Tracking Energies in Ireland

Palatki Cup Stone Project, Sedona

Many of us say we want to achieve harmony on our planet and resonate to the sound of Universal Love. Our hearts ache for Heaven on Earth---for Eden, that place of peace and perfect synchronicity that only exists as a vague memory for most people on the planet.  Peace on Earth is an objective that has long evaded the human species. In this riveting and thought provoking presentation, Michele Fitzgerald will discuss dowsing research she has conducted over the past ten years that reveals an important key to the elusiveness of Eden and why humans keep plunging themselves back into chaos, both collectively and individually. She will also discuss how dowsing can be used to change this situation and why now is a crucial time to prioritize this goal.

Kishori Aird, Medical-intuitive, Author

Left:  Professionally trained in naturopathy, Kishori Aird is a medical-intuitive practitioner. During her consultations, she uses a variety of techniques, including kinesiology and DNA repogramming. Right: "DNA Demystified - A Practical Guide To Reprogramming The 13 Helixes At Zero Point"

Mrs. Aird has a long spiritual history, beginning with living in an ashram at age 18. When she was 20, she began her studies in nursing with the hopes of becoming a midwife. With a change in plans, she decided to start her own family at age 25. During this time, she moved to Ottawa, where she worked at l’Arche Jean Vanier, a home for mentally challenged persons. In 1986, she returned to Montreal and sought training in variousf fields of healing, including hypnotherapy. Since 1987, she has completed her training as a health professional, a discipline based on naturopathic and emotional therapies. She has also studied tantric practices, and is a Reiki master.

In 1990, Kishori was initiated to kinesiology on the west coast of the United States. She has since perfected this technique by collaborating with naturopaths and chiropractors. In 1993, she opened her own clinic and started working with clients by telephone as a professional medical intuitive. Since 1994, she has been giving courses on how to use kinesiology and the art of developing one's own medical intuition. Since the summer of 1997, she has been doing research on DNA including how to reprogram it and own it. She then developed reprogramming techniques, which she currently teaches.

In her new book, "DNA DEMYSTIFIED, A Practical Guide To Reprogramming The 13 Helixes At Zero Point", Kishori Aird unveils previously unpublished information on DNA

According to Kishori, functioning with all 13 DNA strands allows you to transcend a dualistic vision of reality in order to live "at zero point," that is, somewhere between the light and the shadow. At "zero point ," one enjoys a non-linear perspective, developing compassion, understanding, abundance, humility, and self-esteem.

Did you know that DNA possesses a vibratory, electromagnetic field that is sensitive to human intention? Did you know that the study of the human genome covers only 3% of all DNA and that scientists refer to the rest as superfluous or non-coded? Did you know that DNA contains not 2 but 13 strands and that these can be reconnected and activated?

Kishori Aird explains how DNA can be reprogrammed. More specifically, she explains how to install new programs or codes directly into the genes, and provides lists of instructions, referred to as "modification protocols."

Fred Barnes, Health Kinesiology

I first came to Health Kinesiology as a client, suffering with Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS) and Fibromyalgia (FM) since early childhood. I became totally disabled after a surgery in 1993. It seems I had seen every doctor within a fifty-mile radius, and I had taken dozens of pharmaceutical drugs, but only got worse. The condition of my blood became so poor that I was in real danger. Most of the time if I wasn’t in bed, I was in my recliner. On the advice of a friend I went to an HK practitioner, Madeline Downey. Her sessions consisted of psychological correction, allergy corrections for chemical and environmental substances, and nutritional support, all of which helped to rebuild my immune system. I gradually became stronger and stronger. Within a few months, 90% of my pain and fatigue were gone. After doing subsequent blood tests, my doctor commented, “ Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it.” My blood had become almost normal. I regained my strength. I literally got my life back, thanks to the 25 years of experience and skill of Madeline Downey with HK.

After experiencing such a dramatic recovery, I knew I wanted to study this fascinating method of treatment. I began formal training with Madeline Downey and then with Dr. Scott. I have completed HK Courses 1 through 9, seminars in Geobiology, the “Scott Protocol,” and 16P, an advanced class designed to help hone out skills as professional HK practitioners. Words cannot express how excited I am with this work, not only because of what HK has done for me, but also because I’ve seen it help so many clients regain control of their health, sometimes dramatically.

HK was developed by Jimmy Scott, Ph.D. a physiological psychologist, natural healing and nutritional consultant. HK is a system of Bio-energetic kinesiology that finds disturbed energy flow in the body/mind and corrects it. Helping many people heal energetically from a wide range of symptoms

During a Health Kinesiology session the client’s bio-energy system must be in balance. This is where HK differs from the other types of Kinesiology, which do not require that the energy body be in balance. To determine if the energy body is in balance, we use muscle testing.

HK practitioners encourage clients to see their doctors and/or psychologist if they are experiencing painful and persistent symptoms to rule out a serious condition. HK is not a substitute for allopathic medicine or psychological counseling, but is a recognized compliment. HK is currently practiced in the U.S., Canada, and much of the world. It has become especially popular in Israel. In Germany, a separate course is available for doctors and one for laypersons, and 90% of HK students in Germany are doctors. In England, Health Kinesiology is an accredited course of study at universities.

