first and greatest necessity is to have utter purity of heart

and soul. For that, purify the mental, the astral and the physical; cast aside pet vices and physical

impurities; and cease to defile body with meat, alcohol or tobacco.

Until the aspirant has a holy and unselfish desire to help humanity, no progress can be made in the

attainment of positive clairvoyance. True clairvoyant power begins in unselfish love. A moral life

devoted to spiritual thought lived for a certain length of time is necessary to gain first-hand knowledge

of the super-physical realms and to enable the birth of a helper of humanity.

The absolutely safe way of developing clairvoyance is to enter with all one’s energy upon the path of

moral and mental evolution, at one stage of which this and other of the higher faculties will

spontaneously begin to show. When the spiritual current is established, it sets the pituitary body in

vibration. This vibration impinges upon, and slightly deflects, the nearest line of force which, in turn,

impinges upon the line next to it, and so on, and the process continues until the force of the vibration has

been spent.

When these lines of force have been deflected sufficiently to reach the pineal gland, the bridge between

the World of Sense and the World of Desire is built, and man becomes clairvoyant and able to direct his

or her gaze where he or she will.

Choose a certain time every day that can be relied on for quiet and no disturbance, preferably in the

daytime. Get the physical senses out of the way for the present. The ways of doing this are vast, and

broadly comprise of: methods by which they are forced out of the way by temporary violent

suppression, and the other methods, much slower, but infinitely surer, by which we ourselves gain

permanent control over them.

Another method in the classification of the methods of development of psychic powers is the worldly

and sublime method. Any results gained from the former will inhere only in the personality, and is

available only for this present physical life, while whatever is obtained by the latter process is gained by

the soul and is a permanent possession. For methods of the former class, little training is required: it is of

the vehicles only and, so, at the best it can affect only this present set of vehicles; whereas by the second

method it is the soul itself which is trained in the control of its vehicles, and, naturally, it can apply the

power and the knowledge thus gained to its new vehicles in the next life.

This first method is a purely intellectual one — the study of the Fourth Dimension of space. However,

the brain can be trained by persistent, gradual, and careful effort to feats originally beyond its reach, and

can be induced to understand and conceive the forms of a world it has never seen. Astral sight can be

developed by extending the power of receptivity until it includes the astral matter; i.e., by steadily

raising the capacity of the physical brain until it contains the possibility of grasping astral form, and thus

awakening the latent astral faculty proper.

The second method, of universal application, is not easy, but its practice is of the greatest use to man. Its

crowning advantage is that it leads a man to powers desired — but at a rate depending upon the degree

of his psychic development in other lives. It gives no guarantee of a certain result in a certain time; yet,

every step is an improvement, and though he works without winning astral sight in present life, he

would be mentally, morally, and physically the better for having tried. Meditation, then, is the one

practice advised by all religions alike that can harm no human being. From this, a very pure type of

clairvoyance is developed. In attaining success, meditation is merely one side of a general development.

It is prerequisite for a man who wishes to be a positive psychic, and to live a pure and altruistic life.

There is no difficulty in knowing what to do; the difficulty is in carrying out the directions that all

religions have given.

It can be divided into three successive steps: concentration, meditation, and contemplation.

The first step necessary towards the attainment of the higher clairvoyance is concentration — keep the

mind free from earthly thoughts and direct the whole force of the being towards the highest spiritual

ideal known. To gain such perfect control of thought is difficult, but when attained, it will be most

beneficial, and as the thought becomes more elevated and concentrated, new worlds open before sight. It

is preferable not to gaze on any fixed object; but to acquire such control over the mind so that you can

do with it what you will, fix it exactly where you want to hold it for as long a period as you choose.

If considered, it will be found that in a space of five minutes, the untrained mind wanders over various

topics of free will. The fact is that thought is force, and every exertion of it leaves an impression behind.

Thoughts may not be strong or especially pointed in any direction, but the forms they create are vaguely

floating and evanescent. While they last, they are capable of entering into any mind that happens to

come their way. Thus we find ourselves occupied with valueless thoughts that drift into the mind, unless

it is already occupied with something definite. In majority of cases, they drift out again, having made

only a trifling impression upon the brain.

The mind must be controlled as the first step of the true trained clairvoyance, for this is the instrument

used, and it must be at our command and fully under our control. Concentration is one of the hardest

things for an ordinary man to do. However, not being able to control the mind is dangerously similar to

mental paralysis. Concentration is possible when the interest is sufficiently keenly excited. Avoid using

symbols, as this is more likely to lead to self-hypnotization, which would lead to medium ship, and to

being the playground of forces that would have to be controlled.

When concentration has been attained through exertion of will, it is time for the next stage of effort.

Maintain abstraction from surroundings, and meditate the perception of a scene, panorama, or view of a

place. When the thought becomes more beneficial, elevated, and concentrated, new worlds open before

sight. When this has become an established habit with no possible interference or difficulty, and without

a single wandering thought venturing to intrude it, then you may turn to the third stage of our effort —

contemplation. Meditating, without thoughts continually going off at a tangent, is virtually impossible.

The only way to succeed is to decline to admit the possibility of failure.

Continue efforts till you rise higher, and in due course there will open before your astonished eyes a life

as much grander than the astral as it is than the physical.

This is a development that must take years. All the great Masters of Wisdom were once men at our own

level. Though this is development slow, whatever has been gained, whether little or much, is gained for

all eternity since it inheres in the soul which survives death. Whatever is gained is possessed in full

power and consciousness, and will always be at our command; for this is no mediumship, no feeble

intermittent trancequality, but the power of the developed and glorified life which is to be that of all

humanity some day.

Clairvoyance can be exhausting, especially to the beginner, as it is depletes the Vital force. However,

this energy is not lost but merely transferred to the symbol, preserved and slowly added into the ocean of

energies. This is possible only if the mind is steady, clear, and undisturbed, and the will powerful.

Success will not follow if in a state of anxiety, fear, indignation, trouble, or anticipation. Procure peace,

solitude, and leisure, and banish all disturbing influences. If uncomfortable seeing spirits, keep in mind

that they are not there to harm. More likely is the fact that they are attracted to the brightening and

expanding aura and abilities of the aspirant.

NEVER attempt these Magic Arts if there is any resentment in the mind, anger, or any evil passion. If

done, the greater will be the evil that will follow — for self.

A parent is in a special position, and has a natural duty incumbent upon him or her to train, guide, and

protect a child. Protect and lead, never “obsess” a child. Any attempt to dictate too closely a child’s

“thought life” may, while failing of success, yet warp aside from the truth what would otherwise pass

into a Good Path, through its own peculiar avenue.

Clairvoyance opens new worlds of study, new powers of usefulness, which is why most of us feel it

worthwhile; but it should be remembered that it is an unmixed blessing. However, this passes, for the

higher sight soon shows the overwhelming certainty that all things are for the eventual good of all.

However, the usage of this faculty for business is a degradation of it, and shows that its possessor got

hold of it before the moral side of his nature was developed. The amount of evil karma that is generated

through such an action is beyond belief.

An amusing fallacy is that the possession of clairvoyance destroys all privacy, and confers a limitless

ability to explore the secrets of others. Such an objection may possibly be well founded as regards the

very limited powers of the business clairvoyant; but for those who possess the faculty fully, this is

inconceivable. The same considerations that govern the actions of an honorable man upon the physical

plane are expected to apply upon the astral and mental planes also.

How different the world would be when humanity as a whole possesses the higher clairvoyance! All can

see a wider aspect of the truth; to labor, when all work will be joy because every man will be put only to

that which he can do best; to education, when the minds and hearts of the children are open to the

teacher who is trying to form their character; to religion, when there is no longer any possibility of

dispute as to its broad dogmas since the truth about the states after death, and the Great Law that governs

the world, will be patent to all eyes.

The possibilities that open before the mind are as glorious vistas stretching in all directions. These grand

faculties will not be possessed by all humanity until it has evolved to a far higher level in morality as

well as in wisdom, for increased power means increased responsibility.

9. How Can Clairvoyance Be Used?

The theoretical basis of clairvoyance is that there is more to life than that which can be seen.

Clairvoyance is the ability to obtain information without the use of ordinary knowledge. Russia has been

involved in the study of these phenomena to a much greater degree than the western countries. There are

various forms of clairvoyance that scientists have attempted to study in the real world and to replicate in

the laboratory.

Telepathy is the ability to receive another person’s thoughts without speaking, writing, or in any other

way communicating these thoughts.

Clairvoyance or Extrasensory Perception is the ability to foresee events, places, things at a distant

location or that have not yet occurred.

Dowsing, or using pendulum, is another form of obtaining information without the use of ordinary

senses.

Proscopy is the foretelling of future events and is also known as precognition.

PK is referred to as psychokinesis, or the ability to affect biological systems and machines without the

use of ordinary muscle movement.

All of these phenomena are occurrences that cannot be explained by traditional methods. Many

researchers believe that psychic information often comes to a person who is facing an impending threat

or loss. The nature of the loss has to be significant, such as suffered during divorce, death, or major

illness. This may be ability leftover from the earlier predatory instinct. Man, a member of nature,

previously lived in a predatory situation that required us to either hunt or be hunted. Similar senses that

allowed man to survive in the jungle are still at work today. In today’s jungle, we are required to hunt in

an age of communication where resources are controlled by those that write laws and legislate the use of

a limited pool of monies.

The very same set of skills that helped us run from danger is still at work to help us stay two steps ahead

of life-threatening situations. In the present job market, the employee may be terminated after years of

dedicated service. In face of this high change and risk, there is definite interest in psychic information.

People are once again threatened by loss of family; most marriages end in divorce and there exist

chances of loss of economic resources with mass layoffs. Though businesses are more open than ever to

using whatever techniques are necessary to give them the competitive edge, many still keep their use of

psychic investigation a secret for fear of potential ridicule to their corporate image. They do not use the

word psychic or clairvoyance but, rather, intuition. Intuition is now used to guide the planning and

development for many corporations. This is not to the exclusion of numbers and linear reasoning but

with the inclusion of intuitive psychic guidance so that a more complete or holistic view can be taken.

A paradigm shift in consciousness has become visible with the recognition by science and business of

unseen universes of thought, belief, expectation, and consciousness. Clairvoyance has met the market

places and is accepted as an additional tool to help survive a very threatening culture. Science, on a more

serious basis, is now studying the effect of PK energy on healing.

In the current age of communication, clairvoyance, PK, telepathy, and spiritual healing will continue to

grow in importance and inclusion with traditional forms of science and business.

However, what the psychic sees is not set in stone. It is, rather, a corridor of possibilities that exists if the

course of action that the people are on continues. If there is not some sort of intervention through

changing the body–mind, hypnosis, therapy, visualization, or prayer, then the outcomes remain as seen.

The purpose, however, of intuition is to know the outcomes of problems and situations in your life.

Being intuitive is helpful because one becomes aware of the true intentions of other people. The intuitive

person has, at all times, the ultimate upper hand because the other reveals self through the actions. No

matter what the words, the intuitive is able to see beyond the words to the real meaning behind the

actions. We cannot hide our true nature; that is why you must decide if your core loves or if you are a

user. The manipulator may gain a temporary advantage, but the real relationship that was possible

between the two is lost. Into the life of the manipulator will come someone that will take even more than

what was taken by him. It is merely the law of circulation at work. What can be controlled is what will

come back, whether it be gain or loss.

The use of clairvoyance in the future is vast. Psychic powers are being accepted in the mainstream and it

no longer has a negative connotation. Using the term “sensitive” is really a better fit. It removes the

stereotypes and opens peoples’ minds up to the possibilities.

Its use in various fields in the future is seen as follows:

In medicine, doctors will be skilled in hypnoanalysis, as well as in Holistic Faith Healing and

conventional medicine to better help people who come for aid. Though conventional diagnostic

instruments are used, swifter diagnosis is possible due to the clairvoyant use of human minds and human

intelligence. As both healers and patients accept positive thinking and clairvoyance in the holistic

healing process, healing will take place faster.

Psychiatrists can project into their patients’ dreams for better analysis of the problem to determine if

they are dealing with a purely psychological problem, or a biological problem such as an imbalance of

the brain chemistry or a brain tumor. They will also be able to use clairvoyance to mentally age regress

the patient in his absence and find the root of the problem.

In business, executives will use clairvoyance to make accurate business decisions and determine ahead

of time the needs of the public. Executives using their clairvoyant level will be able to maintain their

own good health by relieving stress and relaxing, and thus be more valuable to the company.

Governors of all nations will project into the future mentally to detect the needs of their people and be

prepared when those needs arise. Using their clairvoyance, these leaders can sense the sincerity of the

dealings they will be making, and also sense what future plans others have. Wars between nations will

cease because the element of surprise will be nil.

Law enforcement agencies will use their mental abilities to help in the capture of criminals, and crime

will come to a standstill as people with criminal tendencies will be identified and taught to function in

such a way that makes it unnecessary to engage in criminal activity to achieve what they desire.

There has been a lot of controversy in the past regarding the use of people with psychic abilities in

paranormal investigations. The argument made was that what a psychic feels, sees, or hears cannot be

proved, without a shadow of a doubt, through scientific methods. However, just like any other tool, there

is a right way and a wrong way to use them. It’s important to establish a set protocol in an investigative

group when using psychics.

Natural resources will be abundant as petroleum engineers and geologists will use clairvoyance to dowse

for minerals. Oil and minerals underground, and the depth, quantity, and quality of them, will be

detected and the numbers of misses or dry holes will be reduced. Archeologists, meteorologists, and

metallurgists will use clairvoyance in their specialties to gather information to improve the quality of

their work.

Astronomers will no longer have to launch spacecrafts to explore the universe, as it would be more

economical to use his clairvoyant power. For travel from one inhabited planet to another, we would be

able to leave the body behind and acquire a new one more suited for that environment. Civilizations that

reside at other dimensions than this and on other planets and satellites, and civilizations that cannot be

detected with our limited objective senses can be found by the clairvoyant astronomer.

Industrialists use clairvoyance to determine what to manufacture for future consumption. Stock market

specialists and investors use clairvoyance to sense the future needs of the population so as to make the

correct choice of stocks that will have the greatest demand. Financiers use clairvoyance to make the best

decisions on what projects to invest in: they are able to determine which potential projects will provide

the greatest service to humanity and thus help make this world a better place to live in, while earning

enough money for their own needs in the process.

Pilots and vehicle operators use clairvoyance to avoid accidents. When a person functions at his

clairvoyant level, not only does he strengthen his immune system but he also strengthens his intuitive

factor, which is a function of the right brain hemisphere. A person with a very strong intuitive factor will

subconsciously move, function, or act in a timely way to escape dangers.

Ranchers and farmers will be able to select proper breeds and proper seeds to use. They will be better

able to select the best of everything used in the production of food for the human race on this planet.

The very preservation of the individual is threatened and so telepathic communication is being sent and

received as a survival function of the species. The bonds that make life worth living being dissolved at

an accelerated pace, the individual becomes open to precognitive insights that help prepare him for

impending tragedy. What appears abnormal, or beyond the range of normal, is actually an intelligence

that helps preserve our existence. Clairvoyance and the forecasting powers that come with it are now

essentially a survival tool.

10. Will This Power Help Me to Discover My Future?

There have been innumerable instances in history where people have been privy to the future before it

physically manifested. The reliance upon precognition reaches back to ancient times, when prophets and

oracles were sought for their access to the future. The Greeks considered the future immutable. The

information gained at such awareness was more often accurate than inaccurate. Some declared such

revelations absolute; others said the future could be altered if people were willing to change certain

attitudes and behaviors.

Sometimes referred to as psychic vision, clairvoyance is the ability to see people, objects, scenes, words,

and symbols in the inner psychic eye. It is controlled by the 6th chakra, sometimes referred to as the 3rd

eye. The ability to visualize should not be confused with the ability to trust or validate that what we are

seeing. “Knowingness” is an ability of the 7th chakra. It is the ability to just know stuff. The 7th chakra

is located on the top, or the crown, of the head.

Precognition is the direct knowledge or perception of the future, obtained through extrasensory means.

Precognition, the most frequently reported of all extrasensory perception experiences, occurs most often

(60 percent to 70 percent) in dreams. It may also occur spontaneously in waking visions, auditory

hallucinations, flashing thoughts entering the mind, and the sense of “knowing.”

