Separating Your Consciousness From Your Body

One of the great challenges a spiritual seeker will one day face is being able to separate their consciousness from their body in order to achieve the highest meditative states. Being able to separate your consciousness from your body can also be a great tool for a geomancer and dowser to use in applying their craft. 

The challenge in separating your consciousness from your body is that we associate our body with our being, who we are. It is not. 

Years ago when I was writing Sacred Sites in North Star Country I had to find Fields of Consciousness (where Ley Lines originate from) in America's northeast and southern Ontario, Canada. I did not have the time or wherewithal, to drive the backroads of such a large area. Instead I developed an alternative technique dowsing technique that relied on my ability to separate my consciousness from my body. I would look at a map and visualize myself being at a certain local. Holding my L-rods in my hand I would imagine my self walking at that specific location.

Below is a video I put together explaining how to learn this technique. 

For the spiritual seeker learning the basic dowsing technique of finding a water vein (underground stream) will provide you with enough dowsing ability to learn this technique. More importantly learning this exercise will be a great way to develop the ability to separate your consciousness from your body; as well as a way to test whether you can.

I encourage everyone to try and learn this technique. The video includes several exercises.

Dowsing Pifalls Video

I just posted a video on YouTube about common pitfalls in dowsing and how to overcome them. We all make mistakes, or at times get in a rut. This video may be of help during those challenging times.

Advanced Dowsing Technique Video

 I posted a video on YouTube on an advanced dowsing technique I have been  using for years. It is about learning to listen to your dowsing rods and it has given me great results, from discovering imprints to discovering, and determining, what Energy Vortices are. A link is below.

Dowsing Video Gives Tips and Exercises on Working With L-Rods

I just posted  a video on YouTube 'The Secrets to Working With Dowsing Rods that teaches how to use L-Rods. It also provides suggestions and exercises to become a better dowser. Below is a link.

Dowsing Services To Find Water, Earth Energies and More

 Friends,

I have set up  a webpage to offer dowsing services. www.earthwaterdowsing.com

As the name implies, Earth Water Dowsing, I will dowse to locate anything having to do with Earth or Water.  I can dowse where to locate a well,  for Earth Energies or where to locate a home or a sacred stone circle. 

One of the more interesting services I offer is determining  if your home is at increased risk to lightning strikes. It comes from years of doing field work and learning that there is something going on underground that attracts lightning strikes. To learn more you can read what I wrote on my dowsing services website.

A few years ago I began dowsing for water and earth energies as a business and thought it was about time to start advertising.

Legitimizing Dowsing and Geomancy---Consistency starts with Ley Lines

Friends,

One of the issues I am tackling is to improve the legitimacy of dowsing and geomancy. It seems whenever we get a group of dowsers together one finds one thing, another finds another thing. Probably one of the greatest controversies is over what Ley Lines are and even dowsing out, or finding Ley Lines. To that affect I put the following request below in the ASD Digest's Fall Issue, requesting pictures of Ley lines be sent to me.

If we are to elevate dowsing we need to bring greater legitimacy and consistency to it.

Blessings,
madis

PS I will post pictures as I receive them.

An Appeal for Information (Photos) on Ley Lines

Dear Fellow ASD Members,

I would appreciate your help and input. I am trying to reconcile what we in the states call ‘Ley Lines’ and what the British Society calls ‘Energy Leys.’ 

Recently, I submitted an article that was published in the Spring Issue of the Digest (‘Charged Ley Line’

Charged Ley Line video) to Alanna Moore of Geomantica (an excellent e-magazine dedicated to geomancy, eco-sensitivity and earth harmony.) She told me that the Irish Society ofDiviners uses the term Energy Leys and not Ley Lines and she could not publish something titled with the words, “Ley Lines.’ I told her I had no idea what Energy Leys are. Instead I told her to please use the term Lines of Consciousness (LOC), or Spirit Lines.

Then this summer when I reached out to Sig Lonegren about Stone Chambers he told me that a water line emanating from the Whangtown Stone Chamber, as I note in my article on Putnam County Stone Chambers in this issue, had an Energy Ley running next to it. I did not know what an Energy Ley was at the time (still don’t) and was not able to dowse it out. I felt pretty strongly that there was no Ley Line next to it.

Hence, why I want to distinguish what a ‘Ley Line’ is and what an ‘Energy Ley’ is.

First, I want to know what other members dowse out as a Ley Line. At this point I don’t care whether you think they are--energy, or consciousness, or a highway in the unseen world; or are part of Mother Earth, or created by humankind, or... I will attempt to hash out those issues later.

I was taught to dowse Ley Lines by well-known dowsers and have dowsed them out with many of you. I have spoken about Ley Lines within my presentations at the last two conventions and have dowsed them out with several of you. I do believe that there is much uniformity of opinion of what we dowse out as a Ley Line in the states. Again, I do not care at this point what you think they are, or are not.  I just what to know whether we do, or do not, dowse out the same thing we call a ‘Ley Line.’

Please email me, or mail me me pictures of Ley Lines you have dowsed out. If you can please send a photoshopped picture with a line marking the Line Ley. Or just send me a picture with two objects on the Ley Line that are 10-30 feet apart.

Please send to:

Letter to the Editor ASD Digest--Dowsing in a Beta State of Mind

The following is a letter I sent to the Editor of American Society of Dowsers Digest that was published in their summer issue.

Dear ASD Digest Editor,

I was astounded to hear so much mention of brain wave activity at this year’s conference in Saratoga Springs.  Then I remembered reading Alicja Aratyn’s "Ten Commandments for Every Dowser" (ASD Digest, Spring 2017).  She stated that one must enter “alpha state” if they wish to have “accurate dowsing.”  Clearly, she is not alone since several at the conference talked about the same idea.  

While alpha state may be fine for some, I often begin my dowsing with “beta wave” brain activity.

I have no idea what my brain wave activity is when I dowse.  But I vividly remember reading about brain wave activity while researching the use of meditation before beginning a rigorous meditative practice designed to achieve the meditative state of Samadhi.

I read that Buddhist meditation (broadly classified as focus on the breath, mindfulness) begins in alpha state (8 to 12 Hz), while Hindu concentrative meditation (focus on an object) begins in beta state (12 to 38 Hz).  Interestingly, both eventually get to theta state (3 to 8 Hz) and finally to delta (.5 to 3 Hz).

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras teaches us that by concentrating on an object, we eventually merge with it, and in so doing the object reveals itself to us.  When I pursued concentrative meditation on an object, many things were revealed to me out of the blue about the object.  Patanjali also teaches us that once we have achieved Samadhi, we can use deep concentrative meditation (what he calls Samyama) on an object, an image, speech, on the form of the body.  Again, we gain spiritual gifts (powers) or Sidhi’s over those forms that can have us read minds, become invisible, alter our size, levitate, etc.

It seems to me that that the concentrative meditation (Samyama) that Patanjali teaches, and its ensuing Sidhis, would bring innumerable benefits to dowsers -- showering them with insights and answers far beyond anything they are used to.  Granted, many of us may never reach the lofty states of consciousness and meditation required to achieve Samadhi, but I imagine our results would be pretty darn good.

So I ask my fellow dowsers to consider that maybe there is some benefit to learn concentrative meditation and begin dowsing in a beta state of mind.

Blessings,

Madis Senner

As he noted in his 2017 ASD Convention presentation, Bihar School has many excellent books from dedicated practitioners that are insightful and provide exercises to supplement your practice.  They also have a free online magazine at www.biharyoga.net/bihar-school-of-yoga/about-bsy.
