La radiesthésie : une sensibilité au service du vivant

Dowsing: a sensitivity at the service of life

Dowsing – Reading the invisible through subtle movement

1. Origins and foundations of dowsing

Dowsing comes from the Latin radius (radiates) and the Greek aisthesis (perception).

It refers to the art of perceiving invisible waves or vibrations using a detection tool (often a pendulum, an antenna, or a wand). This practice has existed for thousands of years, in various forms.

In ancient Egypt, priests used vibrational tools to locate sacred places.

In the Middle Ages, water diviners detected groundwater with rods.

From the 19th century onwards, dowsing took on a more structured form in Europe, particularly in France, thanks to Abbé Bouly, who formalised the word dowsing.

In the 20th century, it extended to medical, energetic, geobiological... and animal radiesthesia.

2. Dowsing in humans

Used in therapeutic or energetic support, it allows:

  • Detect energy imbalances (chakras, fatigue, stress, etc.)
  • Test compatibility with certain foods, stones, places or treatments
  • Helps in decision making by listening to the vibrational response of the subtle body
  • Carry out contactless energy assessments, in person or remotely

The pendulum acts as an extension of the practitioner's energy system. It is not a magic tool, but rather an amplifier of feeling, capturing micro-muscular or intuitive reactions to a vibration.

3. Dowsing for animals

Animals, not speaking, are often more “difficult” to read... but their energy speaks clearly through dowsing.

It allows you to:

  • Assess their overall energy state (fatigue, tension, agitation)
  • Test the most suitable foods, plants, supplements or elixirs
  • Choosing stones, colors or energy treatments for them
  • Detect emotional blockages or behaviors linked to trauma
  • Working remotely, especially in cases of fear, hospitalization, running away, etc.

The big advantage: dowsing does not disturb the animal, it is non-intrusive, silent, and respectful of its space.

4. Tools used in animal dowsing

The pendulum (classic, wood, metal, stone): used to ask questions, make assessments, test treatments

Wooden pendulum

Wooden Pendulums: Messengers of Nature

The wooden pendulum is one of the gentlest and most natural tools of dowsing.

Made from living materials such as boxwood, olive or ebony, it carries within it the ancestral energy of the Earth.

Each wooden pendulum is unique, imbued with the memory of the tree from which it comes.

Main features:

  • Natural lightness: It delicately captures subtle vibrations.
  • Gentle Energy: Ideal for sensitive work or beginners, as it does not saturate easily.
  • Deep connection to the Earth: It helps to center oneself, to stay anchored while opening intuition.

Preferred uses:

  • Gentle energy healing work.
  • Inner search, emotional or spiritual questions.
  • Work on nature, plants, animals, and intuitive listening.

Please note:

Wooden pendulums are very sensitive to intentions.

They like to be used with respect, gratitude, and in connection with nature.

> "Silent messenger of the Earth, he whispers the answers to hearts that know how to listen."

Stone pendulum, here Lapis lazuli

Round Lapis Lazuli Pendulums: Voices of Inner Wisdom

The round lapis lazuli pendulum is a deeply spiritual tool,

connected to ancient wisdom, deep intuition and inner truth.

A sacred stone of Egyptian and Eastern civilizations, lapis lazuli is considered a bridge between Earth and Heaven.

Main features:

  • Round Shape: Perfect balance of forces. The sphere channels energy without tension, promoting clear and fluid responses.
  • Lapis Lazuli Energy: Connection with the third eye chakra (intuition, inner vision) and the throat chakra (authentic expression).
  • Deep Vibration: Promotes mental clarification, spiritual perception and the elevation of consciousness.

Preferred uses:

  • Drawings related to important decisions or soul paths.
  • Connection to spirit guides or inner wisdom.
  • Harmonization of the throat chakra to better listen and express yourself.

Please note :

The round lapis lazuli pendulum is ideal for reading between the lines, capturing hidden truths and receiving answers beyond appearances.

> "Method of the soul, it reveals what the heart already knows."


The metal pendulum, the pendulum of Thoth

Here are different variations of the Thoth pendulum:

The Pendulum of Thoth: The Sacred Tool of the Creative Word

The Pendulum of Thoth is an ancient Egyptian instrument, directly linked to mystical knowledge and universal vibrational laws.

Inspired by Thoth, the god of wisdom, sacred writing and knowledge, this pendulum is considered a true transmitter and receiver of pure energy.

Main features:

  • Sacred form: Its specific structure reproduces perfect vibrational proportions (sacred geometry).
  • Neutral and powerful energy: It captures and emits frequencies in a precise and harmonious way.
  • Natural Protection: It is less influenced by human emotion than other pendulums, making it reliable for sensitive work.

