The Common Thread Group will meet on February 7th in Waveland Hall at Plymouth Church beginning at 7pm. We will open with a brief meditation, followed by a few short announcements (we ask that you, please, be respectful of our presenters by keeping these short. You may place additional information on the tables for people to review). Cathy Lindsay will then give her report on the astrological aspects for month.
OUR TOPIC FOR THE MONTH ****** DOWSING
Have
you ever seen a member of the spiritual community pull their necklace up and
start spinning the pendulum? Or pull a pendulum out of their purse or pocket
and start swinging it to and fro or in a circle? Sometimes, you can see them
mumbling something under their breath.
Well,
the technical term for that is "dowsing". Originally, dowsers were people using
two wands to find places to dig water wells, and it could be very effective.
There are even now dowser groups in Iowa and locally that have meetings to
practice their talents, although now dowsing is more spiritual connection than
water wells.
One
of our members who is very, very talented with this technique is Barbara Kerns
and she will share some of her wisdom and experience with us at our next meeting
on Thursday, February 7th. She will introduce the Dowsers she has studied with,
the books they have written & of course, the main agenda they have in their
teachings. Robert Detzler, Raymon Grace as well as Annalise Hagemann, Joey Korn
and one or two others are ones she has known or studied.
There
is talent to this, but it is a talent we can all learn.
Barbara
Kerns has been a student of metaphysics since her early teens. She is a
graduate of the Science of Mind Course, a Reiki Master/Teacher, and a Spiritual
Response Therapy (SRT) Counselor. Barbara was introduced to Spiritual Response
Therapy in 1988 at a First Iowa Dowser’s meeting. A new book, “Your Mind Net”,
by Robert Detzler was the subject of discussion that day. Barbara purchased a
copy and by 1991 had become a serious student of SRT earning her Certified
Counselor’s Certificate and, soon after, she became qualified as a Certified
Teacher. She no longer teaches but continues to do consultations and clearings
when requested.
Recently,
Barbara became interested in Access Consciousness and the “Bars” process. She
became a certified facilitator and is now able to provide a Bars session for
those interested.