HK addresses:  Allergies to food, grasses, medication hypoglycaemia nutrient blockages psychological concerns that are affecting energy pain ADD/ADHA tissue damage addictions anxiety fears asthma candida depression sinusitis wrist problems panic attacks arthritis backache learning difficulties sports injuries tiredness dizziness breathing diffculties and much more.

Dr. Ghanshyam Singh Birla is a renowned author, teacher, speaker, vedic palmist and astrologer.

What began in May 1972 with 300 square feet of office space in Montreal has now expanded into a 300-acre bucolic estate in the country, Village Lac Dumouchel: Retreat Center, which serves as an international facility for studies and services in Vedic palmistry and astrology, holistic services and and ayurvedic healing.

Centuries ago, the sages of India established a system of knowledge stemming from the Vedas, the earliest sacred Hindu writings. They studied the hands as a means to unveil and understand the self and relationships with others. They saw that the unique patterns of lines and signs in the hand come into being as a direct result of the way we think. Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects.

Our hands offer us an objective view of who we really are. Through the study of palmistry, develped centuries ago , we have the opportunity to see to what extent our thoughts and feelings influence our happiness and the harmony of those around us. As we exercise our will in choosing positive patterns of thinking to replace any negative ones, we see our lines begin to change, reflecting a shift in our consciousness.

Just as we continuously change and evolve, so do the lines on our hands.

Throughout our lifetime, our bodies register change. For example, the lines on our face that we acquire with age reflect experience and, we hope, wisdom. Lines and signs on our hands, present at birth, grow as we evolve, signifying the accumulated experience of our lives.

Barbara Allys Brandt

is a lifelong social change activist, independent scholar, writer, and researcher from the Boston area, who was never interested in dowsing or other esoteric, energetic phenomena until 2000, when a series of unexpected mystical experiences opened up her consciousness to greater energetic and spiritual awareness.

Until then, her activist and research interests were in solar and renewable energy and sustainable economics, and following publication of her book Whole Life Economics: Revaluing Daily Life (New Society Publishers, 1995), she became an international speaker on emerging feminist, democratic, and environmentally sustainable economic theories and practices.

In 2000, seeking personal healing, she was given a sequence of homeopathic remedies, most of them elements, including Hydrogen, which shortly thereafter initiated in her the mystical experiences described above.  After this, she developed considerable psychic intuition and energetic healing abilities (and enhanced them by studying dowsing with Kate Rafferty and energy healing with Dr. Kam Yuen).  In 2003, the spiritual vibrations of the Elements of the Periodic Table communicated with Barbara, and asked her if she would be willing to co-create with them a new spiritual/energetic healing system based on the 118 spiritual healing vibrations and Messages from the Elements.

In order to carry out this project, Barbara joined with friends of hers who were also psychics and energy healers, to establish The Open Table Foundation (www.elementmessages.com), to discover the healing Messages from the 118 Elements of the Periodic Table, and explore how to use them for applications which include individual self-understanding, self-transformation and healing, cosmic guidance, understanding the deeper spiritual meanings of historical events, and other fascinating purposes.  The colleagues of The Open Table Foundation are currently writing a book about their work, and are presenting workshops at the American Society of Dowsers Convention and other venues in the U.S., as they continue to research and explore this new “Atomic Archetypes” healing system.   Dowsing is an important part of both their research methodology, and the applications of this new system.

DIANE & LEROY BULL

Diane and Leroy Bull at Dr. Ibrahim Karim's Biogeometry Advanced Training Course, April 2006, Toronto.

Leroy Bull, author and past President of The American Society of Dowsers, from Bucks County Pennsylvania, has been dowsing for over fifty-one years. Leroy has a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Husbandry and a Master of Science degree in Food Technology.

Leroy has been featured in the New York Times newspaper and in Smithsonian Magazine, as well as in local newspapers. He is a past keynote speaker at the British Society of Dowsers. At present he has been to Japan ten times as part of a team of four psychics helping to find 25+ year-old time capsules and aiding the authorities to find people. This has become a Japanese television two-hour feature show aired Saturday evenings in Japan (channel 4) during prime time. The show is entitled “The Psychic Investigator.”

Leroy has successfully dowsed at least fifteen hundred water wells. Other dowsing jobs include approximately two-thousand earth energies projects, thousands of map dowsings and teachings, vein diversions, mineral dowsing, lost people/pets/items and assorted specialty requests. Leroy has been channeling for over twenty-five years.

Diane Bull is an Ordained Interfaith Minister and Feng Shui practitioner and teacher.

Since 1977 Diane has been a student and practitioner of the ancient art of Feng Shui, primarily Black Sect Tantric Buddist Feng Shui.

A twenty-year member of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD), Diane incorporates energy sensing into her practice.   A traditionally trained scientist, Diane works to blend the exotic with the pragmatic.

As a self defined “impert”, Diane incorporates elements of Black Sect and Nine Star Feng Shui with dowsing and traditional geomancy. As a co-creative energy worker, Diane helps to bring peace and humor into life through adjustments to structural spaces, gardens and beings, by using information obtained from any agreeable loving realm. Her skills range from stone circles to essential oils. Remedies are from ancient to modern, from inexpensive to expensive, from practical to intuitive, from Eagle to Condor, and from West to East.

“Diane brings a happy face to sacred space.”

