Walt Woods will present the information obtained from literally thousands of interviews and scientificresearch projects over the past 40 years. Research information giving possible clues as to how and whythe dowsing system may work will be discussed, as well as what may block it, and the many areas where itmay be used. The Subtle Energy Research Institute, cofounded by Walt and Ralph Squire, state, "Dowsingis coupling our minds to the Universal Mind to get 'unknown' information of any nature.” Walt’s lecture willbring home the versatility of the unique tool of dowsing.

Walt Woods, is a life member and past President of the American Society of Dowsers, a charter and lifemember of the Ozark Research Institute, and a retired college science instructor. He has done researchrelated to dowsing since the early 1970’s. Walt has lectured on dowsing and similar topics all over the U.S.and Canada. He is the author of “Letter to Robin a Mini-Course in Pendulum Dowsing” now in sixlanguages, used in many places around the world. “The Companion Student Guide with Teachers Syllabus”and a “Personal Dowsing” booklet. Dowsing allows one to gain personal knowledge that is beneficial tohealth and longevity.

Workshop: The Power of Dowsing--Contributing to Health and Longevity

Time: November 27th, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Place: Masonic Lodge, 146 Main Street, Los Altos

Donations: $60 for FMBR members, $70 for non-members

The Workshop will focus on using the power of dowsing in many fascinating areas. Areas include affectingbacteria, viruses, genes, evaluating nutrients, noxious energies, finding and moving water underground, thelatest research and development in soil conditions and management, and more. Also included are aspectsof your personal energy fields and your protection, both up close and at a distance. There will be ahandout with updated instructions (“programs”) for your dowsing system, which we can install, if you wish. The workshop is designed to be as interesting and inspiring for beginners as for advanced and experienceddowsers.

My Introduction to DowsingJerry Gin, Chairman

Two years ago the only thing I knew about dowsing was the common knowledge that certain gifted folks who usedforked sticks could find water. That all changed when I went to a spoon bending PK party and was given a pendulum.I was told to calibrate my pendulum to be able to say “yes” or “no” (you learned about this if you had gone to the PKspoon bending party on Oct 29th). To be able to tap into universal knowledge or knowledge from your own higher selfto get answers on almost any question was astonishing to me. Just about everyone in the spoon bending party wasable to get the pendulum to say “yes” and “no” – so this is not a gift of the few, but a phenomenon that just abouteveryone has (we are all “gifted”).

The above incident was the beginning of my sojourn into the world of expanded knowledge through dowsing. I went toa monthly San Jose Dowsing Society meeting (http://www.dowserswestcoast.org/sanjose/) and was taught how to useother tools such as the L-rod to look for water. Again, everyone in the room could do this, including myself, after justlearning how to hold the L-rod. Next, I met Pete Warburton at Starbucks in Cupertino who teaches people to usedowsing for healing purposes (he does this every Saturday and Sunday at noon). This opened up the world of healingwith this versatile tool. I then met another very gifted lady who does feng shui and can use the dowsing tools to lookfor negative energies that need clearing. I then learned that the American Society of Dowsers (www.dowsers.org )had a week long series of courses for dowsers at Santa Cruz University during the 4th of July holidays. I took WaltWoods workshop on "Dowsing and Longevity” and was again amazed at the many uses for the wonderful tool ofdowsing. By that time I had already read his “bible” of dowsing, Letter to Robin (concise and easy to read; you will geta copy when you take his workshop). At the course, Walt taught us a “personal dowsing system” which expanded theuniverse of answers one can get with dowsing. My next major step in dowsing came when we invited Robert Gilbertto talk about “ Egyptian and European Vibrational Research: Discovering the Keys to Life and Healing”. His talk andworkshop opened up a whole new world of looking at use of dowsing as a tool to explore vibrational energies – this istruly pioneering work with huge ramifications. At that meeting, I met Ralph Squire who heads up the Subtle EnergyResearch Institute to generate awareness on subtle energy. I am now on his emailing list to receive a lot of fascinatinginformation; in one of his emails he gives the link to a compendium of information on dowsing: http://seri-worldwide.org/dowsing.html .

My wife got convinced about the utility of dowsing when she had put away an envelope with some cash in it and spentdays looking for the envelope. I took out my pendulum and went through the rooms of the house and asked if it was ineach of the rooms. The pendulum eventually brought me to the bedroom. I asked if it was in a particular chest ofdrawers. It said “yes”. Then I asked if it was in the top drawer and it said “yes”. I opened the drawer, lifted up theclothes and the missing envelope was there!

DowsingWilliam C. Gough, Co-Founder & CEO Emeritus

The history of dowsing is as old as humanity. "The writings of Confucius (2500 B.C.) mention dowsing. A statue ofChinese Emperor Kwang Yu (2200 B.C.) portrays him holding a forked stick (commonly used for dowsing). Similarly,the oldest Egyptian stone drawings and carvings show men in exotic headdresses holding forked sticks orpendulums." (Innerfeld, 2010)

I find dowsing to be an amplification of the body's response to input received from the "Absolute," the "CosmicConsciousness," the Akashic Field." the "Universal Mind" or whatever name you give to that oneness that so manyhave experienced. Dowsing is a helpful tool for obtaining information and guidance from that oneness. However, it isnot necessary for receiving such intuitive feedback. In practice meaningful results will be critically dependent upon: 1)One's ability to successfully link into the "Cosmic Consciousness." Doubts or negative thoughts/beliefs greatly weakenthis ability. This is why children are most often more successful. They have not yet acquired as many strong beliefs inwhat is possible or not possible. 2) The clarity and sincerity of the question you are dowsing. The question is yourrequest and instructions to the "Cosmic Consciousness." If the question is not clear with sincere intent, the feedbackresponse you receive will not be accurate. Dowsing is traditionally employed to locate ground water, buried metals orores, etc. From the Foundation's perspective we have focused upon the use of dowsing as a helping tool for guidingimprovements in your body, emotions and spiritual life.

The Foundation for Mind-Being Research was established in1980 to assist in the evolution of consciousness studies and tohelp bring this new field into wider recognition as a bona fidescience. The interdisciplinary nature of the field is reflected in theactivities of the organization and in the breadth of interests of itsmembers who currently represent areas of engineering, science,medicine, the humanities, and the arts. With its major focus onfacilitating the development of an integrated model ofconsciousness, the Foundation provides encouragement andresources to a rather unique group of creative researchers andscientists with the objective of betterment of the individual, thesociety, and the environment.

Because of the special nature of scientific inquiry in this area,the Foundation is interested in building its regular membershipwith competent individuals who:

▪ Are open to a multidisciplinary approach to knowledge▪ Recognize they are an integral part of any experiment▪ Know and are prepared to extend their own levelconsciousness

The intention is to develop high standards of credibility in allresearch activities and publications.
