I 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

1) 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.

Practice 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.

A 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?

It 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.

Our 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.

Whether a pendulum is utilized to make a clock tick or on the off chance that you need to utilize this gadget to choose critical choices the instrument of the pendulum is the same – a weight joined to a string or chain that permits the hung weight to move forward and backward however a swing activity created by the powers of gravity. It can work either by holding your Pendulum directly in your hand or be used as fixed point connection like in a clock. Pretty cool when you think about the simplicity of the Pendulum actions in relation to the very thing that keeps us in place on this rotating Earth.

This momentum will power your clock as well as your decisions according to those that believe in the art of Pendulum readings. And if tool to gain spiritual insight is driven by the very effects of our planet; how could I not wonder further about this connection.

Before you pooh-pooh the idea that a Pendulum could help decide crucial decisions let me tell you what I have learned. Aside from working with insightful and knowing individuals at Zodiac Tarot Live, I have experienced since committing myself to Tarot as a professional reader after 30 years of loving it as a tool for myself, family and friends, I have been exposed to a variety of different forms to connect with our spiritual side and our guides; who I believe are there to help us through tools like Tarot, Mediums and the Pendulum. I have even taken the concept of the throwing of coin in relation to I Ching interpretations used by a close friend to a much simpler exercise for me. I use the humble act of flipping a coin for a yes or no answer I seek. I have become so confident in the outcome of my coin toss I have used its message to decide everything from purchases to the act of knowing the time was now to put down my most beloved pet. When we trust in God and the universal direction that is available to us if we ask, I have learned it does not matter what medium we use, but the heart and goodness of the intention of the message is what matters.
Let us see what the Pendulum and its wonder have to offer us. The origin of the word Pendulum derives from the Latin word Pendulous meaning Hanging Down. Interestingly, you find the hanging down, hanging in time concept in both Tarot and Astrology. These are important life lessons in each. There are meditations and Angels we can call upon to get us through the times we feel we are just hanging in time; leaving many of us frustrated and angry and why we need to learn this is a necessary component of life.

Contemplating time is an overall concept we all deal with daily; and how many of us realize what we really want to do and what is important in our lives in relation with our time as we grow more mature. I can now easily understand how a Pendulum can be used as a tool to connect with answers.

The primary purpose of conducting a Pendulum reading is to get the reader into an intuitive state than easily connects with their spiritual guidance and answers. It is even said to enhance a reading by others such as Mediums, Tarot and Astrology Readers, anywhere you want your psychic senses to be enhanced is helped by the meditation of a Pendulum beforehand. The continually back and forth motion is not unlike the Om chant for those that practice the teachings of Buddha, who use the repetitive chant as a way of releasing tensions and clearing away any distractions in our conscious mind set.  Through this intuitive awakening, your psychic senses become heightened and enriched. Those who partake of daily Pendulum meditation say it makes facing the day easier, one where we are more willing to let life take its course – much like the Latin definition of Hanging Down.

Comparable to my coin toss above, seeking answers of the yes and no kind maybe the best way to use the simple process of entering a meditative and spiritual connected state supplied by the constant rhythm of the Pendulum. I found through my research it was often said the questions should have answers where you can control the outcome. I found this was true of my flip of the coin as well. Using a classic example, Will I marry him? Versus Should I marry him? Is the style of control I am speaking about. In the Will I Marry question I have no control of the situation; I may not even be in a relationship as of yet and only hoping for one. But if I am faced with a Yes or No in the Should I Marry question – then the answer is in my control. And I have learned from myself and many, many readings of people in this style question situation; if you are pausing then you have your answer! And why a Pendulum reading can be so important in allowing us to listen to our heart and intuitive voice instead of outside influences.

When people ask me about getting started reading Tarot cards, I not only encourage their outreach into the fascination that is Tarot, but also to use and pull a card daily so they can experience firsthand what a cards meaning is asking you to learn. The same is true of Pendulum meditation. It can become your daily activity to connect with your intuitive side – and relax you through the experience as well! How nice is that!

It is easy to get started too. Choose an object that you wish to use as the weight and the ‘string’ that will act as the conduit for the Pendulums back and forth motion.  Either of these items can be of your choosing and connection. It can be store bought, a chain from a loved one, a lucky coin appearing to you in the lot or a special rock found at the shore. It can have meaning to you or not it is said. Call me silly but I would imagine something specially chosen by us would carry that much more ability to connect and making it more open for us to use daily. People also suggest using your hand as the stationary point of the Pendulum at first which allows the senses of your body to be included in the experience of the intuitive.

