Dowsing or divination is a simple skill that anyone can learn. The main principle is that we hold more knowledge than we know and can sense things beyond our 5 senses. This information is often subconscious. Our body knows that there is water under our feet but it is not connecting to our brains. The art of dowsing creates a simple bridge for the body to communicate with tiny movements that the dowsing tool (in this case the pendulum) amplifies so that we now have a conscious answer to our question.
