Why didn t Dr. Bach support dowsing and kinesiology as ways of selecting remedies?
Dr Bach made his system as simple and easy to use as possible. This was because he wanted it to be used by people from all walks of life as a way of healing themselves. When a practitioner uses the basic consultation technique for selecting remedies — which amounts to listening to what the client has to say — this is something that everyone can understand. Once the client understands that the remedies are being chosen on the basis of how he feels and the sort of person he is, then he can go on treating himself in the future. When dowsing, kinesiology or any other mechanical selection method is used either by the practitioner or the individual, the situation is very different. There is an added variable that intervenes in the process of self-knowledge, which was one of Dr. Bach s intentions, and therefore is never attained as it should be.
