Tensor holding & positioning: Finding the right testing method

The right testing method for every situation: Rod holding and positioning

To achieve clear and reliable results with your Auron single-handed dowsing rod (Rod), not only your inner attitude and a precise question are crucial, but also the correct external handling of the instrument. The way you hold your Rod and position it in relation to the object being tested can significantly influence the quality of signal transmission and thus the clarity of the answer. There are various proven testing postures, the choice of which depends on the specific situation, the test object, and also your personal preferences.

Basics of Rod holding: Foundation for clear signals

Regardless of the specific testing method you choose, some general principles apply to the posture of your Auron Rod:

• Relaxed but secure grip:
  Hold the handle of your Auron Rod (made of wood or cork) gently but fully enclosed. Avoid any cramping of the hand or forearm. The handle should rest securely and comfortably in your hand without you having to actively grip it tightly.
• Slightly bent arm:
  Your arm holding the Rod should be slightly bent – not stiffly extended or held tightly against the body. The shoulder remains loose and relaxed. Find a posture that you can maintain effortlessly and without tension for some time.
• Free vibration space for the Rod:
  Be sure that the vibrating rod and the tip of your Rod (ring or ball) can swing completely freely. During testing, they should not touch your body, clothing, or other objects in the environment. Give the Rod enough space to move unhindered in all directions.
• Develop a sense of balance:
  Consciously perceive how the Rod rests in your hand when it is completely still. A well-balanced instrument, like your Auron Rod, feels light and centered and is thus optimally ready to respond to the finest inner impulses.

Proven variants of test posture and positioning

Depending on the test object and question, different methods of Rod positioning have proven effective:

• Hold the Rod above the object:
  This is often the most intuitive and most frequently used method, especially for flat, smaller, or easily accessible objects.
  
  Application: You simply hold your single-handed Rod a few centimeters directly above the center of the object to be tested (e.g., food on a plate, a healing stone, a medication, a point on a map or a list).
  
  Important: Make sure not to touch the object directly and leave enough distance for the free vibration of the Rod.
  
  Ideal for: Food, drinks, cosmetics, healing stones, books, individual points on plans or test lists.
• Hold the Rod between yourself and the object (distance testing):
  This posture is often chosen when the test object is larger, located further away, or when you want to examine the direct energetic resonance and interaction between you and the object.
  
  Application: You position the Rod at chest or abdomen height in front of you. The tip of the Rod points towards the object (sometimes the Rod is also aligned parallel to the object, depending on personal preference and the question at hand). Your focus of attention is on the energetic connection line between you and the test object.
  
  Ideal for: Rooms and their various areas, pieces of furniture, larger plants, other people (always only with their explicit consent and ethical mindfulness!), places in nature, technical devices.
• Hold the object in the free hand:
  Smaller, handy objects can also be held directly in the hand that is not holding the Rod.
  
  Application: Take the small test object (e.g., a Bach flower bottle, a small sample of food, a pill – always in closed form or with suitable protection) in your non-dominant hand (the hand not holding the Rod). The Rod is then held in front of the body as usual and set into motion. It is assumed that the energy of the object is absorbed into your system through your hand, and the Rod responds to this resonance.
  
  Ideal for: Small, handy test substances like homeopathics, personal items, jewelry.
• Using a scanning tip (optional accessory):
  A scanning tip is a small, often pen-like accessory that can be connected to the Rod via a cable (not every Rod is designed for this by default; this is rather special equipment). You hold the scanning tip in your free hand and point it precisely at the object to be tested or the specific point, while the Rod is held in the other hand and reacts to the focused energy.
  
  Application: This is especially helpful for very small or hard-to-reach objects, when testing specific points on detailed lists, diagrams, or body maps (e.g., acupuncture points), or if for certain reasons you need or want to maintain a certain distance from the test object.
  
  Ideal for: Testing acupuncture points, detailed work with test lists and diagrams, hard-to-reach objects when the highest precision in targeting is required.

Consistency and experimentation for your individual practice

• Consistency is important:
  If you have chosen a specific method for a specific type of testing (e.g., food is always "held over"), try to stick to this method. This helps you obtain comparable and thus more reliable results over time.
• Experiment consciously:
  Feel free to try out different postures and positions, especially when working with new types of test objects or questions. Find out which method feels most consistent and comfortable for you in different applications and delivers the clearest, most unambiguous results. There is no rigid "right" or "wrong" as long as the above basic principles (relaxed posture, free oscillation space, neutral expectation) are observed.

Conclusion: The right posture for clear and reliable Rod signals

The correct external handling and conscious positioning of your Auron Rod are often underestimated but very important factors for the quality and reliability of your Rod work. A relaxed, balanced posture and the choice of the test method suitable for the respective situation create the optimal external conditions so that the subtle signals of your body can be clearly, unadulterated, and distinctly displayed by the Rod. Take the time to experiment with these different aspects and develop a good, familiar feeling for your personal instrument – it will enrich your intuitive practice.
