involving personal energy fields is to walk toward someone with your eyes closed, hands in front of you with palms facing your subject. Trying not to use any of your other senses (smell, hearing), you should be able to feel a change in your hands. Some report a tingling, some report warmth. Dogs are also very good at picking up on energy fields - I have tried sneaking up on mine and they always sense I am there (hopefully it's not a personal hygiene issue, although I have tried being downwind).

With respect to water dowsers, I took a dowsing class from a friend (who is also a Reiki master) last summer. In addition to teaching traditional methods and the like, he spoke about areas where water lines cross and the necessity of 'clearing' them. Years before, his young son had succumbed to cancer. Not long after, this gentleman learned of the negativity that comes from crossed lines, so he dowsed his house only to find that his son's bed had been sitting right on top of two intersecting water lines. During his class, I took copious notes, which are now buried with the rest of my copious notes on other subjects, but could probably be excavated and shared if someone were interested in hearing more.

I believe that most people possess the ability to dowse, but those with a higher sensitivity to energy fields would obviously be more successful. In the class I participated in, the dowser had us meditate to quiet our minds prior to setting out across the subject area.
