EMDG Chairman's ReportWe welcome reports, photos or comments on any of our meetings. Please email to East Midlands Dowsing Group.
A condensed update of our group's activities in 2004. Meetings were held on the second Friday in the month through-out the year. There were speakers on eight occasions and a variety of in-house practical dowsing sessions on those nights when speakers were not booked. The speaker topics covered a wide range of subjects, some of which were of a direct involvement with dowsing and others where the predominant aspect was that of alternative therapies. The less obvious interface between dowsing and many alternative therapies is that change can be monitored externally with dowsing. Emotional Freedom Technique, NLP - the Neuro Linguistic Programme, Spiritual Healing and Gypsy Shamanism were some of the subjects greatly enjoyed, evidenced by the batteries of questions posed to the speakers at the end of their presentations. Other speakers covered practical dowsing applications even if, in some cases, their discussions were (temporarily) dowsing knowledge to be aspired to! We were fortunate in being able to call upon the chairman of the British Society of Dowsers chairman of the Earth Energies Special Interest Group. His talk was enthralling and expanded the awareness of many present to a remarkable degree. Another evening we were entertained and instructed by a professional dowser. He demonstrated to many of us that dowsing, like so many aspects of life, does not stand still. What was a given certitude twenty and more years ago has been questioned and superseded by new generations of dowsers. From April through to October, seven site visits were made. (Site visits are generally held on the Sunday following the Friday meeting.) Aslockton's Cranmer's Mound, Melbourne Old Graveyard and Greasely "Lost" village (the latter, an ongoing exercise) Wollaton Hall and Bramcote's own "Sunken Church" were full of dowsing interest and well attended. The outstanding site visit of the year, however, was to the Bishop's Palace at Southwell Minster. Here, on a superb summer's day, and to a background of the Minster Choir, there was opportunities for a wealth of dowsing interests to be satisfied; archaeology, below ground structures, water and earth energies, something for everybody! The year ended with our annual Christmas Fuddle at Bramcote. John Wright |
