Taking the Day Off
I tend towards being a workaholic. I am doing my best to overcome this tendency, but it is very ingrained. Sometimes, taking time off is a real challenge to me. I am aware that I sometimes think of all I have to do, and it makes me not want to take a day off and play. So when Nigel suggested that we take a day off and either go to the Grand Canyon or down to the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix for the day, I wasn’t sure why I felt somewhat resistant to the idea.
I am aware of how challenging it is for me to play, so I wasn’t sure if I was feeling resistance because of that, or because the idea wasn’t a good one. Maybe my intuition was trying to tell me something. I noticed the feeling. I wasn’t sure which it was: intuition or workaholism. So I just kept quiet.
Later, we planned which day we would be taking off. When I marked the day on the calendar, Nigel said, “So we are going to the Grand Canyon”. I hesitated, and I felt a little wrench in my gut. It just didn’t feel right, but I still wasn’t sure why. Maybe I was being a stick in the mud. So I kept quiet and agreed.
I took a few minutes by myself to dowse the Level lin Effects of going to the Grand Canyon on our day off, and I got a 1 out of 10. That isn’t good at all. I then tested the Botanical Gardens and got the same number. Staying home and reading only gave a 3. So I wondered if my dowsing was off. I didn’t say anything, but I wondered why I wasn’t getting encouragement for any of the options we discussed.
The evening before our day off, the summer rain was coming down as the wind howled. We rarely have to consider weather as a factor in what we do in Arizona, but clearly, we needed to consult the forecast for the next day. Our plan had been to sit outside at the Grand Canyon and read after having a nice lunch. Rain would ruin that plan. Strangely, the forecast was much the same for the whole state: 40% chance of afternoon thunderstorms just about everywhere. With a two hour drive each way to both destinations, we didn’t fancy attempting either under those conditions.
That explained why I wasn’t getting a particularly good number for any of the choices when I dowsed about it. So we made new plans for the day to accommodate the weather. Dowsing is a very reliable way to determine the outcome or results of a particular choice. As with anything involving intuition, it is important to listen to what you ‘hear’ and follow the guidance. Don’t think too much, or try to rationalize why you ‘feel’ as you do. Just go with it. It won’t lead you astray.

I’ve dowsed with pendulums for the past few years, many times I seem to get the wrong answer or maybe I don’t trust it. I’ve recently lost a pendulum that I had for a couple of years. I just thought about asking my higher self where it is. When I brought that one I brought another because I have a tendency of losing things, I don’t remember where I put it. Lately I’ve been consulting with my inner voice. I also tried dowsing with my body. It seems to move, but it also freaks me out. I thought it was an interesting story.
Don’t get ‘freaked out’ when you dowse with your body. After all, I’m pretty sure we used our bodies to sense the environment well before we used tools such as pendulums! It’s a natural way of going. The only really important thing is to trust yourself. Nothing else matters. Begin to trust yourself and you’ll be amazed how things go for you!
