How I Dowse for 'Uncomfortable' Subtle Energies in Homes and Offices

Author: Lee R. Barnes

I dowse for 'uncomfortable' subtle energies using easily learned intuition techniques developed while dowsing for underground flowing water and geological faults- simply, I usually feel tightness in my chest that I find uncomfortable and by training, my hand turns a L-rod dowsing devised to indicate edges and flows of these weak energy fields. ( a typical person can detect a magnetic field 1/100th the strength needed to move the pointer of a small magnetic compass.)

I prefer the term 'uncomfortable subtle energies' rather than 'geopathic' ('earth-pathic') or 'negative energy' since these energies may be beneficial to some high energy-loving animals, such as cats, groundhogs, and honey bees. (Dogs, horses, and cattle avoid these high energies, and are said to be good indicators of places comfortable to humans.) Over 70 years of study in Europe have linked long term exposure to these subtle natural and man-made energies with insomnia, immune deficiency diseases, and formation of tumors. There is a long history of dowsers sensing various fields, energy lines and grid patterns, vortices, etc. I recommend the Earth Energy Group's Glossary from the British Society of Dowsers webpage for an illustrated glossary of terms. I believe these subtle energies to be basically electromagnetic in nature, with harmonic interactions of standing-wave forms.

I usually walk around the perimeter of a house or office to detect dowseable energy fields. I mark these energy fields with surveyor flags on all sides of the house. I then dowse inside the house and mark these fields with sticky Post-it Notes. I most often find linear 'Dowseable Energy Lines' (Dels) that appear as narrow-to-wide bands ranging from a few inches wide to several feet wide. For me, these 'Dels' dowse as linear 3-D 'curtains' that extend vertically to upper floors.

I use the dowsing technique developed by the well-known dowser, Walt Woods, to determine a person's 'SafeTime' in these energy fields. 'SafeTime' is a complex function of 1) an individual's personal health and ability to recover from exposure; 2) relative strength of field and distance from source(s); and Time in Hours spent in these fields. The summary of these interactions can determine how many hours an individual can tolerate these fields without harm. So a safe time of 5 hours would not be a good place to sleep 7 hours, etc. Safe times of a few hours are to be universally avoided.

I 'bioassay' an individual's auras by dowsing - I can easily dowse the edges of the body;s bio-electromagnetic field that is created by the body's chemical reactions to form a sort of homeostatic field around the body - exposure to Dels either weaken the immune system or stress the body specifically to the areas of the body directly exposed to the Dels. A healthy person's aura will extend several feet from their outstretched hand while exposure to flowing underground water or Dels causes the aura to 'shrink' several feet towards the body. This is an easy technique to learn and demonstrate on others.

I generally show clients how to detect these energies themselves using dowsing tools or with their individual sense of comfort or relaxed state. I ask them to move their beds and work stations out of these Dels and see how that affects their sleep or personal energy level. I DO NOT attempt to divert or block these energies due to unexpected consequences or possible harm to others. Flowing energies need to flow! Dowsers have historically 'blocked, diverted, transformed, and offered prayers' to make these energies harmless. These actions may make noticeable improvement, however, individuals should be diligent to monitor changes over time in these subtle energy fields that make them again, 'uncomfortable'. Be aware of your intuitive comfort and empower yourself to sense and avoid 'uncomfortable' subtle and not-so-subtle energies.
