Dowsing - A Path to Enlightenment by Joey Korn
When most people think of dowsing, they think of an old-timer using a forked tree branch to find a place to drill or
dig for underground water. That's what I used to think too. Now I see dowsing as a powerful tool for self-
exploration, for understanding the natural forces of the Universe, and for working knowingly with the Creator and
with Nature in our lives. It allows us to tune into what is going on behind the scenes of life in the world of subtle
energies.
I learned to dowse in 1986 from a kindly old gentleman who helped me find our septic tank with a pair of cut-up
coat hangers that he had fashioned into L-shaped rods. He walked forward with the rods while asking to find the
main sewer pipe coming from the house. When he reached the pipe, the rods opened to point in opposite
directions, making a line. Then he walked away from the house along this line, asking to find the septic tank, and
his L-rods opened again. “There's your septic tank,” he said. Sure enough, that's exactly where it was. I had been
studying metaphysics for many years by then and when I saw this, I was hooked. I definitely saw this as a spiritual
process. I've been dowsing ever since.
I realized right away that I could dowse for many things besides underground water and sewer pipes, such as
electrical lines, wooden beams in walls, and lost objects. Soon I learned that I could dowse human energy fields,
or auras. This really excited me because it helped me understand concepts I had accepted intellectually or on
'blind faith' before then. With dowsing, I could 'see' and feel the effects of positive and negative thinking on our
energy fields. Positive thoughts expand our dowsable energy fields and strengthen our bodies, while negative
thoughts contract our energy fields and weaken our bodies.
In my explorations, I learned that everything in Nature is surrounded by energy fields that can be detected with
dowsing. I also learned about different kinds of energies that are abundant on Earth. Energy leys and power
spots are beneficial to us; they strengthen our energy fields. We want these energies in our lives. Detrimental
energy lines, called noxious rays by some dowsers, weaken us and can eventually make us sick. Dowsers
typically block or divert noxious rays and other detrimental energies using various devices and techniques, such
as hammering an iron rod into the ground right in the flow of the energy or surrounding a room or house with
copper wire. I used to use that method too.
I have found that the real power to work with natural energies comes from within. In my own dowsing explorations, I
have learned that we don't have to use external devices to block detrimental energies. In my opinion, we don't
want to block them at all. We can actually change detrimental energies into beneficial energies with what I call
'prayerful statements of intent.' I feel that a noxious ray is a detrimental energy ley. Underground streams, energy
leys, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are conductors of the Life Force, and the energies they carry is
transmutable by us.
Many dowsers call this 'mental clearing' and believe that the changes will only last a short period of time. I don't
think it's 'clearing' at all. To clear means to remove or disperse. After changing the energies with prayerful
statements of intent, the energies are still there in the same place, but they have become beneficial. I agree that
the changes are not permanent, they are indefinite; they will remain beneficial until something else changes them
back to be detrimental. I don't do this mentally, but call on the changes to take place with prayer.
We can also attract beneficial energies, such as energy leys and power spots, to create unique energy
configurations in our living environments that support us in our efforts. I do this for others and I teach people to do
this for themselves in their homes, offices, and gardens. This energy work is perfect for practitioners of Feng
Shui, the Chinese art of arranging our living spaces for the proper flow of chi, or life force. It is also excellent for
those who work with various healing modalities and anyone interested in spiritual growth. The reconfiguration of
these energies can be done on-site or from a distance. This is simply magic – real magic.
With these realizations comes empowerment, as we learn more fully to realize the power of the Divine in our lives.
I mean this spiritually rather than religiously, as it crosses religious boundaries. I have found that dowsable lines
of energy appear when we pray sincerely for something, such as for healing. We can create unique energy
configurations to bring whatever we most desire into our lives. I feel that each of these energy lines carries a
unique energy frequency, created in answer to prayer. They create energy fields that exactly reflect our intent.
When we pray over food, for example, asking that the food be blessed, beneficial lines of energy or rays of light
appear and at two lights intersect and attach to each piece of food. They energize the food, and we all benefit
when we eat food that has been charged with the Life Force.
This knowledge also brings responsibility into our lives because we begin to realize that every thought and
emotion we have makes changes in the subtle but powerful world of energy, which is behind everything in life.
Nature supports us in our efforts by feeding us with these energies, and she is non-judgmental in her support.
Loving thoughts attract beneficial energies to us while negative thoughts and emotions, such as hatred, anger,
and jealousy, draw detrimental energies into our lives that may stay around for many years to come if we don't do
something to change them. The more passionate we are in our lives, the more we bring these beneficial and
detrimental energies into our living environments. The more aware we are of these energies, the more careful we
will be in our thoughts and deeds and the more control we will have in our lives.
When I first began my metaphysical pursuits in 1974, I thought I was going outside of my religion of Judaism in my
studies, though I certainly never disavowed my Jewish faith. Interestingly, 25 years later, I made a discovery in my
dowsing that brings me right back to my heritage, especially to Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah. I have been finding
a unique pattern of energies or rays of light around beds since 1996. This same pattern is around everyone's
bed, or where we sleep. I realized very soon that the Bed Pattern, as I call it, is directly related to us. It is a
reflection of our health and well-being, or lack thereof. If we are ill or going through a traumatic period in our lives,
it will be reflected as imbalances in the Bed Pattern. A properly stated prayer, calling for healing and balance, will
correct these imbalances and can bring healing into our lives.
In June of 1999, I realized what the Bed Pattern is: it's the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Kabbalah is the foundation of
Jewish mysticism and the Tree of Life is the central feature of Kabbalah.
According to legend, the Tree of Life was put into place before Creation as a pattern of God's Light. Everything in
existence is supposed to be patterned after the Tree of Life. Three years after making this connection, I am more
convinced than ever that the Bed Pattern is the Tree of Life, and I can teach just about anyone to find it and work
with it. It is really the Human Energy Pattern, as it is around each of us, every minute of every day; we imprint it
where we sleep.
You don't need a pair of dowsing rods or a pendulum in order to work with these energies; dowsing tools just help
us become aware of them. Subtle energies are everywhere around and within us. We bring them in and affect
them all the time with our thoughts, emotions, prayers, and our fears. Being able to 'see' and feel these energies
with dowsing, helps us to understand our relationship with Nature. It also helps us know when we need to work to
change detrimental energies into beneficial energies.
I have long been a man of strong faith, but dowsing continues to strengthen my faith every single day. It helps
turn 'blind faith' into a stronger, more knowing faith. It helps us see the Power of the Divine in our lives. I have
been searching for many years for tools and techniques to bring mystical experience into my life. Dowsing
combined with prayer is the most powerful tool I've found that we each have at our disposal to draw us closer to
the Divine.
Yes, we can all dowse. It is a common misconception, even among many dowsers, that you must have 'the gift' in
order to dowse. Well, we do have to have the gift, but all we have to do is to open our minds and hearts to receive
it. This gift is available to all of us.
I believe that we are all on our spiritual paths in life, even the lost souls in the world, but our spiritual evolution
takes a quantum leap forward when we step knowingly onto that path. Nature supports us in our efforts whether
we know it or not, but she wants us to work knowingly with her. For me and for many others, dowsing is more than
just a way to find water; it's a path to enlightenment.