Usually, the majority of precognitive experiences happen within a forty-eight-hour period prior to the

future event — most often it is within twenty-four hours. In rare cases, precognitive experiences occur

months or even years before the actual event takes place. Severe emotional shock seems to be a major

factor in precognition. By a ratio of four-to-one, most concern unhappy events, such as death and dying,

illness, accidents, and natural disasters. Intimacy is also a major factor, 80 to 85 percent of such

experiences involve a spouse, family member, or friend with whom the individual has close emotional

ties. The remainder involves casual acquaintances and strangers, most of whom are victims in major

disasters such as airplane crashes or earthquakes.

The difference between precognition, premonition, and prophecy is that precognition generally involves

knowledge of a future event, while premonition involves the sense or feeling that something is going to

happen; while all prophecy is precognition, not all precognition is prophecy.

Free will, however, can change the perceived future, as seen in the many incidents of individuals saving

their lives and escaping disasters by changing their previously formed plans, based on precognitive

information. Psychical researchers estimate that one-third to one-half of all precognitive experiences

may provide useful information that can help avert disasters.

This apparent ability to alter the perceived future makes precognition difficult to understand. If

precognition is a glimpse of the true or real future, then the effects are witnessed before the causes.

Popular theory holds that precognition is a glimpse of a possible future that is based upon present

conditions and existing information, and which may be altered depending upon acts of free will. The

theory that the future can cause the past implies a phenomenon called “backward causality” or “retro-

causality.”

Despite the fact that it is difficult to understand precognition, it is the easiest form of extrasensory

perception to test in the laboratory. One peculiarity concerning precognition is that one rarely perceives

one’s own death; perhaps one explanation is that the trauma would be too severe for the ego to accept.

Some notable exceptions do exist: Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his own death six weeks before his

assassination. However, his dream was not of being shot and dying, but of being an observer after the

fact. He saw a long procession of mourners entering the White House. When he entered himself and

passed the coffin, he was shocked to find himself looking at his own body. American presidents John

Garfield and William McKinley experienced foreknowledge of their deaths.

Precognition is knowledge of the future obtained through ESP (extrasensory perception). This can occur

in dreams, as waking visions, thoughts, voices, or a sense of knowing something. This knowledge can be

acquired through divination, dreams, or channeling, or it can just occur spontaneously. Usually,

precognitive experiences happen shortly before the event, but they can also occur years ahead. Many of

these predict disasters, such as earthquakes or accidents. People normally have precognitive experiences

about themselves or about people close to them, but this is not always so.

Precognition tends to reveal things that might happen. Nothing is fixed and we have the power to change

the future. Sometimes a precognitive experience could be taken as a warning, giving us a chance to

change the course we are on, and, therefore, to avoid disasters. Premonition is from the Latin word for

“forewarn.” This is a warning that can avert future disaster if heeded. It is a form of precognition that

specifically deals with warnings. This is usually experienced as feelings of anxiety and concern that

have no obvious cause.

Prophecies can be connected with religious experiences. There are many examples of prophecies in the

Bible. They could be considered as divinely inspired precognitive experiences. They are spoken, and

generally concern serious events on a grand scale.

Predictions are announcements regarding a future event. These can be in the form of horoscopes, which

are based on the movement of the planets, or in the form of divination, such as a tarot card reading. In

ancient times, people used to go to oracles or temples to get advice. Priests would read animal bones or

entrails to predict future events. Predictions are similar to prophecies but do not have a religious

connection.

Precognitive dreams are a prediction of future events, or they serve as warnings. Visions in dreams tend

to be symbolic and, therefore, need to be interpreted. Unusually vivid dreams or dreams provoking a

strong emotional response are usually psychic dreams.

J. W. Dunne, a British aviation engineer, noticed that he was having precognitive dreams. He started

studying his dreams with a view to investigating precognition and published a book containing his

findings in 1927. J. B. Rhine, the forefather of parapsychology, and his wife continued researching into

precognition. They used ESP cards to test their subjects.

The ways most people use to access information about the future are prophesying — to predict in

advance, depending on the interpretation of subtle impressions and emotional promptings; precognition

— to know in advance, refering to futuristic knowledge suddenly known without prior prompting;

clairvoyance — seeing beyond sight, witnessing the future happen as if an observer to the event; and

clairaudience — hearing beyond sound, listening to messages about futuristic events.

Futuristic awareness is another phenomenon that can be defined as: pre-live in advance the ability to

fully live a given event or sequence of events in subjective reality before living the same episode in

objective reality. This is, usually, but not always, forgotten by the individual after it happens, only to be

remembered later when some “signal” triggers memory. Sensory-rich, future memory is so detailed as to

include movements, thoughts, smells, tastes, decisions, sights, and sounds of regular physical living. All

this is actually lived, and physically, emotionally, and sensorially experienced so thoroughly that there is

no way to distinguish it from present reality while in progress.

A full-blown picture of a person or scenes, objects, lights, words, colors, auras, thought forms, deceased

person, living friends, or etheric world intelligences, with a message or purpose, future events, ethic

realms, and in symbolic form is seen psychically to be interpreted by the psychic.

People throughout the universe have used and relied on the gift of clairvoyance. Most of their foreseeing

are often proved startlingly accurate; their talent can be activated at their own will, suggesting

themselves into a deep form of relaxation of mind and meditation to shed the restrictions of rational,

objective, materialistic thinking and to put you in touch with the deeper state of the psychic. If one’s

rational inhibitions are too tense or strong, light courses of alternate state of conscious or hypnosis are

necessary to enter into a semi-trance state that clears away the barriers that are repressing the intuitive,

paranormal areas.

Déjà vu differs in that it is past-oriented and refers to past lives, past dream states, and activities long

since said and done. Pre-living the future is different in that it concerns what has not occurred. It

addresses a future capable of unfolding in the present, of events yet to happen overlaying current

activity.

Prehappenings are previews that enable us to see what’s around the corner, and gain extra time to get

ready. Experiences have been described: practice sessions, learning opportunities, chances to experiment

with living, and even a window into the future. Future memory is claimed to reestablish a natural rhythm

to how lives progress, and reminds everyone to possess a keen awareness that each person and every

activity in life matters.

Children of the three-to-four age groups are almost entirely “future”-oriented, as they play with the

possibilities of what may soon be expected of them as they mature. Their futuristic rehearsals pave the

way for the “birth” of their imagination — a major step in brain development that enables youngsters to

establish the value of continuity and action/reaction.

Future memory phenomenon is not a psychic anomaly but a reliable signal that a person’s brain is

shifting in structure, chemistry, and function. Being able to live the future in advance, and remember

what one did, alleviates much of the stress and fear and worry about what unknown variables can cause.

This advanced preparation enables the human psyche to negotiate the demands of sudden change more

smoothly. The ability imparts an immense sense of confidence and peace in individuals, no matter what

age, and often leads to frequent flow states, whether internally experienced, or as an aspect to how one’s

life can “flow.”

The future memory phenomenon appears to be an aspect of higher brain development. As the higher

brain “switches on,” the higher mind emerges, bringing with it new sets of abilities and talents far richer

and more varied than what most of us have ever dealt with before.

Clairvoyants see possible choices that can be made in the path of life. The future isn’t fixed. Every

human being follows his own path during his life on Earth. This “path of life” is full of choices. The

energies of choices, decisions, and thoughts that have been do have influences in future. The present

road of time was created by the earlier choices made. People have the freedom to make choices — only

some influences are definitive.

Introduction – Radiesthesia: Your route to power and self-

discovery

Man, from the beginning, wanted power. Knowledge that gives power is the most wanted and feared.

Such knowledge is special, not known to all, and gives one the edge over others, control over matters

and more. It is for the same reason that even pharaohs and emperors have consulted seers and scholars to

maintain supremacy over lands and people. And it is for the same reason that radiesthesia was practiced

since the beginning of civilization.

What is radiesthesia? It is the power to connect with the subconscious and get knowledge so that you are

more in control over yourself and matters around you. It also gives you the knowledge to discover what

lies hidden and unknown, otherwise.

The best and the most important thing about radiesthesia is that this knowledge is not limited to any

particular group of people, like seers, kings, etc. It is available for everyone, for each one of us. All you

need is a radiesthesia pendulum. This can be made even from a piece of thread and a small finger ring.

Dowsing is the older term for radiesthesia-a term coined in the twentieth century. The general

impression about dowsing is related to the ancient practice of looking for water using a forked stick.

But, modern day dowsers ridicule such theories. In fact, dowsing applies to almost all areas of life,

including routine activities.

