The Right Way To Use Pendulum

13

        Some are asked: Why pendulum? Is it accurate? Well.. What about intuition… Is it accurate? The pendulum can be thought of as an extension of the intuition, since it is used to gain access to information that exists at the subconscious level of the Inner Being. It could be said that it strengthens or amplifies the intuition because it converts the subtleties of the intuition into a more obvious form of physical motion. When you ask a question of the pendulum, it is your own intuition that answers it. The pendulum merely allows you to physically see what the intuition already knows. As an extension of the intuition, the pendulum can give you information from the same two sources as the intuition: from your own subconscious mind; and from your guidance, spirit, or guardian angel. Because of how it operates, the pendulum can only answer questions that are phrased so that the answer is either “yes” or “no”.

Important Things to Remember

  • As long as you keep your sights on the fact that you are the pendulum, that your subconscious mind is really providing the answers, you avoid making the tool more important than the consciousness behind it.
  • Keep your pendulum in a safe and special place to help maintain your vibration on, in and through the pendulum.
  • It is better if you don’t allow other people to handle your pendulum. You want to keep it as much in tune with your vibration as possible. (If you do let other people handle your pendulum, the worst that can happen is that you may have to re-establish the yes/no response.)
  • The number one reason for inaccurate pendulum reading is vague and faulty wording of the question.
  • The number two reason is your psychological state, the thoughts, emotions, feelings, images, desires, hope, wishes, etc. that vibrate in and through your psyche. These things can influence the answer.
  • The third source of pendulum inaccuracy is lack of patience. Approach the pendulum one day at a time. Watch, wait, see and try again.
  • Inaccuracy occurs when there is lack of concentration. Practice focusing on the questions until you are able to concentrate and hold your attention steady during the time you are working with your pendulum.
  • In the beginning there is a tendency to consult the pendulum every time you have to make a decision. At that point the pendulum stops being a tool for cultivating intuitive perception and starts becoming a mental-emotional-spiritual crutch. Do not depend on it to the exclusion of your own common sense.
  • The pendulum is not designed to predict the future. This is because future events are not set in stone, but are determined by people’s free will. It is only possible to predict the future to the extent that you know what future choices people are most likely to want to make. A pendulum can help you predict future events only to the extent that you yourself understand what the possibilities are. In other words, it can help you select among the possibilities you are already aware of. But when other people’s choices are part of the possibilities, free will comes in and increases the variables to the extent that it becomes impossible to predict what people will choose to do.
  • Use the pendulum wisely to develop awareness, perception and intuition. These skills of consciousness are within and only need to be brought out through repeated use. The pendulum is only one way to help bring them out.

Doing Pendulum Readings for Others

Until you have had a lot of experience with the pendulum, do NOT try to use it to get information for someone else. There are ways to do this but it is difficult because the information comes from inside the person using the pendulum, and in order to use the pendulum on behalf of someone else, you have to be very tuned into the other person. Anyone can use the pendulum for himself, but few can use it for others. So don’t do pendulum readings. Instead, make it a personal tool for yourself.

Things that can Cause an Incorrect Response from the Pendulum

  • Poor communication. (inaccurate phrasing) The most important thing is how you phrase the question. For example, don’t just ask “Is this water good for me”?” Be more accurate: Good in what way? The water may have both good and bad aspects. For example, you may be extremely thirsty, so the water is good for replenishing your body fluids, but the water could be tainted and later give you diarrhea. So state the question more clearly such as “Will this water serve my highest and greatest good?”
  • Asking questions that are too general: Don’t ask general questions such as “Is Mary healthy?” Rather ask specific questions such as “Is Mary’s diet causing her health problems?”
  • Being tired.
  • Forcing the situation. Using the pendulum even though the time or circumstances may not be right.
  • Being off Center: Feeling mentally or emotionally out of balance. You need to be in the right frame of mind.
  • Focusing too heavily on the pendulum itself, and not enough on the information inside you.
  • Being too close to high frequency electrical equipment (operate at least 3 ft from a TV or computer screen).

If you start to work with the pendulum, and you are not getting clear swings on the answers, then go over what could be causing this. Ask the pendulum “Is there a more appropriate time?” (perhaps there are children screaming in the other room), or “Is there a more appropriate place?” or “Is there a more appropriate way to state the question?” These are always easy questions to get accurate answers to.

What the Pendulum Can be Used For

The pendulum can be used for choosing between alternatives in a relatively wide range of areas. To get an answer from the pendulum, simply ask any yes/no question about a specific thing that would be good for you, but only in areas where you have the right to make the decision, for example, anything to do with health & healing, love or domestic relationships, career. Here are some typical areas where the pendulum can be used to good advantage:

  • Making a Choice of any kind. (Do I want to travel for my vacation or stay home?)
  • Figuring out what is best to do. (Would it be better to keep my present job or look for a new job?)
  • Figuring out how you really feel about something. (Do I want children in the near future?)
  • Becoming more conscious of who someone is inside, to know his motivation, his compatibility with you.
  • Determining your probability of success in a situation.(Do I have what it takes to complete this course?)
  • Finding the cause of physical symptoms. (Is my diet causing my migraines?)
  • Determining what foods or vitamins to take. (Would it be good for me to double my Vitamin C intake?)
  • Determining what is causing an allergic reaction. (Am I lactose intolerant?)
  • Prospecting for water, oil, treasure. (Is there gold over here?)
  • Finding missing people or pets, or lost objects. (Is my key under the bed?)

