Dowsing is a way of using the body's own reflexes with cosmic energy to help you interpret the world around you. When applying dowsing, the only requirement is a conscious and receptive "you", you are able to feel the "aura" of a person and almost every aspect of nature. Dowsing rods can be used to Search for lost items, discover underground water and to locate buried metals, gemstones and ghost hunting. They are also used to reveal answers to questions hidden from your conscious mind.
