Speaker for June 18th, 2017Joe Vandermeer

- Swedenborg and Ways of Knowing -

Joe Vandermeer is Director of the Swe-denborg Centre and Swedenborg As-

sociation. He seeks practical teachings for personal inner development to max-imise usefulness and well-being, combin-ing his training in psychology and expe-rience as a scientist with the wisdom of spirituality and mythology.

Joe will examine the unique experiences and skills of 18th century polymath, sci-entist and seer Emanuel Swedenborg. Like him, we journey from the unknown to the known as we emerge from apparent chaos into the light of understanding to discover order and love. Flowing under-neath our desire to understand and manipulate our surroundings runs the primary question of whether this world is chaotic, destruc-tive and uncaring towards our suffering, or if it is orderly, life-pre-serving and benevolent to us?

To answer such ultimate questions we construct tools to expand the tiny windows of our bodily senses. But when we remember to also look inside we realise our mind is the greatest resource for making sense and bringing about change. Self-knowledge is the ultimate key to understand everything better. Our unconscious mind both helps and hinders us. While it provides intuition it also acts on our deci-sions as a silent unseen master, influencing our numerous percep-tions and ways of experiencing as an uninvited intruder.

From Russia With LoveBy François Capmeil

The opportunity to go to Russia knocked on our door, we jumped at it hoping to get some idea of the energy lines in Russia. The offer

was to travel on a boat from Moscow navigating north down the Volga river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and canals separated by 18 locks. Each lock allows the boat to go up or down to the next water level. The boat is scheduled to stop every day at towns and villages along the way, allowing time to explore the countryside, churches and monasteries.

Arriving in Moscow we were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful, clean and modern city. No graffiti on the walls, but more BMWs and Mercedes than in Sydney. The city centre looks magnificent with many well maintained 17th century buildings. Facades are painted in light col-ours and illuminated at night. Churches are everywhere to be seen, topped with golden onion shaped roofs. The entire city is sprinkled with green parks which actually cover 40% of the city. People are very friendly, free and relaxed.

The first church we could go to was the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. It was built, like so many churches in Russia, to commem-orate the winning of some battle, it is no longer an active church though.

We could not enter as it was closed, so we walked around it trying to find any converging en-ergy lines but, surprisingly could not find any. Church of Christ the Saviour

Saint Basil’s CathedralThis beautiful cathedral stands on the edge of Red Square (Red in this context does not refer to the colour red, but means ‘beautiful’ in Russian). It is no longer used as a church, but we could visit it. The layout is very unusual. The cathe-dral is made up of nine square chapels. One at the centre and eight smaller ones around it. Each chapel features a powerful positive vortex at the centre. None of the chapels have an altar, but they are decorated with beautiful icons. There are no chairs, and dark nar-row corridors meander around to link each chapel, forming a dark maze lit by small candle-looking LED lights.

The cathedral looks quite large on the outside but the inside is quite small. I could not find any energy lines linking the individual vortexes, nor could I find any lines from the outside of the cathedral. This is very unusual, and I could not explain it at all.

We visited other churches in Moscow but none had any energy lines or vortexes that we could detect. Very few of them are still used as churches.We saw one that was open and entered. A few older women were attend-ing a service. Services are quite long. One hour and a half minimum, and everyone has to stand, as there are no chairs in any of the churches.

During the Soviet times huge canals and reservoirs were dug up to make the Volga River navigable. Having many locks allows large boats to go up to various lakes, and back down the river. As the boat leisurely traveled,

we saw many small towns pass by, all centred around a golden roofed church.

We stopped in a few little towns. All of them featured beautiful churches with golden onion domes, but the churches are often used as museums, many are being restored and temporarily closed. None of the ones we visited exhibited any energies we could detect. Most of them were built to celebrate a war victory of the past.

GoritsyAt the centre of the town of Goritsy we visited the monastery of Sainr Cyril. It was used as a fortress to protect the villagers from invaders, and it still contains an active church. The town is beautiful, all buildings are in the 18th century style.