You can even use the pendulum with a map. Put the pendulum over a small area of the map and ask “Is Bowser here”?, and narrow it down in this way. Part of the knowledge that comes with experience in working with the pendulum is learning to sometimes start with broad questions, and then narrow them down.

Health

The pendulum can be used to analyze what is going on in the human body. Each person subconsciously knows everything that is going on inside his body. This includes not only the physical things that are going on in the body, but also the mental, emotional and spiritual things. He knows what vitamins he is deficient in, what diseases he has, and why he has those diseases. He knows whether a product he is holding in his hand is toxic, allergenic, or useful and beneficial. He knows why he feels afraid under certain circumstances, and he knows what he needs to work on in order to grow spiritually. All this subconscious information can be made available to the conscious mind by learning to tune in to it with the aid of the pendulum.

Determining the “yes” and “no” Response

Before using a particular pendulum for the first time, hold it in the appropriate position, and ask, either aloud or mentally, “Pendulum, please show me YES”. Give the pendulum time to respond and observe the direction of the swing as it responds. If the swing is modest at first, don’t be concerned, because it takes a while for a particular pendulum to begin to vibrate with you. After you have determined the YES response, ask the pendulum to show you the NO response in the same manner. Check the YES/NO response in this way, the first few times you do a session with the pendulum. This is necessary because different pendulums can give their YES and NO responses by swinging in different directions. Also, if at any time you feel you are not getting accurate responses, even after using the pendulum for a while, check the YES/NO response again. It is a good idea to check the YES/NO response periodically because it can change as you change and grow. It can also change if you let other people handle your pendulum.

Appropriate Types of Questions to Ask

It is appropriate to ask a pendulum about things that are within your control, about situations where you have the right to make a choice, or about things your subconscious already has access to. For example, it is appropriate to ask whether it would be good for you to marry a particular person, but it not appropriate for you to ask whether he is going to ask you to marry him, because that is not your right to choose. In the same way, it is not appropriate to ask if you are going to meet your prince charming today, because that is not within your control. However, it is appropriate to try to divine other people’s motivations or who they are inside, because you already know this at a subconscious level anyway. For example, it is appropriate to ask “Can I trust him? Does he want me for a friend, or only for what I can give him?”

Pendulum Reading 101

12

    A pendulum is a very potent and reliable tool for connecting to a higher guidance and getting right answers to any question. Although it only takes a few minutes to learn how to use a pendulum, it can take a bit of practice to master the art of pendulum dowsing for maximum pendulum reliability.

WHAT IS A PENDULUM?

A pendulum is – in this case – a small weight on the end of 6 – 10 inch piece of thread, string, twine, or chain.

WHAT MOVES A PENDULUM?

Thought moves the pendulum. Thought directs the subconscious as to the direction in which the pendulum is to move. The subconscious uses the brain to send signals along the neurological pathways that control the muscle “twitches” that move the pendulum in the desired direction.

WHY USE A PENDULUM?

To gain information from:

1) Your Subconscious Mind.

2) Your body and cells of your body.

3) Your Higher Self (the intuitive spiritual part of your spirit).

4) Other Spirits.

 Spirit answers through the subconscious. This is why it is important to be clear of unconscious subconscious blocks to spirit communication. If your subconscious was trained (usually this happens in childhood) to fear spirits, or not to see or hear spirits, or that spirits do not exist, your subconscious will block spirit communication. When you ask for spirit communication and you have a subconscious block to this, your subconscious will supply the answers and/or visions you receive and it will attempt to please you by bringing you what you want to see and hear. Until you know if you have such blocks (information you can gain through the pendulum) and have done the work of clearing these blocks from the subconscious (not the conscious) mind communicate only with your own Higher Self. If information is needed from other spirit levels, your Higher Self will ask for this and will then give that information to you.

HOW ACCURATE IS INFORMATION I CAN GET FROM A PENDULUM?

Anywhere from accurate to completely inaccurate. The proper use of a pendulum, given below, can greatly enhance accuracy. Nevertheless, you will soon notice you can look at your pendulum and think which way you want it to move and it will move in that direction. The challenge of using a pendulum is to clear your mind completely of any conscious and unconscious thoughts about which directions the pendulum will move and which direction you want it to move. This is easier to do in some areas than in others. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to do when you are emotionally invested in something. Which is why you do not want to rely on the use of a pendulum to make decisions that affect your ego or your emotions. Use the pendulum as one of several tools for gathering information from which you can make well informed choices.