There are dowsing societies around the globe. A visit to dowsing conventions will show people from all

walks of life, nurses, teachers, professors, engineers, doctors, executives, etc. practicing radiesthesia for

themselves and to help others. What they have in common is an unselfish goal to enhance their lives and

serve anyone who genuinely needs their help.

There is no mystery here, neither any magic. Radiesthesia, in fact, is an ancient science and an art. Using

a dowsing or radiesthesia pendulum, you can perform wonders.

A very special gift of radiesthesia is finding solutions. There are times when we want to make a

decision, but it is difficult to select the right option. Asking questions and getting answers is an

advanced practice of radiesthesia. Here, instead of asking our conscious mind to make the decision, we

are taking help from the subconscious. You can ask questions not only for decision-making but also for

gaining knowledge or information

From saving precious relationships to augmenting your business, from choosing a life partner to

providing better parental care, from household maintenance to creating a beautiful back garden,

radiesthesia can be applied in many areas to achieve what you thought was impossible.

Here are some individual and general examples:

Len Locker, a retired Chief Engineer of the South West Electricity Board, is known for finding cable

faults without leaving his desk. He does that using a dowsing or radiesthesia pendulum. All his findings

have been correct.

Christina Nils had been searching for a gift for a week. The gift was purchased in advance and got

mislaid somewhere in the house. She tried dowsing and found the missing item immediately.

There are many anxious mothers who located and removed drugs and other harmful objects from their

children’s rooms.

Many people have used dowsing to find the best location for their dream house; and realized happiness

and peace there.

A number of gardening hobbyists have used dowsing to create beautiful gardens with healthy plant

growth.

Dowsing or radiesthesia has helped householders to clear their homes of harmful energies, locate

underground pipes and leakages, and solve various domestic issues.

Professional geologists could find the correct locations of water wells, and archaeological and other sites

with the help of radiesthesia or dowsing

The scope of radiesthesia is wide and varied. Locating water, metal and minerals are only some of its

many uses. Using a radioaesthetic instrument (pendulum, rod, etc.) missing people have been found.

The purpose of this article is not only to educate you about radiesthesia, but also to provide you with an

excellent source on how to practice it. The scientific principles behind this practice are explained. There

are details on how to avoid the commonly observed mistakes and errors in practicing.

A tip in advance is to familiarize with techniques of mind control.

Radiesthesia: Meaning of the term

The term ‘radiesthesia’ was coined in the twentieth century in the land where it has been most widely

used since the beginning, France. Abbe Alexis Bouley, a catholic priest and a famous dowser, gave this

new term to what was earlier referred to as dowsing. The term well defines the process of radiesthesia.

Radiesthesia is an amalgam of a Latin root word for ‘radiation’ (radius, which means ray) and a Greek

root word for ‘perception’ (aesthesis, which means perceive). The radioaesthetic instruments can

perceive the radiation coming from objects.

Every object in the universe, animate or inanimate, emits radiation, which can be measured, though not

in quantifiable terms normally used by us. But, the subconscious part of our brain can perceive these

energy vibrations. The dowsing instruments can sense the recognition signals given by the subconscious

mind and moves/vibrates to provide answers.

There are different types of radiesthesia instruments, like a pendulum, a forked stick, L rods, or a

bobber.

We are focusing more on the pendulum, since it is the widely used.

Radiesthesia: Uses and Users

Before you jump into the practice of radiesthesia, it is good to know more on its uses and practices

around the world. This will make you more aware about what you are going to do with your pendulum.

By knowing about the current practices and practitioners, you will be able to discern the scope and the

extent to which you can explore in this field.

Uses

Radiesthesia is used in a wide variety of areas. Here are examples of its practice in some areas as it

would be difficult to include all.

Business

EIS, a section of University of Texas at Austin, which develops, evaluates and provides tools and

infrastructure for information systems had used dowsing for their spring 2003 projects and in the

summer of 2003, for planning for fall 2003 and spring 2004 semesters. The purpose was to find their

areas of greatest need and to propose projects to meet those needs. As per their report, their efforts were

well received.

Selecting Houses

Anne Widdup, a member of the British Society of Dowsers, recommends dowsing to check geopathic

stress, a very beneficial process when selecting houses. She finds that some earth energies, including

geopathic stress, are associated with geomagnetic anomalies created by the presence of flowing

underground water, faults, fissures, etc., and these energies penetrate the floors and walls of buildings

and affect the inhabitants in different ways. Any location can be healthy, neutral or unhealthy for its

occupants. One can sense sometimes when the energies of a place are not suitable. It makes us feel sad

or apprehensive just by entering that location.

Dowsing to check negative energies help us choose the most suitable environment to live in.

Family Life

Chris Gozdzik of British Columbia has found radiesthesia beneficial for eliminating problems causing

stress in family life. He had been living peacefully in his house, an old building built in 1897, by having

dealt with any harmful energy lines. Suddenly, after new people moved in the house adjacent to theirs,

which had been uninhabited for years, his family experienced swinging moods, negative emotions and

lots of stress. He succeeded in solving the turmoil by dowsing, using a combination of large genesa

crystal and some sacred geometry symbols.

Christopher and Veronika Strong of Evesham, UK, have been dowsing for 25 years. They have helped

remove harmful energies not only from their home, but also from houses of other people who genuinely

wanted their help. Their method is to synchronize the house by changing the electromagnetic energy to a

harmonious frequency using an electrified crystal.

Food and Nutrition

Anneliese Hagemanns, an American, has been practicing radiesthesia since 1984. She believes and

through her practice proves that radiesthesia is beneficial to attain advanced levels of physical harmony.

Using dowsing, she finds out what foods to have and not to have in order to receive the right amount of

energy for survival. She explains how we can keep our immune system balanced by using dowsing for

dealing with any kind of bacteria or other harmful organisms.

Her book, Dowsing Divining: The Golden Key to Tapping Energies is an interesting read on this topic.

Relationships, Dates, Investments and Stocks

Gordon Banta, an experienced dowser of Swampscott, Massachusetts, who has successfully dowsed for

a number of things, including oil and water, says dowsing can be used not only to test for fresh and

healthy food or locate water and lost objects, but also in choosing relationships (life partners). And for

that matter, why not investments and stocks as they play an important role in managing one’s financial

life. One of the methods prescribed by him for choosing life partners, dates, roommates, etc. is

pendulum dowsing using photographs.

Gardening

Alanna Moore, founder of NSW Dowsing Society, a journalist, and writer, has been using radiesthesia

for gardening for more than eight years. She explains how dowsing is used to:

Provide solutions for soil sterility and salinity

Restore chemically poisoned soil and water outlets

Improve plant growth, etc.

Ms. Moore is known for ‘making a dead stick grow’ at times. Her book, Stone Age Framing: Eco-

Agriculture for the 21st Century describes how radioaesthetic techniques are used to increase levels of

rock minerals, organic matter and biological life in soil.

Helping Animals and Pets

Maggie Percy, who holds two degrees in biology and has experience working as a scientist, recommends

using radiesthesia to help animals. She can communicate with animals with the help of dowsing. She

explained this using a very good example, the scare of West Nile virus, when cases of vaccines were

promoted inappropriately. Dowsers could easily tell if their horses would be helped by the West Nile

virus vaccination, or harmed by it, or neither.

Since animals are more used to living by instinct and intuition than logical analysis, radiesthesia, being

an intuitive technique, is a good way to help animals.

Here are some of areas where dowsing can be used for animals:

Checking diet

Selecting time for breeding and in determining sex of unborn babies

Training animals

Finding lost animals, etc.

Other Areas

There are more than hundred other uses of radiesthesia. Have a look at this list to get a better idea:

For transportation and related problems

Radiesthesia can be used to:

Select a mechanic

Identify automobile problem

Choose the most suitable rental car company

Choose the most suitable car to buy

Locate where you parked your car

For communicating with one’s subconscious

Finding ways to enhance spiritual awareness and strengths

Knowing about past lives

Removing mental blocks

For Locating Underground ResourcesLocate wells, water pipes, sewer lines, underground streams, etc.

Divert water, for example, to a dry well or around a house/apartment

Analyze water problems, for example, check source and level of contamination

Check for water leaks

Locate underground electric lines, gas lines, telephone lines, fault lines, etc.

