How should the coconut be held for the toss?
Always with the pointed end upward, just as a person walks with the head up. A coconut has three eyes, a head and a tail, and it is the only fruit in which all five elements are perfectly present.

Some dowse for water with a coconut, some with a stone or guava wood; which is right?
Any of them, because the dowser is the person; the tool is only a bridge, a medium in which the current produces movement. Some people dowse with bare hands, and some sway or tremble where water is. Only a person whose body reacts to the energy can check it; people who live in a negative place get used to it, like a worm content in a drain.
When dowsing, is the bone or water located where you stand, where your hand is, or where the coconut lands?
It is located where the pendulum turns clockwise or anticlockwise, at the spot under the hand, about an arm's length of one and a half to two feet from the body. It is not where a jumping coconut finally falls, but where the movement began.
Why can a coconut tree be planted even in the North-East, where height is not allowed?