We saw some monks preparing for a church service. A few old women and children and an old priest attended. The feeling in the monastery is quite dull, nothing significant that we could detect.

We walked to the outskirts of the town until the road became un-sealed. Most houses there have their own plot of land with vegeta-bles and huge stacks of cut wood for winter.

Each house is carefully painted in light colours, with pretty curtains. We reached the edge of the forest made of pine and birch trees most-ly, and walked back to the ship.

We saw a couple of kids on skate boards playing, and some small shops loaded with cheeses, sausages, vegetables and fruits. We did not see any shortages of food anywhere.

Kizhi IslandThe second largest lake in Eu-rope, Lake Ladoga, is located in the north of Russia. On this small island is a very old settle-ment where monks established a monastery in the 11th centu-ry.

Two weeks before we arrived on Kizhi Island, the lake was still frozen and visits were not possible. By the time we arrived all the snow and ice had melted and we could reach the island.

This entire area is very special as it sits on a huge mineral deposit of Shun-gite. This is the only deposit in the world. Shungite is a special form of carbon deposited millions of years ago. Shungite has healing, protecting and balancing qualities.

We actually use some at home (im-ported from Russia) to re-energise

water after our reverse-osmosis filter.

There are quite a few very old wooden houses on the island as well as two churches. A very large one under restoration, called the Wooden Cathe-dral, is the largest wooden church in the world. It could not be visited but a small wooden church stands next to it.

That small church is still open for religious services. A big surprise waited for us there. A huge and powerful beautiful energy filled that simply decorated room. This was only the second time we experienced a real connection with spiritual energy in Russia.

Navigating the river, we watched many little towns and forests go by. We saw people camping in the wild, away from any town, with tents and campfires, fishing along the river. Sometimes the banks were quite close, and we could see the forest pass by, sometimes we could not see any land on the horizon on either side of the ship.

MandrogiThis resort is located on Lake On-ega, the largest lake in Europe. Since it is relatively close to Saint Petersburg, many people over the years have built little ‘dachas’ (coun-try weekenders) in the woods.

At the end of a walking path we found an old village nestled in the trees, close to a small river. A well stood at the centre of the small group of houses. It was so peaceful and serene, we stopped there for a while, soaking up the stillness, the green trees, and the sight of these very old wooden houses.

Saint Isaac’s CathedralSaint Petersburg was created from nothing on a swamp by the Gulf of Finland by Peter the Great, who hated Moscow. The city grew with each new ruler. Saint Isaac’s is the fourth largest cathedral in the world, cur-rently used as both a museum and a Russian Orthodox church. As Glenn walked into the enormous left trancept, she felt the ‘Mary Line’ energy. I walked further and found another spot which felt to me like the ‘Michael Line’ energy on the opposite trancept.

We walked back and forth between these 2 spots. However I could not

Page 8: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Page 8 Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017

find any lines joining the two. The more time we spent on the spots the stronger the energy felt. We left the church quite invigorated.

ConclusionMost of the Russian churches were built as a ‘thank you’ to particular saints for winning battles or escaping military in-cursions by the Swedes, the Poles or the French. During the Soviet era all the churches were closed, mostly turned into museums or storage places.Some churches were dedicated to fake saints.

For example the Church on Spilled Blood in Saint Petersburg. The Tsar Alexander II was assassinated there. He was canonised by the orthodox Church and the church was built on the spot. He was not a real saint, just a harsh ruler, so no wonder there are no energies we could detect there. The last Tsar was also canonised. To me a saint is someone who has spent their life in spiritual pursuits, and none of these people really qual-ify.

The Russian people have withstood a lot of harsh times, from the time of Peter the Great when all the peasants were declared to be slaves and bound into serfdom, to the communist era. It was Hamish Miller in New Zea-land who discovered there is a huge correlation between the strength of the energy lines and the human activity connecting to these lines. I think that the energy lines in the part of Russia we visited have responded by going quiet.

