PENDULUMS

How to Use a Pendulum

Holistic healers use a pendulum for measuring energy fields or as a dowsing tool for divination purposes.

Cleansing the Pendulum: Cleansing the pendulum can be done by holding it under running cold tap water, soaking it in sea salt, or setting a mental intention to free it of possible picked up energies. After cleansing the pendulum, carry it around with you to see how it feels.

Understand the Directional Swings: Pendulums swing in vertical straight lines, horizontal straight lines, and in circular movements. This can be done side-by-side, front and back, clockwise, counterclockwise, in an elliptical motion, or even in a bobbing movement up and down, which often indicates a strong affirmative action.

Define the Directional Swings: Assign each directional swing a "response" by first asking the pendulum to show you what certain responses look like. For example, start off by asking, "What does a NO look like?" and subsequently, "What does a YES look like?" Posing these questions to your pendulum will help define directional swings, which must happen before advancing to more challenging questions.

Pendulum Response Examples:

Vertical swing signifies NO

Horizontal swing signifies YES

Circular movement signifies NEUTRAL

Prepare Questions: A question should be one that can be answered with a positive, negative or neutral response. Be specific! Must be a yes no question.