Locate buried mines and booby-traps

Find buried or hidden treasure

Locate oil or minerals

The lists above will surely help in forming a pretty good idea on the various areas in which radiesthesia

can be applied.

Let’s have a look at some of the prominent practitioners.

Users

Here’s a brief on some of the famous practitioners of radiesthesia over the ages. It is important to stress

that these persons were ordinary individuals who became well known because of their radiesthesia

practice.

Steve Herbert

Steve Herbert has been a dowser for fourteen years; dowsing water while he was a Peace Corps

volunteer in West Africa, and for the Partners of the Americas program in Central America and the

Caribbean. Since 1997, he has served for the Water for Humanity committee, an organization that funds

water well development around the world. He offers his services in the dowsing of water and geopathic

energies, both of which can be done remotely on a map, if necessary.

Mr. Herbert holds degrees in both geology and anthropology, and has traveled extensively throughout

the United States and the world. He has worked in the fields of welding and steel fabrication, mineral

and oil exploration, soil and concrete inspection, and environmental extension and chemistry.

Don Nolan

Don Nolan has 15 years experience as a dowser. He is the founder and past president of the Heart of

Wisconsin Dowsers. Mr. Nolan specializes in earth energy work, which is the elimination of harmful

noxious energies or geo-pathetic stress. He has expertise in locating electro-magnetic and other negative

energies that can be detrimental to one’s well-being. Don Nolan is also a consultant, instructor and

speaker.

Raymon Grace

Raymon Grace is a native of the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. He has been studying forms of

healing since 1973. Mr. Grace has treated hundreds of people from around the world for many different

illnesses, both physically and emotionally.

He has been invited to be a speaker at the World Convention for Silva International several times and

was named "Outstanding Silva Method Lecturer for the United States" twice. A teacher at the Ozark

Research Institute of Taught mind development, he gives lectures on self esteem and stress management

for social service agencies of five Virginia counties. These are only some of his accomplishments due to

his skills in and contribution to dowsing.

Arne Groth

Arne Groth is considered to be one of Sweden’s most well known dowsers due to his ability to deal with

new problems using his own sensitivity, intuition and scientific approach. He has written about

frequencies and earth-radiation.

Eric Dowsett

He is considered a pioneer in advanced methods of energy dowsing. Refining energetic clearing to its

most profound essence, he teaches how to achieve powerful results without the need for elaborate

ceremonies or the placement of objects in a space. He wrote a book The Moment That Matters.

Mr. Dowsett is also an educator.

Frank Jordan

Mr. Jordan, a rancher in eastern Oregon, has been an active dowser for over 50 years. He created the

Idaho Society of Dowsers. Frank Jordan was the society’s President for 6 years and Vice-President for 4

years. He is an active water, mineral and missing persons dowser, and had recently located a missing girl

in Reno, Nevada by tele-radiesthesia. He created the popular line of Super-Sensor Dowsing tools, which

he markets worldwide on his web site.

Dr. Barbara Mallory

Dr. Mallory is a registered member of the College of Psychologists of British Columbia and specializes

in energy dowsing, which she calls, "Energy Awareness". Since energy follows intention and carries

information, it's Barbara's belief that “Energy Awareness” is a potential, and perhaps, essential tool for

conscious evolution.

She holds professional memberships in the BC Psychological Association, the Canadian Society of

Clinical Hypnosis, the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP), and Psychologists

for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Her professional experience ranges from agency and hospital-

based psychological services to her current holistic private practice on Vancouver Island, Canada.

Verne Cameron

This American pendulist of the 20th century had a most interesting experience. During the Cold War in

the 1960's, he was invited by the government of South Africa to help them locate their country's

precious natural resources using his pendulum. He was denied a passport by the US government.

The reason is strangely amusing. A few years earlier, Mr. Cameron was invited by the US Navy to test

his ability of dowsing. He performed map dowsing or tele-radiesthesia and located correctly every

submarine in the Navy's fleet. The US Navy officials were shocked when he could locate not only every

US submarine, but also every Russian submarine in the world. As a result, the CIA determined that

Verne Cameron was a risk to national security, and he was forbidden to leave the United States.

Dr. Khalil Messiha

Dr. Khalil Messiha (1924-1998) was an Egyptian physician and dowser who practiced radiesthesia in

scientific healing. He used to dowse remedies for his patients to give the most effective treatment

without any side effects. Usually, traditional physicians need to conduct several tests for diagnosing

certain complex illness, and in a number of cases, the results of such test can be got only after days.

Using medical radiesthesia, Dr. Messiha could define the beginning point for analysis. Through this,

more number of people can be benefited, especially those living far away from the hospitals. Dr. Khalil

Messiha could analyze complex cases of patients who did not get a good diagnosis for years, in a very

short time. His method of diagnosis using radiesthesia succeeded in curing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,

an illness that many people in the world suffer without knowing its cause.

Institutions and Centers promoting and using radiesthesia

In France, the first society of radiesthesia was formed in the Inter War period between 1919 and 1939.

Many individuals had made radiesthesia their full time profession. The Association Francaise et

Internationale des Amis de la Radiesthesie was formed. The French dowsers’ national union even paid

annual dues to the French Ministry of Labor. Similarly, in USA, the American Society of Dowsers was

formed in 1958 in Danville.

There are dowsing societies in UK, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, Austria, Sweden, Italy, Kenya,

Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, the West Indies, Switzerland, and many other countries.

Dowsing organizations in Germany require that members serve a period of apprenticeship before they

can call themselves "dowsers." In India, the organization, Raj Yoga consists of divisions representing

applications of radiesthesia in different areas such as agriculture, engineering and healing. All these

signify that radiesthesia is no longer a remote subject. It is actively practiced and promoted both on

national and international levels in many countries.

Not everyone knows the fact that many major water pipeline services providers in France have

employed or used the services of a dowser to find easy and quick solutions. The Puget Sound Power and

Light Company in Washington State is said to have a dowser in its payroll. The Canadian Ministry of

Agriculture has also used radiesthesia for finding solutions. Evelyn Penrose, a renowned dowser, had

worked for British Columbia to locate oil and water resources. In Russia, Moscow State University and

the University of Leningrad have training schools in dowsing. Dowsers are employed by the Russian

and Chinese armed forces for providing certain type of military solutions, like locating enemy sites,

determining areas for advancing troops, etc.

Having formed an idea about the uses and users, it’s now time to know how to practice, which is

explained in the next section.

Radiesthesia: How to Get Started

The technical process is simple. What is most required is mind control. The famous fictional detective

Sherlock Holmes had said that pre-conceived notions and attempts to connect theories to facts lead one

away from truth.

That is the primary thing to learn in dowsing - stop assuming and willing to let the radiesthesia

pendulum reveal to you the answers.

Learning to practice radiesthesia can be compared to learning a musical instrument. A person possessing

an inborn talent may produce the correct notes and harmony immediately, while another who does not

have this natural aptitude may have to practice more to get the best results. As the old proverb goes,

practice makes a man perfect.

Consider your first attempt at radiesthesia as an experiment.

The aim is to learn to dowse.

What is the apparatus? It is comprised of your conscious mind, your subconscious mind, your body, and

the pendulum.

How to get a pendulum could be your question. Getting one is not a problem at all. You can make a

simple pendulum using a finger ring and a piece of fine thread, about 12-18 inches long. Since this

practice involves your inner self, using an object tuned to your energies is more suitable. For this reason,

a number of people use their wedding ring.

If you have bought a dowsing pendulum, it is necessary to tune it to your energies. Carry it with you for

a couple of days, get a feel of it, and take care that it is not exposed to sunlight or devices radiating

electric energy. Keep your pendulum covered in a clean velvet or silk cloth.

As soon as you have a pendulum tuned to your energies, you need to select an appropriate place to

practice. Find a quiet place. It should not be brightly lit and should be away from electrical equipments

like television, room heater, etc. You should feel at ease in this place. Your bed or kitchen table will also

do if it meets the above requirements.

Here is a very simple method to start with.

Step 1

The first step involves your own self. You should be calm, relaxed, your mind empty of notions, desires

and negative thoughts.

A key point to note is that your mind plays a very important role in this practice. So mind control and

concentration on inner thoughts is the first step. To aid this, take a deep breath, hold it for 2-3 seconds

and release it slowly. Repeat this a few times till you have shaken away the cobwebs, if any, from your

mind. Another option is to listen to music that frees your mind and lets you unwind before commencing

the practice.

