DOWSING

The ancient practice of dowsing embraces far more than the popular image of searching for water. In The Divining Heart, Richard and Pat Wright define dowsing broadly as the “process of uncovering information through the medium of the self.” The efficacy and benefit of the dowser’s art, they argue, are proportionate to the practitioner’s own level of self-awareness and inner discipline.

The Wrights believe, as do many dowsers, that the ability to dowse is innate, but they also feel that its proper development is linked to the parallel unfoldment of our spiritual lives. Through this process, the dowser becomes increasingly aware of the interconnectedness of all aspects of life and begins to play his or her part toward positive change and healing.

Because this role calls for an acute sense of responsibility, the Wrights discuss in detail the subject of right action in dowsing. Chapters are devoted to practical dowsing, earth energies, planetary stewardship, healing and prayer, and the supersensory worlds. An indispensable guide for the advanced dowser as well as a beginner’s sourcebook, The Divining Heart offers valuable insight for every stage of the dowsing journey.

THE WRIGHTS have taught and written about dowsing for more than a decade. Richard has been a trustee of the American Society of Dowsers, an editor of The American Dowser, and, with T. Edward Ross 2nd, the author of The Divining Mind.
