Hi, I am fairly new to dowsing. It's an interesting medium to search for the truth in every day experiences of "yes" and "no" answers. I am using a fairly primitive tool, however do believe if it can swing it is fine to use. It's a pink crystal on a string used as a necklace. I often get the "right" ansers and sometimes surprised by the answers that I was pretty sure were the opposite. So, I can't be influencing the swing. I used it several times a day to ask specific questions related to myself and my current situation for guidance and confirmation. I throw in a few questions I already know the answers to. However, have been disappointed when it turns out to be a false reading. I feel uncertain of my technique or belief then. Why does this occur? Isn't it all knowing? Truth be told? I have the faith and clear mind to receive an answer to a future event pertaining to myself. May I ask questions of another person where I am directly involved? Is there some divine rule to what we may ask? It's not like I am asking for lottery numbers as that is universaly a big no.
