We came to Nave Permacultura to finish repairing and organising the van. Tonight a special person came for dinner: Angelo Bodo. He is a dowser.
It was very interesting to hear him talking about his work. He can tell where there is water and even how deep. This is very important to know not only in case you want to dig a well in your property, but also for health reasons. If there is an underground river and you sleep on it, it draws away your energy and it can even make you sick, giving you cancer. There are lines of energy everywhere and where they cross, it is too strong for humans and that also can cause problems. He can feel all of this and warn you, or put some little pieces of metal that would counteract their effects.
He made us do some exercises that you could try yourself. Make a circle with your thumb and your index fingers, and hold it as strong as you can. Ask someone to try to open it. Then take your mobile phone, or tobacco, or something else which is harmful to you, in the other hand and try again. The second time it was harder for me to hold the two fingers together.
You can try the same exercise while k
eeping the finger or your other hand at the centre of a circle drawn on paper, and then try to hold it with the same strength after drawing a line that goes out of the circle. (see picture).
Once during a conference an academic from Polytechnic asked him how could he explain scientifically what he was doing. I loved his answer: “You are the scientist, so you should explain me. When I tell people to dig in a point and they find water, it is a fact. I can’t explain why I know, but I know.”