WHERE DO I GET A PENDULUM?

Many health food stores, metaphysical book shops, psychic fairs, crystal shops sell pendulums as do many massage centers.

HOW CAN I MAKE A PENDULUM?

Use a piece of thread, string, thin rope or chain of about 6 – 8 inches and loop it through or tie to one end a ring, pendent, metal washer, crystal, wood – anything that makes a weight. (Do not use magnets or magnetized objects.)

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

    • Take a piece of paper. Draw a circle on it. Draw a vertical straight line down the middle of the circle. Draw a horizontal across the middle of the circle. You will now have a big cross in the middle of the circle. Now draw a big X in the circle by drawing a two diagonal straight lines. Your circle will look like this:

  • Sit down. Breathe in and out slowly. EVERY TIME before you use a pendulum mentally imagine yourself surrounded with a gold and white protective light. Now mentally imagine the light of your spirit flowing in through the top of your head (crown chakra) to your third eye. Mentally image this white light flowing to a mental image or thought in your mind of the planet earth – surrounding and filling it. This will increase your own spiritual and physical energy. Now mentally image the white light of your spirit filling your brain and your body. Now tap a 3 inch circle around your thymus – counter clock wise. (The thymus is about an inch and a half below the hollow between your collar bones on your chest. Start tapping at 12:00, just above the thymus. Then tap 11:00, 10:00, 9:00 and so on to make about a 3 inch circle around the thymus. This circle is the clock and you are tapping counter clock wise.) Tapping your thymus in this manner balances the meridian energy flows of your body. This is important in any kind of muscle response testing, which is what you are using when using a pendulum.
  • The next five steps you will only need to do once. Their purpose is to establish the directions for your muscle testing response: Place your feet on the floor and place the paper on the floor between your feet. Rest the lower arm of the hand that is holding the pendulum along your thigh. Hold the end of the string/thread/rope or chain between your thumb and a finger. It does not matter which hand you use or which thumb or which finger or even if you use two fingers instead of a thumb. Let the pendulum dangle down between your knees so that the weight at the end of the string is dangling above the center point of the circle (where the lines intersect).
  1. Say aloud: “Show me the ‘yes’ signal.” (You are talking to your subconscious.) Note the direction the pendulum moves. Clock-wise around the circle? Counter Clock-wise around the circle? Side to side? Up and down? Diagonally? (If the pendulum does not move immediately, continue to say “Yes”, “Yes”, “Yes” aloud until it does. This could happen quickly, or it may take awhile. If it has not happened after 10 minutes, move on to the “no” directions below or try this again later. Once the pendulum is moving in a definite direction for “yes” state aloud: “This direction is my ‘yes’ signal.”
  2. Say aloud: “Show me the ‘no’ signal.” (You are talking to your subconscious.) As with the ‘yes’ signal, note the direction the pendulum moves. (If the pendulum does not move immediately, continue to say “no”, “no”, “no” aloud until it does.) Then say aloud “This is my ‘no’ signal.”
  3. Repeat these steps to find these directional signals: “kind of”, “don’t know”, “can’t say”, “ask later.”
  4. Now make several simple statements (one at a time) to which you know the answers. Such as: My name is ____. I live at __________. I am _______ years old. My hair color is ______. My eye color is _____. This is for practice and to make certain your signals are working properly.
  5. Once you are certain of the directions for each response, mark these down on the paper with the circle so that you remember them. You can use the circle graph each time you use the pendulum until you are familiar with the responses. When this happens you will no longer need to use it. You can then hold the pendulum in any way you want, as long as you keep the arm and hand steady.

How To Prepare For A Pendulum Reading

10

Prepare yourself before each pendulum session

  1. Always cite the source before asking questions. You can say (either out loud or silently) “I call upon the higher self to answer these questions. I will only accept answers from the higher self and not from my conscious mind. I seek absolutely truthful answers that are aligned with the highest and greatest good for all concerned.” You can definitely craft your own version of this – just make sure you use it each time.
  2. Cleanse the energy around and within you. Do this by visualizing a cleansing shower of white light that envelopes you.
  3. Quiet your mind (both before and while using your pendulum). Are you relaxed? If necessary, do a mini-meditation. “Mini” as in 30 to 60 seconds prior to beginning. Visualize a calm happy place that has no distractions – like a beach or forest. Visualize yourself sitting or laying peacefully in solitude, enjoying nature. Doing this sets the tone for your pendulum session and will provide a resting place for your conscious mind while you use your pendulum.
  4. Breathe. Slow steady breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth will calm and center you.
  5. Ground yourself. Visualize tree roots that connect your body to the earth. Allow these roots to penetrate deep into the earth’s mantle, wrapping around large quartz crystals or if you like, beautiful gemstones.
  6. Be present – Do not try to multi-task. While you are using your pendulum, don’t also be thinking about what’s on your to-do list, or what sounds good for dinner tonight. Just focus on the task at hand and you can return to your normal state of multi-tasking when you are finished.
  7. Be patient – allow the pendulum as much time as it needs to swing.
  8. Be objective. Recognize that neutrality is your friend. While it may be tempting to allow your conscious mind to influence the pendulum’s answers, know that if it is allowed to exercise any influence, the outcome will be useless.
  9. Be unemotional. Using your pendulum when you are emotionally upset will yield unreliable results. Asking emotionally charged questions can make it difficult to stay grounded and objective and get good answers. You can do it, but you have to approach it calmly and be willing to set your emotional responses off to the side.
  10. Don’t try to predict the outcome. Willingly or unwillingly, predicting or just anticipating the pendulum’s swing will sabotage your results. If you find yourself predicting or even if you’re unwillingly anticipating the outcome – it’s the same thing as trying to predict. Here’s a powerful trick: Close your eyes and look up. This little muscle exercise will temporarily short-circuit the conscious mind’s involvement and bring you back to a neutral, unbiased state.
  11. To get a stronger response, say “respond louder please”or “be more clear”.
  12. Cup your free hand underneath the weight stone to help focus energy.