Russia extends over 11 time zones. It is the largest country on this planet. In our visit we stayed within one single time zone. So what we have seen and described here is not a complete picture by any means. It is just what we have witnessed on our magical two week journey.

Ghost BustingBy Jane Ruehmkorff

Having come across a few entities recently, I thought I’d share with you some ghostly encounters that Peter and I have had over the last

10 years.

Fortunately after removing the negative earth radiation, ghosts are happy to move on, because we have made it uncomfortable for them to stay. After setting the stones, (see Celtic Stone Method in previous newslet-ters) using a pendulum we ask the question: “Is the job complete?” And if the answer is “No!”, then the next question is: “Is it a ghost or entity?” And if “Yes!”, then we have to find where it is and encourage the ghost to go to the Light. Ringing the Tibetan cymbals three times with the intent of moving them on usually does the trick.

The first ghost story I remember Peter telling me is when he was in a high-rise apartment in Paddington with his apprentice, Mike, and they had located a ghost in the laundry. Being a confined space, the two men stood in the doorway as Peter struck the Tibetan bells 3 times and both of them were pushed aside as the ghost rushed out! Mike, white faced and trembling said: “Whhhaaat was thaat?“ and Peter, grinning, though also a bit shaken, said: “That was your first ghost!” After that experience we always made sure there was a clear exit for their escape.

Another time we were at a beautiful property on the North Shore with a shed beside the pool. I poked my nose in the shed and noticed a musty, closed in smell and “ghost” immediately came to mind. Sure enough, when we asked the question, there was a ghost languishing in the shed, who subsequently got sent to the light. We always ask the pendulum if it is appropriate and beneficial for all, to remove the ghost, because some-times it is not.

We had a case in Brisbane where our client had two ghosts situated in the bathroom! He said one was benevolent and the other was not and could

Page 10: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Page 10 Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017

we remove the nasty one. Sure we could, but how do we distinguish which is which? “Easy,” he says, “the malevolent one is my mother-in-law who keeps poking me in the ribs!” Her name was Olivea, so after suggest-ing to Olivea that she goes to the Light, peace was restored in that house-hold.

At a large stately home in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, we had finished setting the stones and the lady of the house was muttering: “Look in the cellar, check the cellar!” So I turned to her and asked where the entrance to the cellar was located. She lifted a large rug in the lounge room to re-veal a trapdoor. Peter went down and found a very big spider, racks of wine with the labels peeling off the bottles in the dank conditions, as well as several old and unhappy ghosts held there.

Very spooky! It turned out that the house had a long and interesting his-tory; starting out as a boarding house for single men, it had also been the home of a Middle Eastern Consulate, and later owned by a colourful television personality. Our clients were relieved when the ghosts were released and moved on, as they had often felt an uneasy presence.

On a sheep farm in Outback NSW, we encountered a group of Aborigi-nal people who apparently had not moved on after some warfare, and were trapped under a cottage used as Bed & Breakfast accommodation. On that occasion we did not have our Tibetan cymbals, so our friends found a drum and I drummed them out and to the Light, while Peter kept checking with his pendulum till they had all gone. Again, there was relief all round when these native entities had moved on and a feeling of calm restored.

The owner of a large junk store needed help as his business was not thriv-ing. After changing the earth radiation, I discovered a ghost in one of the rooms. When I showed him where the ghost was located, he said that was where he always smelt cigarette smoke and nobody else could smell it! After the ghost was relocated the cigarette smoke also vanished.

My latest encounter with a ghost was at an ‘eco village’ in the Hunter Val-

Page 11: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017 Page 11

ley. My client revealed that when she sat on the veranda of the communal area she felt heavy, fuddled and smelt a strange odour. That place also had very strong negative lines going in both directions. So we pulled out our pendulums and started asking ques-tions. It turned out that the ghost was a woman, an early settler in the area. She had moved in with a very large boardroom table that had come from the old Maitland Hospital, and was now being used as a dining table! After set-ting the stones and sending the ghost to the Light, my client was de-lighted to experience a complete change in energy through her V-rod, as well as feeling a lightness that was not there before.