Preferred uses:

  • Energy treatment (rebalancing of subtle bodies).
  • Deep spiritual work (connecting to higher frequencies).
  • Energy purification of spaces, people, objects.
  • Advanced dowsing (vibrational work, fine research, sacred geobiology).

Please note :

The Pendulum of Thoth is both an amplifier and a purifier of intentions.

It requires conscious, respectful use, because it works directly with the vibrational intelligence of the Universe.

> "Bearer of eternal wisdom, he transmits the pure vibration of the creative Word."


The Pendulum of Isis

Here are the different variations of the Isis pendulum

The Pendulum of Isis: The Emissary of Sacred Light

The Isis pendulum is a tool from Egyptian tradition, carrying a fine, balanced and protective vibration.

Its energy is directly connected to Isis, goddess of healing, protection and spiritual elevation.

Main features:

  • Sacred Form: Composed of aligned spheres, it represents perfect resonance and universal balance.
  • Transmitter-receiver: It captures vibrational information and emits harmonious waves in return.
  • Light energy: Its radiation is soft but powerful, ideal for subtle treatments.

Preferred uses :

  • Energy treatment (rebalancing of the chakras, harmonization of the aura).
  • Spiritual work (connecting with inner guidance and healing energies).
  • Purification (cleaning of objects, places, or heavy emotions).
  • Vibrational protection (it acts as a light but effective energy shield).

Please note :

The Isis pendulum works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Its action is precise, benevolent, and is perfectly suited to therapists, energy workers and practitioners sensitive to high frequencies.

> "Bearer of sacred light, it harmonizes, protects and reveals the truth of the soul."


The witness pendulum

The Witness Pendulum: The Messenger of the Invisible Link

The witness pendulum is a unique tool in dowsing:

It has an interior cavity allowing you to insert a witness (photo, hair, sample, written word, etc.). I added the butterfly as well, the personal touch of the Opal Chakras

Through this direct energetic connection, it becomes a powerful amplifier to establish a targeted connection with a person, animal, place or object.

Main features:

  • Energy Personalization: Each inserted witness directs the vibration of the pendulum specifically.
  • Increased precision: Allows you to work in a very targeted manner, with a direct vibrational link.
  • Adaptability: Suitable for searching for people, animals, missing objects as well as for personalized energy treatments.

Preferred uses:

  • Search for missing people or animals (remote work).
  • Targeted energy treatment by inserting a witness to channel energy towards the person.
  • Vibrational analysis of a place, a product, a food.
  • Spiritual work: finding karmic connections, exploring energetic memories.

Please note :

The witness pendulum is a very sensitive tool: it requires clarity of intention, vibrational purity and respect for the established energetic link.

> "A bridge of invisible energy, it connects souls, lights paths and reveals the invisible."

The energy assessment sheet (chakras, organs, emotions)

Biotests: photographs, hair, health record, name, etc.

Mental dowsing: a technique where the practitioner does not ask verbal questions, but enters into a subtle connection with the animal to feel the vibratory response


5. What owners can do themselves

Yes, there are some simple actions that goalkeepers can perform, with practice, listening and humility.

Here are some practical exercises you can teach them:

Exercise 1 – Make a vibrational choice (food or objects)

Objective : to check what is most fair for the animal

1. The keeper centers himself and holds a simple pendulum.

2. He places two foods, two stones or two objects in front of him.

3. He asks the question: “Which one is most beneficial for [Animal Name] today?”

4. He observes the reaction of the pendulum. (Oscillation, rotation or absence of movement.)

5. The animal can also be present, but it is not obligatory.

Important : Learn not to force the answer. Dowsing is subtle and is based on a state of inner neutrality.

Exercise 2 – Checking basic energy balance

Objective : to identify a potential imbalance

1. The keeper places a photo of his animal in front of him.

2. He draws a vertical line with the 7 chakras in pencil.

3. He passes the pendulum slowly over each point.

4. A wide or steady movement indicates a balanced chakra.

5. Weak or irregular movement may indicate weakness in that area.

This exercise does not replace a professional session, but allows you to initiate a more attentive look .

6. What is the responsibility of a trained practitioner (like me)

I, as a practitioner trained in animal dowsing, am able to:

  • Carry out a complete energy assessment of the animal, remotely or in person
  • Interpreting deep blocks or false responses
  • Knowing when a no-answer is a “no now,” not a “no never”
  • Guiding guardians in choosing supplements, treatments or natural approaches
  • Avoiding the mental traps that influence the pendulum in beginners
  • Work ethically, with discernment and respect for the animal's free will

7. Dowsing is not infallible

Like sound therapy or chromotherapy, radiesthesia is not a miracle method.

