3.0 SELF-HEALING: "POWER OF MIND" TECHNIQUES IN THE DOWSER'S TOOL KIT
(revised 1 July 2008; healing sessions and updated paper by email, petepw@earthlink.net)
The purpose of this part of the paper is two-fold:
first, to sketch some techniques of self-healing; and second, to suggest the kind of research involved in developing
these techniques. I doubt that anyone will do this work in the same manner that
I do. Rather, these techniques are suggestive of what you can do to develop your
own abilities. Further, "one size fits all" doesn't apply; you dowse for the
proper technique for the case at hand. You may use dowsing, muscle testing, or device-less intuition.
Useful as these techniques may be for healing dis-ease, a more important use is preventive:
maintaining physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. For instance,
clear all blocks to unconditional love of self and others (no matter how mean/nasty); love over fear.
In the self-healing process, the dowser and client should be grounded. One way to ground yourself, or others, is: relax, breathe
deeply, and do not do anything else.
There is always the nagging question: how much
of what I am doing is a function of me, the client, the real world? All of us
dowsers, no matter how different our techniques, face this question.
My written descriptions in the following sections are a bare outline of this work, and no
substitute for practice and experience, directed by a sense of purpose to help people heal.
Basic Process:_ A Four-Step Process for Self-Healing
The easiest technique is (first ask: May I? Can I? Should I?) to repeat these steps
to clear disharmonies:
1) dowse if there is a disharmony in the body (answer YES or NO or MAYBE),
2) if YES, ask that the disharmony be brought into harmony with the body (Joe Wippich),
3) use dowsing (a continuous YES motion of the dowsing instrument) to monitor the releasing
of energy,
4) when clearing is done (clearing motion stops), dowse that the disharmony is cleared.
This dowsing for self-healing is a process, or a system.
The elements of the process are:
1) an assumption that disharmonies can be dowsed and that clearing is beneficial to a person;
2) a dowsing response for YES, NO, CLEARING (continuous YES motion), and MAYBE (question
is ambiguous, misleading, or out of place, etc);
3) a sequence of steps for finding a disharmony, clearing it, and checking that the disharmony
is cleared.
For the beginner, having a system of this sort seems essential to gain confidence in one's
dowsing capability. Just asking random questions and getting YES/NO answers which
may or may not seem believable does not seem to be enough to gain confidence
in one's abilities.
Water dowsers have a more complex system. They
know about water, soils, rock formations, well-
drilling technology, etc; much knowledge, many techniques.
Through practice, they gain confidence in their system to locate successfully where best to drill a well.

Clearing Emotions:_ Using the word lists and clearing traumas (from Bob Wade-Mahany, 1970s)
A more complex technique is to dowse for words such as fear, terror, panic, anger, rage,
guilt, dread, etc. Then dowse who is feeling what toward whom, and when; then
build a story of a trauma out of these words, then ask that the trauma be cleared. The
dowser should be as grounded as possible for this work.

One approach: divide a blank sheet of paper
into three columns; list the dowsed words in the middle column; who feels the emotion in the left column; and who/what the
emotion is directed toward in the right column. Source and target may be the
same person, as in self-anger. More detail: what part of the person is feeling
the emotion (the liver, a chakra, a meridian, ego, soul)? Date (past/future),
place?
The only limit to the method is your imagination. Sometimes you rack your mind for the right
word; other times, the right word intuitively pops into your mind. One can always dowse a dictionary (or another book) for
an appropriate word. Divide the book in half: is the word in the 1st half, or the last half?
Then divide again until dowsing gives the page, column, and location of the appropriate word on the page.
Dowse the word lists for emotions involved until the client's subconscious knows enough
about who feels what toward whom, dates, and origins, to begin clearing and self-healing; then monitor the healing energy
flow until it stops after a few seconds/minutes, and then double check that the problems are completely resolved in the client's
physical body and psyche.
Affirmations_ (from the "Emotional Freedom Technique" folks)
Affirmations of the form "I am acceptable to myself and others, even if X" (some block),
get the conscious and subconscious working together to clear disharmony in body and psyche. If affirmation fails (NO), clear
blocks/emotions/traumas/etc until affirmation holds (YES). You can make up these
affirmations for your situation.
Samples: I am acceptable to myself no matter what; even if I have blocks to getting my energies together to do what is right for me; even if my ego refuses to be the servant of
my soul; blocks to being in harmony with all the disharmony in the world (from Joe Wippich); blocks to unconditional love
of self and others (no matter how mean or nasty); blocks to my true identity.

