There has been many a discussion started when people are asked the question, ‘are you predominately left brain or right brain’ the difference between the two are quite startlingly different, most people seem to use both parts of their brain depending on the task, while others grow up becoming dominant on one side or the other. Below is a moving image if you see it rotate clockwise it means that currently you are predominantly using the right side of your brain and if you see it turning anti-clockwise you are predominantly using the left side of your brain.

Right or left brain Dowsing/thinking (click the image to see it spin)

By concentrating you may be able to see the dancer change direction, this would indicate that you are consciously switching between the two, a good exercise to practise, another interesting fact to test yourself would be to view this image at different times of the day and night to see if your brain functioning changes during the day. Now try this when you are dowsing…

Waverley dowsers will be providing some dowsing training on the 17th October (visit our events page here) and you might find our earlier article which picked up a study done by the British Society of Dowsers a few years ago, to read the article and video about dowsers who are dyslexic, you can find this post HERE