Asking Well-Phrased Questions

You’ve heard the phrase “Garbage in – garbage out”? It’s a computerism used to illustrate the value of data on both sides of a process, and it pertains to pendulums too. The quality of the questions you ask your pendulum will determine the quality of the answers you get. Truly, it’s all in the language. Here’s how to frame a good question:

  1. Be specific. Use names, dates, times, places, anything that narrows the focus on the matter. For example “Is it in my best interest to attend the “How to Use a Pendulum” workshop taught by __________ (instructor name) at ______________ (location) on__________ (date) at _________ (time)?
  2. Make sure your question can be answered with yes or no.
  3. Don’t use the words “Should” or “Supposed to” in your pendulum questions.
  4. Do use phrases that your higher self can relate to. Insert your own details into the blanks on the following sample questions:
  • Is it in my best interest to _______________________________?
  • Is it in the best interests of all concerned if I _________________________?
  • Would it be worthwhile for me to ____________________________?
  • Am I correct in believing that ______________________________?
  • Is it wise for me to _________________________________?

Here’s an example of a poorly phrased question: “Should I go to Mary’s party?” These are the problems with this question:

  1. The word “Should” is vague and asks for an opinion based on undefined parameters.
  2. Mary who?
  3. Where is this party?
  4. What day?
  5. What time?

The Use Of Pendulum

9

You might already see it in plenty of movies where the hypnotist asks his subject to stare at a small object hanging from a string. “You are getting sleepy,” he intones as the eyes of this person follow the pendulum’s trajectory back and forth. Soon the helpless subject is under hypnosis.

Despite the movie-house era stereotypes, pendulum readings are becoming one of the most popular forms of psychic readings today. They require a few simple objects and must be operated with consistency.

A pendulum is simply a small weighted object hanging from a string or wire. The object may or may not have significance to you. It could be a nut or bolt you find on the sidewalk. It could be a diamond ring passed down to you from your great-grandmother.

A small object no larger than an inch in diameter is perfect. Attach a string to this object. The string should be about a foot long and thin but strong; a wire or fishing line is great. The goal of the string is to be as invisible as possible with no chance of breaking.

Once you have assembled your pendulum, practice the art of establishing its motion. The pendulum should swing across the field of your vision. It should never go out of sight. Hanging at arm’s length from your face, rock the pendulum back and forth a few times until you find a way for it to arc from side to side at a slow steady pace.

Once you have established a steady swinging movement, the next step is to visually focus on the space of the pendulum. The rhythm of your conscious mind following that object in space repeatedly lets you slowly release the tensions and distractions of daily life.

The goal of the pendulum is to stoke your intuition. Through intuitive awakening, your psychic senses become sharper and more accurate. It is a simple process of being absorbed by the constant motion until the repetitive rhythm has so relaxed your mind that the future unfolds like a complex puzzle solving itself.

The five most common Pendulum Rituals:

Retreat

Performing a pendulum ritual while on vacation is a fantastic way to maximize the psychic potency of an ordinary pendulum reading. When we are away, it is much easier to remain alone and undistracted in a quiet and relaxing space, be it in your hotel room or on the beach. Plan ahead and book a hotel that advertises itself as a peaceful retreat or is known for its seclusion.

Try the vacation pendulum reading a few times a day. This ritual is better for awakening psychic sensitivity than for resolving a specific question. You are more likely to have psychic revelations after doing this ritual and will increasingly become more prone to having them.

Daily

If you can organize your day as such, performing a pendulum reading daily at exactly the same time and in the same place is a powerful ritual. This ritual allows for investigations of a pressing question. If you can perform the ritual daily in a disciplined adherence to the timing, you will find quick and clear answers arise when you fixate on specific, focused questions at the beginning of the ritual.

During a Phone Reading

Perform the ritual if you are having a difficult time concentrating on a psychic reading you are receiving via the phone or internet. As you concentrate on the pendulum, the words of your psychic reading will penetrate deeper. The pendulum’s visual preoccupation creates a space of intense concentration. The clarity of your psychic’s message will astound you after trying this a few times.