Marty Cain is an artist who builds labyrinths and sacred sites, dowses for water and geopathic stress in homes and businesses. She fully believes that the Earth and every thing on it is alive, conscious, intelligent, and ready to play with those who bring respect and their own playfulness to the opportunity.

Marty's first awareness of the spirit in nature was with her Lithuanian grandfather who took her, as a child, into the woods to ask the wildflowers if they wanted to be transplanted into his garden. She does not remember hearing the plants answer her grandfather, but she was sure they must have, as she and her grandfather always respected the wishes of those plants who did not want to be moved. Grandpa Witkus never came right out and said that plants, like animals, have wills of their own and the ability to hear and understand what people say. He just always treated them as though they did. By the time Marty was six, Grandfather had taught her how to transplant wild flowers, how to dowse for water, and to respect the wishes of all living creatures.

I am the creator and director of Sacred Cliffs Productions and Sacred Cliffs Workshops.   I studied theatre at Brandeis University, graduating in 1996 with a degree in Acting and Directing.   I spent about six years as a professional freelance stage manager working in cities around the country, including work both on- and off- Broadway.  I also acted as the assistant to Director/Producer David Breashears on his IMAX movie Kilimanjaro:  To the roof of Africa.  Having spent so long working with actors reading scripts of other people’s words, I wanted to shift my focus to working with words that people wrote themselves.  In my workshops, I address the idea that we all come to moments – Sacred Cliffs – where our lives change forever.

We must choose to jump off the cliff, often without knowing what awaits us at the bottom. Only later, once the dust has cleared, can we look back at that jump and put it into a larger perspective.  In a Sacred Cliffs Workshop, participants explore in writing where they have been and where they are going.  In multi-day we then work together we then form those words into a staged reading, because the act of sharing a story allows us to both validate our experience and move beyond it.  (Note – at the ASD Convention, we will work together on writing your stories about life as a dowser and what it means to be an “alternative thinker”.)

In the fall of 2004, I gathered a group of eight breast cancer survivors to explore their experiences of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.  These eight women walked into the workshop not sure if they could write and absolutely certain that they could not perform.  Twelve weeks later, they were so excited by what they had created that they were trying to figure out how to get more people to attend their performance.  To our surprise when the “Bosom Buddies” walked onstage, pink handprints on their t-shirts marking their bouts of breast cancer, they met standing-room-only audiences and standing ovations.  Now, a year-and-a-half after we first met, we are still bringing our message of hope and healing to an ever-widening audience.  Viewers have consistently asked us to commit our work to the screen so it can be distributed to more women and medical personnel.  I am currently producing this screen adaptation, Getting It Off Our Chests.

 Another offshoot of the original workshop is an article I was asked to write for The Journal of Cancer Education, an international medical journal, about the process that I developed and the scientific evidence to support that process.  In March of 2006, my article was published citing the measurable physical and emotional benefits of writing for just 15 minutes a day.  I wrote a follow-up to this piece for an upcoming issue of the same journal, which should be published sometime this year.  Both articles are written in everyday English, not medicalese!!

BESS, & HOWARD "PORKY" CUTTER

"Porky and Bess"

She's been married to a well driller for many years, but Bess Cutter of Virginia Beach, doesn't need to use a drilling rig to find water.   A forked stick, wire rods, or a pendulum are the only tools she uses.

Bess is a dowser. For more than a quarter of a century, she has used her tools of the trade to find water and make other discoveries. She was surprised to learn as a teenager that she had the ability to dowse for water by using a forked stick.

"I was around 13 and was spending the summer on a farm caring for a lady who had just gotten out of the hospital. She was having a water well dowsed by an old Indian gentleman and I watched him and followed behind him with a forked stick and did the things he did. He essentially taught me how to dowse without saying a word," she said.

"I grew up in a Pentecostal church, and you don't do these things there. At age 13, they told me this was of the devil, but I believe God wouldn't let me do anything that is against his will," she said.

Bess, who still dowses and teaches classes on the art, said dowsing enables you to learn much more about a site than whether water is present.

"You can determine the beginning and ending depth of the water zone and can determine if two of the zones cross and you can determine the gallons per minute for each zone and see which would produce the most water," she said. "You can triangulate it out and get in the center of the triangle to find the best spot to find water.

"In dowsing you are tuning in to the earth's energy and tuning in to nature. You learn to read and be in harmony with them," she said. "I tune into things by the vibrations I feel."

"I can tell when I'm getting close to something by feeling the Y-rod and the L-rod lock onto them and pull. It's the degree of the pull that has to do with the depth and how close and how far away you are. Learning that comes with experience," she said.

Dowsing isn't something which can be done quickly, as she said it can take two to three hours to dowse because there are often multiple streams of water on a property and the dowser has to select the main stream and determine if any of the streams cross or feed into others.

"It takes a lot of mental energy to dowse and it can be mentally exhausting," she said.

Bess added young people also find it easy to dowse. She said she taught students at an elementary school about dowsing and many of them quickly located the underground water and sewer lines which served the school

"Young people haven't been programmed that they can't do it," she said. "Dowsing teaches you a lot about yourself and it's fun and it's interesting."

Bess was elected as to the ASD Board of Trustees for the June 2005 term.

