Spiritual Dowsing

Spiritual Dowsing is a history of the Earth Energies and their relationship with ancient sacred sites, how to dowse for these energies, healing techniques, and other uses today. There seem to be two different kinds of people who are interested in dowsing the Earth Energies today. There are those who are interested in finding out more information about these energies and quantifying them using scientific methodology. Another group seeks to find ways of tuning in to these energies as a way of growing spiritually (another word for 'dowsing' is 'divining,' and it gives a clue as to its potential as a tool for exploring in the spiritual realms). While the title implies an emphasis on the spiritual, both reasons for using dowsing to become involved with the energies of the Earth are explored in this book. The history of our connection with the Earth is the focal point, and it looks at the past, present, and possible future uses of these little known resources that can aid the spiritual pilgrim on the path. This book will teach you how to dowse, how to use those skills to look at the energies in sacred space, and it will also give you some ideas about what you might do with them. It is important that you not only read this book, but also do the dowsing exercises that are proposed here. It is through direct experience of dowsing and the energies discussed that you will realize the veracity of the material here presented. The author uses the word 'gnowing' to describe this process. It involves using both the rational left side of your brain as well as the more intuitive right side together - valuing both sides equally.

Sig Lonegren has been a student of sacred enclosures since the late 1960s and he has a Masters degree in Sacred Space, the study of pre-Protestant Reformation spiritual centers. He is the author of the "Earth Mysteries Handbook: Wholistic Non-intrusive Data Gathering Techniques, " in which he discusses sacred geometry, archaeoastronomy and dowsing, and "Spiritual Dowsing, " a book that explores dowsing both as a tool for locating earth energies found at ancient sacred sites, and for health and healing. Sig is a past Trustee of the American Society of Dowsers, and was head of their Dowsing School for several years. While his home is in Vermont, USA, he spends time each year in the heart of King Arthur's Avalon, at Glastonbury, England. For the past four years Sig has been contributing to Earth Mystery gatherings with people in Britain. These week long encampments, put together by a group called OakDragon, focus on specific topics like music and dance, astrology, healing, creativity, ceremony, and the study of the experience of ancient Britain.
