Dowsing is an ancestral practice that consists of using a pendulum as a support for observation and research. For generations, it has been used by dowsers, geobiologists and wellness practitioners to explore what some call the vibratory levels of a place, object, food or person.

At WellforLife, we consider dowsing as a great tool for developing feelings and intuition. It is part of a traditional energy approach and in no way replaces medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

The pendulum: an extension of your feelings

Contrary to popular belief, many dowsers do not consider that “the pendulum responds”. For them, the pendulum is only an amplifier of the practitioner’s feelings.

The objective is to achieve a state of inner calm, to put one’s mind back and to make oneself available to what certain traditions call the universal energy, the informational field or the intelligence of the living.

In this approach, the pendulum becomes an extension of your perception. The intuitively perceived information would cause a succession of totally unconscious muscle contractions in the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm. These micro-movements are then amplified by the pendulum which begins to turn, oscillate or pendulum.

This phenomenon is also known in psychology under the name of the ideomotor effect, an involuntary mechanism studied since the 19th century. Dowser practitioners, however, give him different interpretations: some see it mainly as the expression of the subconscious, while others consider it to reflect a connection to broader energy information.

Regardless of the approach chosen, good practice is based on five essential elements:

• a calm mind;
• a clear intention;
• a specific question;
• a neutral attitude;
• regular practice.

What is a vibrational level?

In energy practices, the vibratory level represents the energy quality attributed to a living being, a place or an object.

Bovis units are the most commonly used scale in French-speaking dowsing. They do not correspond to a recognized scientific unit, but to a traditional landmark used by many practitioners.

The WELLFORLIFE dial takes up the most frequently used tracks:

• 0 to 6,500 UB: Negative / Toxic
• 6,500 to 13,000 UB: low astral
• 13,000 to 18,000 UB: positive physical plane (good vitality)
• 18,000 to 30,000 UB: energy plan
• Beyond 30,000 UB: Spiritual Plan

These values come from the dowsing tradition and constitute work benchmarks for many practitioners.

Notre Cadeau : Le Cadran WellForLife

In order to accompany you in your practice, we put our dial Wellforlife free of charge.

It has been designed to offer a clear, intuitive and pleasant reading of the pendulum, while taking up the main landmarks used in traditional dowsing.

How to use the pendulum?

1. Define your mental convention

Before any session, take your pendulum and ask him mentally:

• “Show me the yes. »
• “Show me the no. »
• “Show me the search. »

Each person usually gets different movements. It is important to always use your own conventions.

2. Get ready

Sit in a quiet place.

Take a deep breath for a few moments.

Release tensions and let your mind subside.

The more relaxed you are, the easier your feelings will be.

3. Place the pendulum

Position the pendulum above the small circle in the center of the dial.

Keep the arm supple and the wrist relaxed.

The pendulum must be perfectly free of its movements.

4. Ask a single question

For example:

• What is the vibrational level of this part?
• What is the vibrational level of this water?
• What is the vibrational level of this plant?
• What is the vibrational level of this food?

Avoid asking multiple questions simultaneously.

The more specific your question, the easier the interpretation will be.

5. Let the movement settle

Two methods are commonly used.

First method: the motionless departure

Place the perfectly still pendulum above the center of the dial.

After asking your question, let it set in motion naturally, without intervening.

Then observe which value or area it is oriented towards.

Second method: the start in oscillation

Deliberately oscillate the pendulum back and forth with regular amplitude.

Once the movement has stabilized, ask your question.

Without trying to influence its direction, let the pendulum gradually modify its orientation.

In many practitioners, it ends up stably oscillating in a direction corresponding to a precise value or range of the dial.

This method has the advantage of making reading smoother and faster.

In both cases, the role of the dowser consists simply of observing the movement with neutrality, then reading the value indicated on the dial.

6. Check your reading

It is advisable to take a second measurement.

If the two results are close, the dowsers generally consider that the reading is more consistent.

Which pendulum to choose?

This is probably the question that comes up most often during training.

In reality, the best pendulum is the one with which you get the most consistent results.

Each practitioner gradually develops their preferences.

Metal pendulums

Brass, copper, bronze or steel offer:

• excellent stability;
• good inertia;
• high precision;
• Very good durability.

They are often the best choice to start.

The wooden pendulums

Lighter, they are appreciated for their natural appearance.

They are often used during work on plants, animals or in the middle of nature.

Natural stone pendulums

They associate the practice of dowsing with the traditions of lithotherapy.

Among the most used:

• Rock crystal: amplification and versatility.
• Amethyst: intuition and meditation.
• Rose quartz: emotional harmony.
• Labradorite: Energy protection.
• Tiger’s Eye: Anchoring and Confidence.
• Obsidian: Introspection.
• Green aventurine: emotional balance.

These properties come from the traditions of lithotherapy and are not scientifically demonstrated.

The control clocks

They allow you to insert a photograph, a strand of hair or another control used in some remote search methods.

Thoth’s pendulum

Among the most famous models is Thoth’s pendulum, inspired by the Egyptian tradition.

Thoth is the god of knowledge, writing, wisdom and sacred sciences.

According to the radiesthetic tradition, its particular geometry would give it excellent stability and great fineness in reading.

It is very popular for:

• dial research;
• vibratory levels;
• geobiology;
• energy care;
• remote searches.

As with all pendulums, these properties are based on the traditions and experience of practitioners and are not scientifically established.

Some practical tips

• Always work calmly.
• Hydrate yourself properly before a session.
• Ask one question at a time.
• Never try to control the movement of the pendulum.
• Take notes to track your observations.
• Trust your feelings while keeping a critical mind.

A practice that is refined with experience

Dowsing is above all a discipline of observation, patience and training.

Over time, everyone develops a better quality of presence, refines their feelings and learns to ask ever more precise questions.

The WELLFORLIFE dial was designed to accompany this progression, whether it’s discovering dowsing or enriching a practice already established.

We are happy to offer it to you and hope that it will accompany you in your research, your experiments and your personal development.
