PENDULUMS - How To Make, Choose, Cleanse, Program and USE a Pendulum

Using a Pendulum to ask questions of your subconscious mind and spirit ...

Pendulums work by connecting with electrical impulses created by our subconscious minds. These influences cause the Pendulum to move and we can then read these movements to gain insight into the deepest parts of ourselves.

A pendulum can be made of crystal, brass, glass, wood ... in fact any object (preferably with a point) that is able to be suspended will suffice.

If using a crystal pendulum, the shape and qualities resonate and bring in the energies of the Earth, and when combined with our own intuition and connection with Spirit, we are able to receive messages from our inner source.

With a little practice you will find your Pendulum to be a constant source of connection to your inner-most-self.

SELECTING OR MAKING A PENDULUM

When selecting a pendulum follow your intuition and choose one that you like.

You can make a pendulum yourself if you take a thread and hang a weigh on it which can be any object you like. The thread can be 15 to 20 cm long. Tie a knot in the thread at the length where the swing of the pendulum feels the best.

Pendulums can be tear drop, ball-shaped, conical, spiral, made from brass, copper, crystal, wood, ceramic or just about anything else.

I’ve personally had many different beautiful pendulums over the years, but it is a small brass one that I always revert to as it has proven to be extremely accurate time and time again

TYPES OF PENDULUMS

There are many different types of pendulums and they can be used for: healing specific illnesses, for adjusting chakras, to glean insight and answers to our deepest questions, to locate underground water, buried metals, send vibrational healing to humans, animals and the Earth itself and to clear negative energy fields and ley lines in our homes and environment.

CLEANSING A CRYSTAL PENDULUM

Before using your Pendulum for the first time it is important to cleanse it. It is advisable to cleanse your pendulum between use when working with clients or others as well.

Cleansing is a simple procedure than can take just a few moments.

- Briefly hold the crystal under a natural flowing stream.

or

- Rub it with a soft cloth to which one drop of Eucalyptus Essential Oil has been added.

or

- Place it on piece of natural Amethyst cluster.

or

- Place in on the Earth, either in your garden or in a pot plant.

or

- Leave it on a windowsill for 24 hours, to enable the crystal to draw in the Energies of the Sun and the Moon ~ Day and Night.

PROGRAMING and TESTING YOUR PENDULUM

Your Pendulum is a very personal item and should be seen as a sacred tool. It is often best to use the same pendulum for all your work, although in times of need any item can be programmed and used.

You can ask about anything you like with the pendulum if the question can be answered with a YES or NO. But first you have to determine what each pendulum movement means for you.

· Take a seated position at a desk or table.

· Place your feet flat on the floor resting your elbow on the desk.

· Hold the pendulum by the end of chain between your thumb and index finger.

· Make sure that your upper body and back are straight, that the energy can flow freely.

· Put your other hand flat on the table.

· Relax.

· Let your breath flow calmly.

· Make sure before you start that you will be not be distracted.

(*Do not use the pendulum when you are tired.)

* Ask your pendulum the questions, “What does a YES look like?” and “What does a NO look like?”

The pendulum can move up-down, left-right or in a circle.

Practice this several times a day for at least a week. Once you have determined your YES and NO answers do not deviate from it. You can test it – but don’t change it.

When I ‘test’ my pendulum I ask a question that I already know the answer to, such as “am I a woman in this lifetime?” (Yes) then “am I a man in this lifetime?” (No). I repeat this process with similar questions until I am 100% sure that my pendulum is answering accurately.

As time goes by and you become more and more familiar with your pendulum and it becomes more in-tune with your personal energies and vibrations, you will find that your pendulum will ‘pass the test’ quickly and easily.

When you have determined a clear YES and NO, ask your pendulum how it swings for “I do not want to answer” or “I cannot answer that.”

You will become very proficient in quick time once you have a connection with your pendulum and know how it answers, its messages and symbols.

A correct answer will follow only when the question is asked in the right way.

OTHER WAYS TO USE A PENDULUM

You can place your pendulum directly over an object, question it and test it. You may wish to test your water, medications, groceries, gemstones, flower remedies, to determine what therapies are good for you or even deciding on holiday destinations. You can test the energy of your home, evaluate your sleeping space, check for electromagnetic distress ... the list goes on. Experiment and see for yourself.

In order to work easier with the pendulum, you can work with charts, like the Meditation Techniques, Colour, Past and Future Life, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy Oils, Tea or Chakra chart, just to mention a few. These are able to be purchased, but can also be made to suit your personal requirements.
