Tonight I found Paramahansa Yogananda’s Prayer for Peace posted on the website of the Self Realization Fellowship, the organization he founded. I recorded it on my SanDisk (similar to an iPod only cheaper) and took it into the other room for meditation. I find it difficult to meditate in this room due to electromagnetic frequencies from the computer. I went out into the living room and listened to the blessed prayer I’d recorded, then was inspired to chant “Om Shanti” for a time. I highly recommend it as an enlightening heart-love experience that envelops the world. This kind of strong joyful peace-giving emotion of love directed at world leaders, and at every world citizen, can truly make changes in this world.

My fascination with Paramahansa Yogananda is recent. I woke up about two weeks ago with a clear memory of seeing Paramahansa Yogananda in my dream. He approached me twice to say something, I’m not sure what. He uttered a sound, somewhat harshly I thought, and pointed at me forcefully. As I said, it happened twice. I don’t know what he said because my waking mind couldn’t bear it, I guess. But ever since then I’ve been in a rush to gain yogic wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda himself, and from other sources who I may name in another post. I’ve found some amazing spiritual teachers online!

I recall that much earlier in my life I was enthralled by reading a blessed book, The Path of the Masters: The Science of Surat Shabd Yoga The Yoga of the Audible Life Stream. It was given to me by my librarian at a continuation high school I attended. She was a devotee of Sant Mat. She also introduced me to Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, and invited me to her home for a vegetarian dinner. I’m not sure whether I became vegetarian before or after I met her, but it has been my preference for many years. I remember being seventeen at the time I met her, and seventeen when I became a vegetarian. Maybe she took an interest in me because I told her I intended to be vegetarian, or was starting to be one. (I’m fifty-six now, so you’ll understand why I can’t remember the details. That was thirty-nine years ago!)

About that time I also heard about Paramahansa Yogananda’s most famous work, Autobiography of a Yogi. I feel a tad bit frustrated with myself for not reading it then! But right now I have a copy and am reading it - and find it to be easily understood and fascinating. He tells his story in a way that keeps the pages turning. There’s nothing here that’s too difficult for an average human to understand.

In my search for yogic wisdom I came across a great website - GurusFeet - which provides social networking for all people following or looking for a guru. I’ve also written about my search for gurus online at the Squidoo site. I will be updating that page as I learn more and have time for updates.

If you go to GurusFeet.Com you can find my page here: LindaJM - I hope you’ll connect with me there!

This is a collection of dowsing and pendulum healing resources:

I learned a lot about pendulum dowsing this year, using it for everything from changing energetic fields from negative to positive, to predictions. I correctly predicted who would win the US presidential election even before he won the primary election! Of course the most important task is dowsing healing.

Since dowsing has become a big part of my healing and spiritual practice, I’ve put together the following resource on dowsing.

Raymon Grace

My dowsing teacher is Raymon Grace. I’ve never met him but purchased two of his DVDs and read both of his dowsing books: The Future Is Yours: Do Something About It! and Techniques That Work for Me, a Mini-Course in Management of Energy for Improving Your Life. Raymon Grace is a pioneer in development of dowsing healing techniques using both a pendulum and a bobber.

Raymon Grace has several websites. Here are three of them: Raymon Grace Projects, Raymon Grace, and The Raymon Grace Foundation. Raymon Grace also has a page on the Coast to Coast AM site as he’s been interviewed there three times, discussing dowsing, healing, energizing water, and expelling entities.

If anyone still believes that you can ask pendulums only yes or no questions, you really should learn more about it from Raymon Grace. I never really understood how powerful a tool pendulum dowsing can be for healing until I watched his videos.

Beginning Dowsing Instructions

If you’re starting to study dowsing you should read A Letter To Robin: A Mini-Course in Pendulum Dowsing, a free e-book by Walt Woods. There’s a companion e-book called Companion to A Letter To Robin which contains information for teachers and students, and much more. This is all essential information.

Dowsing Charts

There’s a very useful dowsing chart in the free e-book, A Letter to Robin (backtrack to the last paragraph if you skipped that one.) That chart should fill the needs of every beginner. However when you feel the need to go beyond that, you can find an outstanding book of dowsing charts at Amazon: Pendulum Charts: Knowing Your Intuitive Mind. I purchased this book a few months ago and find it to be very useful. There are 49 charts in this book, plus one blank that you can use for any purpose that fits your needs. The pre-designed charts are all half-circles, which I prefer to full-circle charts. The charts available in this book: Master Chart, Alphabetical-Numerical, Yes/No Percentage Chart, Quantity Factor, Time Factor, Vitamins Chart, Essential & Trace Minerals Chart, Amino Acids Chart, Tissue Salts Chart, Food Supplements Chart, Anti-Oxidants Chart, pH Acid/Alkaline Chart, Enzymes For Digestion Chart, Herbal Remedies Charts (three of them), Flower Essence Remedies Charts (two of them), Nutrition and Food Allergies Chart, and many others including chakras and even automobile diagnosis! This book is printed on heavy card stock and the covers are water resistant.

There’s another pendulum chart book, Practical Pendulum Book: With Instructions for Use and 38 Pendulum Charts. I haven’t purchased this one yet but I looked through the preview section on Amazon and saw that it has a lot of charts that are different from the charts in the book I purchased. For example there’s a chart to help a person choose a profession, and another chart for help in deciding what to do during a holiday vacation.

Pendulum

Do you need a good pendulum? I bought this kit a while back. I never used the cards and book that came with it, but the little silver pendulum was my favorite until one day last summer when I took a trip to Mt. Shasta and lost my little pendulum. Thankfully I was in MT. SHASTA which has lots of metaphysical bookstores. First I drove to the top of the mountain again to see if I could find my silver pendulum, but it was gone. So I drove down to the little town of Mt. Shasta and fortunately got into a store just before it closed, and bought two gorgeous pendulums - one for me and an identical pendulum for my significant other, Bob.

Anyhow, if you need a pendulum you could either drive to Mt. Shasta and look to see if you can find mine, or just buy this pendulum dowsing kit. The little silver pendulum is awesome. Bob and I have talked about buying another.

This page is my permanent resource page for dowsing healing and especially pendulum healing. Whenever I find more resources worth sharing, I’ll post them here.
