Indigo Testing

By Dr. Janine Talty, DO

As the Indigo adults begin to identify themselves based on lists of characteristics found on the Internet and in some printed texts, where can they go to get validation for their suppositions? Who can they ask? How can they verify beyond a reasonable doubt if in fact they qualify to fit in this very narrow classification? Most have felt so ostracized by societal norms, how dare they actually consider they might finally fit into a recognized category. And most importantly, where can they go to find others of the same persuasion?

Finding a test to verify my supposition that I was an Indigo person became both my passion and biggest frustration when I came to suspect that I might be one of these people. How could I truly know for certain? In the metaphysical literature many were repeating a statement that was originally made by Drunvalo Melchizedek that people of this persuasion had upgraded DNA that explained their supernatural traits and abilities. He said these new beings had 26 base pairs of the DNA in the "on" position versus the usual 24 of normal people. As a physician I took his statement to heart but need to scientifically verify it before I could repeat it and perhaps find a simple blood test to test for it. I followed this lead all the way to the Human Genome Project that has been researching DNA characteristics since 1990 in an attempt to identify the 20,000 to 25,000 genes in human DNA but also to determine the sequence of the 3 billion base pairs that make it up. If anyone could verify these statements, they certainly seem capable I thought. I spoke to three different geneticists who had no idea what I was referring to. They needed to know which specific gene I was describing. Not having that specific information my only lead crumbled.

It wasn't until I met Dr. Richard Boylan who has been researching what he calls the Star Kids and Star Seeds for nearly 25 years when I found my conformational tests. He developed a 54 question questionnaire along with a technique using dowsing rods that measures the individual's bio-electromagnetic-photic field. Both combined give a high correlation of accuracy. The technology of dowsing for underground water or buried electrical lines is well accepted. Using the dowsing rods to measure the size and distance of the body's bio-electromagnetic-photic field is not so well known, but very accurate with if performed by a skilled dowser. The questionnaire can be found either on his website; under "star kids questionnaire" at drboylan.com, or in my recently published book Indigo Awakening; A Doctor's Memoir Of Forging An Authentic Life In A Turbulent World.

Dowsing can be easily learned by taking either two pieces of metal wire from a coat hanger or copper wire bent at a 90 degree angle, holding them lightly between your bent index finger and thumb pointed at the individual and simply ask the rods to show you a "yes" (they will separate out laterally) or a "no" (they will come together and cross). Concentration with intension is imperative for this exercise. If your grip is too tight they will not be free to move so it is always more accurate to place the portion of the wire you are holding in drinking straws so they move more freely. Once you have become proficient at communicating with your rods, stand at least 30 feet from the person you are attempting to measure and walk slowly toward them all the while asking the rods to show you the outermost margin of the person's electromagnetic field. When the rods separate to the outside is where you begin your counting the distance away from the individual.

According to Dr. Boylan, a "regular USDA human's" electromagnetic field can be measured 18" - 20" off the body. A Star Kid or Star Seed (Indigo; Blue Ray) is three meters (6 feet) and above. The largest field he has ever measured was an Italian young man at 54 feet. In my practice of physically "derailed" Indigo adults, I commonly find 15 to 22 feet.

#Dowsing: The Pseudoscience of #WaterWitching

by Benjamin Radford, Live Science Contributor | May 17, 2013 05:58pm ET A forked twig is the most common form of a dowsing, or divining, rod.Credit: Grandpa | Shutterstock

Dowsing is an unexplained process in which people use a forked twig or wire to find missing and hidden objects. Dowsing, also known as divining and doodle bugging, is often used to search for water or missing jewelry, but it is also often employed in other applications including ghost hunting, crop circles and fortunetelling.

The dowsing that most people are familiar with is water dowsing, or water witching or rhabdomancy, in which a person holds a Y-shaped branch (or two L-shaped wire rods) and walks around until they feel a pull on the branch, or the wire rods cross, at which point water is allegedly below. Sometimes a pendulum is used held over a map until it swings (or stops swinging) over a spot where the desired object may be found. Dowsing is said to find anything and everything, including missing persons, buried pipes, oil deposits and even archaeological ruins.

