Dowsing and Self-Healing
May 14, 2005
On Saturday, May 14th, Pete Warburton will be speaking on "Dowsing and Self-Healing." Hopefully, the body heals itself when energy disharmonies are cleared. Pete's talk includes introductory dowsing techniques for beginners, clearing disharmonies and pains, negative emotions and traumas, and advanced techniques for clearing disharmonies in the body, psyche, and DNA.
In the early 1970s, Pete became interested in self-healing. His primary interests are in keeping himself healthy, in understanding how the human psyche works, and building bridges to scientific theories in physics and psychology. Pete, a retired computer programmer, has an MA in Philosophy.

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
Thank you Walt Woods for such a wonderful presentation on April 9th. It is the first time in our Chapter that a speaker has been asked to continue after the break until 5pm. I hope everyone remembers to balance their energies before going to sleep, and Walt, please come back and visit us the same time next year.
Congratulations to Nicolas Finck who won the Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest with "Dowsers Do It Divinely." You will soon see that slogan on bumper stickers and T-shirts round the world! Nicolas very generously donated his prize, a year's membership in ASD, to Tina Kay, who formats the newsletter for both the San Jose and now the Golden Gate Chapters.
The March "Question of the Month" was "How do you use dowsing to define your personal mission statement or life goals to have your dreams become your reality?" Bill Mundy answered with the following:
"I use dowsing to evaluate and expand my consciousness to it's current full potential. (This is a healing application.) Then I set my dreams using dowsing to affirm, identify and clear any resistances to my dreams. Then I set my goals using dowsing to set the best goals for myself and clear any resistances. I measure my progress as I accomplish or see my goals not being met. I use dowsing to identify and evaluate the aspects not yet incorporated from within my consciousness and the environment I'm working in, as I revise my plans and re-set my goals and enhance my dreams from my increased consciousness. This is an interactive process, one that will continue as long as I continue to grow. The real purpose is growth; the path is dreaming, goal setting and manifestation/success."
This is what I do. I write down my goals and then check to see (with the pendulum) if I am in harmony with reaching those goals. I then check to see if there are any discordant energies interfering with my meeting those goals, such as thought forms from others. If there are, I clear them. I use the 15 Minute Miracle® and I also "Hire the Heavens" and ask for help from the Angels on a daily basis. I have gotten into the habit of writing down everything that happens during the day that is an indication that my prayers are being answered. I focus on what I want and the feelings of love, happiness, joy and gratitude.
The April question was "Who is in charge?" Kalena Luxon says, "My dowsing results choose God." Bill Mundy responded with:
"Who is in charge? Let's ask some simple questions. Who has ultimate veto power? You. Who can choose to ignore even the spot on your face? You. Who takes every step? You. Who chooses to look for a better answer? You. Who chooses to do what you've never done before? You. When you ask questions, you may choose to ask this person, or that entity, but no matter what they say, who determines what you hear? You. Who decides what to do with what you hear? You. Now some may say that there are other powers directing everything, so why is it that it's so hard to tell? How is it that everyone just doesn't know? The simplest answer is that it's a choice. Only you can put some other power in charge. But that doesn't change who's really in charge. It would be the person making the choice…You. What are you in charge of? You. What about everything else? Well, there are a lot of "You's" out there. We all share the same space. And we can cooperate on many things, some more effectively than others. Also in many different ways. It certainly makes for an interesting experience."
Who is in charge? is a great question. People who view the world from outside of their body, most of the time, will probably respond by saying "Well I'm certainly not!" They probably feel like no one is in charge—they're like a ship without a rudder, a plane without a pilot. Those who spend most of their time and energy in the higher realms probably believe that God is in charge. Those who use dowsing to stay in harmony with all disharmony know that they are in charge. They run the entire show; they produce, direct, and star in the show that is their third dimensional physical life on planet Earth. They remember what it feels like to be grounded and in the light protected by the angels. Their goal is to be neutralized, harmonized, energized, loved, creative, happy, energetic, stress-free and fearless.
A suggestion for those of you who have trouble dowsing accurately. When preparing to dowse say, "My name is __________." If the answer is "no" your polarities are reversed so hit the side of your hand (under your little finger) with your other hand a few times, and then ask again. Then state, with your pendulum swinging, "I am in harmony with all disharmony. I am neutralized, harmonized, energized. I am connected to True Source." You should receive a "yes" to each statement. Continue with "I am in the light and protected by the Angels."
The next statement you make is "There is interference with my dowsing accuracy." If the answer is "yes" you then request, "Please clear all interference with my dowsing accuracy" and wait until your pendulum stops moving, and check again.
Get your statement clearly in mind and say, "I can, I may, I should" and with a "yes" you are ready to dowse! If you are tired, angry, stressed, dehydrated, hungry or irritable wait until you are feeling better before attempting to dowse. If you are feeling emotional about the answer, get someone else to dowse for you.
A way to verify the accuracy of your dowsing is to check the following: "This is a true answer." Restate the answer you received by saying "It is ________. " "I am able to get a clear answer to this statement at this time. I should reword the statement. My statement is clear and understood. This is an accurate answer according to universal truth." Using statements instead of questions uses less energy and is a more effective way of receiving accurate information.
"Magical Blend" magazine has an ASD classified listing included in each issue until December '05. We will have a dowser's booth at the upcoming Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa, June 11-12, SolFest in Hopland, August 20-21 and the annual fair at the Divine Science Community Center in San Jose, October 1-2.
The first meeting of the new East Bay Chapter being formed is Friday, May 6, from 6:30-9:30pm in Emeryville. If you are interested, please contact Shirley Runco at dowsershirley@hotmail.com or call (510) 551-3136 or (510) 278-3136.
Anne Gardner and Lianne Davis are working together to create an "Adult Education Dowsing Class Proposal/Curriculum." Contact Anne at acgrdner@earthlink.net with ideas, suggestions or recommendations.
If you have a high-speed tape duplicator that will copy three tapes simultaneously off a master and you would like to donate it to the chapter, you will be blessed forever with love and good fortune.
For those of you who like to plan ahead, you might want to consider joining us on a Dowser's Cruise Conference, April 10-14, 2006. The Carnival departs on Monday at 5pm from Long Beach, California and after visiting Catalina Island, Ensenada and spending a day at sea, will return to Long Beach on Friday morning. The cost depends on cabin selection (inside or ocean view); approximately $400-$600 per person based on double occupancy. Susan Askin, Master Cruise Counselor, will be answering all your questions on Saturday, May 14th at the Chapter meeting.
Blessings to us all,
Shirley
Where there's a will there's a way. Every day:
