Pendulums are versatile tools used to tap into intuition, communicate with the higher self and to better understand the subconscious. \u00a0Pendulums have been around since ancient times by multiple cultures. They’ve been used for everything from divination to spirit communications and even healing rituals. \u00a0So what are they and how do they work?<\/p>\n
A pendulum consists of a string or chain with a weight at one end that allows it to swing back and forth from a pivot point. \u00a0Pendulums are made from everything from wood to stone. \u00a0Most have a fob at the top of the chain that helps the user hold the pendulum securely.<\/span><\/p>\n Pendulums respond to energies by moving in different directions. \u00a0They are used to connect the user with the higher self for guidance. \u00a0\u00a0A pendulum can help its user explore the deeper levels of the subconscious mind, enhance intuition and even promote healing by detecting the flow of energy in the subtle body. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pendulums are a great way to help you connect with your intuition and higher self through “yes\/no” type questions.<\/span><\/p>\n When you first use a pendulum; you’ll need to spend some time programming it. \u00a0Position yourself properly with feet flat on the floor and sitting up straight. \u00a0Grasp your pendulum by the fob and hold it securely between your thumb and forefinger. \u00a0Stabilize your arm and then let the pendulum dangle.<\/span><\/p>\n Hold your pendulum steady and ask it to show you “yes”, then “no” and “can’t answer”. \u00a0Your pendulum will swing back and forth for one answer, side to side for another and in a circle for the 3rd. \u00a0Once you have determined which direction corresponds to each answer, begin by asking questions you know the answer to. \u00a0This will help ensure that answers are consistent and you are reading your pendulum correctly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you are ready to use your pendulum for guidance, take a few moments to clear and prepare your mind. \u00a0Make sure your environment is clear from noise and other distractions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Grip your pendulum securely and set your intention. \u00a0For example “I call upon my higher self to answer these questions truthfully, according to my highest good”. \u00a0Next, ask very specific yes or no questions allowing time for the answer. \u00a0It’s important to not attach yourself to what you think the answer should be or what you want to hear, but to remain as neutral and detached from outcomes as possible. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When the pendulum swings take note of the direction for your answer. \u00a0If you are uncertain, you can try again later or rephrase the question for more clarity. \u00a0When you are finished with each question; clear the pendulum by touching it to the palm of your other hand. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Protect your pendulum when you aren’t using it. \u00a0Many pendulums are worn as necklaces. \u00a0Keeping it close to you allows it to absorb your energy and keeps you more in tune with it. \u00a0If you don’t want to wear it; keep it in a black velvet pouch and store it in a safe place.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also use your pendulum during meditations and energy work to help determine where your energy may be blocked, or even too open. \u00a0Try holding your pendulum over the chakra you are meditating on. \u00a0If it moves easily and smoothly; it means your energy is flowing as it should. \u00a0If it stops moving, moves inconsistently or you feel resistance; it means you may need to do more clearing and balancing of that chakra. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pendulums are very versatile tools that are easy to learn. \u00a0They can be used successfully by anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pendulums are versatile tools used to tap into intuition, communicate with the higher self and to better understand the subconscious. \u00a0Pendulums have been around since ancient times by multiple cultures.
