But how do you discover these forces, know where they are, or tap into them? One way is by using the ancient intuitive art form of divining with sticks (or as they're called in their new and improved version, divining rods). |

Ancient cave drawings going back 6,000 years show people holding forked sticks. The practice appeared in prehistoric pictures in places as diverse as Egypt, China, and Peru. Dowsing for water would, understandably, be an essential use of divination for the early nomadic tribes who often traveled through dry territory. |

Dowsing works according to the same principle surrounding psychometry. Like tuning into the vibrations linked to a certain object, dowsing tunes into the vibrational information regarding a specific place. A dowser performs the procedure by clearly formulating in his mind what he is seeking, then holding divining rods as he walks through his chosen area. When the dowser crosses a spot that contains the sought-after substance, the rods move. By walking back and forth near this spot, the dowser can ascertain the line that the water, or whatever material, follows. |

Perhaps dowsing has survived from ancient times to the present because it has so many uses. Among its uses are dowsing for oil, minerals, lost objects, archeological sites, and even spiritual landmarks that may have been buried over time. Dowsing can also be done from afar by using a map and a pendulumand in search of something far different from a bit of water! |

Dowsing for information can be done with a pendulum. In addition to pointing out the location of physical materials on a map, pendulums can locate information within the human body (especially when it comes to pinpointing a site of disease), answer yes or no answers to specific questions, and even make stock market predictions. Anyone can learn to use a pendulum; the hardest part is asking an appropriate question and phrasing it properly. |

Working with pendulums is a good way for newcomers to psychic ability to gain a sense of confidence. At his PK parties (which we described in Chapter 22), Jack Houck encourages people to try using the pendulum before |
