Heretical Insights to Successful Dowsing for Healthy Living
September 11th at The Divine Science Community Center in San Jose
Some 15 years ago Bill Mundy was introduced to dowsing as a method to determine the health of chakras. At the time this as well as many alternative practices he later studied was little more than a hobby. Primarily Bill was an engineer, sales, marketing and operations manager for the high tech industry of Silicon Valley. Five years ago, Bill began devoting himself full time to the healing arts.
Today Bill Mundy has fused his knowledge, expertise, and approach to high tech with the cornucopia of alternative practices that he has studied. This synthesis is a unique approach to self-healing with remarkable results beyond any other practice available today. Itâs simple to understand, easily implemented and provides immediate results.
The foundation for this Self Healing approach is Dowsing. In a sense, Bill has come full circle. Unlike a true circle, rather than ending where he began, he has developed a unique and fresh look at Dowsing.
Traditional Dowsers with hard fast ideas of what Dowsing is—be ready for some interesting "ah-ha" moments as you will find more clarity and possibly a new way to talk about Dowsing.
More than just re-framing Dowsing, Bill will introduce five aspects of Successful Dowsing for Healthy Living. He will describe the basic procedures heâs adapted for each aspect and lead impromptu healing demonstrations illustrating each of his points.
So bring your health issues, questions and doubts: everything from pains to supplements. You'll have an opportunity to examine what you've been doing and begin to take a new approach to being healthy. These methods are compatible with all other techniques; although you may begin to question why you bother! Healers of any discipline are welcome, they will find an opportunity to increase their effectiveness and improve their client satisfaction.
At the close of the talk, there will be a special offer made to those in attendance for discounted consultations with Bill Mundy. You must be present to win. For more information: please visit http://mundyim4health.com, or call toll free: (877) 762-6179.

Donna Lee Powers will present
"Handwriting Changes That Open You To Your Highest Potential"
One day I asked to what extent I was living up to my potential (on a scale of 0-100). Dowsing gave me the answer, and when I asked how I could improve that score I was told, "Live each day with joy in your heart."
If we maximize our potential, we are living our joy. If you would like to design your life rather than react to it, we will explore how the 26 alphabet tools and dowsing play well together (if you practice!) to maximize your highest potential. Every pen stroke reinforces shifts in neural brain patterning so by intentionally changing the design of the letters, their size and/or spacing, you can access the unconscious and support a new, conscious agenda. Who wouldn't want to improve their score in the game of life?
Like many dowsers, Donna-Lee pursued many healing modalities for most of her adult life. Her intuitive abilities as a reader/channel developed directly as a result of her work as a dowser combined with 5 years of intense study and application of Vimala Rodger's handwriting technology. Highly recommended reading are Vimala's Change Your Handwriting, Change Your Life and Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life.

THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Shirley speaks
Fall has arrived which means it's time to come together again for great speakers, delicious food and warm friendships with our dowsing family. The first thing on the agenda is the annual election of officers. Don Harmon has decided to step down as Vice President, but will continue on as refreshment coordinator. No one could do a better job, so thank you Don for the great snacks.
Congratulations to the Tucson Chapter for receiving the Chapter of the Year Award and also to Brian and Maggie Disbury on receiving the Chapter Membership Award this year.
Please remember to vote in November. If you need to register or apply for an absentee ballot, visit www.ss.ca.gov/elections/elections.htm.
For those of you who really enjoy dowsing and would like to put it to good use, you may want to participate in the Dowsers Search and Rescue Society.
Dowsers Search And Rescue Society by Frank Jordan
Of all the potential uses of dowsing, I can think of none that is more important to the general public than helping to locate missing persons. Joe Telleria, a computer expert, and I have developed a system which can alert authorities immediately of a potential area to search. This is how the DSRS Quick Alert System works.