Ghosts thrive in negative earth radiation, as well as cluttered and dark, damp conditions. Sheds or basements cluttered with junk, moist and air-less, are perfect locations for them. They sometimes cause mischief, often not realising they are dead and still caught in limbo. I also believe they can prevent people from clearing their clutter. Also, as I discovered dur-ing this latest assignment, they may be attached to old furniture or enjoy being camped out in fusty, seldom used wardrobes.

If these stories have ignited a dark suspicion in you that you may have a ghostly mischief maker in residence, get out your pendulum and find out more. Start by opening up and airing the place. Begin clearing the clut-ter – which is also the first rule of good Feng Shui. If you need assistance in removing your ghostly guests, I shall be happy to help, however will be overseas during the second half of April and all of May.

Why not, using your dowsing skills, have a go at changing the earth ra-diation by using the Celtic Stone method, which has been explained in the Dowsers newsletter in March 2013, and then do some ghost busting of your own!

When’s Yer Man Coming Back?By Dianne White

Reprinted from the British Society of Dowsers, June 1999

The words ‘water’ and ‘Ireland’ have a strong affinity. So it was

surprising to find myself in an area where water is carried in containers. Not that there was a shortage of the stuff but, like the ancient mariner’s problem, it just wasn’t drinkable.

Until a few years ago, coal mining was the local occupation, and water draining through old workings makes streams near most houses far from crystal clear, sometimes the colour of stewed tea.

The few clear spring wells are frequently used, proving that there is pure water to be found.

A company offered to drill for a flat fee, but with no guarantee of quality. I knew dowsing was the answer, having used it to find and date things, but lacked confidence. Being keen to improve my dowsing, the ideal so-lution was to find a dowser to do the job in hand and also give me some tuition.

After days of fruitless search, I was becoming convinced that such a para-gon did not exist. Then I was given a number in the city of Antrim, and when I heard the friendly voice at the other end, I knew my troubles were over.

Not only would Billy Gawn come and dowse the well, but would stay a

Page 13: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

whole weekend. When he and his lovely wife May arrived, it took only a short time for me to realise how much I had to learn. My head was spin-ning with thoughts of underground water and energies which seemed to go in any direction I could think of, and more besides.

Billy searched field after field and found the spot quality and quantity. Days later the digger arrived. I thought the operator would be familiar with well digging, but it was first time for us both. I told him to expect rock at 4-5 feet, probably only a boulder, and then water at 15 feet. He smiled a little too much, I thought, and climbed into the cab.

Three, four feet and then the bang of bucket on stone! A little scraping, then the bucket came up with a boulder filling it. So far, so good. After more digging, Tommy left the cab to measure the depth of the bone-dry hole. Was this the type of ground he would expect to yield a spring? No. We measure the depth - 12 feet. Only a few more feet, I assure him. More smiles.

Suddenly, powdery earth becomes slatey stone and very wet! Through the slate, about 18 inches, and a few more feet so the water comes from the sides of the hole. We measure 15 feet to the inch. All around the slate layer are streams of crystal clear water. The pump, to keep the hole emp-ty while the concrete rings go in, can barely cope.

Now, thanks to Billy, I have a well of pure water to serve two houses, and a burning ambition to learn more about all types of dowsing and earth energies. What did the locals think of the antics? In an area where the council piped water comes from “a bog-hole by the graveyard”, and others pump from rivers, good wells are needed.

But dowsing or ‘divining’ as it is called here was treated with some scepti-cism before Billy arrived. Did our demonstration change attitudes? I think so, judging by the question I’ve been asked on more than one oc-casion “When’s yer man coming back?” Around here, that’s praise indeed.

The Spiral of TranquilityBy Michael Poynder

British Society of Dowsers, Sept 1997

Wing Commander Clive Beadon died last year on 16th September,

after a long illness and surviving several traumatic operations.