They got it wrong

Part of the reason for dowsing's longevity is its versatility in the New Age and paranormal worlds. According to many books and dowsing experts, the practice has a robust history and its success has been known for centuries. For example in the book "Divining the Future: Prognostication From Astrology to Zoomancy," Eva Shaw writes, "In 1556, 'De Re Metallica,' a book on metallurgy and mining written by George [sic] Agricola, discussed dowsing as an acceptable method of locating rich mineral sources." This reference to 'De Re Metallica' is widely cited among dowsers as proof of its validity, though there are two problems.

The first is that the argument is a transparent example of a logical fallacy called the "appeal to tradition" ("it must work because people have done it for centuries"); just because a practice has endured for hundreds of years does not mean it is valid. For nearly 2,000 years, for example, physicians practiced bloodletting, believing that balancing non-existent bodily humors would restore health to sick patients.

Furthermore, it seems that the dowsing advocates didn't actually read the book because it says exactly the opposite of what they claim: Instead of endorsing dowsing, Agricola states that those seeking minerals "should not make use of an enchanted twig, because if he is prudent and skilled in the natural signs, he understands that a forked stick is of no use to him."

If dowsing could be proven to work, what could the mechanism be? How could a twig or two metal wires know what the dowser is looking for (water, money, minerals, a lost item, etc.), much less where it could be found? The proposed mechanisms are as varied as the dowsers themselves. Some sources claim that strong psychic energy is radiated by the object and detected by the dowser; others believe that ghosts, spirits or mysterious Earth energies direct the dowser to their targets.

Dowsing: No better than chance Skeptic James Randi in his "Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural," notes that dowsers often cannot agree on even the basics of their profession: "Some instructions tell learners never to try dowsing with rubber footwear, while others insist that it helps immeasurably. Some practitioners say that when divining rods cross, that specifically indicates water; others say that water makes the rods diverge to 180 degrees."

Though some people swear by dowsing's effectiveness, dowsers have been subjected to many tests over the years and have performed no better than chance under controlled conditions. It's not surprising that water can often be found with dowsing rods, since if you dig deep enough you'll find water just about anywhere. If missing objects (and even missing people) could be reliably and accurately located using dowsing techniques, it would be a great benefit: If you lose your keys or cell phone, you should be able to just pull out your pendulum and find it; if a person goes missing or is abducted, police should be able to locate them with dowsing rods.

Science differs from the New Age and paranormal belief in that it progresses, correcting and building on itself. Technology and medicine are continually advancing and refining. Designs and techniques are improved or abandoned depending on how well they work. By contrast, dowsers have not gotten any more accurate over centuries and millennia of practice.

#Divination With Sticks - The Many Uses of Sticks in Divination

By Richard Wilkins

People have performed divination with sticks for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. There are Icelandic accounts of casting costing lots with sticks during the time of Erik the Red. Likewise, the Chinese have and ancient tradition. In divination with sticks, runes may or may not be carved upon them. Some schools of thought hold that doing so, however, increases the potency of the forces at work. Another form of divination with sticks is the well known divining rod.

The divining rod, or dowsing rod, is a form of divination with sticks, usually forked, and is commonly used to find underground water sources, although it could be applied in many other ways. This forked branch is usually cut from a hazel tree, and carefully cured by the person who intends to use it. Frequent and sustained contact with the person who will use this device is absolutely required for it to work properly. There psychic energies must be aligned so that the wood is able to sense the presence of water of whatever is being sought with it.

Another way of divination with sticks, it the Chinese Chien Tung, or Chinese Oracle. This is usually a collection of bamboo twigs, or sticks, and have numbers carved into them. By shaking the container until a stick pops free, the reader acquires a single stick which can be interpreted by a reader into its relevance to the question. Some versions contain sixty bamboo sticks, while others contain seventy-eight. Most Chien Tung sets are beautifully artistic, and each set is accompanied by a chart or booklet of prophetic fortunes to match the numbered sticks. Experienced readers quickly align themselves with the powers unleashed in Chien Tung, and are thereby better able to interpret the reading.