Step 2

Now it is time to connect to your subconscious. There is no need to worry. There is nothing paranormal

here. Connecting to your subconscious and meditating on your inner energies is the same. This position

is what dowsers, normally, call the alpha state.

Step 3

Take your pendulum. Hold the fine thread or chain of your pendulum between the thumb and first

finger. Hold your hand comfortably at about shoulder height so that the ring or the weight at the end

hangs down freely.

Let us concentrate on pendulum movements.

Remember: Do Not Consciously Force Any Particular Movement.

Simple ask questions to the pendulum, concentrating on your inner energies rather than on the

pendulum, and watch its movements.

Movement 1

In a quiet but normal voice, tell the pendulum to move vertically. Do not make it swing by moving your

hands. Your hands should be steady and relaxed. Very soon, the pendulum will start moving as directed,

at first slowly, then gaining speed. If it stops, start the process again. Once the pendulum starts moving

vertically again, let it for some moments and then tell it to stop. In the same manner, ask the pendulum

to move horizontally, diagonally, clockwise, anticlockwise, etc.

Movement 2

Find out the “yes” and “no” signs.

Think of a question to which you are sure the answer is affirmative. Now concentrate on your inner

energies and ask the pendulum this question. Note the movement of the pendulum - it could be vertical,

horizontal, clockwise or anti-clockwise. This would be your pendulum’s “yes” signal for you.

Now repeat the above process with a question to which the answer is negative. Again note the

movement of the pendulum. The pendulum should definitely show a different movement from above

(for the “yes” signal) and this would be your “no” sign.

Some people get their “yes” and “no” signs soon and some need to practice a bit more.

You can test by taking help of your friends. Ask your friend to put your keys in one of two places, for

example your bag or on the dining table and not to tell you the answer till you end the test. Ask the

pendulum if the specific keys are in the bag. Note the movement and check it with your friend.

Movement 3

For this process, you may again need the help of your friends. Ask a friend who is of the opposite gender

to hold out a hand and allow the pendulum to hang above it, without touching it. The pendulum will start

moving on its own. Note the movement. Now ask a friend who is of your gender to hold out a hand. The

pendulum again moves on its own, but the movement will be different from the above.

Generally, if the person is male, the pendulum moves back and forth, whereas if the person is female,

the pendulum moves in a circular or elliptical path. Even if it is not the same for you, you can repeat the

process with different people to confirm the “male” and “female” signs.

Movement 4

You can also install programs or set of agreements in your pendulum, though you need to ask

permission first.

Here’s an example.

For obtaining permission, ask the pendulum, “May I, Can I, Should I add dowsing agreements or

programs, which will be in effect until changed by me?”

If your pendulum gives a “yes” sign, read the following agreements, immediately.

"May I, Can I, Should I Agreements will become a working part of all my dowsing programs and be in

effect until I choose to change them. When I use “May I, Can I, Should I” in reference to dowsing

questions, it will mean as follows:

‘May I’ means: Do I have permission to proceed in this area?

‘Can I’ means: Do I have the capability to effectively dowse in this area?

‘Should I’ means: Considering all the matters related to this situation, would it be proper and appropriate

to dowse in this area? End of prearranged agreements, thank you."

To confirm the acceptance, ask, “Are the agreements acceptable, clear and non-contradictory, and open

to change upon my request?"

If your pendulum says “yes”, you can use the benefits of these agreements and do not have to repeat the

same every time you dowse.

Step 4

If you have been successful in all the steps and movements described till now, you can start with charts.

Draw a circle on a piece of paper and write down numbers 1-20 or 1-50 (as per your convenience) in

regular intervals around the circle. Practice with your pendulum everyday asking impersonal questions,

for example what is my age in years, what is my weight in kilograms, etc. Remember, the answers

should be in numbers, so frame questions accordingly. Practice everyday until you are confident that

your dowsing system is tuned in to you and is answering your questions correctly.

Step 5

To find some object, you need to concentrate on that object clearly. For example, if you want to find a

blockage in the drainpipe, walk along its course with the blockage in mind. The pendulum movements

will signal the area of blockage. You can confirm using the “yes” and “no” questions.

Observation and Analysis

What have you observed from your practice? Note down where you have been right and where there

have been confusions. Yes, there are chances of confusion in the beginning, but there is no need to be

disheartened about it. That is the way with most of the learning processes. For example, when a person

learns to cycle, he/she might not have all the success the first day itself, even for a week, sometimes.

But, once his/her abilities develop, the going gets smooth. It is the same with learning music.

There is no way a time can be fixed in which a person is guaranteed to learn dowsing.

There is no conclusion in this practice. No one can say that you can or cannot dowse. Everybody can.

The results are a mix of your latent abilities to concentrate on your inner energies, your subconscious.

The pendulum operates on the basis of this link and communication.

If you are getting accurate results in all the above experiments, you can surely try advanced levels. If

you are not able to get the desired levels of accuracy, check the section on what to avoid in radiesthesia.

There are some don’ts in radiesthesia. It is very important that you avoid these pitfalls. Have a look at

them, and you will soon discover how easy it is fall in them and get unsuccessful dowsing results. They

are discussed after the next section.

Advanced Level Practices

In this section, some advanced practices of radiesthesia are described. These practices are not called so

because they are more complex. There is not much difference in the technical processes. These practices

require an advanced state of connectivity with the subconscious. One way of gaining it is to repeat the

basic radiesthesia practices till you get right answers at least seven to eight times out of ten.

Another important requirement for practicing advanced methods is getting a better understanding of

pendulum movements. To elaborate, if you concentrate on a certain object, then the pendulum, which

was motionless earlier, will start vibrating in a certain manner, clockwise, anticlockwise, diagonal, etc,

This movement identifies that object. You can test this process with any animate or inanimate object

several times, though not continuously. The vibrations the pendulum gives for that object will remain

the same every time you concentrate on it. For example, if you concentrate on pure milk for a few

minutes and then hold your pendulum and continue concentrating on milk, you will find that the

pendulum starts vibrating in a certain manner. Note the movement and repeat this process several times.

You will find that the pendulum moves in a certain specific manner whenever you think of pure milk.

Asking Questions

One of the greatest advantages of radiesthesia is getting answers from the subconscious…answers that

will help you make better decisions. An important point to bear in mind is to avoid emotional issues and

questions related to your future. The questions should be related to physical realities. Many times, we

are confused as to which option out of available ones is best for us; this is one area where radiesthesia

can be employed to select the best option to enjoy maximum benefits.

There are different methods by which you can ask questions and get answers. Here are some of them:

Using Charts

By writing down the questions on separate pieces of paper

Using a piece of paper for stating different options

Think of a question.

For example, you need to buy a car for your family and you have four models to choose from. You are

confused as to which model will suit your family needs best. For coherency, write down all your

family’s requirements related to having a car, in a piece of paper and think of all the ways a car can

bring you satisfaction. Concentrate on it for a few minutes.

Method I

Take a plain piece of clean, unused paper

Write down the name of models as four different options, at a fixed distance from each other

Place this paper before you

Phrase your question properly and ask the same clearly. For example, “Which model from these four is

best suitable and beneficial for my family?”

The pendulum will move towards the best option

Method II

Take four plain pieces of clean, unused paper.

Write down the name of models, one in each piece.

Place one before you.

Ask the appropriate question as to whether it is good for your family or not. For example, “Is this model

beneficial and best suitable for my family?”

Note the movement of the pendulum. Does it indicate “yes” or “no”?

Repeat the process with all the options. If you get more than one “yes”, repeat Method I with all the

“yes” options.

Missing Objects

If you misplaced something important in your house, the following radioaesthetic methods can be

employed to find it.

Method I

Draw a simple map of your house, including all the sections, even the corridors

Concentrate on the image of the misplaced object

Hold your pendulum over the map, pausing over each room and section, asking the pendulum if the

object is there or not

The pendulum will show a “yes” signal over the room in which the object is located

Draw another map, this time of the room including all its storage and open spaces, furniture, etc.

Hold the pendulum over the map of the room, pausing over each section, storage space, etc.

When the pendulum shows a “yes” signal, trace it.

Method II

This would need higher concentration and connectivity levels as in this method we are finding the object

without any aids such as maps.

Concentrate on the object for a few minutes. Its image should get clearer and clearer in your mind.

Hold the pendulum in your hand. It should be still.

