Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

Dowsing is like any other metaphysical ability. That is, some can do it, some can't. Some are really good at it, others are only modestly or occasionally good at it. Also, like other abilities, practicing (a lot) helps a great deal, as does having a personal meditation practice.

All abilities are individual. It's a myth that we're all psychic, although most of us have at least a modicum of psychic ability. It's like playing the piano: most of us can bang out "Chopsticks", but few can be concert pianists. Practice helps, and it can turn a modest ability into something grand, but it won't happen for everyone.

I'm not very good at dowsing, although I admit to not having tried with all methods (copper, wood, etc.). But I'm a very good interspecies communicator and "general" psychic. I wish I knew a good dowser because I find it a fascinating skill.
