What Is A Pendulum And How Do I Use It??

All good Gypsies know that their Pendulum is a very special tool, and a must have! They are not only beautiful to look at, but also in the spiritual energy that surrounds them. Pendulums are beautiful tools used for many purposes. Some of these may include: making design choices, detecting unwanted negative energies, detecting imbalances in energy fields, finding misplaced items, choosing a pet, cleansing your Divination Cards, gauging the purity of your essential oils, making choices about which essential oils to use for a specific condition, and the list goes on. A pendulum uses a person's energy to answer questions. They are typically is made from a stone or crystal hanging from the end of a string or chain. Pendulum dowsing started more than 8,000 years ago. The ancient Egyptians provided the first recorded evidence of using a pendulum on a drawing dated at 4,000 years old, using them as a means of spiritual healing the same as we do today. It is best for a pendulum to choose its owner. When shopping for a pendulum, if you feel a strong pull towards a particular pendulum, you should try to go with that feeling rather than fight it. It is quite possible that your energy is more in tune with that specific pendulum than others. After receiving a new pendulum, it is important to cleanse it in order to free the pendulum from its "picked up energies". You can do this by soaking it in purified water and sea salt. Some pendulums swing clockwise and counter-clockwise, while others swing from side to side. Before you use your pendulum for the first time, get to know it by asking the pendulum to show its swing for yes by saying, "Show me yes." Do the same for “Show me no.” and "Show me neutral." It is imperative that prior to asking your questions, you focus your energy. This would be a good time to meditate or pray. Make sure to make a clear intention statement. Try and avoid preconceived notions or wishful thinking during this process, as that will alter the pendulum’s accuracy. Spirit answers through the subconscious. This is why it is important to be clear of unconscious blocks to spirit communication. If your subconscious has any fear of spirits, it will block spirit communication. If information is needed from other spirit levels, your Higher Self will ask for this and will then give that information to you. When holding the pendulum, use the thumb and forefinger to hold the chain about three or four inches above the pendulum. Relax your fingers and your forearm to help the pendulum move freely. You will want any movement of the hand or arm to be unconscious and not influenced by wishful thinking. In between questions, you will want to reset the energies from the previous question by completely stopping the pendulum's motion. If you are comfortable intuitively with the pendulum’s answer, you may accept it as accurate. If not, you can restate the question in a few different ways until you get a consistent answer that feels right. Finally, when finished, wash any bad energies from the pendulum with pure water and sea salt and safely keep it for a future time. Pendulum Bags are a great thing to have as they keep the pendulum protected and in a place of high regard. The pendulum uses a natural process of tuning into one's Higher Self. When focused, people can connect with the intuition many of us had as children. As you become more proficient and connected with your pendulum, the intuition becomes so strong that a "feeling" turns into a "knowing." You will be increasing your awareness and raising your consciousness to connect with your Higher Self.