1. A search request comes in, and DSRS finds the general location of the missing person on a set of base maps.
2. A GPS anchor point, in the search area, is sent by E-mail to the dowsers on the Alert list.
3. They dowse, and E-mail back their GPS coordinate hits.
4. DSRS charts the hits and forwards the map to the authorities in that locality.
In follow up, when a case is closed, the dowsers are informed of the accuracy of their hits. Positive feedback will allow DSRS to further develop training techniques that can improve the skills of participating dowsers, and which can be applied in local ASD Chapters for teaching dowsing.
I invite anyone who has a successful track record in map dowsing or Search and Rescue to contact me. Your skill and experience is much needed. More information is available on my web site: www.psi-tronics.com; Email: DSRS@cableone.com. (This article, in its entirety, can be found on page 54 of the Spring 2004 issue of The American Dowser Quarterly Digest.)
I found this very interesting when I read it in "Voices of the New Earth." An experiment was done last year by the Institute of Heart Math where some human placenta DNA (the most pristine form of DNA) was placed in a container from which they could measure changes in the DNA. Twenty-eight vials of DNA were given (one each) to 28 trained researchers. Each researcher had been trained how to generate and FEEL feelings, and they each had strong emotions. What was discovered was that THE DNA CHANGED ITS SHAPE according to the feelings of the researchers.
When the researchers felt gratitude, love and appreciation, the DNA responded by relaxing and the strands unwound; the length of the DNA became longer. When the researchers felt anger, fear, frustration or stress, the DNA responded by tightening up; it became shorter and switched off many of the codes. The shut down of the DNA codes was switched back on again when feelings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation were felt by the researchers.
This experiment was later followed up by testing HIV positive patients. They discovered that feelings of love, gratitude and appreciation created 300,000 times the resistance they had without those feelings. So here's the answer to what can help you stay well, no matter what dreadful virus or bacteria may be floating around. Stay in feelings of joy, love, appreciation and gratitude. These emotional changes went beyond the effects of electro-magnetics. This energy appears to be a tightly woven web that connects all matter. Essentially we are able to influence this web of creation through our VIBRATION, which includes our thoughts, words, deeds and intentions. You can read more about the Heart Math Center at www.heartmath.org.
This falls in line with an experiment you may want to participate in called, "A Global Experiment in Love and Communication." On Saturday, September 18, 2004, lightworkers around the globe are invited to join together to take part in a scientific experiment. Under the auspices of Measurements Research Inc., an independent laboratory in Providence, Rhode Island, and in conjunction with their hosting partners, they will be presenting a global experiment to scientifically monitor the effects of human emotion on specified target objects.
The data collected will be used as the basis for a scientific study and subsequently published paper to the scientific community. To accommodate different time zones, this experiment will be conducted on two separate occasions at 11:00am and 4:00pm US Pacific Time for 25 minutes duration.
The purpose of this experiment is two-fold: First, to introduce and substantiate the veracity of certain metaphysical concepts to the satisfaction of the scientific community. Second, to activate a new form of global telepathic communication, which is called "The Web of Love."
We have been aware that many of the new children being born on Earth have a way of communicating telepathically. Some spiritual teachers have labeled this ÎThe Web.' It has been suggested that the collective vibration of humans is now high enough to sustain this form of communication on a worldwide scale. All we have to do to activate this web is to join together with focused intent to transmit love and healing energy. This experiment will enable us, not only to accomplish the very first activation, but also to scientifically measure and prove the effects on humans.
The actual protocol of what will take place is now posted on the web at: www.lightworker.com/WebofLove. "When we all hold hands we can change the world·" Lightworker is a non-profit corporation dedicated to spreading Light through Empowerment. (858) 748-5837.
Yes, there is much we can do as dowsers and light workers to make this a better world for ourselves and for future generations, and best of all, we've been chosen to do it!
In love and light, Shirley
Where there's a will there's a way. Every day:
Drink enough water
Omit negativity
Walk outdoors
Stop procrastinating
Enjoy your life