*            *            *            *            *            * Howard "Porky" Cutter, started drilling, in 1954, with his own company, H.C. Drilling Company. One year later, his father, Ellis E. "Porky " Cutter, left his job to join Howard as a partner. The company became Cutter & Dad Drilling Company. They advanced quite rapidly and soon had offices in several states. After the father passed away in 1965, the business was sold. The next following years, the father's nickname of "Porky" was passed down to Howard and he became known as, Howard "Porky" Cutter.

In 1962, Howard "Porky"earned a "Foreman Engineer Degree" from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 1983, Howard "Porky" received the 4th, "Master Ground Water Contractor Certification" issued by the National Ground Water Association. In 1987, he started, Drilling Consultants International Inc. which he operates today. This has taken him to many states, and foreign countries, such as Mexico, Central and South America, West Indies and Taiwan.

"Porky"is still very active in drilling. He and his wife, Bess, live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  For a really excellent story about Bess, please go to:  BESS!!!   WHAT a TEAM!

Read  Porky in the Army .   Porky was drafted into the U.S. Army and went through basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo.  At graduation, the commanding officer informed Porky he was the only person to go through basic training with his wife.

From Ed Stillman, President, ASD Tucson chapter,  October 2003:

"Homer Hefty made his Transition Home to the Light on March 29, 2003:  Homer was the outstanding water dowser in southern Arizona and had dowsed many wells. He was also active in ASD and was the past President of the Tucson Chapter. Homer was always interested in the metaphysical, especially the mysteries of life and death. He studied under Walter Russell while he was in the Army.

His wife Marge said, "Homer was always helping new dowsers. When we would take a dowsing call for water or geomancy, part of the deal was to train that person in the art of dowsing. A saying that Homer paraphrased was, give a thirsty man a drink and he will be thirsty tomorrow. Teach him how to dowse and he will always have water. The H L Hefty Scholarship Fund has been started at the Tucson Chapter.

Ellie Drew, who leads a group on conscious change, began a prayer circle to pray for Marge. As they began, the group noticed a bright, square, short light near four dowsers in the group. Ellie heard the words, "I'm alive. Tell them I'm alive. Thank you." The dowsers confirmed it was "Homer".

A few nights later, on April 13, Ellie was in meditation and "Homer" showed up. "I watch over her (Marge) when she sleeps. I hold her. Tell her I love her. Tell her I'm sorry I had to leave, but I never wanted to leave her. I'm more comfortable here now. It's not at all like I thought it would be. There are no words I could give you to describe it. It would be like trying to describe God. Words miss the fullness, the completeness, of being here so that any sense of "here" would be missed. Words are like describing a dot in a painting. Is it part of the painting? Yes, of course, but it is so little, you would never know what the picture was from one dot. And this painting would have to be bigger than the whole world."

"What is relevant is that I'm alive, and to let you know I'm okay. Tell them sound is important, more than light. Inner sounds. Sound is everywhere here. There you hear a tone or piano key played and you hear one note. Here, there isn't such a thing. The only equivalent would be if the global population were playing in an orchestra. That is one tone here. Using the inner tones accesses/brings through healing from here. It will heal sadness, depression, broken bones. The inner tones heal by focusing your intention like a laser. I have to go now. Tell Marge I love her." Marge says, "If this letter stretches your beliefs outside the box, go with what seems right to you."

MARNA  EHRECH

Marna Ehrech is a native Vermonter.  The daughter of extraordinary parents, Marna has been involved with metaphysics since a very early age.  Raised on organic food, instructed in yoga by age six, and was taught to dowse at the age of eight by her mother, a long-time member of ASD.   A life-threatening illness at a very young age awakened in her a special interest in healing — on the personal, group and planetary levels.  She uses dowsing extensively in her work, both diagnostically and in treatment.   Interested in minerals all her life, she studied with the renowned local crystal healer, M. "Grover" Cleveland (of Burlington) for several years in the 80's.  She continued her studies with Luis De La Lama of the Star*Life Energy System in the early 90's, working with angelic energies.  Her passion led her to combine the two; Marna has been a healer for over a decade, channeling angelic energies through crystals and gems in her work.

She works both long distance–telepathically – as well as in person.  She specializes in using the powers of the energies of the angels and beautiful crystals and minerals specimens in combination to work magic, as applied to specific situations in the client's life; situations as varied as a problem with co-workers to a husband who won't satisfy his wife to a haunting!  This specialized knowledge is the basis for her classes and courses, and led to the creation and production of Cosma Creations Angelic Energy Essences in 2002.  She was a first-time speaker at last year's convention, and received high marks for both her workshops.  Marna has been an ordained minister since 1987, and is the mother of a trio of Leo boys.  She was elected to the ASD Board of Trustees and began her term June 2005, and is also the Secretary on the ASD Executive Board.

David Franklin Farkas

David Franklin Farkas, MSEd, a gifted intuitive and spiritual healer, does remote energetic healing work with  buildings, people and businesses . He is a Technician of the Sacred. (Sacred means secret or "that which cannot normally be seen") Contact David Franklin Farkas at 888.5.RUBICON and visit his web site www.HouseHealing.com

Mystics and quantum physicists tell us "everything is energy."  David takes that a step further saying everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is interactive. He works primarily with the energy of buildings. David can see and repair the energetic structure of a building (or land).

He has developed a proprietary method called Quantum Grid Restructuring which normalizes distortions in the energetic geometry of a building. Buildings, like people, are affected by and store the effects of human emotional trauma and drama and like people can be cleared and healed of these energies.

