Spiritual Growth In Your Daily Life
On Saturday, March 12, Pat Dornik will be speaking on "Spiritual
Growth In Your Daily Life."
The focus of this talk is to offer a series of exercises that activate the heart chakra into greater levels of Light and understanding through balancing the energies of the mind levels. This opens the pathways to work with heart chakra alignment by opening the higher emotional frequencies at the second chakra that work with Love (subconscious magnetic vibrations) alignment at the heart.
It is vital to understand that as we grow, we begin to integrate greater levels of Light into our daily lives. Techniques for clearing and communication change as we grow into a higher level of light (initiation/learning) evolution. As our soul work evolves we grow in consciousness and abilities so that we can work within our own light field for greater understanding. We can then gain access to release/clear ourselves of elements that keep us from experiencing the light code within our consciousness. Our consciousness is learning to understand, remember and work toward accepting itself as part of its own God Self. When we are ready to receive, and as we accept this fuller, richer Light in our life, we will ultimately become the Light.
WORKSHOP: "Calibrated Energy Therapy,"
Sunday, March 13th
at Barry Smith's home from 10 am to 5 pm for $65 for members, $80 for nonmembers.
Pat is also available for personal consultations
on March 10th and 11th.
For more information, please call (408) 238-1301. A map to Barry's will be available at the Chapter meeting.
WORKSHOP BENEFITS:
Understanding and experiencing how to work with your level of light. Learning to work with the changes that each light step brings. Recognizing when you have accessed a higher level of light, when your current tools are not working and when you need to update.
Pat has been doing metaphysical work for the last 30 years and is familiar with mediumship, channeling, energy work, psychometry, and crystal/stone vibrational work as a clairvoyant. Her left palm carries the insignia of the eye in front of a chalice and her right hand carries the crossed heart. She works with many levels of dimensional information in her private sessions with energy work
Dowsing the Human Gene
On Saturday, April 9th, Walt Woods will be speaking on "Dowsing the
Human Gene"
This talk covers the simple basic principles of what a gene is and how it works at a simple cartoon level. Walt will then cover some very interesting dowsing experiments along with the dowsing programs and methods that you could try. Also covered will be some of the apparently very successful gene experiments and how they are now doing.
Walt Woods is a Past President and Trustee of the American Society of Dowsers, Chairman of the Sierra Dowsing Chapter in Sacramento and a member of the Ozark Research Institute Research Committee. He is a retired college science instructor who travels and gives workshops, talks and advanced schools at conventions and meetings around the U.S. and Canada. Walt learned to dowse from his father in the mid 30’s. He has spent many years researching dowsing and related areas, both scientifically and metaphysically. Walt wrote the widely used booklet "Letter to Robin, A Mini-Course in Pendulum Dowsing" for beginning and advanced dowsers. Walt is continuously researching new areas and is always changing and updating his lectures and workshops, as well as adding new talks.

SPECIAL NOTICES
"Group Self-Healing Sessions/Classes" with Pete Warburton. Dowsing is a mental phenomena of asking a question from the mind, and getting a physical response (interpreted as a "yes" or "no" answer) from the physical body. The theory of dowsing for "power of mind self-healing" is that the body will heal itself, if the subconscious understands the cause of the problem.
The dowser "plays detective" to find a disharmony in their physical or psychic body, then asks their subconscious inner healer to clear the disharmony, which may be ungrounding an emotional block, or some other disturbance. The subconscious inner healer clears you of the disharmony and brings you back into harmony (balance). We, as dowsers, are not medical practitioners and thus, we do not diagnose or treat, we only tell you dowsing stories for you to take into account in managing your health.
Each class is complete in itself. You are welcome to attend as many or as few classes as you wish. Mondays, 6~8pm at the Divine Science Center, 1540 Hicks Ave, San Jose, CA. Suggested donation $7 ~ no one turned away. Call Pete Warburton at (408) 733-9657 between 2-8pm or Cathy Coultrip at (925) 462-8576 for more information. This class is sponsored by The San Jose Chapter of the American Society of Dowsers, Inc.

THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Shirley speaks
Congratulations to Pete Warburton, our Chapter "Dowser Of The Year" for 2004. On January 8th, Pete received a framed certificate of appreciation and a gift certificate for Hobbees where he has breakfast every day, except Christmas, when they're closed. He informed us that he also won "The Best Customer of the Year" Award at Hobbees. Way to go Pete!
All ASD members: this society needs a strong, energetic and cooperative Board of Trustees committed to the success of dowsing and our society. The future of our society is in your hands, and it is very important that you vote for the potential Trustees that you dowsed will do the best job. The ballot, that you received recently, needs to be at ASD Headquarters before March 15th for your vote to count.
The February "Question of the Month" was how do you find items that have disappeared? or what process do you go through to return lost items to this dimension? or do you have a technique that works for finding lost items? Along this same line of questioning would be, do things actually disappear into other dimensions?
Thank you Bill Mundy for the following response.
"Recently Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the first Palm Pilot, wrote a book called On Intelligence, about the theoretical workings of our brains. Essentially he sees our entire central nervous system as interconnected layers of memory devices that store the memories in such a way that they are triggered by minimal input… coming back as a prediction of what we will see, hear, perceive or do (how we will act is also predicted by our minds before we do it). Our brains primarily predict patterns for what's around us based on our past patterns that we've learned.
When we're stress free everything is working together, and we see things clearly. What happens when we loose things is our predictive mechanism starts over-riding the input stream of new data. Often the raw data is still there, it's only the pattern confusion that has gotten to our perception. So basically, we don't have to research for lost things, we can recall where they are when we didn't "see" them. The trick is to clear up what's blocking your view. If you really think something has gone into another dimension, you can substitute "what's blocking my view?," for "what will bring my object back from the other dimension?"
Dowsing is a way to identify the cause of this interference and look for the issues that are in the way. Once identified, you can heal them or just turn them off. The process is easy, just keep in mind that you're now finding the reasons that you cannot find the lost item, not just finding the lost item. So, first ask if you can find your keys? No. Ask, what's the first issue you need to identify? Stress? Mental? Emotional? Physical? Outside interference? UFO's? Past lives? Karma? Anything goes; we're looking for the patterns that you've got that are over-riding your perception. Clearing them is easy… just ask them to clear. Bring your awareness to your core, or shift it from your left side to your right. It helps your brain re-program when you input data from both sides of the body while focused on an issue. The mechanism isn't fully understood, but it works. Follow up with, is that issue clear? Can I find my keys now? What's next? Most objects become visible in less than ten issues.
This method can help you enhance your dowsing too. It's just another method of perception subject to similar acts of confusion. Set up a scale of dowsing expertise. Examine the issues that block it, and check your progress. So you could view it as a universal tool for self-improvement. Happy dowsing!"
Bill still wants to know if anyone has a "free energy" machine or information on time travel or teleportation. Be sure and schedule a consultation with Bill today if you need problem relief, pain relief, want to explore the power of energetic influences, want more self empowerment, more from life or more life!

I was delighted to read the "Water Prayer" starting on page 42 in the Fall 2004 Quarterly Digest. "I call on the divine powers of nature, our guides and angels to bless this water and provide it with the proper frequencies to remove unnatural impurities and energies; to remove the detrimental and unneeded organisms, miasms, prions and toxins in our bodies; to balance our chakras, energy patterns and meridians; to gently cleanse all waste material from our cells and bodies; and to draw us closer to our highest potential as loving spiritual beings while raising our level of consciousness continuously and bestowing health and comfort to our physical bodies. Let each drop bless and charge every other drop it contacts, on and on. I call on this program to be installed continuously for now and into the future for as long as it is ap-propriate for each individual. In deep gratitude, amen."
This prayer is directed to water. You either say it to the water or set the water on a copy of the prayer before drinking the water. Holding a copy of the prayer greatly expands your energy field. Whatever you set on the prayer will have its field expanded in seconds. (Hey Don, maybe we should set the chapter's globe with the tiny labyrinths on the "hot spots" on top of a copy of this prayer!!!!)
The work on this prayer was inspired by Dr. Hulda Clark (www.drclark.com), by Raymon Grace (www.raymongrace.net) and by Joey Korn (www.dowsers.com). Be sure and read the entire article. Harold Koontz, Ph.D., and Sue Gridley, Ph.D. would be very interested to know if others get similar results. Email: harold77@ypisp4u.net.
The March "Question of the Month" is how do you use dowsing to define your personal mission statement or life goals to have your dreams become your reality? I am eagerly awaiting your response to this question especially since both Jean Slatter and Dr. Charles Crowder gave us wonderful information about using dowsing for the achievement of your goals. We all deserve a fulfilling life lived with purpose, intention and in harmony with our heart's desire!
It is the time to make plans for the Second International Can-Am Dowsers Conference in Issaquah, Washington, May 27-30. For more in-formation, visit: www.can-amdowsers.org or contact Penn Bell at (425) 485-8058; bella-soc@isomedia.com.
Blessings to us all,
Shirley