It is subtle, energetic, and intuitive. There may be variations in results depending on the practitioner, the animal, and the moment.

It often requires several sessions to establish a stable relationship, confirm feelings, or support development.

It does not replace a veterinarian or a behaviorist, but supports holistic work: gentle, deep, respectful.

Conclusion : a vibrational reading to better understand your animal

Dowsing is an invisible bridge between the world of animal silence and the world of human consciousness.

It allows the guardian to listen differently, and the practitioner to translate the invisible with accuracy and kindness.

Animal Dowsing – A Deep and Intuitive Vibrational Connection

In animals, dowsing takes on a unique dimension. It does not rely on speech, but on the animal's individual vibrational frequency, which can be captured using a pendulum or other dowsing tools.

Each living being emits its own energy field: a subtle, but perfectly identifiable vibrational imprint for a trained dowser.

Concrete applications of dowsing in animals

1. Energy balancing

Dowsing allows you to assess:

  • The state of the chakras (overactive, blocked, weakened)
  • Global energy circulation
  • Receptivity to treatment (or on the contrary, the need to wait)
  • The influence of an environment (negative, saturated, disturbed)

This is particularly useful for animals:

  • having suffered trauma or abandonment
  • experiencing a major change (moving, death of a caretaker)
  • recovering from surgery
  • suffering from unexplained behaviors (aggression, apathy, isolation, nervous tics)

2. Emotional support

Thanks to dowsing, we can:

  • Identify blocked emotions (old fear, jealousy, sadness)
  • Feeling the intensity of stress, even silently
  • Supporting phases of mourning, separation, or anxiety of loneliness
  • Offer elixirs or treatments adapted to the emotional state of the moment

3. Help in choosing natural care or products

We can test by dowsing:

  • The right food supplement or flower elixir
  • The most suitable stone for an energy necklace
  • The ideal color for an accessory or a relaxation space

The optimal frequency of vibrational treatments (litho, chromo, sono, etc.)

Finding a lost animal using dowsing

One of the most fascinating (and delicate) uses of animal dowsing is the search for a lost pet. This method relies on the fact that the animal, even at a distance, remains vibrationally connected to its guardian.

How does it work?

The dowser, by connecting to the vibration of the animal (via a photo, a hair, a first name, a personal object), can:

  • Detect if he is still alive or not
  • Feel a geographic area or direction (north, south, near, far...)
  • Refine a map with a pendulum to pinpoint a search area
  • Assess the animal's emotional or physical state (fear, flight, injury, calm)

But be careful :

This is not a guaranteed method.

It sometimes works with astonishing accuracy... but sometimes not at all, depending on:

The goalkeeper's emotion (too intense = interferes with responses)

The vibrational connection between the animal and the person doing the research

The actual situation of the animal (whether it has intentionally wandered off, is hidden or injured)

The practitioner's state of receptivity


It's an aid, not a GPS.

It must always be accompanied by practical advice, on-the-ground actions, flyers, announcements, etc.

And above all: she must never entertain false hopes.

A professional dowsing practitioner must remain ethical, transparent, and say when no reliable answer comes.


Dowsing and animal communication: two complementary approaches

Some people associate dowsing with intuitive animal communication. Although these are two different practices, they complement each other beautifully:

  • Communication captures the feelings, thoughts or emotions “sent” by the animal.
  • Dowsing measures the objective vibrational state, without going through mental interpretation.

Together, they offer a comprehensive energetic and emotional reading.

For goalkeepers: what they can do, safely

Guardians can:

Tester of food, storage places or objects with a simple pendulum

Vibrationally connect with their pet with a photo, asking simple questions: "Do you like this place? Is this cushion good for you? Do you need treatment?"

Observe their own intuition as a complement

But they should not draw serious conclusions alone (diagnosis, disappearance, danger) without the help of a trained practitioner.

The emotional stakes are often too high to obtain clear and reliable answers.

Conclusion : A guidance tool, not a control tool

Animal dowsing is a precious, subtle and sensitive vibrational tool.

It doesn't provide absolute truth, but it guides, enlightens, and refines. It allows us to help the animal from a distance, to understand its deep needs, and to support the keepers with respect and justice.

Used consciously, it becomes a compass of the heart, serving the invisible but powerful bond between humans and animals.

For this reason, I am delighted to have obtained my certificate as a practitioner in Dowsing. This valuable tool allows me to further refine my feelings and provide precise answers in energy support. Thanks to the use of the pendulum and dowsing boards, I can detect subtle imbalances, choose the most suitable minerals, or even guide personalized energy work, both for humans and animals. For me, dowsing is an intuitive and rigorous extension of my practice.
