There is no need to feel isolated or restricted with so many resources available through ASD. It seems like the perfect time to enjoy our memberships: take part in Teleconference calls – whether live or replay; read up on past Digest articles; and connect with dowsers on Facebook. And why not invite a friend or relative to join you on your dowsing journey? Maybe they would appreciate a membership to access all that an ASD membership brings. Maybe they would love to have you as a Dowsing Buddy... No need to wait for a special occasion; get your buddy on board now!

Top The American Dowser Vol. 60, Issue No. 1- Winter 2020-2021 page 3 President’s Message Dear Fellow Dowsers, It has been almost a year now since our new life began on this planet we call Earth; without seeing people’s facial expressions, shaking hands, or greeting friends with that, ‘Hi, I’ve missed you’ hug! But we must carry on. Now is a time of learning and sharing of knowledge. Fortunately, ASD has a small fund set up in Memory of Walt Woods for Education. We have ten workshops, free for members, scheduled for the coming months via Zoom. Tune in. You don't want to miss these! Unfortunately, there is not going to be an in-person convention at Plymouth State University again this year. The Convention Committee asked the Trustees to cancel the in-person event as planned. However, we will still hold the Convention, virtually! The committee is working diligently to bring you the best possible virtual convention for 2021. There will be speakers, vendors, wellness practitioners, and sponsors. Watch for details. Non-profits are having a hard time now, and ASD is no exception. We need volunteers! There are several committees that are looking for assistance. Please contact Lisa at Headquarters to let us know how you can be of service. As a new or experienced Dowser, we all need confirmation. Sometimes it comes from within, or from a fellow dowser. It may come from a successfully dug well or from your mentor. However it may be, please STAY SAFE and STAY HEALTHY! Thank you, Keith Schaffer, President Top The American Dowser Vol. 60, Issue No. 1- Winter 2020-2021 page 4 Editor’s Column Hello, fellow dowsers! Dowsing is a most miraculous process, allowing us to see in the physical world what is going on in energetic realms. With every phrase that we use to the turn and spin of the tool, we delve into what most would think of as make-believe, too-good-to-be-true or balderdash. We, as dowsers, know better. Dowsing can bring us to facts, as well as spiritual truths. This issue of the Digest shares a story of dowsing for a water well, the most fundamental of survival skills. Learn the importance of a well driller’s loyalty when drilling your exact placement. A few of our authors share theories on intention, and how important our focus is to manifesting what we want in our world. From the words that we say and surround ourselves with, to the actions that back them up, our intentions are the foundation to the dowsing that is to follow. Also covered in this issue are the desires and processes to move out the energy of the things we would rather not have in our lives, the distortions and detrimental. We can learn about that here, too. If you have a theory on how to dowse for something, a story of a dowsing day that others might benefit from, send it in. We would love to hear from you -and we would love to display more photos of our members with tools in hand...email them to: [email protected] If you can think to do it, you can dowse for it. I wish to thank our editors for their work on this issue of the Digest: Alison Kelley and Joan Gallo and proofreaders; Sharry Hope, Jeannette and Susan McNeill Spuler. Take care! Best of Blessings... Sharon Mahany, Coordinating Editor Our Editors: Alison Kelley and Joan Gallo Top The American Dowser Vol. 60, Issue No. 1- Winter 2020-2021 page 5 Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Hi - I'm a member of ASD but I haven't looked at your website in quite a number of months. Today I opened it and saw the new ASD website lay-out (nice job!), and a photo submitted of a labyrinth someone created over the summer. There must be something in the air because we, too, had a gentleman come out and set a labyrinth in the yard with stone! I used Freddy Silva's “Templemaking” DVD suggestions to activate the labyrinth to restore balance, healing, and good energies to the entire region. This area known as Tualatin has a LOT of water thanks to the nearby river, and a history of abuse to the land, elements and indigenous from the early settlers. My hope was to help heal those wounds and restore the spirit of place. The link below, if you're interested in reading, shows how I incorporated the labyrinth in an inspirational blog. https://reginachante.org/2020/10/25/acknowledging-the-cultural-creatives-in-our-lives/ Best wishes! Regina Chante ~~ www.IAHP.com/ReginaChante Tualatin, Oregon, USA 503.422.6247 In the photo is Jake, our friend who built the labyrinth, and my dog, Bodhi.