David works in three basic modalities...
    * The first is Quantum Grid Restructuring.
    * The second is more Shamanic, doing 'energy work' on the building, clearing historic 'phantom structures' and remnants of old events, releasing ghosts and banishing meaner entities, and closing vortexes, portals and other entry points that non-physical beings use to enter our dimension.
   * The third is working with a team of seven ArchAngels who call him 'number eight.' Angels cannot intervene in our 'physical' dimension without a human asking for their help. There are also missions they cannot complete without David doing his clearing work first.
   * All of this work is done remotely.In the early eighties, David apprenticed for three years with a psychic healer who was trained by psychic surgeons in the Philippines and with a Cherokee medicine man who worked extensively with healing power of quartz crystals. He has taken innumerable workshops and training's in many forms of healing, meditation, and various personal growth techniques. These days most of his training comes in real time as direct downloads from his guides and the ArchAngels.

David is a dynamic speaker who uses accelerated learning techniques in all his presentations. He is presently developing a series of seminars, workshops, and materials based on the principles he has learned during his work. His forthcoming book, 'Three Sacred Gifts' brings together materials he has been channeling for several years. He lives with his daughter in Amherst, MA.

    Rev. Mary Hardy is a writer, teacher, herbalist, and servant in the process of bringing a new consciousness to the planet. She has a Ph.D. in Homeopathy from the Missouri College of Naturopathic Physicians, and a BA in Education from Western Michigan University.  She has written two books, The Alchemist’s Handbook to Homeopathy, and Pyramid Energy: The Philosophy of God, The Science of Man.

Mary is an expert in the use of Essential Oils, how they came to us from Mary Magdalene (she told us that the word "amygdala" comes from Magdalene) and their use today.  For more info, go to:  MARY'S OILS.

     Her interest in pyramids was inspired by an incident in 1968. Mary, her husband Dean, and their two sons, Mark and John, experienced a time loss of three to four hours. During this time, they met with the White Brotherhood and were advised to build a pyramid in their backyard. At this time they were    programmed with information to bring about the healing of the planet. The whole family has access to communication with the Brotherhood.   After building the large pyramid in 1975, Mary realized the importance of preparing oneself for the new consciousness that is approaching the earth. She has been advised and taught by a special teacher, John the Beloved. He is teaching her the methods of preparing oneself for advancement into the higher planes of consciousness. Mary also has memories of being trained in the mystery schools of Egypt, and other ancient initiations, in past lives. Mary has recently visited three important areas: France, England, and Turkey.

     In France, she realized that she had had a past life in the early 1300s, and had served and worked with the Knights Templer, and the Chathers. Here she had vast gardens and raised herbs for healing. She also had developed a strain of horses and raised them for the Knights. While in France, she realized that a large number of disincarnate people had attached themselves to her energy fields. These were people who had been brutally murdered during this time and refused to return to the light. At the urging of her guides, Mary went to the top of a hill with two other people and created a vortex, sending these disincarnate people into a reality where the Knights Templer could assist them into a realization of how they could advance in consciousness. The Knights practice was to assist the people on the road to Jerusalem. The word Jerusalem means "New Salem." Salem is where the White Brotherhood resides.   TO CONTINUE READING THIS FASCINATING STORY GO TO:  MARY HARDY STORY

Dr. Madga Havas spoke to the Toronto Dowsers October 2005 about electrical energies.  Find out more about this topic  by clicking on: MAGDA    (scroll down) and   SHOCKING!

Magda Havas, B.Sc., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent University where she teaches and does research on environmental pollutants currently researches the biological effects of low frequency electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation and is the only person in North America to teach a university level course on this subject.

Her expertise is on the biological and environmental effects of environmental contaminants.  She has worked on acid rain, metal pollution, drinking water quality and more recently electromagnetic fields.  For the past 15 years she has taught a course on Pollution Ecology which deals with the environmental and health effects of chemical pollutants (asbestos, metals, chlorinated organics, hydrocarbons, air pollution, water pollution, among others) and for the past 4 years she has taught a course on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields.

She is concerned about the adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields generated during the production, distribution, and consumption of electricity, studying this for the past 12 years with growing intensity and growing concern.

Regarding Public Policy and Scientific Evidence:  "I do not think that it is necessary for public policy makers to wait until ALL the scientific facts about electromagnetic fields are in before they act to protect the public by minimizing exposure.  We already have considerable information. "  For example:

-  We know that high electric fields and high magnetic field have adverse health effects based on studies of residential exposure and childhood leukemia, on studies of occupational exposure, and on laboratory experiments.

-  We know that magnetic fields above 2.5 milli Gauss (mG) (the range being debated is between 2 and 4 mG) are critical for children under the age of 14 and that magnetic fields at 12 mG (value is between 2 and 12 mG) are critical for adults with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer.

BRUCE IRWIN
"My mentor, the late Ted Kaufmann was always finding ways of  having fun when he dowsed. He explained to new dowsers back then, that  the "dowsing phenomenon" was in many ways very similar to your pet, in that  it always wants to please it's master. It gets bored with an all-work, no-play  approach to dowsing, and so it will start to play tricks on you to liven things  up.

