Summary: From A Complete Beginner: Good News!
Review: ...And this kit is in fact oriented towards the beginner. I was very pleased with the presentation of background information and exercises and felt the material was very well balanced in terms of explaining the phenomenon of dowsing. I had tried dowsing a bit on my own without much consistent result. This book is like having an expert and patient teacher at hand to assist you.

The natural inclination is to dive in over our heads and then get frustrated. The exercises are set up to build confidence and understanding. The small pendulum that comes with the book is very responsive and nicely balanced.

As I was following along the instructions for the first exercises, the pendulum started moving in certain distinct patterns on its own. I then realized it was already responding to the exercise questions before I read them! When things like this happen you begin to understand that the subconscious mind is real and not just an abstract concept. It has certain qualities, like the propensity to interpret everything very literally. There is a story of a dowsing demonstration in which the device pointed into the audience instead of toward North as requested. It turns out it was pointing to a guy named North!

You must be very accurate when framing your questions. But this is good because it involves your logical mind (which might just sabotage your efforts if it feels left out). I also found that after practicing with the pendulum, I was able to draw with increased facility. This is understandable considering the encouraged left/right brain communication that is a part of dowsing. It should then theoretically enhance your creativity in general.

There is nothing like watching the pendulum pick out coins of like dates, or point in the direction of a lost object, to make your heart go pitter-pat. Dowsing is actually a form of active meditation and kinesiological muscle-testing, Therapeutic Touch and many other techniques are actually forms of dowsing. They all share the common bond of being worthwhile endeavors for gaining self-knowledge.

Summary: A Great Kit!
Review: I like the pendulum that comes with this kit. This kit is a good start for anyone who wants to learn dowsing techniques. It's an easy read, and great for beginners, but don't stop here, read other books that can expand your knowledge like the "Pendulum Healing Handbook" and "Pendulum Power". The only things I don't like about this book is that I object at the fact that you should tell the pendulum what is "yes" and what is "no", because that involves your conscious, and I think in any work involving subtle energies, you should put your conscious aside, and let the Spirit from within guide your pendulum. i.e. you ask the pendumlum what it considers "yes" and "no". Also, this book is not the greatest at explaining what should happen if your pendulum does not move. I'm currently in the midst of reading, "Pendulum Healing Book", and that book gives better explanations. However, I still think this is a great book, and it comes with a durable pendulum. Enjoy!

Summary: Very good book
Review: Lonegren writes an excellent beginners guide to dowsing/divining step by step instructions and a free pendulum [of excellent quality] will help anybody get a good start at dowsing, after I finished the book I lent it out to a friend of mine and she loved it! I still use the original pendulum included in the book because I haven't found a better one. Anyone interested in dowsing should consider buying this book.

Summary: A Great Kit!
Review: This is a very attractive kit including a glossy book and a lovely accompanying pendulum. The book describes how to use the pendulum, using an gattuningh technique before each question, and provides troubleshooting hints, such as what to do and what it means if the pendulum does not move or if it just swings up and down instead of in a clockwise or anti-clockwise circle. This is followed by some interesting ideas for using the pendulum using astrological charts and maps included in the book. This is a fun book to learn about using the pendulum and dowsing.