Slowly ask the relevant questions. For example, “Is <<name of object>> in the dining hall of this

house?”

Wait for the pendulum to respond “yes” or “no”

When the pendulum gives positive response, you have the answer

Relationship

Generally, relationships are not something to be evaluated. They are bonds formed by our hearts. But,

there are many instances when you need help, for example, sometimes you need to know whether the

stranger you are befriending is in fact your friend or enemy, whether you have a good correlation with

the lady/gentleman you are dating or is the relationship only superficial, etc.

Method I (for checking compatibility)

Create a percentage chart.

Concentrate on the relevant person for a few minutes. The image of the person should become clearer

and clearer in your mind.

Hold the pendulum over the chart. It should be still.

Ask the relevant question. For example, “Please show me my compatibility levels in percentage with

<<name of person>>”

The pendulum will indicate the appropriate percentage levels in the chart.

Method II (with words and images)

Hold the pendulum over the photo of the relevant person or write his/her name on a blank paper.

Concentrate on the person, hold the pendulum over his/her image or name and ask the relevant question.

For example, “Should I have a <<specify relationship>> with <<name of person>>?” or “Should I stop

forming a <<specify relationship>> with <<name of person>>?”

Note whether the pendulum gives a “yes” or “no” movement.

Auras

Auras are electrical energy fields that come out from inanimate and animate objects. It is interesting to

check a person’s aura. Auras can reveal all aspects of the animate or inanimate object.

Choose an object.

Ask your friend to stand at a place already marked by you as ‘location A’. He/she should not be wearing

any precious gems or crystals. Place the object at a certain distance from this ‘location A’. When

practicing this method for the first time, it is preferable to place the object 1-3 meters away from

location A.

Ask the friend to concentrate on his/her aura for a few minutes. Then ask him/her to concentrate on the

object and visualize himself/herself with it, holding it. He/she should remain in this state for a few

minutes. You can avoid being present in the room or area at this time.

Enter the room or area. Hold your pendulum. It should be still. Now, walk to location A. The pendulum

will start vibrating.

Next, walk around the object, holding your pendulum above it. If your friend’s aura was projected

forward at this object, the pendulum will vibrate as it had vibrated at location A.

Water Veins

It would be a good idea to check water veins around your house. You can make a better decision on

whether to have a front, side or back garden. It is also helpful in fulfilling your water pumping needs.

This is a task for a well-practiced dowser.

Take a tumbler or other container of pure drinking water. Concentrate on pure water for a few minutes

and hold your pendulum over the water. The pendulum will vibrate in a certain manner. You can do this

even without the tumbler if you have gained excellent levels of concentration.

Walk all over the area where you want to check for water veins, all the time concentrating on pure

water.

If water veins are present, the pendulum will vibrate above that location. It will be vibrating faster

directly above the exact location where water lies underground. Note the movement. Was it similar to

the movement it showed when held over the tumbler of pure drinking water?

If yes, then pure drinking water is present in the location over which the pendulum vibrated. Verify by

asking the yes or no questions.

If the pendulum vibrates but in another manner, then there are all the chances that the water is not pure.

To master the practice of radiesthesia, connectivity with the subconscious is most important. This can be

achieved only through regular practice of mind control and of increasing concentration levels, and off

course, experiments in dowsing. It is a good idea to repeat experiments till you get maximum positive

responses.

Radiesthesia: What to strictly avoid - The Don’ts

To understand what matters/approaches to avoid in radiesthesia, you should also be clear on why to

avoid them. It is, normally, difficult for we, humans, to just follow instructions, unless we comprehend

the sense behind them. The same approach is followed in this chapter.

Here’s an example to give you a better understanding of the dowsing process. A businessman from

Spain can only communicate in Spanish, but he has to meet an English client who cannot speak Spanish.

So he takes the help of an interpreter. If you view these three people talking from a distance, the

interpreter will be seen talking to both, the Spanish businessman, and his English client. But, in reality,

he is not the one talking; he is only interpreting and communicating the message to both the parties.

The conversion is primarily between the Spanish businessman and his client. Whatever the English

client says, the same is communicated to the Spanish businessman and vice versa; the interpreter is not

responsible for what the other two are saying. Again, if the other two sound confusing, the interpreter

will also sound likewise.

The radiesthesia pendulum acts likewise. What you are communicating to your subconscious and the

latter’s response is indicated by the pendulum.

A most important thing to bear in mind is you are communicating to your subconscious, which is not a

physical but a psychic entity. The response is received in form of electromagnetic energy waves that you

are not able to perceive directly, but the dowsing pendulum, which is sensitive to these vibrations,

senses the same and moves.

Since you are not familiar with this communication system, it would be good to know in advance where

you can error.

Errors due to our psychological and mental state

If our mind is not relaxed, we have not calmed our emotions or disturbing and irrelevant thoughts keep

entering our mind, then the vibrations coming from our self will be disturbed and so will be the

pendulum.

It is extremely important that our mind is controlled and we are able to concentrate properly on the task

at hand, the question we are seeking an answer for.

Errors due to Autosuggestions

When we presume something in advance and ask a question, unconsciously we are making an attempt to

answer the question ourselves, and as a consequence, giving our presumption precedence over what we

seek from the subconscious. This would give the wrong results.

For example, someone, a friend you trust told you that he/she has kept a ring in a certain box. In this

case, if you hold the pendulum above the box, already sure of the answer, the pendulum will give a

positive response, even if there is no ring in that box.

Errors due to the type of question asked

Our subconscious gives answers on the basis of the question asked. Therefore, it is necessary to be

precise and clear. For example, you want to know whether your car needs gas. You put forward the

question: “Does my car require gas today?” or “Does my car require gas?” The answer will be “yes”

even if your car’s gas tank is full. The reason is simple. To function, definitely, your car needs gas,

today or any other day. You need to be precise. For example, take a chart and ask instead, “What is the

amount of petrol or gas in my car’s gas tank in litres?”

Errors due to misinterpretations

In the beginning, you might need to repeat the same process several times. Most of the times, this is

because you might not have achieved the right level of concentration, which is absolutely necessary. In

this process, you build misinterpretations. To explain this, an example that comes to mind is of Internet

connectivity. You need to be connected to access the information on the Net. Here, in case of

radiesthesia, however, by misinterpreting a connection or the results of a disconnection with the

subconscious, one can get confusing or wrong results.

Errors due to overuse of mental energy

Sometimes, we have already overused our mental energies before we start dowsing. A certain level of

mental energy is a prerequisite for dowsing, which if not present will result in unreliable indications

from the pendulum.

Errors due to being over ambitions

If you attempt for a higher or advanced level of radiesthesia, without having attained the capacity for the

same, the results will be unreliable. It is like attempting to solve advanced mathematical equations on

the basis of average knowledge.

Errors due to being in a closed state of mind

There are many ways you keep a closed state of mind, and dowsing in this state of mind is like acting

out the process rather than doing it. For example, a person does not like visiting his uncle’s house, but

out of duty he/she has to. During the duration of the whole visit, the person will not be able to enjoy

much because his/her mind is set; either he/she will remain distracted or see the negative side of all

things. Keeping an open mind is an essential part of the practice of radiesthesia.

If you keep these basic rules in mind, other pitfalls can also be avoided. Ignoring the above will result in

more and more problems. However, all one needs is, regular practice in the right state of mind and with

a clear head to ask precise and appropriate questions. Meditation helps a lot in attaining mind control

and in increasing concentration levels. Regular practice makes all the difference.

Practicing radiesthesia, one often wonders about the scientific premises behind the practice. There is no

need to worry about it much. Even if you do not know the mechanics that make your car function, you

can drive it pretty well. However, an attempt is made to give you an understanding of the scientific

premises in the next section.

Radiesthesia: The Science Underlying the Practice

How much do we know about this universe to decide what is scientific and what is not? What we think

of as scientific remains such only till the next discovery. At first, the earth was considered in the middle

of the universe and Galileo was condemned for his newfound observations. Later, Issac Newton made

extensive discoveries of gravitational forces and planetary movements, only to be further modified by

Albert Einstein. Not long before--just some decades ago--the observation that matter exists in three

forms was considered the veritable fact, but that was before quarks were discovered. The knowledge of

radiesthesia is not based on defined concepts of modern science rather on the unexplored areas, the area

of energy waves and of one of the most complex issues of all, human mind.