Two-Person

Before technology allowed for psychic readings over the phone and internet, the norm was to have one’s psychic hold the pendulum as you worked to reach a point of clarity and reception. This is still popular and gets great results. A psychic knows how to instantly access the power of the pendulum. You can just relax and focus on your question while your advisor enters a meditative state.

Mounted

As you get familiar with the weight and physical presence of your pendulum, you may tire of holding it in your hand. The value of hand-held pendulum readings is that they can rarely go on for more than ten minutes. Your arm naturally tires and breaks the rhythm of the pendulum.

Fatigue is a good thing in this context because it allows you to have a finite amount of psychic space, drawing a boundary. Limiting your psychic space allows you to gain clarity and then move on to the next thing.

Once you have established a regular Pendulum reading, mounting your pendulum on a doorway or a mantle, will allow you longer, deeper attempts at expanding that psychic space you have established. But be aware that the longer you stay with the pendulum, the more likely your reading will suffer from the cloudiness of fatigue.

Swing it, Baby

A pendulum reading makes you more open to a psychic reading and is great for enhancing your psychic powers within the unfolding of your own personal narrative.

Use of Pendulum 101

9

People are finding different ways to connect to the spirits and one of which is through Pendulum.  Pendulums can be made of different materials, some people using a simple necklace with a crystal or charm at the end. Be sure the bob or bobber – or weight on the end – is not too light or too heavy. It should weigh less than half an ounce. The best shape for the weight – or point – is something that comes to a point. The best length for the pendulum is six inches. You can make your pendulum or buy one.

Pendulums are a simple way to communicate with the other side. I have seen people in stores use them to select products such as: books, food, clothing, just about anything.

The most common types of pendulums are:

– a crystal tied with wire then suspended on a chain or cord
– a chain necklace with some kind of charm suspended at the bottom
– a chain with metal pointer at the bottom – these are usual store bought
– the human body


peHow To Use A Pendulum
Once you select your pendulum you are ready to begin.

Sit down and get comfortable. Your mind and body should feel relaxed with no stress.

You can rest your elbow on a table in front of you allow the pendulum to swing free, or you can hold your arm in a horizontal position, again allowing your pendulum to swing freely.

You do not have to be psychic to use a pendulum. It will guide itself. It is moved by either your thoughts or someone in spirit who works through you, generally your spirit guide.

The first step is to get the feel of the pendulum and how it will move for you.


pendulumarc2Pendulums movements:

– straight line – side to side or front and back
– circles – clockwise or counterclockwise
– elliptical motion
– some pendulums bob up and down to indicate strong action, usually affirmative

Most questions asked when using a pendulum have Yes or No answers. You must determine the direction your pendulum will take for Yes and for No.

Hold the pendulum in your hand. With the other hand – touch the point/bobber to steady its motion.

Keep your eyes on the point.

Now address the pendulum and say, “Show me ‘Yes’.” It will soon swing in one direction, which could be side to side, back and forth, or circles.

Now say, “Show me No.” It should swing in the opposite direction.

Be certain the pendulum is not being guided by the movement of your hand or fingers.

Once you have determine the pattern for Yes and No – you are ready to begin.

There are times that the answer is unknown – or the spirit needs more information. At that time – the pendulum will generally swing diagonally or not at all.

The faster the movement – the stronger the energies.

Sometimes a pendulum will appear to bob or dance up and down. This is usually an affirmative response. the point is sometimes called a bobber.

There are generally no rituals involve with pendulum use, though some people hold their pendulum in the palm of their hand before they begin, to ‘charge’ it.

When you ask your questions you may want to record the answers.

Now you are ready to begin to ask your questions.

Start with something simple such as, “Is it sunny today?” “Is it Monday?” “Are you here to answer my questions?”

Once you get the ‘swing’ of it – you can move on to personal questions.

Remember to only ask a question ONCE. If you want more information – you might want to use a chart. At this time the pendulum should be about two inches above the chart – or as is comfortable.

If the motion of your pendulum increases – or the circles get large – the energy is increasing and you can expect change linked to the question you were asking. Pursue further questions to get additional information.

So, you can get accurate responses. In time and with practice, you can improve your dowsing accuracy and increase pendulum reliability in every area of interest.

Ghosts: Myths vs. Facts

15

What is a ghost?

