Discovering Dowsing: Unlocking Inner Wisdom & Cosmic Connections
Episode 1 with Alex Russell-Stoneham and David Atkinson
Have you ever felt there was a deeper layer to reality—something just beneath the surface, waiting to be heard, felt, or understood? Dowsing offers a way to tune into that subtle realm. It’s not just about rods and pendulums; it’s a doorway into intuition, Earth energy, and your own inner knowing.
In the very first episode of the Discovering Dowsing podcast, I (Alex) sit down with psychic healer and experienced dowser David Atkinson to explore what happens when we let our awareness expand beyond the everyday and into the energetic and unseen. Together, we shed light on how dowsing can support personal growth, spiritual alignment, and meaningful connection with our world.
What Dowsing Really Is
Many people think of dowsing as an old-fashioned tool for finding water. And yes, historically, that’s one of its uses. But today, we explore dowsing as something much more:
A language of intuition
A dialogue with Earth energies
A bridge between the physical and the subtle
When we dowse, we are not forcing anything to happen—we’re simply listening in a different way.
Earth Energies, Nature Spirits & the Living Landscape
We talk about the work of Alana Moore, whose experiences with Earth energies and the fairy or nature spirit realms open us to the idea that the land itself is conscious and responsive.
We also touch on the energetic fields of trees and plants—how they each have their own presence and signature, and how dowsing can help us sense those subtle differences. These are not abstract concepts; once you experience them, something in you clicks—a recognition that we are part of something interconnected and alive.
Stories, Mythology & Everyday Practice
David and I share stories that weave together:
Mythological traditions
Personal dowsing experiences
Practical, everyday applications
Whether it’s checking for energetic harmony in your home, asking for guidance on personal decisions, or exploring sacred sites—dowsing can become a steady companion in your spiritual toolkit.
