It is mainly your sense of smell. The rods/sticks are just a way to visually represent your instinctive reaction to smell, lay of the land, and other subtle indicators.
I grew up on a farm in the most isolated part of Wisconsin. Since all I did was roam the woods, I found that I could smell snakes, rabbits, dogs, and even wet ground. I could smell when I was near a fresh water spring, creek, swamp, pond, or mud puddle. It is much stronger of a smell than just a glass of water. When water soaks into the ground, it triggers fungus and other microorganisms to activate. Each of these sources have a different smell. When I became an adult and moved to the city; I was surprised to learn that people lost the sensitivity and ignored most sents. Using the rods allows the subconscious part of your brain to use the older emotional cortex called the amygdala which has its own connections to the olfactory part of the brain. Works better than the conscious connection to the prefrontal cortex.
BTW, some people know one of the smells by name petrichor. Plant roots and mycelium bring this water from deep under ground to the surface. Oddly enough, roots grow towards the sounds of water and still bring the water from the surrounding area up to the surface.
I live in cottonwood and its so funny that everyone in my life has met Maynard in one way or another, my sister said we met him at paige springs when i was a baby but no memorable experiences lmao.
There is this great story of my hometown. Whenever someone (a farmer usually) wanted/needed a well, all the neighbors got together and dug by hand (this was some decades ago mind you). But first they'd get the local dowsing guy a call, he'd say "do it here" and got payed no matter the outcome. So one farmer got fed up with the guy (some personal vendetta too) and bought a drilling rig. He basically advertised "I will drill the well where YOU WANT IT, not where the guy says". Lo and behold, it worked 100% of the time. Some needed to be deeper than others, of course, but it worked.
Ah man wait until joe finds out about Body Code and muscle testing and how many chronically sick people it’s healing! Belief or not, it’s real! But like anything it takes practice.
Go try it joe
