What is dowsing?

Dowsing is an ancient mind skill similar to the U.S. military developed and proven skill of Remote Viewing (RV). Like RV, dowsing is also a structured, teachable discipline that enlists the unconscious mind to gain direct knowledge about the location of a target - people, places, things. Trained dowsers begin with a target in mind upon which they then focus their intentions.

Though commonly defined as a "psychic" ability by many individuals, dowsing is rather a skill that utilizes information obtained by the unconscious mind to provide conscious feedback as to whether or a not a dowser is getting closer to a target.

The surprising accuracy of "hot/cold" or "yes/no" bio-feedback responses from the unconscious have been studied for years by research organizations. During the Vietnam conflict the U.S. military was known to employ dowsing to find underground bunkers and buried mines in enemy territories. Afterwards, the military continued to research it, and enlisted it in support of Cold War objectives. Dowsing became an integral part of the tool-set for the "psychic spy" remote viewers of what later became officially known as the CIA's "Star Gate" Program .

In spite of some skeptic's beliefs, dowsing is a skill which evidence shows provides results much better than simple chance would dictate. Scientists have continued to research dowsing, examining techniques and considering new theories, some based on the fundamental laws of the universe, as described in Quantum Field Theory to help explain and unlock the mysteries behind this incredible skill.
