Dowsing with Pot Plants
Kate Smart's excellent video shows how dowsing can be used to enhance one’s horticultural activities.

Filmed for the 2020 virtual Hellens Garden Festival.

Ideal for showing novice dowsers how they can apply their skills.

Kate would like to emphasise that this is very much for a beginner, and to inspire them to try dowsing with a plant for themselves, in fact to have a conversation with said plant. 
So many people assume that plants are not conscious, and science is only just catching up with the fact that they are sophisticated beings mirroring many of the physical/energetic systems that we have. This makes them capable of exhibiting the characteristics that most people consider are only possible to measure in some animals.

Whilst relaxing with your five statutory friends take in Guy Hudson’s video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=042N05bmlL4. The ASD has an excellent introduction to on-site and remote dowsing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrrN6UYZj38.


Project Water
Having what might be described as a bit of an obsession for all things aqueous, I am delighted to accept Ced’s invitation to share a series of short water-related musings. By way of introduction, this interest in water stems from studies in homeopathic medicine and, in particular, a eureka-moment whilst watching a BBC documentary on the heretical work of Jacques Benveniste in the early 90’s.

The work of the French scientist led, in the end, to the memory of water hypothesis. Everything suddenly made sense and my journey with water began. After completing my licentiate studies, the work of Dr Edward Bach inspired plant and environmental essence-making in accordance with the Sun Method, an alchemical process that draws on inner knowing in tandem with the inherent wisdom of the natural world. Learning to trust this process has taken some time but, along the way, water has been both guide and teacher.  

Water, or the waters, eventually brought me to the Malvern Hills where I forged a deep connection with the area’s unique geo-cultural topography. The abundance of springs, wells and fountains as well as the area’s water cure history inspired a new set of essences. They also inspired academic studies in human-water relationships from both anthropological and eco-spiritual perspectives. I would like to close with a couple of key findings from my studies that illustrate the profundity of water’s presence in our lives.

Within my Malvern-based research group, water was generally perceived as something greater than the sum of its parts, that is, the meaning of water went beyond its two-hydrogen-one-oxygen chemical structure. Instead, water tended to be understood from an animic perspective with its qualities and characteristics serving to remind us that we inhabit an inter-connected, inter-related, universe reliant on reciprocal, mutually constituted, relationships. Blessed be the waters.

Our new website will be up and running by the end of September and contains over 200 Dowsing Tales, Stories & Mysteries from all over the world. Many of the Kurdish Water Dowsing Family Groups have now joined our group and are showing us their successful water dowsing projects over there in the Middle East

Noah Clinch organised an excellent Map-Dowsing Exercise by hiding a silver coin deep in the Tunstall Forest during the month of August. Many dowsers took part and it was surprising how accurate they were. Rebecca Crowley though came within inches of the buried coin and won the donated prize - a bottle of Greek Wine. We haven't heard from her since.

Letters to the Ed
Dear Ced

Way back in time when Special Interest Groups existed there was an active Health group. I was the Chairman and Jane Court was the vice chairman. We both went on to form the International Association of Health Dowsers (IAHD ) which still exists and has a moderate membership. Jane Court is now the Chairman and I have retired from the IAHD committee.

The main part of IAHD membership when I was a committee member, was that the dowsers were also qualified therapists rather than dowsers who use dowsing as a tool for occasional health purposes. Perhaps being a qualified therapist could be a basic requirement for any separate from BSD health dowsing group.

It should be noted that Jane Court is now on the BSD committee and I have no doubt, informally will have health dowser's views in mind when health matters are brought up at B.S.D. meetings should such a subject be raised.

I still believe the getting rid of the Specialist Interest Groups was partly the reason for the decline of the BSD. Having the BSD as a hub for knowledge was a good means of getting an overview of what was happening in the various fields.

I can't think of any way that the BSD can be returned to the state of its glory days. Perhaps the suggestions here ( https://conta.cc/2PMZ2HK ) would work. However, one of the problems is to get people willing to find the time to keep the B.S.D. going.

Good luck to all who attempt to keep the B.S.D. afloat but its purpose and benefits to members will have to be clearly defined.

An invitation

As LDGN No 55 goes to press, the BSD AGM is still scheduled to take place on October 17th, just over four weeks away.

The AGM will be conducted via Zoom (or similar), so I thought it might be helpful to offer space in the next edition of this newsletter (No 56), for people to circulate their views in advance of the AGM. To ensure that your views are published in the next edition, you must get them to Ced Jackson before the end of September. Info@CedJackson.org

Please note that this newsletter is not part of the BSD AGM process. You must ensure that you take appropriate steps to comply with BSD AGM procedures.




Dowsers Contra Covid !
As the number of people infected - and the cost - go stratospheric, it may be worth trying something very old.

Dowsing and feng shui look at the body, the house, and this body in this house. So it is worth calling for ...

Shields Up ! - Opening Sacred Space
... as set out in 'Shaman Healer Sage' by Alberto Villoldo p 147 - 149, an important text.

This utilizes the light of the eighth chakra - above the head - creating a kind of secure spiritual Faraday Cage. We expand this radiant orb and rest within it. We can actually sit within it and shield ourselves from the static of the world.

"Bring your hands over your chest into prayer pose. Slowly raise your hands, still in prayer pose, until they are above your head. Sense your fingertips entering the globe of the eighth chakra. Sense how this spinning sun yields and opens to you. Very slowly, like a peacock opening its fan, expand the circumference of this brilliant orb to envelop you by turning our palms outward and extending your arms. Bring your arms down until your hands touch the chair, and bask in the light of your eighth chakra."

From within sacred space you can undertake work strengthening your immunity, and building your resistance to the virus. Here are some tips to get you started https://www.dowsingheals.com/coronavirus-protocols/

It is important to close sacred space after you have completed your work, so that the source does not get polluted. Do this by reversing the opening sequence.

We shall fight them on the etheric

The most useful and succinct text on healing and dowsing I have found is within the writings of Joey Korn, as set out in Dowsing : A Path to Enlightenment.

At the core of his approach are prayers (blessings, short statements, intentions, invocations), which are carefully crafted to cover necessary requirements. The process of constructing the prayers is set out in his book. Here are some examples. Construct you own which address Covid.

Blessing over an entire Home

Type "simple-blessing-process-by-Joey-Korn" into your search engine, and click on 'videos' at the top of the page, and then go to the first (and then subsequent) videos. Say...

If it be Thy Will,
May the Powers of Nature converge to increase and enhance
the beneficial energies in this entire house,
Including the energies related to us as human beings,
The energies related to underground streams of water and other natural forces of the Earth,
The energies radiating from electrical devices,
and Hartmann & Curry Grid Lines,
Throughout my home and property,
For all the members of this household,
For all those who will visit, for our pets and plants, and for all of life,
For now and into the future,
For as long as is appropriate. 
In deep gratitude. 
Amen.

and ...

The Simple Blessing Process over Yourself

Dear God (or however you feel comfortable addressing the Divine)
Please bless me and charge me with energy
To bring healing and balance to my complete being, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually
(Optional: Add statement of intent. See book)
Thank you.
Amen