His answer to balanced dowsing is to always look for the humor in  everyday life all around you, and dowse the zany off-shoots of your own  funny-bone, instead of only those areas you normally feel you need to  dowse. When calling to confirm a room reservation for my Chapter at our local  library a while ago, the perky youthful female that  answered cheerfully told me... "Oh, yes, Mr. Irwin, here it is. We do  confirm that the meeting room for your group, "The American Society Of  Dowagers,...." ...ever dowse the composition of a Dowagers Society?"   From New York State, Bruce was elected as to the ASD Board of Trustees for the June 2005 term.

JUDITH JUBB

I have been seeing colors and energy currents around people, animals, and plants all my life.  Touching a piece of  jewelry or a rock at a sacred site brings up images out of the past.  I really enjoy being able to share experiences with others.

When I was growing up, occasionally I would meet adults who gave me pointers about how to use extended sensory perception.  Teaching young people what how to use similar talents is always exciting.  In other cultures around the world, a shaman or spiritual leader would take sensitive children, and teach them the ancient ways.  In this society, very little
opportunity is available for those with abilities of related types.

 I am beginning to organize teachers in a location so such studies can be pursued. Young people with special potential will be able to learn to optimize their skills for the higher good of the population at large.  This school of intuitional studies will be open to all ethnic and religious expressions.  Faculty will consist of a resident staff and teachers visiting from around the globe, specializing in specific fields of expertise.

JOEY   KORN

Joey Korn is a dowser, energy worker, author and spiritual teacher from Augusta, Georgia and is one of the most well known and sought after speakers in North America.   He returns to the ASD Convention after a 2 year hiatus. Welcome home, Joey!

 He stepped knowingly onto his spiritual path over thirty years ago, when he had a powerful mystical experience in which he was healed of many dis-eases that had plagued his being.  He began a passionate quest for spiritual tools that we each have at our disposal to help us grow spiritually and take charge of our lives.

The first tool he found was deep relaxation and meditation, through which many of his insights have been given to him.  Joey has developed a simple yet powerful technique of deep relaxation that he teaches in his workshops and retreats.

The most powerful spiritual tool Joey has ever found, besides deep relaxation and meditation, is dowsing combined with applied intent through prayer and blessing.  He has developed a system, using dowsing and muscle testing, that can immediately validate the power of prayer and blessing in your life.

Many insights and understandings have been “given” to Joey through the years, and he devotes his life to sharing these understandings with others.  Joey has come to understand experientially, through dowsing and energy work, that we truly are energy beings, living in a universe of energy.  We are surrounded and filled by subtle energies that affect us in various ways.  Detrimental energies are weakening to us, and beneficial energies are strengthening to us.  The best part about this is that we affect the energies as much or more than they affect us.  We’re always changing the world of subtle energies with every thought, action and emotion.

Joey can help you learn to take charge of this process.  You can change any detrimental subtle energy into beneficial energy, even the subtle energy fields that radiate from electronic appliances.  You can also attract new beneficial energies to create energy environments, within and around you, to attract what you most desire into your life.  You can do this through dowsing combined with prayer and blessing.
 

Joey made a discovery about seven years ago that, surprisingly, connected his work to the ancient teachings of Kabbalah.  He has actually found the kabbalistic Tree of Life in a pattern of energies around every human being.  We imprint this pattern as we go through life, especially where we sleep.  The Tree of Life also repeats itself infinitely in Earth energies.  The Tree of Life is real, not just a symbol.  It’s everywhere around and within us, just as the ancient teachings say.  This will be the focus of his talk this year.

Joey teaches throughout the US, in Canada, and in England.  He will be conducting his Level 1 & Level 2 Workshops before the convention.  Joey and his wife, Jill, also conduct quarterly retreats at their family lake house near Augusta.  He does remote energy work through his Remote Spiritual Housecleaning services.  He’s also written a book, Dowsing: A Path to Enlightenment.  Learn more about Joey’s work at www.dowsers.com.  You can contact him at Joey@dowsers.com.

Ivan and his crew of Apprentice Druids in the Moon Maiden Stone Circle built outside of Toronto, July 2005. See Story:  MOON MAIDEN

Hi!
My name is Ivan, or Stonebear, if you like. I am a Druid, a shaman, a servant of the Goddess Gaia, our wonderful planet. I am a practitioner of an ancient system of knowledge, at whose heart is the beauty and magic of nature. Druids can be men or women of any religion, belief, race, or color. Druidry is an integrated way of life, not an intellectual exercise.

The contemporary Druid, either alone or in a group known as a Grove™, consciously creates a magical gateway into the Heart of Nature, in order to discover ways of deepening his relationship with the sacred.

Druids believe that the accepted view of the world is merely the tip of an iceberg, and that the only limitation to reality is our imagination, which can be expanded infinitely. Druids learn to change their view of the world, transforming their interactions with everyday life into experiences of magic and delicious mystery.

Druids particularly love stones and trees. They spend a lot of time in their presence, communing and interacting. One of my great passions is designing and constructing stone circles, and I work consciously with the Earth in order to generate change, according to Her will.

At the moment the Green Mountain Druid Order (the GMDO) is being born. In April 2006 I started a Druid training program in Vermont. The course will last three years, with initiations into the Bardic, Ovate, and Druid grades. It covers every aspect of basic Druid knowledge, and will create a good foundation for further development. A new class will start every year. This is a dream come true for me.

