Pendulums

These are wonderful divination tools.

One way to use a pendulum:

1. Hold the Pendulum comfortably in the fingers of your writing hand, with the chain and bob hanging free. Relax. Take a deep breath and relax even more.
2. Get in touch with the playful, child part of yourself. Begin speaking directly to your "Higher Self." Say: "Self", or say "(your name), show me your 'Yes'."
3. The Bob will start to move in any direction: back & forth, diagonally or in a circle. Whatever movement you get is your “Yes” direction from now on. It’s O.K. if your hand moves. Relax your arm.
4. If it does not move ask your Self, "Please say ‘Yes’ louder, and move more so I can see it clearly.”
5. If it still does not move, relax and be patient. Stop. Take a breath and relax. Visualize. Talk to your Higher Self. Explain to him/her that the Pendulum is a way you two can be in constant contact with each other. Demonstrate. Get agreement on using the Pendulum in your inner visualization.
6. Ask for your “Yes” direction again. When there is a definite movement (which is the same each time you ask for “Yes”), then you can continue.
7. Ask for your “No” direction the same way. Then ask for your “Maybe” direction. Relax. (The Bob must move, if it stays still it means nothing at this point.)
8. Once you are satisfied that you have a  definite and different movement for each of the 3 answers (“Yes, No, Maybe”), then begin to experiment with your new Life Skill! A new world will open to you.
9. Ask simple Physical questions at first. (Avoid Emotional Issues and questions about the Future until you are more skilled… or have a skilled friend do it for you.) Avoid using the word "should", instead ask "is this (or that) in my best (or highest) interest?"  Example: “Is it in my best interest to get this crystal?” or “Is this the best class for me?”
10. Above all: Be Playful. Relax. Have Fun. Soon you will be comfortable “Asking Your Higher Self” for answers to all of your daily questions.
11. Once you have these basics, you may wish to “clear” yourself or say a Prayer or set an Intention before Dowsing (for example: “I ask that this work be in the Light of GOD and in the Highest Interest of All concerned.”)
12. This skill takes 2 minutes to learn, and benefits you for Life! You can always “ask your Pendulum” (really the True You) about your next learning steps such as Workshops, Classes or Books!
