We’re always looking for good dowsing stories. Here’s a story from Feng-Shui Master and Master Dowser Gayla Yates-Gordon about a house blessing.
The condo was on the ground floor of a charming old building with the ocean sparkling just a few yards beyond the grassy terrace. The view was spectacular. The condo’s interior was still in the process of being renovated, so the space was empty of furniture.
When I walked in, I assumed that this gorgeous, empty space was going to be a simple assignment. I anticipated determining the Power Spots, Commanding Positions, making suggestions regarding the The Art of Placement for major pieces of furniture, color consulting, and a Shamanic Blessing Ceremony, to dispel any old “sticky” energy left behind from former residents, so that Mary would instantly feel at home and deeply connected there.
With the ocean view and the tropical Hawaiian breezes wafting through, Mary’s new condo looked and felt fabulous! But, knowing that appearances can be deceiving, I routinely pulled out my golden “Aura Meter” (dowsing rod) to check the quality of subtle Qi energy.
I always begin dowsing with three traditional permission statements: “Can I, may I, should I do this dowsing now?” followed by a request for the golden rod to respond to any noxious Qi. Noxious Qi is any disruptive energetic that would be detrimental to the inhabitants of the environment. I am alerted to such situations if the rod of my Aura Meter bends, or if I feel a heavy tug or drag on it, as though I’m pulling it through water.
I started at the front door and traced the perimeter of each room with my trusty golden Aura Meter. Just as I expected, the energy was nice and smooth all around the place, room after room… until, much to my surprise, when I opened the door of a closet in the living room my dowsing rod began spinning wildly, twisting and bending back on itself. Such a severe reaction only happens when something is terribly wrong.
Mary saw the rod’s erratic behavior and was noticeably concerned. She told me that this closet used to be outside on the patio. In the remodel, she had the exterior living room wall moved forward to include the patio, so as to create more interior space. She said the upstairs balcony, still outdoors and directly over the closet, had leaked in the past; so perhaps, she suggested, my rod could be picking up a leakage problem. Based on that information, my first question to the Aura Meter was, “What is this negative energy? Is it something relating to water?” The dowsing rod bent sharply to the left, clearly indicating a “No” answer.
Then I asked, “Is it anything electromagnetic?”
Again, it bent sharply left:
“No.”
“Is it anything to do with electricity?”
“No.”
“Is it something geopathic?”
“No.”
“Is it geothermal?”
“No.”
I didn’t have any idea where to go from here with my questions. So, just to be flippant, I said, “What, was there a dead body in here?”Much to my surprise the Aura Meter suddenly bent sharply over to the right, strongly indicating a “Yes!” Instantaneously, I got a clear picture in my mind of the closet when it was outside on the patio: I saw rakes, brooms and garden hoses… but no dead body.
However, then the next question instantaneously popped into my mind:
“Is it something in the building materials?” The answer was a strong bend to the right: “Yes!”
“Is it something in the cement?”
“Yes!”
“Is it something in the sand?”
“Yes!”
“Hmm… Can I, may I, should I clear it?”
“Yes!”
(I said a silent, “Thank goodness!”)
So, with a strong, clear positive intention to dispel any and all noxious energy, I set about doing my shamanic clearing rituals.
I use my voice to create powerful shamanic sounds, as a medium to carry profound intentions on intense vibrational frequencies directed to the quantum level of environmental matter. Just as a spoon will easily bend from the “force” of mind intention, Qi will shift to resonate with the higher frequencies of clear, mindful, intentional, shamanic sounds. I visualized healthy, harmonious, healing Qi, first permeating and filling the closet, and then spilling out into every nook and cranny of the home.
After completing the shamanic rituals, I dowsed every room again and this time everything, including the closet, was smooth as silk. Mary was tremendously happy and relieved by the shift she felt in the atmosphere. She said, “I don’t know what it was, but I’m sure glad you found it and cleared it — the difference feels amazing!”
Without that detection and correction, the consequences could have been grave. While spending time in that area of the living room, a person might have experienced headaches from being subjected to the strong, low vibrational frequencies that made my rod spin. Or, because “Like attracts like!” those frequencies could attract, like a magnet, entities with similar low frequencies, such as ghosts, or dangerous low vibrational creatures, like centipedes. In fact, I was later told, that the construction workers had already found one centipede in the closet! Hawaiian centipedes are huge and extremely poisonous –definitely “noxious!”
The next morning, Mary invited me to breakfast with some of her friends. Of course, she was excited to tell them the story about how my dowsing had revealed the problem in the closet, the questions it had led me to, and the answers I’d gotten.
Natalie, a woman who’s lived on Kaua’i for thirty years said, “Oh-h-h! They must have gotten the sand from Maha’ulepu! The name means ‘Dark And Bloody Ground.’ There were so many battles fought there that you can still find bits of human bone in the dunes. Many Hawaiians believe it’s sacred land that should never be disturbed. They call it ‘Kapu’, [taboo] but many contractors use Maha’ulepu as a major quarry for the sand they use to make cement.”
Long ago, I learned to trust my dowsing answers implicitly, even when they do not make perfect sense to my conscious mind. But, it isn’t every day that “way out of the ordinary” answers, like “bones in the sand,” get verified so quickly and so explicitly!
This is why dowsing is so vitally important to Feng Shui:
When I walked into Mary’s new condo, it was clean, light and bright; with dazzling views and tropical breezes. It looked, smelled and felt like a perfect home in paradise! Who would suspect that anything could be amiss in such an idyllic environment? And who would ever think to look for trouble in a closet? Yet, noxious energies were lurking there. Thanks to Dowsing, we found it out! And, thanks to Amazing! Feng Shui Shamanic Rituals, it was eradicated –like compost into the Universe!
For many decades, Dowsing has made significant contributions to my Amazing! Feng Shui, yet I am still continuously amazed by it!
Maha’ulepu Beach – History:
Archaeological sites show evidence of extensive native Hawaiian settlements at Maha’ulepu. A large heiau exists below a modern day quarry. Burial remains are found in sand dunes, caves, and lava tubes. The concentration of burial remains in Maha’ulepu’s sand dunes and an ancient legend have led some to believe that this was the site of a great land and sea battle between the ruling chief of Kaua’i and a conquering chief from the island of Hawai’i.