In cases of divination with sticks where runes are carved onto the items, each rune is consulted on a chart, and the reading is provided to the querent. Great care must be taken with runes. Psychic energies have been infused into these marks, and they are sensitive to outside interference when being used. Make your casting in a quiet environment where you and the querent are able to concentrate without interruption.

#WaterDowsing

By Nigel Percyand Maggie Percy

There is one big problem with dowsing. Many people don't believe it works. They talk of fraud and fakery and gullible people. They say there is no science to it. Every result can be explained away logically or scientifically. There is an expectation that dowsing should be completely verifiable and repeatable, over and over again.

If you feel like this, then water dowsing is really going to irritate you. Water dowsing is probably amongst the oldest applications of dowsing known. It is also one of the most community minded applications known. Before the science of hydrology grew up, dowsers or water-witchers helped out by finding water sources for their neighbors. Everyone benefited. The better water dowsers got more business and a bigger reputation. But it's not scientific. No-one ever pretended that is was.

And it worked. And there's the problem with water dowsing; it works but no-one really knows why. In a world which demands explanations, wants answers, these water-witchers, go doddlebugging or dowsing and find water. No, they re not always 100% accurate. Sometimes they get dry holes. Sometimes you could probably dig a hole and find water pretty much anywhere. But those aren't the cases which annoy.

The ones which annoy are the ones where the good, reliable dowser finds the water where no-one else could and, before drilling, announces the depth and flow rate as well as the purity (or otherwise) of the water. I don't care who you are, if you're not a dowser you'll find such instances either irritating or intriguing. If you like intrigue, you'll want to do it yourself. Because that's the other thing about water dowsing; anyone can learn it, but not many actually want to admit that it works. But that's another story.

How to Put #GeothermalEnergy to Work in Your Home

by Jordan Rocksmith

Recently, there have been many advancements in “green” technology that allows homeowners to enjoy all the comforts of home while making less of a carbon footprint. One of the ways many people are making their homes more environmentally friendly is by taking advantage of geothermal heat. Some homes are able to completely rely on geothermal energy, while others use it in combination with other heat and power sources. For example, companies like Curtis Bros Drilling & Pump Service can use geothermal heat to produce naturally hot water for your home. Keep reading to find out more about how you can incorporate geothermal heat into your home.

What Is Geothermal Energy?

Geothermal energy uses heat beneath the earth’s surface to heat buildings or become converted into electricity to power homes and businesses. Even when the temperature drops during the winter, the temperature of the ground remains relatively consistent, meaning it is available all year long. Unlike solar energy, it also doesn’t depend on the amount of sun you receive, so it is available in a wide variety of climates. In some areas, geothermal heat is available as little as six feet beneath the earth's surface, while in other areas it must be extracted from deeper inside the earth.

Using Geothermal Energy

In some areas of the world, power plants are able to use geothermal energy as a greener and more sustainable alternative to traditional methods. These plants convert geothermal energy into electricity, which can then power nearby communities. The United States is currently the world’s leading producer of geothermal electricity.

Heating and Cooling Systems

For those who don’t have access to geothermal electricity, it’s still possible to take advantage of geothermal heat to heat your home instead of using fuels like gas or propane. This is most common in areas near tectonic plate boundaries, where geothermal heat is the hottest and closest to the surface. In other areas, however, it is usually still possible to extract geothermal heat with the use of a heat pump. Geothermal heat is an efficient and inexpensive way to heat your home, after initial start-up costs.

Geothermal Wells

The main way geothermal energy is harnessed is by digging geothermal wells designed to harness hot water from the earth. On a large scale, these can be used to power geothermal electricity production or supply geothermal heat for your home. On a smaller scale, they can also be used to supply hot water for home use or smaller applications like spas. Contact a company like Curtis Bros Drilling & Pump Service to learn more about how geothermal energy can benefit your home.