He was well known to the Society for his work as an intuitive dowser, using crys-tals to balance earth energies, and the microwave electrical vibrations that modern homes are inundated with by such powerful instruments as TVs, computers, ovens, mobile telephones, and overhead power cables.

Over a period of 25 years, after his service with distinction as an RAF Officer during the war, he devoted his time and dowsing ability to pro-duce a device he called ‘The Spiral of Tranquility’, in which he incorpo-rated eight gem stones of various qualities, colours, vibrations, and re-fractive values. On June 6th 1996 he perfected his device with the 56th model of the Spiral, announcing that he had finally achieved all he set out to do, to rebalance into harmony all the vagrant energies normally found within the home, factory, office or farmyard.

In the early years of the development of the Spiral he was assisted by Mr Geoffrey King, and latterly also by myself - both also members of the BSD and both happy to have worked with a ‘Master Dowser’.

When Clive Beadon died, his widow Jane asked me to take over the Spi-ral, which I agreed to do. Having been a gemmologist for over 30 years, and a dowser, and being used to applying crystal energies to the clearing of environmental stress in the home and body, this was an easy transi-

Page 15: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017 Page 15

tion.

The background to Clive Bead-on’s work was his aim to re-create an Earth Star pattern ‘grid’, as he called it, in the environment.

Originally, the natural environ-mental energy lines formed a web-like net of geometrically shaped ‘star’ patterns, interlock-ing with each other to form a fine unseen energy network around the world.

At some time in the past, undoubtedly due to the activities and inven-tions of mankind, the balance of these patterns was disturbed, resulting in the network disintegrating to form unbalanced energy lines over large areas of the Earth’s surface. In remote areas of the globe, over deserts and oceans, parts of the original network still exist.

Where these unbalanced lines of energy occur in concentrations, they can give rise to discomfort and disquiet, impinging on an individual’s subconscious mind. Humans and animals seem to become subject to stress symptoms, and where this occurs, general health and sleep patterns often appear to be affected.

Apart from the disturbed Earth Energies, mankind, through the inven-tion of electricity, has unwittingly created other energies which we en-counter in our everyday lives, affecting some, though not all of us. We are well informed of the electromagnetic fields around our computer and television screens, microwave ovens and fluorescent lighting; but it is the energy fields in particular, and distinct from these which reach out to our subconscious minds over much greater distances, distracting our thoughts and concentration.

Page 16: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

For example, the twin beam-like rays from the front and back of a television set or com-puter monitor can easily be picked up and identified by a dowser, and registered by some sensitive people over a distance of some 50 to 100 or more feet from the source.

Well-known electrical fields exist under py-lons and cables of the National Grid system. Unbalanced Earth Energy lines crossing through these strong fields ac-quire some of the Grid’s characteristics, carrying them many miles fur-ther afield. When a house lies on the track of these particular energies, the occupants of the property can feel restless and under constant pres-sure.

Sleeping above an underground source of running water, a cause of trou-bled sleep, could result in growing anxiety, and where the source is pol-luted, be it an underground flow of water, or a water-table, the body’s immune system can be affected over a period of time, leading to ill health.

By re-balancing these vagrant forces and locking them back into their original ‘star’ pattern, and also by neutralising and dispersing others, the environment can be cleared of these pollutions, and the stress sources permanently removed.

Ed notes: Michael became a very dear friend, he introduced my wife and me to the mysteries of Rennes-Le-Chateau in South France and guided us to sev-eral of the Templar castles.

I did purchase a Spiral of Tranquility as well as a pendant containing the same stones, from Stafford and Maggie Lowe at the time. I still have them both. I use the pendant when I fly overseas and the Spiral sits proudly in our lounge room. I can recommend both.

Oil Under the MedwayBy Fred Saunders

Reprinted from Devon Dowsers, December 1995

The following is a true account of my first real dowsing experience.

