How to Use a Pendulum

Pendulums rock. I recently discovered the power of a pendulum. The cool thing about them is that they can be made of anything.
Pendulums are made from a variety of materials including crystals, wood, glass, and metals. They are often used as tools for spiritual healing and inner growth. Make sure that the pendulums have been cleared of any negative energies before and after each use. Feel free to make one with any material you like. The more personal, the better.

Choose A Pendulum:
Allow a pendulum to choose you. If you like the way it looks or feels, it is meant for you.

Cleanse Your Pendulum:
Use the method that works best for the type of pendulum you have. You may cleanse it by holding it under running cold tap water, soaking it in sea salt, or setting a mental intention to free it of "picked up energies."

Understand the Directional Swings of Your Pendulum:
Pendulums swing in vertical straight lines, horizontal straight lines, and in circular movements.

Define the Directional Swings of Your Pendulum:
Assign each directional swing by asking the pendulum to show you a NO swing, a YES swing, and a NEUTRAL swing.

Prepare Your Questions:
A question should be one that can be answered with a positive, negative or neutral response. For example, "Will I be offered the job I interviewed for this morning?" and not, "Will my pregnant cousin deliver a boy or girl?

Set Your Intention:
It is imperative that you precede your question session with a prayerful request or statement. For example, "It is my intention to receive truthful answers that are for the good of all concerned."

Ask Your Questions:
Be prepared to ask several questions to receive enough information to aid you in your search. Make sure to completely stop any pendulum motion between questions.

Tips:
Accept information only if your instincts assure you it is accurate.