Asking Questions With Pendulum #Dowsing

By Y. Tilden
The history of pendulum dowsing begins with a 4000-year-old drawing of a physician using a pendulum in the healing of a patient. Pendulum usage is a mystical, magical means of divining answers to unknown questions. When a person practices this ancient art, he or she is continuing an age-old healing method, overlooked by modern medicine. The dowser holds the string or chain and allows the charm to fall straight down. The dowser then asks the pendulum a question and it reveals the answer by swinging in a certain direction.
Before a dowser begins pendulum dowsing, he asks the device to show him "yes" and then waits for the pendulum to swing. If the pendulum swings forward and backward, then forward and backward means "yes" for this pendulum. People use this interesting process to determine the gender of an unborn baby, to diagnose sickness, for locating lost objects, for obtaining spiritual information, locating missing persons, and they can also use this process for predicting the future. The knowledge of this technique opens up many doors for the user.
Pendulum dowsing is much the same as dowsing for water or water divination. The main difference is that with this process, the dowser uses a pendulum. With water dowsing, the dowser uses a divination rod, which is most often a 'y' shaped stick or staff. Many people believe that only certain people have the skill for dowsing or using a pendulum for divination, though anyone is welcome to try.
If you need a new pendulum for mystical dowsing, you should visit Shae Maree Designs. Their website at ShaeMareeDesigns offers all the tools a dowser could need.
Shae Maree Designs [http://www.shaemareedesigns.com] is the one-stop Internet emporium for dowsers. Anyone with an interest in pendulum dowsing [http://shop.shaemareedesigns.com/category.sc;jsessionid=400082E2972301C64AFF24D1C931B33E.qscstrfrnt03?categoryId=12] can buy the tools they need here.

Drilling a #WaterWell? Consider #Dowsing For Wate

by Bob Neeighbors

Soon once i moved in, the particular well went dried out, and besides, its location - downhill from your septic tank - was undesirable to state the least.

One day, as I drove about the countryside, I saw a drilling rig, hard at the office pounding the potting soil. I asked Jesus, the well driller, to come and take a look at my place.

He arrived later, accompanied by way of member of her crew, who seemed to be holding a "Y" wooden stick in your partner's hand. "First we will need to see if there's h2o here", said the man, whom Jesú lenses introduced as Carlos.

Holding a branch belonging to the "Y" in every single hand, Carlos walked to and fro on the building. Suddenly, the end of this stick shot all the way down, with his hands following a movement.

"We is going to dig here", this individual said. "There's an outstanding vein right below. "

"Let me try it out! ", I stated. He gave everyone one the branches with the "Y", and even as we reached the place, the stick jerked off with amazing push.

To make a long story short, all of us dug the properly there, and noticed water at 80 metres, which was okay for that semi-arid element of Mexico, where the application only rains during July and July.

Second Well

Fast-forward to 2008 in Latest Brunswick, Canada.

I have just simply purchased a property which has no water supply. All water there derives from private residential liquid wells.

One of all the well drillers we have contacted seems to have made some highly negative comments regarding the availability of very good water in my system of the village. He says they should go so deep they will might only obtain salty water. So bad is that it that he refuses to drill there.

Then I hear in regards to a well driller that uses old-fashioned "pounding" equiment, which usually, my informant states that, is a far superior method of finding good problematic veins at lesser absolute depths. He suggests in which before calling Mr. Mercer, your well driller, We've a certain Michael come over not to mention "switch" for h2o.

Michael uses obvious dowsing rods which he makes by rounding about wire coat hangers. Retaining one in each hand, straight face-to-face with him, he walks between the two and looks for just a vein, then another crossing the very first one. Each precious time he "hits" water, the rods open sideways.

It was interesting to view, but even more pleasant to try the idea for myself. And I could attest to the fact the rods became available when I reached the spot Michael had recommended! Not only which, as I stood there emailing him, one belonging to the rods took out of and hit me around the arm. And I swear that had nothing regarding this.

We marked the best spot with stones and sticks, as Mr. Mercer drilled presently there he found decent, clean and abundant water from a mere 70 ft.

Would he found that vein experienced he drilled somewhere else? I will hardly ever know.

What The only is if I ever really have to drill another very well, I'm not taking any chances.
