Awakening the Third Eye

followed, not even mastered – the preliminary techniques of
opening the third eye, as indicated in this book.

12.7 Dowsing the lines: the gear

You will need two L-shaped rods and two ball-point pens.
The rods are made of thick wire. The longer side of the L is
approximately 40 centimetres (400 millimetres) or 15 inches. The
shorter side is about 12 centimetres (120 millimetres), or 4.5
inches. A few millimetres either way won't make any difference.
An excellent way of making rods is to get wire coat-hangers and
to cut them as indicated above. If wire coat-hangers are not
available you can use any metal wire, provided it is rigid enough to
keep its L-shape.
Then take two cheap ball-point pens. Remove the ink parts and
keep only the plastic shells. Insert the shorter parts of your L-
shaped rods inside the shells. This is all you need to dowse.
IMPORTANT: your rods must be able to rotate freely inside the
shells, so make sure:

1. that you have made a sharply bent 90 degree angle between the
   two parts of your rod, and not a progressive curve;


2. that on each side of the L, the wire is as straight as possible. If
   the shorter side of the rod is bent, even slightly, then unwanted
   friction will hamper the free movement of the rod.
   I suggest that you always leave two rods and shells in the boot of
   your car, so you have them at hand whenever you need to dowse.

12.8 Learning the eye-belly attitude for dowsing

Dowsing has to do with an ‘eye-belly’ awareness. This means being
aware both in the third eye and in the area below the navel. To
develop the eye-belly awareness, first practise walking around the
room keeping a strong awareness of the navel area or, more
precisely, the energy centre one inch below the navel. You do not
need to locate the centre precisely, just be aware of the area below
the navel. Walk ‘from the belly’. Imagine you are a cowboy or an
American policeman, both usually quite good at walking from their
belly. Or walk like a Japanese master of martial arts.
The lines are made of an etheric energy that is very close to the
physical plane. From an experiential point of view, the key word
for etheric is: vibration. Roughly speaking, whenever you feel a
vibration, you feel the etheric. Some etheric vibrations are quite
tiny and subtle, half way between a light and a vibration. Others,
