    Neither the long top of the rods nor the bottom curved part should touch your hands in any way while holding them, and they should be free to swing without any interference. , You should ideally hold the rods level for maximum movement and sensitivity, though you may drop the tips of the rods very slightly to dampen the movement in breezy conditions for further control. , To start out dowsing, you should lay out cards numbered 1-5 face down and in a line with about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of separation between each card.

    You should shuffle the cards up so they are in a random order.

    Start at one end by asking a question, like "Show me where the card labeled 4 on it by crossing the rods as I walk by"

    walk slowly until the rods start to move.

    Once you get a positive confirmation, flip the card to see if you are right.

    Practice this until you get the hang of it. ,