In order to build stone circles, you have to work as one unit.  Otherwise, the stones laugh at you.   You work together, you get the rhythm going, The stone pulses, you can move it where you want.

Reverend Elivia Melodey, from San Marcos, California, is the founder of the Crystal Vibrations Music Ensemble, a new genre of music for world healing, dedicated to playing the soothing, healing music of the spheres.  Crystal Vibrations Music was officially established in December of 2000 in conjunction with the recording and release of the first compact disk called, Celestial Memories.

Rev. Melodey's background includes:  Certified Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner, Certified Past-Life Regression Therapist, Lightbody Graduate, Ordained Metaphysical Minister, Ordained Spiritualist Minister, and more.

Since 1998, Reverend Elivia has led workshops and ongoing classes in spiritual development and vibrational healing all over the west coast. She works with a wide variety of alternative therapies including: Lightbody energies, essential oils, crystals, herbs, light, sound, and more.   Visit her online shop for Music,  Books, Crystal Bowl Sets, Instruments, Devas Gifts,  Wands, etc.

Bill Northern, of Warsaw, Virginia, talks to animals.  Most of us do. But for Bill, they talk back. In English. In sentence form.

"Horses sound different from each other, and way different from dogs and cats. Horses are very forceful, and dogs are kind of goofy. Cats ... I don't like talking to cats, and they don't like talking to anyone."

Silently communicating with Phoenix, a sleek chestnut gelding with a white blaze, Bill began with a diagnosis of Phoenix s physical condition.  "He's low on minerals, on calcium and selenium. Too much magnesium in relation to the calcium," Bill said. "He has an allergy problem in his nostril. There's a little bit of congestion in the lung. It's not bad."   "There's a hernia there. It's not real big, but it's a small hernia there," Bill said.

"He has trouble coordinating his front leg. It doesn't want to go in sequence with his hind leg. ... He thinks he'd be more comfortable on that leg if the hoof is trimmed, Bill continued, explaining the hoof should be cut higher on the inside.

"I don't know anything," Bill said. "I ask my angels, my spirit guides. I listen. I don't use my brain. If you get my brain-involved, you have all kinds of trouble."

Northern insists that horses (and other animals) can understand what people say. "They know exactly what you are thinking, and if you're not saying what you're thinking, they know that," he said. "We're communicating telepathically with them. They know if you're thinking about selling them, and they know your problems and your joys."  Bill was  elected to the ASD Board of Trustees for the June 2005 term.

BILL RUSSELL

Back in antediluvian times when I was a college student I had the good fortune to be taught to dowse by a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer/ well driller/water dowser. To this day, I feel that the experience was more valuable than just about anything I learned in the classroom. I used dowsing often over the years and thought I knew all there was to know about the subject. Then, about 15 years ago I got a comeuppance when I attended my first ASD conference. There, I found many people who were much better dowsers than I was, who knew much more about it and had done much more with it than I had. And they were eager to share their knowledge with a newcomer like me! Every year I look forward to returning to the ASD conferences around the country and learning more from these experts.

Early on, I couldn’t help but notice the affiliations of the potentials of dowsing and the implications of quantum physics concepts that point to the interrelationships of mind and our experience of reality. To try to bring these far-out notions into some kind of focus, I began training with the Kahuna shamans of Hawaii. Long time involvement with these three studies - physics, dowsing and shaman thinking – have shaped my picture of the world and opened doors for me that otherwise would have remained closed. From this awareness, I design simple tools to assist a person to use their focused intent to help others. You can see some of these on my website.

JOE and MARTA SMITH, Johnson, Nebraska

Joe Smith is a farmer from Johnson, Nebraska.  A septuagenarian, Joe is one of the favorite and best known dowsers in North America.  A favorite, because in addition to his wisdom he is liked and respected as both an excellent dowser and human being.  He is a past trustee and gives presentations to dowsing groups on basic dowsing, dowsing for farmers, etc.  In another setting he would be snapped up and made famous as an icon of dry farmer's wit and [un]common good sense.  Joe keeps our bombast in line with just a few well placed words.

Some of the things Joe is noted for are: his dowsing water, gas and oil skill, teaching dowsing, he's a healing catalyst, and he makes some of the best pendulums ever.  Good dowsers all over the place love using his hand crafted pendulums and medallions.  They pick up so much energy from the Universe that they seem to vibrate or "dance".  Hence the name "Joe's dancing pendulums".

Joe says:  "These pendulums work well because mainly it is the balance of the weight and the fact that they have so much surface area to pick up signals with. They are designed like a series of radar dishes, stacked one on top of another, to receive all in-coming signals.  They will send out as well as receive much more than the normal pendulum."   Joe makes each brass pendulum individually on a lathe in his shop, one at a time.  No two are identical.

What's so special about the pendulums?  We like the weight, we like the balance, their responsiveness. Perhaps there is something else, an ineffable quality that lends more importance to its success:  these pendulums are hand made by a moral man of good down to earth values, he is now one of our wise elders and a man of basic honest convictions that he has been living with and by for a long and good life, a man balanced by his peer in his wife, Marta.  What do you think he puts in to these tools that make them so special?  Intent.  No fool, our [not so] "old Joe".

