Wow, our last meeting really got me thinking. Long-time member John Mortimer talked about water dowsing. How many times have you mentioned that you are a dowser, to receive a blank look. So if you’re like me you go on to explain, ‘you know, water dowsing,’ then you see the light go on in their eyes. But how many of us are water dowsers. Water is so important, and so many just expect it to be there at the turn of the tap.
The comments past and present and articles that have come my way are building up a huge appreciation of water dowsing. Just the other night on the History channel, the team were excavating an old site in England where a monastery once stood. One small comment jumped out at me
Which reminded me of the visit, for the 50th celebration of our Society, of Francois Capmeil, and his sharing about the ley lines of Europe. On the Joseph and Mary lines, how churches were always built with the font over a water line or a water dome (crossing or coming together of underground streams). While on the subject of the building of these churches, the stone masons instinctively knew which end of the brick was positive and negative. They would flip and toss the bricks to get positive to negative as they laid brick after brick. No wonder those old churches have such a nice energy. Try telling that one to a bricklayer today.
I love the comment from John of how when explorers and armies occupied uninhabited land, the first thing to happen was to send out the water diviners for a goodly supply of potable water.
Closer to home we have just had a flood over 200 acres of the farm, the force of the water is amazing to observe. 50+ years ago the council of the day, straightened the river to encourage a faster clearing of the flood water, (didn’t help much) but even today, the river still wants to return to its natural route. The force, and the memory are staggering. Then to consider that we are made up of so much water, you can understand a little of how we can influence our own health by energising the water content of our own body, even to the cup of liquid before it passes our lips.
Then there are the benefits of a bath or a shower. The calming, earthing effect of water we can all understand. I find it interesting that the Christening and Baptism all relate to water. Life is dependent upon water, yet so few of us dowse in the water field.
Several years ago, our deep well bore misbehaved! Ren dowsed for a nearby stream and re-directed it to our pump. It has been a reliable source ever since. So this has got me thinking. I don’t know that I want to take up being a water diviner, but I can play around in my own garden. Perhaps I could play around with lowering the underground streams in the winter, so as to make the surface area a little drier, especially in the vegetable patch. Then conversely, in the dry summer months, I could pull water back into surface streams, to stop the garden drying out so much. Just a thought, but I am going to play with the idea.

So thank you John for a very informative address.
