3 dowsIng CharTs

When reading your pendulum, the “swing to” is what you are looking for.

yes / no dowsing chArt

We will start with a simple yes/no chart:

7 A “Yes” answer is an up-and-down, or vertical swing.
7 A “No” answer is a side-to-side, or horizontal swing.
note: Why not have “Yes” as a clockwise rotation (circle to the right) and “No” as a
counterclockwise rotation (circle to the left)? Well, in my opinion it takes too long; vertical
and horizontal swings are easier and faster to read.

yes / no prActice Questions

Phrase your question in the form of a statement.

Asking simple questions that you already know the answer to ensures that you and your
dowsing system are in sync. Think of it as asking your dowsing system a true or false question.
Instead of asking “Did I eat breakfast?” say “I ate breakfast.” The pendulum will then swing to
indicate yes or no (that is, true or false, respectively).
 The spIrIT of dowsIng: a begInner’s guIde

Don’t worry if your pendulum doesn’t move by itself right away. Give it a little nudge in the right
direction to start.

My car is red.

I have 2 brothers.

My name is…

I ate breakfast.

Practice simple “Yes” / “No” questions for a few days.

Write down your questions, and then dowse for the answers. This will help you begin to focus on
the subject and the question you are dowsing simultaneously.

percentAges

For reading percentages, notice a –% sign and +% sign on ether side of the upper half of the
chart. This indicates negative (–) and positive (+) percentages.

Notice that there are multiples-of-ten starting with 0 and going to 100 on the right or +%
(positive percent) side. On the left or –% (negative percent) side there are multiples-of-ten 0
through -100 at exactly the opposite of its counterparts on the right. Think of 0 percent as
neutral. Any reading in the –% (negative percent) can be viewed as non-beneficial.

simpLified expLAnAtion of the whoLe dowsing chArt

There is one ring of numbers. For “multiples-of-ten” readings, add zeros.

For example, if you are dowsing and the reading is positive 90%, the pendulum will point to 9 on
the positive side of the chart. To determine numbers between multiples-of-ten, for example
between 90% and 100%, you would take an additional reading of single digits between one and
nine (eg: 91 to 99).

frAming Questions

Keep your questions short and basic. Simple, clear and focused questions will achieve best
results. Be aware of multiple meanings of words such as the word ‘miles’. It could mean a
measured distance or someone’s name (Miles). Dowsing systems tend to be pretty literal.

Once you have framed your question, ask it out loud. Does it sound ambiguous or too long?
Does it have too many variables or multiple parts? Are you asking an opinion? Dowsing Systems
will not offer opinions.
