Book authors do not agree on this, what is mental and what is physical Dowsing; also others added the term
"Divine" Dowsing
There are various opinions:
a) Dowsing is with or without questions/conventions
b) Make questions/conventions is Mental Dowsing
c) Body reactions without questions/conventions is Physical Dowsing
d) All Dowsing is divine
For me the "Divine Dowsing" is not Dowsing,
they need rename it;
Why? because the "Guy" upthere make all the work with or without "you" (body, witness, etc) .. can work almost all day (24hrs), but, you never know when he go (close
connection).
My choice is (A), Dowsing with or without questions/conventions is different but the same thing.
I prefer body reaction, and in somes cases a convention for ask something i cant know by other way.
The problem comes when the physical body not works for Dowsing, this cause confusion or madness.
When body cant Dowse you switch to "mental" Dowsing, no matter what you try, not work .. all is mind.
.. culprit is some change in the body (like after a meal) and/or an external influence
Certainly this issue always given much to talk about.