I first attended a dowsing class with Devon Dowsers in January 1994. I had always been very sceptical about dowsing and treated it with a great element of disbelief, but my better half, Sue Read, wanted to do it and asked me if I would keep her company.

I remember John walking across the room and showing how the rods worked. Like all the others, I tried it and the stupid rods did not work!!

I had one other lesson at Okehampton, and I remember at this one a young lady challenging me to find a metal plate in her body. To my com-plete surprise, I found it and was able to describe it and its position in her leg!!

There was something in this dowsing, but I could not understand it. In January I started a contract on the River Medway in Kent, to dig a deep trench in the river bed and install 8ft x 6in pipes across it. I am an under-water and civil engineering contractor.

We set up the dredger for the excavations and marked out the route we had been given. I then decided to try out the rods to see if there were any old pipes or cables on the line of our excavations (much to the disgust of my son who was working with me).

I had been practicing with the rods on drains and electric cables with some success at home. To my surprise, I got very strong readings, 12 in all, in the area we were to dig.

What do I do about it? I went to the other side of the river and picked up the lines again. By boat I then went across the river with the rods and

Page 18: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Page 18 Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017

was able to trace the lines with amazing clarity.

So what did I have? I had 12 of something across the river and in the route of where I was to excavate.

By this time, my son was firmly convinced that his Dad had finally gone mad.

I would not let work start until I knew what they were. The customer, who had all the records, etc. and who had carried out tests with modern equipment, insisted there was nothing under the ground.

The job had been held up for two days by now and I was beginning to doubt my findings as well - and it was costing more than £3,000.00 a day for the delay.

I wanted to get an expert dowser to verify my findings, and so contacted the British Society of Dowsers for a local dowser. I explained the situa-tion and they put me in touch with one of their members in London. For the record, they were very understanding and helpful.

Their local member was very helpful and explained to me how to estab-

Page 19: Dowsers Society of NSW Inc. Newsletter June 2017 New… · river to end 1800kms later in Saint-Petersburg, on the Gulf of Finland. The river goes through many artificial lakes, and

Dowsers Society of NSW – June 2017 Page 19

lish depth, size and contents of pipes (because of this contract I had missed that part of John's classes in Okehampton).

This dowser was unable to come down but asked me to fax him a map of the site. Within an hour he phoned me back to say that he had found pipes, not as many as I, as well as a large pipe a little further upstream.

This was my first experience of map dowsing and I honestly could not see how it could work. I went on to the site again, a little further upstream, and got a very strong reading.

By using his methods I established it was a 2ft 6ins steel pipe, and when I followed its route with the rods through the rough undergrowth, I found a manhole. On removing this we found a 2ft 6ins steel sewer!!

Perhaps there was something in map dowsing, after all!!

I went back and, with his methods, established that my 12 pipes were 4in steel and had a substance very high in oil in them. But they were deep, some 12ft below the river bed - more or less the depth we had to dig.

I took this information to the customer who, by this time had carried out major searches of all past records and had found nothing.

They were convinced they were dealing with a ‘nutter’ with two bits of welding rod. I had held up the job for four days by now, at a cost of some £12,000.00. They decided that to get the job going they would let me alter the route to miss my imaginary oil pipes.

In due course, the job was successfully completed, having been careful to avoid my imaginary pipes. It was a standing joke and I took a lot of stick from all about it.

I must admit I doubted myself because we never found any physical signs of the pipes. I put the rods away and promised myself I would never use them again, as I had become the laughing stock of a lot of people.

That should have been the end of the story.

But five weeks after we left the site I received a phone message from our customers to apologise to me and to thank me.

It had come to light that before the last war, the Government had in-stalled oil pipes across the Medway here to underground storage tanks on the other side of the river and, although the pipes had all been capped and sealed, they still had oil in them.

That was some nine months ago. I still do not know how the rods worked, but they do fantastic things for me now. I use them in my work as a diver and am able to find wrecks with them, submarine cables and points of the compass.

