I have spent most of my life on a passionate spiritual quest, ever since my first powerful mystical experience in 1974. I have learned much about life through the many mystical experiences that followed, through metaphysical study, and through my daily routine of deep relaxation and meditation. Nothing has taught me more about life, however, and impacted me more than the ancient art of dowsing combined with prayer. Dowsing is a sacred process that allows us to tune into the subtle but powerful energies that are behind the scenes in life.

We are energy (light) beings living in a universe of energy. We change the subtle energies around and within us with every thought, action, and emotion. We imprint our energy in our living environment every moment of our lives, leaving cosmic trails of beneficial and detrimental energies, depending on our positive or negative focus in life. With dowsing, we can tune into these subtle energies and begin to understand them. By combining dowsing with prayer, we can take charge of the process and take charge of our lives. We can instantly transmute detrimental energies into beneficial energies and attract new beneficial energies to bring whatever we most desire into our lives.

I made my first discovery in 1996. Through careful dowsing research, I realized that natural energy fields around people, plants and animals form spirals or, more accurately, vortexes or waves of light. I began finding lines of energy (rays of invisible light) in high use areas in living environments, such as around chairs and gathering places in homes and offices. Wherever two or more of these rays of light intersect each other, a vortex is created. I noticed a unique pattern of these energies around all beds. As the years passed, I found more and more elements of this building pattern. I soon realized that these "bed pattern" energies were closely tied to whoever was sleeping in the beds. If someone were ill or going through difficult times in life, imbalances often showed up in the pattern around his or her bed. Correcting these imbalances with prayer would often seem to bring healing and balance into people's lives.

What is this pattern? Why does it have so much affect us? Why can we change it so easily? I got my answer in June 1999—the Bed Pattern is the kabbalistic Tree of Life, a symbol that has been studied by students of Kabbalah for thousands of years. It is supposed to be the true spiritual meaning behind the Jewish Torah—the first five books in the Old Testament. Kabbalah has been adapted into many spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Eastern religions, and many Mystery Schools. Kabbalah is the essence of Jewish mysticism and the Tree of Life is the central feature of Kabbalah. Legend tells us that the Creator put the Tree of Life into place before Creation. It is what everything is patterned after, especially human beings.

I was completely surprised and overwhelmed when I made this connection. Was I correct? Had I really discovered something that has been around us since the beginning of time? I was very secretive about this for quite some time. I wanted to feel certain that what I was sharing with others was real and not just a figment of my imagination. I also knew immediately that I would have to do much more research to understand what I was finding thoroughly enough to share it appropriately with others.

I first looked into Kabbalah in the 80's, but all the books I tried to read were scholarly and complex. I decided that I just wasn't ready and never really looked into it in any depth. Once I made my "Kabbalah connection," however, wonderful books began finding their way to me. Not only that, but I understood them much better because of my dowsing work. These ancient teachings explained what I had been finding in many aspects of my work. In turn, I can now help others understand abstract kabbalistic concepts in experiential ways. The best part about my work is that it is so easy to teach and learn.

As my research continued, I realized that the Bed Pattern is actually the Human Energy Pattern. It is part of our being and goes with us everywhere we go, like a vehicle of God's Light that we travel through life in. In kabbalistic terms, it is our Merkabah or Chariot—our vehicle for spiritual transformation. We imprint it where we sleep and are directly connected to our Bed Pattern energies. When we explore the pattern of energies around our beds, we are exploring our own energy patterns. Imbalances in the Bed Pattern and the Human Energy Pattern reflect imbalances in our lives. Correcting the imbalances in our Bed Pattern simultaneously corrects imbalances in our Human Energy Pattern and vice versa. All of this can easily be observed with dowsing.

I have now taught six rabbis to dowse and to find the Tree of Life, while only two of them knew what I was guiding them to find. They all encouraged me in my work and two of them have given me written endorsements. I can help them explore something tangibly that has been studied abstractly for thousands of years. I also hope to bring my work into the more mainstream world of healing by working with doctors and other health care practitioners. For now, I am content to share my understandings with sincere spiritual seekers, helping them to take charge of their lives.

I call my Kabbalah connection a "discovery," yet I don't believe I have really discovered anything. It has been revealed to me. I believe that one of the main reasons I came to this Earth is to receive this gift and share it appropriately with others. Now I'm ready to share my work with the world.