ROBERT SWANTAK
In 1995 Robert Swantak experienced a powerful, spiritual/psychic awakening, allowing him to become aware of his own power and ability. His workshops teach methods to relax and quiet the mind, body, and spirit, so as to achieve an altered state of consciousness in which one realizes one’s own unlimited power and ability. The workshops also include dowsing, shamanic practices and adjusting the human aura.  Robert and jeweler Holly Young spend their time between Vermont and Florida.  [Go to ASD JEWELRY to see the gorgeous handcrafted pendants of precious jewels and charms such as dragons, dragonflies, goddesses, kokopellis, etc., Holly Young had for sale at ASD 2004 in the Vendors area, purchased by your CyberMistress.  The pricing on that page is not applicable to ASD attendees.]

DON TAYLOR Don Taylor has been interested in "things esoteric" for a number of years. He studied the writings of Manly P Hall, Walter Russell, Alice Bailey, and others. He realized that reading, while important, wasn't enough and that a methodology was required that would enable him and others to achieve cleared and balanced energy fields. He turned to dowsing as a way to gain information concerning these fields and then developed a partnership with Spirit to bring about changes that are for the highest good. He recorded these findings in the book Esoteric Tuning. Don is a member of ASD and a former trustee and treasurer of the society.

ATALA DOROTHY TOY

Atala Dorothy Toy is an interdimensional communicator and dowser. She works in partnership with all life to assess and harmonize land and personal situations. Atala is a Usui Reiki Master, a practicing yogi, a Melchizedek minister and the author of Explorations in Consciousness. In 2004 Atala helped found ISIC - the Institute for the Study of Interdimensional Cooperation.

Atala's interdimensional work began in 1994 when she was diagnosed as filled with 90% radiation and the doctor offered her two choices: quit her United Nations job, where she was working in a polluted situation, or die. She chose another course: to live, and to stay at work to learn how and why such a situation could occur. Nature responded, showing her how energy works and how it can be changed.

Once healed, she left her job and started Crystal Life Technology, a company that provides the public with subtle energy, environmental and sacred products, many of her own design. In the years since, she has expanded her knowledge and offers workshops, consultations and product to teach and assist others to successfully traverse their own challenges. Subtle internal dowsing is a major component of such work. The life forms with whom she works occasionally permit her to take photographs of themselves and she will be presenting these, and information on interdimensional dowsing, at the convention.

Mary "Mo" Wheeler, Ph.D. -   Promoting Healing in Partnership with Higher Power

Mo's Journey:   My journey has been a continuous flow of one life event into another, growing on each other and transforming the nature of my reality. At this moment of the adventure, I feel like I'm on a springboard to a whole new realm of healing and teaching.  Professionally, I was a licensed psychologist for 23 years. For eleven of those years I had a private practice in Highlands, North Carolina. I am no longer practicing as a psychologist. My personal journey has been a series of what I have now come to think of as "guided learning experiences." I have come to believe that I chose them before I reincarnated into this lifetime, and that each has had its purpose in the overall plan for the purpose of this incarnation. The major ones have been:

• The birth of two sons who have taught me the meaning of being a mother. The younger one died at the age of 3-1/2, teaching me about life and letting go and the transition called death.
• My ex-husband and I being the founding co-directors of The Mountain Retreat and Learning Centers, in Highlands, NC. It was a wonderful journey, teaching me that I could make a significant contribution to the lives of many people.
• My divorce after 22 years of marriage, teaching me the principle that we all really do the best we can at any given time, and sometimes our journey takes us elsewhere.
• My 13,500 mile motorcycle tour across the United States and Canada (by myself) in 1986, teaching me the joy of meeting others along the way and helping me feel confident and a part of the goodness and beauty of our world.
• My motorcycle accident in 1987 that almost killed me, but just left me with a lot of arthritis, teaching me where our priorities ought to be and how to overcome physical obstacles along the way. And reminding me that I still had important work to do.
• Becoming a grandmother to two wonderful children, teaching me the true reward of our parenting efforts!

Highlights of my professional career include:

• Education: B.A. from Smith College; M.Ed. and Ph.D. from Georgia State University
• Author of Creative Energy Therapy: The Lightworker’s Guide to Healing
• Creator of the Early Recollection Technique (See Energy Psychology in Psychotherapy, Fred P. Gallo, Ed.)
• Certified in Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods (EDxTM) and trained in TFT, EFT, TAT, BSFF, Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine, Theta Healing, Allergy Antidotes, Clinical Hypnosis, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
• Psychology Faculty of Western Carolina University for six years
• Co-Author of The Basis-A Inventory and manuals
• Click here to see Mo's complete Vita and listing of PUBLICATIONS.

Sangoma-mo:   I was originally trained in the Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler. Adler emphasized the uniqueness of each person, that people should be considered in a holistic manner, and that we feel a sense of oneness with the community of all life. This was a good fit for what I believed.

The field of energy psychology introduced me to an entirely new approach to solving individual challenges. Over the years that I was an energy psychologist, I developed my intuitive abilities and learned that I could channel the healing of Higher Power. The journey continues, although now it is a journey into the spiritual realm as well.   [Continue reading this fascinating story about what a Sangoma is and does and Mo's experiences at  ABOUT MO]

I cannot say exactly how I do what I do. I have some sense that I tune into the disharmony in the other person, make an empathic connection, and then transmute and balance his or her energy. I also align the person’s energy to the universal grid. I balance energy in many ways; the person makes the choice to use that balance to heal himself or herself.
