Dowsing is a psychic technique used to find lost or hidden objects by tapping into their energy fields. Used for several generations, dowsing has been used to locate everything from lost jewellery to underground water sources.
In previous centuries, dowsing was declared to be a practise of evil, and the moving of dowsing tools was thought to be the work of the devil. Sceptics concluded that dowsing was simply a superstitious performance due to the fact that the process was mainly made up of paranormal and extrasensory techniques. For this reason, dowsing can also be referred to as ‘water witching’. Despite the scepticism, dowsing has collected some well-known practitioners throughout the years including Leonardo Da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Uri Geller.