This is a deceptively awkward question! The answer you get will completely depend on whom you ask. The “ghost” is one of the most popular concepts of the paranormal (beyond normal). Yet, there is not one agreed-upon definition across disciplines of what a ghost is since one has never actually been caught and examined. image-ghost-2

Facts about ghosts:

  • No ghost has ever been confirmed caught and/or examined by anyone or anything. Therefore, we can’t determine its actual characteristics with any amount of certainty.
  • There is no scientific conclusion that any other realm exists for our “being” to pass to after death.
  • There is no evidence that “energy” remains or can be contained in a human-looking entity after the body is dead.
  • Paranormal investigations are rarely supported by good historical evidence and scholarship. Techniques of investigation are amateurish and tend to support a prior belief instead of discovering verifiable and verified information.
  • No equipment has ever been shown to actually detect ghosts. Not even “ghost detectors”. Ghosts used to be described as full apparitions, not mists or orbs streaks of light. Modern ghost pictures are obscure; a full body apparition has never been verified on film though many hoaxes of them have been publicized by the media. Hoaxing must always be considered for ghost “evidence” because it is tremendously prevalent.

Why do people still believe that ghost does exist?

ghost-image-3The evidence for ghosts is so very weak, but people still believe in them. This belief is an ancient part of human cultures across the world. Why?

The idea of ghosts offers many people comfort; who doesn’t want to believe that our beloved but deceased family members aren’t looking out for us, or with us in our times of need? Ghosts served an important literary purpose and were useful in storytelling. Some of these stories were believed to be accurate even though they were made up. Most people believe in ghosts because of personal experience, they have seen or sensed some unexplained presence. Our culture allows us the option of interpreting these strange events as “ghosts”.

How can we explain ghostly experiences?

Believing in ghosts is not ridiculous. It’s a common human idea. When our senses and our brains mess with our perceptions, we may be justified in believing in paranormal experiences. Most people do not comprehend that our senses can and will fool us all the time. We see, hear, smell and feel things that are not really there, thanks to our brains.

When we are bombarded with media messages about ghosts, presented as if factual, it is easy to buy into the belief especially when it is culturally acceptable to do so.

There are many circumstances where people may perceive they have experienced a ghost. Natural conditions that may in some cases cause people to feel uneasy include exposure to infrasound, darkness, silence, closed in spaces, or high electromagnetic fields. But the most important factor seems to be prior belief in ghosts and expectation that they are present. This is why haunted places enhance their reputation as much as they can. The more they tell you others experienced paranormal phenomena there, the more likely that you will attribute every anomaly to the paranormal and not seek out the actual explanation.imageghost1

These questions may help in determining whether a situation can be considered ghostly or not:

  • Why do ghosts wear clothes? If ghosts are human souls, why do they appear clothed with inanimate objects like hats and canes. Why do ghost trains, cars and carriages exist who have no life energy?
  • How can a limbless, immaterial spirit move objects, slam doors or make footstep sounds?
  • How can an entity without organs and vocal chords produce speech or screams? How can voices we can’t hear be recorded on a device?
  • Why don’t paranormal groups collaborate and show that they can get the same evidence, independently and blinded, on multiple occasions?
  • Humans can detect quantum particles with extremely sensitive instrumentation. Why can’t we yet detect ghosts?
  • If a place is really, really haunted, why haven’t scientists been able to set up shop there and finally capture genuine paranormal phenomena?

 

 

 

 

Choosing A Dowsing Pendulum To Work With

10

Pendulum dowsing, also called “divining” is the ability to provide information and predict the future. The term is Dowsing Pendulumoften used to refer to the search for specific targets, while the term “pendulum divining” is most often used in reference to seeking precise information.  To explain it better, just as radios pick up information from unseen radio waves, the pendulum is likened to a powerful antenna that receives information from the vibrations and energy waves emitted by people, places, thoughts and things. Albert Einstein, a noted physicist, was known to perform impressive feats with such dowsing tools.

A pendulum can be made from metal, wood, or crystal stones, will each have different properties.  You will choose a dowsing pendulum that is right for you by finding one that appeals to your sense of color, size, and shape.

Your selection of a  pendulum can also be based on balance, form, color, or the properties of the stone if you are looking at crystals. If you choose a crystal pendulum, each stone has different properties and you can choose based on what each stone offers. A wood pendulum has a smooth, solid, earthy feel to it. A metal pendulum also has a smooth feel, but is heavier in weight and gives a sense of balance.

Dowsing Pendulum with chainYou first either need to purchase a pendulum or make your own. It is recommend for a beginner to purchase a pendulum instead of making one.  Each pendulum has a chain about ten inches long attached to it and has a small counter weight or crystal at the other end. There are many places online that you can buy a dowsing pendulum, or if you have a local metaphysical bookstore, you can buy one there as well.

There is no specific type of pendulum that necessarily works better than another.  It would all come down to personal taste and finding one that resonates with you. For a beginner, try to find one that seems more responsive to your energies. You can either purchase one based strictly on its vibration and how you feel when looking at it, or you can test out a variety and see which one feels better in your hand and is the most responsive to a few basic yes/no question.

Most dowsing pendulums range from about $15.00 to $50.00, with most of them being around $20.00 to $30.00. For a fairly low investment and perhaps a book on dowsing, you can start connecting to your higher self.