Clearing Traumas (complex sets of related emotions)
Dowsing and clearing aches, pains, or stories word-by-word is time consuming. So, dowse the trauma, and clear it as a single step. Many
traumas are created, even in adults, as a result of a person being rejected and feeling worthless in childhood. Often, you
can dowse and clear a "core trauma" behind multiple aches/pains. Traumas may be in physical, etheric, astral, mental, soul,
(page 13), or in chakras or meridians. The conscious mind focuses on the intent to heal, leaving details to the subconscious.
Dowse with care. You may repeat some or all steps several times to cover self and all others
involved. To get at the psychology involved, do not resolve a story until dowsing teases out the whole trauma of emotions: who, what, when, etc. The client may want to skip the psychological details, just
clear and heal her/himself. Clearing may involve forgiveness, love, reconciliation with self/others, maximizing love/harmony,
or "rising above" unforgivable childhood/adult experiences.
To clear traumas, distance psychologically from them, and let go of (release) the trauma.
One can help others, to the extent that one is clear. Persons can be cleared as a group. This works, if a person really feels
harmony, not just gives lip-service. Here are a few troublesome traumas.
1) Clear abuse: persons who were emotionally
or physically abused as children or as adults frequently have (at least subconsciously) such feelings as helpless, hopeless,
powerless, useless, worthless, etc.
2) Clear rejection: lack of self-dependency,
lack of self-trust or self-love, dare not be acceptable to self or others. Rejection
at birth by mother/father may unground masculine/feminine, child/parent/adult/elder, physical body/ego/soul, etc.
3) Clear abandonment/fear of abandonment/self-abandonment:
anger/depression/anxiety/detachment from the lack of a nurturing mother/father (Bowlby 1969/1973/1980). For the loss of human/parental connections and depression, see Pipher (1994).
4) Clear emotional no-growth: a person who
grows from infancy to old-age without a glitch, is home free. Changing control/responsibility
roles in growth, from infant to elder, may block spiritual growth and social responsibility.
When we subconsciously sense differences with others, we can negotiate.
5) Clear responsibility/control (extremes): no
self-responsibility or feeling responsible for everyone; no self-control or wanting to control everyone; between the extremes,
one seeks a happy medium for self/others of self-control and self-responsibility.
_
6) Clear denials/confusions between reality
and virtual reality: the mind creates a model of reality (virtual reality), then
uses feedback from reality to correct the model. If feedback is denied, healing
blocks. Blocks to feedback from reality (and persons in it) may be involved with cancer.
There may also be foreign energies: possessions, entanglements, merges,
cords/links, connections, etc.
7) Externalizations in the soul (looking for outside authority, holding others to blame
for one's problems)
and fragmented internal divinity (ego refuses to be the servant of the soul, the soul goes
"out to lunch", and the ego may cause psychic attacks upon others); fear of losing freedom to X (parents/etc.), vulnerability
to giving away power to heal self (in order to reduce stress with others).

8) Clear/release fear of taking ownership of one's energies; fear of change, losing control
of life; denials/
refusals/can't accept or face reality; fear of not controlling others or being controlled;
bipolar behavior (giving away power, fear of taking it back, then taking it back with anger/frustration); cords/links/possessions/multiple
personalities/UFOs/ETs/channeling/poltergeist/hypnotic trance/evil spells/paranoia; emitting negative/control vibes (mirror/virtual
images) involving anxiety, clear poles of sender/receiver.
9) Clear fear of giving up defense mechanisms,
blocks to unconditional love of self/others (no matter how mean/nasty), or being in harmony with all the disharmony in the
world: conflicting values/attitudes/beliefs/don't trust self-healing. We come into the world powerless/helpless, grow to be
self-controlled/responsible parents/adults/community elders, but only if guided by harmony with self/others. Clear disharmony among parts of psyche/body, head to toe.
10) Clear false self (Pipher 1994)/ego/petals; "everything wrong is someone else's fault";
dysfunctional behavior patterns that may be triggered by others' negative emotions/buttons pushed; miasms (Reyner 1974); dysfunctional
self-healer/behavior and overweight due to fear of parents. Clear ego traumas, present to conception. If you need supplements/vitamins
(with healthy diet), clear traumas causing need. Info channeled by pole 18 may be valid, but if pole 18 fragmented, info from
poles 13-17 mostly garbage.
11) Be in harmony with, love (don't fight), emotions/aches/pains/allergies/microbes/toxins/waste
products, so body (immune/lymph systems, body chemistry) disposes of waste products, acidic body/illness due to traumas in
meridians/glands; dysfunctional beliefs/attitudes/behavior/images/inner healer, hidden traumas (repressed dates/emotions/persons),
fear of releasing fear/etc; conflict with others; be in harmony with, take ownership of emotions of other's, in one's system.
Cells should be in growth/nurture mode, not defensive/protective mode (Lipton 2005 ch 6), and instant healing mode (Morgan
1994, ch 13).
Clearing Energies and DNA
Mahaney's model of the psyche (page 13) modifies tradition (Powell 1928, pp 5-36). In 1991,
I began dowsing my subconscious to discover what I am doing in the self-healing work, and found an integrated system of psychic
energies forming an 8x8 model. In 2007, research in space/time/healing led me to an 8x 9 model (page 15). The model may or
may not be "true", in the sense of being part of some future science.
Mahaney's model can be extended for psyche/body energies.
Glands may be added as a horizontal row of the earth body; chakras and meridians may be added as a horizontal row of
the low self. My model turns Bob's model on its side, placing glands (pituitary
to perineum) vertically in column 1 (body), chakras in column 3 (astral), spirit in column 9 (soul); all energies intertwine/interconnect. I add the four germ layers (endoderm, etc) and ego states to column
1, as these carry the polarities in all parts of the body dna.
