For more than 35 years, Eric Dowsett has been exploring a different way of understanding ourselves and the environments in which we live and work.
Today, that lifetime of exploration is shared through The Dowsett Approach.

Life is fraught with uncertainty
It is natural for us to seek order, to have a sense of uniformity, to seek safety in the known. Most people wrap themselves up so deeply in the ‘known’ that it becomes a bubble within which they operate, they survive. By creating regularity they are able to function within the reality that they have […]
Lets assume for a moment…”
That Einstein was correct when he said that we are slowed down sound and light waves. Clearly, to all those whose vision is locked into a range similar to our own, we do appear solid, although according to some we are mostly empty space dancing around atoms. If we were to look at the different […]
Community, Movement, Support
Any movement, be it religious, political, spiritual or commercial needs a support network. A movement, consisting of one person, is not a movement, it is likely to be seen as a psychological disorder, ostracising the individual because of their ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking, (reference to Galileo Galilei later in this article). However, if that one person is […]
Your Personality is a Prison
To the degree you associate or are attached to the personality it will continue to be your prison, limiting you to a pre-established outcome. You cannot have a prison without guards, you cannot have guards without a judicial system, you cannot have judges without rules, You cannot have rules without??? However this prison was created […]
When the S*** hits the fan
An increasingly common occurrence. My usual comment on this is that when the S*** hits the fan, turn the fan off. Much less to clean up in the morning. Easier said than done because by the time the S*** hits the fan you are so lost down the rabbit hole you no longer even know […]
Stuck in a Never Ending Loop?
You are not alone.. It appears from my experience that this is an extremely common state of affairs. Many do not even realise they are stuck in this never ending loop. Even those who begin to recognise it are fearful that it will never end. So, what is better, to never realise you are lost […]
Once upon a time, I believed in the tooth fairy.
But why did I believe in the tooth fairy? Because when I was very young and impressionable, before I even thought of questioning my parents they convinced me that if I put a tooth under my pillow, during the night the tooth fairy would come and replace the tooth with money. Who would not believe […]
Where do we draw the line!
Between that which is ‘real’ and that which is a fabrication? On a personal level there are many lines we draw I the sand, lines beyond which we do not feel comfortable. This is a good place to start this journey. Why do we draw lines in the sand? Mostly I suspect because this defines […]
Subject / Object
Something I am finding very interesting now is time. What is it? Recently I came across a physics experiment. Take an atom and excite the electrons. Excite (put energy into) the electron and it relocates into a higher orbit. It doesn’t just travel, physically, from one orbit to another, it disappears and then reappears in […]