Thus, two things are necessary for understanding the techniques of radiesthesia:

The knowledge of basic concepts of energy and its forms and

Exploration in to the complex field of human mind and its perception abilities

Energy and its forms

This universe is a play of energy. Whatever exists is ultimately a form of energy. And energy is not still

- it vibrates. The frequency at which energy is vibrating establishes the density of its expression as

matter. When it vibrates at lower frequencies, it is more visible, like in solids. When the frequency of

energy vibration is more, for example in gases, it becomes invisible to human eyes, though we can sense

it or physically feel its manifestation. For example, if we are exposed to carbon gas, some harmful

chemical reactions take place in our body. But, when energy fields vibrate at very high frequencies,

beyond the perception capacity of the five human sensory organs, humans are not able to sense it

physically.

For centuries, we only gave value to what we can discern physically through our five sense organs. In

the twentieth century, for the first time, scientists attempted to discover the unseen and normally

unperceived factors, and technology instruments were developed to explore them. Hence, X-rays, radio

waves, etc. came to be used for the benefit of the human race. It is an established fact, now, that these

high energy fields, vibrating at advanced frequencies surround all matter, including living systems. They

are multidimensional. These multidimensional energy fields together with the solid state form our total

living body.

Human Mind: How much can it perceive matters

In this energy universe, how does our mind perceive matters? Interactions between matters on a physical

level are obvious. We see, hear, smell, feel interactions between energy fields on a physical level. For

example, when a piece of stone hits us, we get hurt.

To a certain extent, interaction between emotional and physical levels is also visible. For example, when

we feel extremely sad, we cry, a feeling of fear increases the flow of adrenaline in the blood stream, etc.

The difficulty is in determining interactions between matters vibrating at higher frequencies, matters that

are neither seen nor sensed through the physical sensory organs of a human body.

The question is: Is a human body only capable of perceiving things related to the physical level? This

question raises another: Being a multidimensional body system how is it possible that we can perceive

matters related only to one level? The answer that is derived is humans should be able to perceive things

on all levels, but because of some factors, they are limiting their detections to things related to a physical

level. If this answer is difficult to comprehend, then probably, you might be confused on what exactly

perception means or is. It is explained in brief below.

The nerves carry messages to the brain and back. This function is registered by our mind and we identify

the message. The mind, without question, plays an important role in determining the human capacity to

perceive matters and interaction between matters. Imagine, if our mind stops functioning for some

moments, as in the case of some mentally affected persons, our nerves would still be transmitting

messages and our body would be functioning, but we will not be able to identify anything. It can be

concluded that, ultimately, what we perceive is controlled by our mind. Herein, lies the clue as to why

humans limit their detections of matters to a physical level.

The human mind is a complex entity. Our experiences and observations are limited by our conscious

mind. The conscious mind deals with matters related to the physical level. In this case, it becomes

difficult for us to experience things not related to the physical level. But, the existence of the

subconscious mind cannot be refuted. It exists and if it exists, it will be definitely controlling our

perceptions related to all levels, including the physical level since it has a control on the conscious mind

also.

Therefore, by connecting with the realm of the subconscious mind, we can perceive matters and

interaction of matters on all levels. And, that is exactly what we do in radiesthesia. Just like the radio

instrument is used to receive and play radio wave transmissions, in the same manner, radioaesthetic

instruments are used for the benefit of our conscious mind to recognize the messages received when we

connect with our subconscious mind. A master radiesthesia practitioner might not need a pendulum, but

getting to that stage is indeed difficult, though not impossible. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once

said, our body is the best unit of measurement.

Thus, by practicing radiesthesia, you are making an attempt to increase your realm of experiences from

ordinary to extraordinary, from obvious to beyond the obvious.

How did this science and art come into existence, you will be able to find this in the next section.

Radiesthesia: Origins and Brief History

Radiesthesia is a very ancient practice.

Cave pictures, engraving, reliefs, rock drawings, and ancient manuscripts in different locations in the

world, dating back several thousand years, showing radiesthesia practitioners holding pendular

instruments prove that radiesthesia is among the ancient sciences of the world, a practice which was not

restricted to any particular place or even country.

Though people usually relate ancients with superstitions and myths, it cannot be challenged that it was

through their wisdom that civilization progressed. From astronomy to economy, from agriculture to

healing, from literature, music, paintings to mathematics, physics and chemistry, there is no area left

unexplored by them. It should not be surprising that with the use of a simple pendular instrument, they

could locate oil mines in deserts, a feat accomplished today using advanced satellite technologies.

It is difficult to trace the origins of this practice to a particular time or place. Some details on the

evidences of this practice by different ancient civilizations of the world are mentioned below:

French

The pictorial representations dating back 15,000 years in the Cave of Lascaux in Southern France

indicate use of radiesthesia.

Egyptian

The use of radiesthesia pendulum goes back 7,000 years among the Egyptians, earlier than the pyramids.

There are Egyptian reliefs that show their Gods holding scepters or pendular instruments. Evidences of

mining in all the gold mines of the unchartered Sinai desert several thousand years ago suggest the use

of radiesthesia. These mines, which were found using man-made satellites now, were marked and used

by the ancient Egyptians using very simple radiesthesia instruments.

Chinese

A Chinese engraving dated 147 BC shows Emperor Yu (of Hia dynasty, which existed in 2200 BC)

holding a pendular instrument like a tuning fork. The inscription beneath read: “Yu, of the Hia dynasty,

was famous for his knowledge of the presence of mineral deposits and sources; he could find concealed

objects; he was able by his expertise to adapt the operation of the field according to the different

seasons.” This engraving is the oldest known written document about radiesthesia. The inscription on

the engraving leaves no doubt that the pendular instrument shown in the engraving is a radioaesthetic

device.

Greek

The use of dowsing pendulum in ancient Greece is evident from the work of several renowned

philosophers including Pythagoras and Plato. Pythagoras translated every vibrational quality in the

universe to a proportion on a monochord radiesthesia instrument. His work was based on the ancient

Egyptian method of correlating musical chords with numerical values.

Other Civilizations

Cave pictures found in Tassili in Sahara, which were drawn in 6,000 BC, indicate the practice of

dowsing.

Herodotus, the legendary historian and traveler, wrote about the use of dowsing by Persians, Scythians

and Medes. There are records of its practice by Etruscans, Hindus, Hebrews, Polynesians, and

Peruvians. Information from cuneiform tablets shows that the ancient Sumerians used radiesthesia for

locating underground water and minerals.

It seems that radiesthesia is another landmark in the phase of human evolution towards gaining power

over body, mind, space, and time.

Appendix - A

Other Radiesthesia devices

In modern times, with increase in the practice of dowsing and growing number of practitioners, a variety

of dowsing tools have developed. More than three hundred dowsing tools are used. They come in all

sizes, shapes and materials.

However, besides pendulums, the other main types of radioaesthetic instruments are:

Forked stick

The forked stick is a petite Y-shaped tree branch, usually, made from hazel, willow, ash or rowan trees.

The dowser holds the stick parallel to the ground.

L Rods

Two L shaped metal rods are held, one in each hand, and both parallel to the ground and to each other.

When the dowser passes over the area underneath which the object being sought is located, the rods

either swing apart or cross each other.

Bobbers

A bobber is made from a slender stick or flexible wire. They are 1-3 feet in length. One end of the

bobber weighs more heavily than the other. A bobber is held horizontally (more or less) by one end in

the hand with the heavier end held away from the body.

How to choose a Pendulum

There are a number of methods used by people to choose a pendulum. Whatever the method used for

choosing one, a good thing to bear in mind is that whatever works for you is the best pendulum for you.

This is because the pendulum is a device you are using to communicate and get information from your

higher self or subconscious. Therefore, the device with which you feel comfortable working and which

responds to you easily will be the one more in tune with your energy. The results are what matter in the

end.

However, there are some general characteristics related to different pendulums that make them more

suitable for certain kinds of dowsing. A rounded or conical pendulum is good for general dowsing

purposes. The Universal Pendulum is sophisticated and very beneficial in healing. Abbe Mermet’s

pendulum with its cavity or witness chamber is great for healing, and a most effective tool for

transmitting remedies of any potency.

There are hundreds of pendulums available, the difference depends on the materials used like, diamonds,

crystals, gold, emeralds, etc, or on the their geometrical shapes, for example, pyramid shaped, cone

shaped, tear drop shaped, etc.