They will find missing objects and answer questions of the past. I do not really want to know how they work, I just enjoy them and am still quite shocked and elated when they do work.

As a point of interest, I never read a single page about dows-ing and am quite happy to let the rods teach me as I go along.

By the way, they work very well underwater and I spend a lot of my time now diving with the rods!!

Beginners’ & Refresher Dowsing Seminar

“Give Dowsing a whirl, it could change your life!”

Sunday July 30th, 2017

- with Tutor Maggie Lowe -

Dowsing is a means of accessing information, using a pendulum, via your body’s own natural electro-magnetic sensitivity in answer to a

clearly defined question.

At this relaxed, hands-on, interactive, practical seminar, beginning dows-ers will learn the basics of ‘what, why, how and when’ from Maggie Lowe who is an experienced tutor.

If you are a dowser already but feel a bit ‘wobbly’, not confident in your ability or your pendulum ‘doesn’t seem to be reliable’ these issues will be addressed.

Dowsing is a valuable life tool which will assist you to find answers to:

• Health and other issues for family, pets and livestock. How to plan good strategies for better health outcomes, both mainstream and com-plementary.

• Which foods harm or heal and how to choose those most suitable for you.

• Whether your home affects your health.

• Work and business and community questions.

• Determining the truth of situations and how to cut through the ‘spin’ in daily life.

• Finding lost objects, people, pets and underground water.

• Life’s path questions

• Be more in tune with nature and save money in your gardening.

• How to use natural energies to enhance your life in ways you never dreamed of!

Learn how to ask the right questions to produce accurate answers, par-ticipate in activities to build your dowsing confidence, learn to make and use dowsing charts and experience other tools such as divining rods and bobbers.

You will be shown other aspects of dowsing and the use of natural, subtle energies... for your own investigation later. But the main aim is to learn the basics, so you leave the Seminar as a confident dowser with a smile on your face, your world changed forever.

Give dowsing a whirl, it could change your life!

Book Review:

Dowsing For Cures: an A-Z Directory by Wilma Davidson

Amazon description:Dowsing for Cures is a must in every home as this book is crammed full of val-uable information about a wide range of illnesses, possible cures and treatments including rain forest medicines and min-erals.

In each page you will find simple expla-nations to enable you to diagnose illness and find the most beneficial remedies to reduce symptoms.

This book contains basic lessons on dows-ing to enable you to become confident when using the pendulum. Although the book is written as an A-Z for dowsers, those who do not dowse will also find the information on ill-nesses absolutely invaluable as most health problems are covered, includ-ing information on infertility, impotence, chemicals in the blood, de-pression, heart problems, schizophrenia, sleep problems and cancer.

As well as her knowledge of earth energies, Wilma is a metaphysician who has twenty years experience as a spiritual healer. In her book Dows-ing for Cures she brings warmth and compassion to the subject of illness by offering simple treatments and practical advice which is natural and free. Helen

Speaker for July 18th, 2017Elina Doronkina

- Healing with Prangana -

Elina will be introducing her own healing approach which she calls

‘Prangana’.

Prangana is a mix of two names, Pranic and Pagan. It is naturally based on Pran-ic (vital energy) and Pagan healing tech-niques. It introduces and explains the strong connections between Earth, Moon, Sun and Universe cycles and our body, energy, emotions and mind.

Elina will talk about the principles of the Pranic system of chakras which is more than 2000 years old, and is a very powerful tool in healing; as well as about Pagan ways of living and healing which are even older than Pranic or Reiki system. Paganism involves deep knowledge, understanding and use of numerous healing techniques and rituals based on the cycles of the Universe, the Moon and Earth. The combined approaches of the Prangana system removes sources of problems, heals chakras, the body and improves life, finances and career.

The techniques are very easy to use: they help to positively change your life and improve health; learn how to live and breathe in ac-cordance with Moon and Earth, stay healthy and happy on all levels: energetic, emotional, mental, spiritual and physical. Her system teaches how to heal without drugs or medicine.
