DOWSING RESEARCH PROJECT 2026

2026 Dowsing Research Project Overview

The aim of this Dowsing research project is to explore different aspects of tree, water, and earth energies, investigating whether the different aspects are related, as well as how they are affected by the Solar/Lunar transition periods (the 20-minutes leading up to Sunrise, Solar Noon, Sunset, New Moon, Half Moon, Full Moon and the exact times of the Equinoxes and Solstices) and the mid-afternoon transition period (3pm to 3:15pm). Some Dowsers will undertake research in the parkland surrounding Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire while others will work at their home locations.

The Story so far ...

This document gives a summary of the research findings so far

Background Info - Newstead

A summary of the location, geology and history of the area surrounding Newstead Abbey where part of the project will take place.

Pendulum Dowsing Charts

A selection of pendulum dowsing charts which may be useful during the project.

Remote Dowsing Opportunity

This is an opportunity for Dowsers working from home who don’t wish to take part in all the individual sessions of the 2026 Newstead Dowsing research project, to use their remote and map dowsing skills to help to build up the bigger picture which will assist the Dowsers on the ground at Newstead and compliment their findings.

Home Dowsing Opportunity

This is an opportunity for Dowsers working from home who don’t wish to take part in all the individual sessions of the 2026 Newstead Dowsing research project or the remote and map dowsing, to monitor a Capped Vortex and/or an Energy Line located in their home or garden to help to build up the bigger picture of how these features change over time.

Session 1 - Tree Energies

In this session we will explore the energy fields of trees and the structure of the energy lines that connect trees together. We will investigate how the trees and connecting energy lines are affected by the playing of music, drumming and chanting as well as the Solar Noon and mid-afternoon transition periods.

Session 2 - Water Energies

In this session we will locate some blind springs and water veins that run from them, exploring their energetic structure, water depths and flow rates. We will also locate some of the smaller capped vortices that are associated with blind spring networks. We will explore how these energetic features behave during the Solar Noon and mid-afternoon transition periods and whether the water depth and flow rate changes at all during these periods.

Session 3 - Earth Energies

In this session we will locate the earth energy dragon currents that flow through the area and explore their structure in terms of the number of bands that they are comprised of. We will take Bovis readings for each band and explore its width, colour frequency and Yin/Yang polarity, We will also take readings of how much beneficial/detrimental energy these flows are carrying and see whether this is affected by the Solar Noon and mid-afternoon transition periods. Additionally, we will start to explore how they link in with the trees, blind springs and capped vortices that we have dowsed previously.

Session 4 - Summer Solstice Energies

The day prior to the Solstices and Equinoxes is said to be a harmony day when earth energy lines come into sync with one another and the energetic features surrounding blind springs widen out for several days. In this session we will explore whether the tree, water and earth energies that we dowsed in the previous sessions change during the Summer Solstice period and whether this affects their behaviour during the Solar Noon and mid-afternoon transition periods.

Session 5 - Beacon Tree Energies

In this session we will locate a Beacon Tree and its associated Beacon spring, and explore their energies, how they relate to underground water and how they are connected to other trees in the area. We will also explore how the energies of the Beacon Tree behave during the Solar Noon and mid-afternoon transition periods.

Session 6 - Landscape Pentagram Energies

The south-west tip of the Sherwood Forest landscape pentagram is located at Newstead. In this session we will dowse for the exact location of this tip and explore its energetic structure, and any lines of energy emanating from it, exploring how its lines are energised both by ad hoc sound-based stimuli and during the Solar Noon transition period.

Session 7 - New & Full Moon Energies

In this session we will explore how vertical cylinders form around Trees and Capped Vortices in the periods around the New and Full Moon. We will also investigate whether relaxing, meditating or taking a nap during the mid-afternoon transition period can revitalise our metabolims.

Session 8 - Autumn Equinox Energies

In this final session of the project we will explore how the Autumn Equinox energetic changes around Blind Springs and Trees compare to those we dowsed at the Summer Solstice, including how they behave during the Solar Noon transition period. To mark the end of the project we will make a Gatekeeper Trust style Mndala to Bless and thank the land for its participation in the project.
