About the Author

Walt Woods is past President of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD). He lectures at ASD Conferences and the Ozark Research Institute "Power of Thought Schools" and conferences. Also, he talks nationally and internationally about dowsing and subtle energies. In addition, he is a research scientist studying bioelectromagnetism, healing and brain waves of altered states.

Walt is the author of two books. "Letter To Robin" is one of the most popular books on dowsing. It is available in German, Spanish, and English. The French version will be added soon. "Powers That Be" , a kit containing a wonderfully illustrated book and dowsing instruments, was published in April 2000. Powers not only introduces the novice to dowsing, but to an array of other fascinating and fun areas of the subtle world, such as seeing auras.

Source of Information:

Over a period of ten years, starting in 1980, I had developed a “Multipurpose Dowsing Form” and its accompanying booklet. This dows-ing system started as one page and eventually grew through twenty-six revisions to eight pages. The revisions were given away at many dowsing meetings. As a result, I received information and suggestions from many dowsers. This stimulated new revi-sions. Eventually, the Multipurpose Dowsing System became so in-depth that begin-ning dowsers had trouble understanding it. It was then that I realized the need for a simple, easy to understand, how to learn to dowse booklet. This booklet needed to include instructions for using the pendulum, programing or establishing parameters and conditions for your dowsing, and how to ask the dowsing questions. Even though dowsers successfully use many different devices and many different methods, there appeared to be an underlying basic system at work. This letter to Robin is based on my perception of the principles, knowledge and understanding of many dowsers. Please note that skilled dowsers usually specialize and may add many refinements to their basic systems.
