In posing dowsing questions,
it is important to realize that the subconscious mind is very literal.
Because of this, it is crucial that you are very specific about the
information you want, and that you phrase your questions in a way that
cannot be misinterpreted.
This goes for
all divination techniques. "Is it going to rain?" is unclear. "Is it going
to rain in Los Angeles today?" is much more apt to get a correct response.
Example
of a poorly phrased question:
Do
I need vitamins?
The answer
will always be "Yes". The body needs vitamins and minerals to operate
properly.
Better question:
Would
I benefit from taking vitamin supplements at this time?
If you get a
"Yes" response, you will at least know that the purchase and intake of
vitamin supplements will not be a waste of time and money. How much of a
benefit you would realize and what form the benefits will take are still
unknown, so you would have to ask more questions if you want more specific
information. Also, you would have to ask more questions to find out which
vitamins and what dosage would be beneficial.
Example of a poorly phrased
question:
Is George a good match for me?
The
subconscious mind cannot clearly interpret this question. The word "match"
has too many possible meanings. To name a few:
1) An
instrument for starting fires
2) A competitive game, as in "tennis match"
3) A complimentary coupling of colors
4) A pairing of a set
5) A person eligible to enter into marriage and viewed with regard to his or
her advantages or disadvantages (as in social position and wealth) as a
marriage partner for a prospective mate (Webster's).
Better question:
Considering
the following aspects of relationships (list the aspects that are
important to you), and using a scale of 1-10 (where 10 is a perfect partner
and 1 is totally unsuitable), does George rate an 8 or above in all of
these categories?
Please, get
prepared ahead of time.
Create a list of questions to process. I suggest to write all your questions down.
During
the session
clear your mind, calm your emotions.
Ask your question in a form which is suitably answered with a "yes" or a
"no". The query may be aloud or silent.
