how does it actually work?

[articulate]

i understand for the most part how dowsing works but i dont understand how the pendulum knows yes/no. does the knowledge come from inside your personal knowledge or where would the pendulum get the knowledge from to know if its yes/no right for you?
like for example, if ask it if i need wild yam for BE but i have no idea how wild yam affects BE, how would the pendulum know if i need it or not?
im very interested in giving it a try.. but i want to fully understand how everything is first~

Hiya Articulate-

Just speaking from research I've done, info from a member of American Society of Dowsers, and my own experience thus far, dowsing is a means for communicating between a higher All-Knowing sense of ourselves than our regular awareness. There are many names given for that 'higher level'...but we'll stick to that simpler description.

The means for tapping into that resource is use of a tool like a pendulum, rods, or even our own bodies such our conscious mind is able to 'understand'.

Many dowsing sites refer to a great and true quote by Thomas Edison that goes something like, "I'm not quite sure what eletricity is, but that doesn't stop me from using it"

Likewise, u don't know the nuaces of how a car runs, but u still drive it, same for a plane..but I'm sure you still fly.

The mind....it's a really powerful thing...and we only use < 15% of it...dowsing, we're just tapping into some of the rest . There's no special cerimonies or rituals needed....just you.

Hope that helps.