Care for your dowsing pendulum is no light matter.  This is an item that gets attuned to your specific energy, so please don’t share your pendulum with a friend or family member. If they are also interested in learning how to dowse, it would make a wonderful gift idea, but do not share yours.
Dowsing Pendulum with a box
Find a spot to store your pendulum. A lot of those sold from shops and online stores come with a storage pouch, however it would also be a good idea to find a special sturdy box to put it in when not in use.  Keep it in a safe place.  One that is out of the way where others won’t accidentally come upon it and touch it, as others can transfer their energy to the pendulum, thus muddying your answers and not giving you accurate information.  Your pendulum gets attuned to you and you to it, that is very private and your pendulum should be treated as such.

Increase Your Pendulum Power With These 4 Tips

pendulumIt is very important for a light worker to keep our personal energy field free of negative vibes.   Having a spiritual routine which would most likely incorporates daily meditation and journaling for emotional outlet, and and participating in workshops and healing courses are all good practices and certainly will point you to the right direction.

However, should one of your chakras not be in optimum drive, you aren’t functioning properly.  It might not be news you want to hear but it is important as an an energy healer and spiritual teacher to find any negative energy lurking in your chakras.  Once identified, you can let it out and replace it with positive energy.

Finding and identifying the blockages or imbalances in your chakras is the first step to being able to treat them, and this is where pendulums can prove to be incredibly helpful tools for energy healing. You can use a pendulum on a partner to check their chakras with their pen

A free and clear chakra will spin gently in the right direction, which should be reflected in the movement of the pendulum.  Like any skill, patience and practice are key components to success with a pendulum, but here are four additional tips to start you off on the right foot.

  1. Choose the right type of pendulum.

Technically, a pendulum can be any weighted object that is attached to a cord or string and can freely swing in all amethyst crystal pendulumdirections when held from a fixed point. But for examining energy flow through chakras, I highly recommend a conical-shaped pendulum made of beech wood. Choose wood, rather than metal, stone, or crystal, because it is safer. Crystal pendulums can actually cut a chakra, and that is not what we want!

  1. Let the pendulum absorb your energy.

When you receive your pendulum, keep it close to you, preferably on your person, for several days before using it. Carry it around in your pocket during the day and sleep near it at night, and feel free to handle it if you’d like. This will allow the pendulum to soar.

  1. Bless your pendulum before each use.

You have your own energy signature, and since the pendulum works by amplifying energy, the better attuned to your unique vibrations it is, the better and more accurate your results.

Every aspect of energy healing comes from Source, from the universal field, and acknowledging that before attempting readings is a good way to stay humble and keep ego—a roadblock to energy healing—in check. Then, bless your pendulum by communicating with your spirit guides, angels, and higher self to request that they help the pendulum’s movements stay true. How the pendulum moves will illuminate the state of each chakra, so you want to ensure that there is some guidance from beyond the physical plane. Remain open to their assistance and available to their influence.

  1. Test your pendulum before reading chakras.

Try a test run before you attempt to use your pendulum to check chakras. Hold the cord and let the pendulum hang down, keeping your arm and hand still. Ask a question to which you know the answer is “yes.”  Watch for which way the pendulum moves—this is your pendulum’s signal for yes. Repeat the process with a question to which you know the answer is “no.” This test run will give you a baseline for yes and no responses that you can then use to ask questions that you do not consciously know the answer to, but your unconscious does. It’s like a magic eight ball that’s tuned in to a deeper part of you, and will make the results of your chakra test stronger.

Utilize these tips to bring your spiritual tool to optimum performance.  Also, even in this field, the saying practice makes perfect applies. With more and more practice, you become better at interpreting the pendulum’s messages, and simultaneously increasing your intuition.  Eventually, you will not need the pendulum to read chakras.

The Power Of Pendulum

10

pendulum 2I have an exceptionally solid conclusion on pendulums. I think pendulums are “an intense learning instrument”. So what precisely would it be advisable for them to be utilized for?

To help you to understand the power behind the “Law of Intention”.

How does that work? Because pendulums can be manipulated by your very own energy…and it is an amazing thing to witness! Especially when you are the one making the pendulum move. This is why you should not ever use pendulums to help you find the answer to a question. Especially if you are trying to get an answer by watching the way in which it moves or spins. Because you can manipulate pendulums, in essence manipulating your answer.

By the same token, you can manipulate a pendulum…by using your thoughts or by the “power of intention”.

Wow! How cool is that? To have something you can physically see, be affected and manipulated by something you cannot see? I have heard that you cannot manipulate a crystal or a acrylic pendulum, but you can. I have done it, many times, and have shown others how to do it to. And frankly, learning how to direct your energy in such a way that you can “feel” your intention, is a way more powerful learning tool then having it tell you “yes” or “no” to a question. So I feel that “the real power behind the pendulum” is extremely underutilized, over looked, or not even known to most people.

Through this exercise you will experience “the power of thought”.

You will actually experience how it “feels” when working with the “Law of Intent”. You will really get to see how powerful your thoughts are, and discover how your intent actually has an external effect on the world around you.

