We have probably all experienced the gut sense. It is instinctive and visceral. Yet how many times have we overridden it with mental reasoning and intellect, only to see, with hindsight, that our initial gut reaction was indeed correct?

Many years ago, I was taught the simple technique of dowsing using a pendulum. Dowsing gives a direct access to the body’s “knowing”, the gut sense.

This session will explore the use of the gut sense and dowsing within the clinical setting. The aim is to empower you to begin to listen to and trust your gut sense. 

What the audience will learn:

I will explain the basics of dowsing.

This will be a hands-on workshop with people getting a chance to try dowsing. Learn how I incorporate this technique into my busy herbal clinic to increase efficiency and clarity.

Learn how you could start to use dowsing in your practice:

  • Selecting herbs and other remedies
  • Calculating amounts in a formula
  • Decisions around dosage and timings
  • Selecting dates and times for talks and events
  • Referring a client to another healthcare practitioner or treatment modality
  • Whether you wish to take on someone as a client in the first place

We will look at how dowsing might also offer a way to:

  • Change the energy within a clinic or other environment
  • Support self-protection for the practitioner

What to bring:

Attendees are asked to come with an open and enquiring mind.

You may want to bring a pen and paper for note taking.

If you have a pendulum, please bring it along. (Don’t worry, if you haven’t, I will provide some pendulums).
