Dowsing helping in difficult times……….

I published this 6 years ago as method of using the dowsing effect to save on your heating bills. Since then, heating Bills have drastically increased. So, I thought it a good idea to send it out again at the start of the winter. I used this technique again a couple of weeks ago. 

History

Dowsing can help in many areas and is adaptable to our current needs in these worrying times.  And surprisingly, it can be used to increase the temperature of your home thus saving you money on your fuel bills!  In 1982 the late A.P. Tabraham published a booklet on Solar Energy & Dowsing in the Isles of Scilly.  This was followed by an addendum in 1992. The booklets document the research and methods used by farmers to raise the soil temperature in order to get their flowers to bloom in time for the lucrative Christmas market. Traditionally they had burnt straw in mid summer on the growing area and for an unknown reason this had the desired effect. Eventually this became uneconomical, and they experimented with other methods such as using gas burners and polythene sheeting with limited success, the research continued, and it was found that using dowsing rods it was possible to detect the areas that had been burnt over in June when dowsing in January to the exact inch! Experiments found an increase in soil temperature in these areas of plus 2 degrees F. They were able to confirm through research that the dowsing effect was linked to the temperature rise in the soil and that it was long lasting into the winter. After an unusual period of snow, they came to the conclusion that the dowsing effect caused the temperature rise and was able to protect the plants during cold weather. It was also found that metal could conduct this dowsing effect and could drain it away. 

Method

As it was now clear the dowsing effect was causing the rise in temperature. Research into dowsing literature was conducted and it was discovered that all that is required is to draw out a five-sided figure, a Pentagon. It can be drawn with a pen on paper, a stick on the ground, or just by marking five points on the ground to form the outline of a Pentagon while walking round a large field or the outside of your home and/or garden. The essential thing is that the first point must be touched again to complete the Pentagon; if even the smallest gap is left no dowsing effect is produced. So, check it immediately with your dowsing rods. One Pentagon equals one burning over (see history above) which produces a temperature rise of 2 degrees F. To gain the maximum temperature raise a total of five pentagrams need to be created covering the same area and your house and garden will be warmer in 7-14 days with the maximum temperature raise after 14 days. However, you need to beware that sticking a mercury thermometer or a ferrous metal object into the ground may remove part or all of the dowsing effect as discovered by the Scilly Isles farmers. 

Practicalities

I have used this method with other dowsers over the years on and off and usually managed a 2 degrees C temperature increase but haven’t always made the 5 Pentagrams. Often it is not possible to walk right around your home on the outside if it is semi detached or a flat for example, in which case draw a plan of you’re building then draw in the Pentagram enclosing the area you wish the temperature raised, following the same rules making sure there are five points and they all join precisely then repeat four more times and keep your plan some where safe. Then check with your rods on site to make sure the dowsing effect is detectable on the area covered in your plan. Whether you make your Pentagram on site or on your plan it does not have to be symmetrical you just need five points all joined, not forgetting to touch the first point again when you finish either on site or on your plan. You will need to repeat the process every year. 

Action

So, there you are, go and try it! It works for the Scilly Isles farmers and helps them get their flowers to market early. The scientific evidence is documented in the booklets already mentioned.   Let me know how you get in the comments below, so maybe we can improve the results by learning from each other. There has never been a greater need to cut our heating bills!