Pendulum Exercise

pendulum 1 featured1) Find a pendulum or make a pendulum. If you do not have a pendulum you can use a light string or piece of thread to attach the pendulum to. Then for the pendulum, find something weighted, (it can be a screw, bolt or nut), and attach it to the bottom of the string. I often bring a piece of thread and a screw for my students as they are common household objects that they can find at home.

2) Find a sturdy place to rest your elbow like a table. Then, place you elbow on the table and hold the pendulum string between your thumb and pointer finger. Your forearm should make about a 45 degree angle with the table.

3) Hold the pendulum steady with the other hand to initially stop it from swinging. Once the pendulum is still, then release it gently.

4) Concentrate on “seeing” the pendulum move in a circle clockwise. As you concentrate on the pendulum you will begin to see it move slightly. Keep “seeing it” move in your mind’s eye, in a bigger and bigger circle clockwise.

5) After the pendulum is moving quite well clockwise. Imagine that you now want to “see” the pendulum move in the opposite direction, counter clockwise. Now visualize and imagine that you can make the pendulum move counter clockwise just by thinking about it, and “seeing” it happen. While you are concentrating on moving the pendulum counter clockwise, you will begin to see it slowly stop, and it will begin to move in the other direction.

6) Next you can try moving it from side to side, or forward and backward, in the same manner as above.

PendulumPractice this and have fun with the exercise. It might start as subtle movements at first, but the more that you practice this exercise, the better you will become. You will learn how to “harness” and focus your energy. As you learn how to focus this energy you will begin to able to move the pendulum with ease, whichever way you chose, faster and faster.

This is a really great exercise which helps train you how to “direct your energy” properly when it comes to bringing things into your life. It is important to know that this is how “the power of intent works” with energy that is directed by you in the physical world. It is the same concept when working with “the power of intent” which forms things in your future by just imagining them. When you really begin to “feel” how this works with the pendulum, then you can begin to direct and feel this same energy during meditation, while working on creating desired outcomes.

How to Extract Information from your Sub-Conscious Mind Using Pendulum

10

pendulum 1A pendulum is an object suspended by a cord or string. We can use this as a tool to extract information from our sub-conscious mind, to have a hint on any limited belief, insight and decisions that may be hindering us to freely experience abundance in our life.

Benefits of Using Pendulum:

* Access Sub-conscious Memory.
* Identify Hidden Information in Memory Bank.
* Trace Limited Belief, Perception and Judgment.
* Receive Guidance from the Higher Mind (Super-Conscious Mind).
* Receive Guidance from Divine Source like Angels and Ascended Master Consciousness.

Before we start to learn how to use a pendulum for this purpose, here are a few things I would like to share regarding the myths of pendulum dowsing.
WHY DOES A PENDULUM MOVE BY ITSELF WHEN I ASKED A QUESTION?

The pendulum does not move by itself. When a question is asked to our higher self (super-conscious mind), we will receive a response or answer through our subtle energetic and electromagnetic field, which is than translated into muscle movement in our body. This subtle muscle movement is then translated to a movement of the pendulum.
WHAT IS THE BEST PENDULUM MAKE, SIZE, WEIGHT AND SHAPE?

pendulum 2It can be of any make, material, size, weight or shape. Personally, I use a lightweight object so that I can receive a fast and clear response. It can be a small round or cone shaped plastic. It can also be of metal, crystal or any material of choice. There is no right or wrong, but rather, a personal choice in choosing a pendulum for yourself.
WILL I GET AN ACCURATE ANSWER IF I ASK THE PENDULUM?

First of all, the pendulum will not give us an answer! If we had asked or directed a question at the pendulum, we will not receive a response. This is because the pendulum is only an inanimate object, without life nor consciousness.

Also our sub-conscious mind will not understand what and who we are asking. So when we want to ask a question, we should shift our focus and intention to directing the question to our higher self instead of pendulum.
WHAT IS CONSCIOUS MIND, SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND AND SUPER-CONSCIOUS MIND?

The conscious mind is the rational mind that we use to read this guide book, to experience our daily life, to work, to play, etc.

How we analyse and perceive the content of this book is fully influenced by our beliefs, perceptions and judgement that has taken root in our sub-conscious mind. For example, some people may find this exciting but some will feel bored. This is all influenced by our sub-conscious mind’s belief system.

pendulum 3Our subconscious mind also does not discriminate on the kind of information it chooses to store. What it does store will then become the filter or fences of our experiences. Variously, the subconscious mind would have picked up many limited and disempowering beliefs that do not serve our highest good, especially in our childhood years.

We can only imagine the many limited beliefs about abundance, money, relationship, life and spirituality and even worldviews that has unconsciously shaped our perceptions and beliefs. So now, when we are aware of the right things that we want consciously, we find that we have difficulty achieving or getting that which we want. Unknown to many of us, no matter what we do or how we do things in hope of achieving that which we want, our sub-conscious programming and beliefs has been sabotaging our efforts.

The super conscious mind represents the Self that hold all the wisdom accumulated from all our past experiences.