Once you are happy with the distribution of the weight and swing of your Pendulum find a comfortable and quiet location to start your meditation. It is as easy as concentrating on the motion of the Pendulum while contemplating the answers you seek. Be open to the thoughts you will be having and your willingness to connect with what your subconscious wants to tell you. Be brave to face an answer. So many times, we wish for one thing, when we intuitively know our answer should be a different one than the one we wish for. And why I find Tarot and now Pendulum so important in connecting with our spiritual and intuitive selves for answers that are truly best for us – despite our reluctance to face such questioning.

So if are looking for an easy way to connect to what your intuition and spirit guides are seeking to answer for you then I suggest you begin to learn how to release your daily tensions and start swinging your Pendulum!

Familiarity with pendulum readings

Pendulum Readings are a well-known one and one you’ve seen commonly in motion pictures. In a scene right out of an old vintage film, a subliminal specialist guides their subject to gaze straight ahead at a little question swinging from a string. The trance inducer proceeds by presenting a quite well known line, “You are getting drowsy”, the subliminal specialist remarks and the eyes of the audience situated before the trance specialist just takes after the pendulum’s swing direction from back to forward etc… As you may recollect, soon the situated subject is soon under the spell of hypnosis. Well, despite the memories of movie-house era stereotypes, the marketplace of pendulum readings are quickly becoming popular and sought after as psychic readings go for today. They do require some simple objects and they must be operated with consistency.

Exactly, what is a pendulum?

So what is a pendulum? A pendulum is quite simply, a small but weighted object that hangs from a wire or on a string. What the object is exactly is up to you; the object may or may not have any significance directly to you. It could be a rock or a pebble found on the street, or it can be a treasured family heirloom, like your great-grandmother’s diamond ring that was passed down to you through your family.

Creating your very own pendulum

Whatever type of small item or object you select, it should be not much larger than one inch in diameter. Take this item and attach it to a string. Be sure to keep the string no longer than about a foot long and keep it thin but it should also be fairly strong. Consider using a wire of even a fishing line, both would be good. You should also be aware that the goal of the string is to be pretty much invisible and it should have absolutely no chance of breaking during mid-swing. Our psychics can guide you on how to assemble the pendulum for a Pendulum Reading with them.

Upon the completion of your assembly of your new pendulum, you’ll want to practice the art of driving its motion of its swing on its string. The idea is for the pendulum to swing back and forth across your particular field of vision. You don’t want it to ever swing out or away from your field of vision. You should hang it at a distance of your arm’s length from your face, then rock the pendulum backwards and forwards several times until you discover a way that it arcs from one side to the other at a slow but steady pace.

Using your pendulum and performing a pendulum reading

Now that you have a nice and steady swing motion, your next step is to focus visually upon the space of the pendulum as it swings. It is the rhythm of your mind in a conscious state that will allow you to slowly release the distractions and tensions of your daily life, as it follows the object in time and space on a repeated basis.

The objective of the use of the pendulum is to heighten your intuitive nature. It is through the intuitive awakening that your psychic senses will become accurate and most sharp. This is an easy process that includes being immersed by the continual motion of a repetitive action that has relaxed your mind so that you can envision the unfolding of your future as if a complex puzzle is solving itself.

Commonplace pendulum rituals

There are five commonplace pendulum rituals, our psychics can assist and advise you with each of these steps:

1. Retreat

Consider conducting a pendulum ritual while on a vacation. It’s a fantastic way to expand and make the maximum of psychic potency for a pendulum reading. As a matter of practice, it’s always easier to remain alone and undistracted in such a quiet and tranquil space. Whether it’s in your private hotel room or out on the open beach. Perhaps make a special plan for being away and find a hotel that is advertised as a tranquilizing and quiet retreat, one that is known for its seclusion.

You might try doing a vacation pendulum reading several times in a day. This is a ritual that is great for the awakening of your psychic sensitivity than for the resolution of a specific question you might have. You may be more likely to have a psychic revelation after the conduction of this ritual and it will enhance and increase as you become more prone to having them.

2. Daily pendulum reading

The daily pendulum reading is a powerful ritual. What is needed is for you to organize your day so that you have the pendulum daily reading at exactly the same time and also in the same place every single day. This ritual will allow for a full investigation of a most pressing question. Once you perform this daily ritual in a most disciplined manner as far as the timing, you will get answers that are quick and clear as they will arise when you fixate of a focused and specific question at the very beginning of this ritual.

3. Doing a pendulum reading during a phone reading

Use one of our psychic’s to do a reading and inform them that you’re going to perform a pendulum reading while they do your phone reading. You can also perform this pendulum reading ritual especially if you are having a challenging time concentrating on your psychic reading that you are receiving over the phone or over the Internet. As a matter of practice and as you deliberately concentrate on your pendulum, the words you receive from your psychic reading will penetrate most deeply. You will see that the clarity of your message from your psychic will confound you especially after doing this several times. You see the visual preoccupation of the pendulum creates an area or a space of concentrated intensity.

4. Two-Person pendulum reading

As a matter of perspective, before technology became the norm and the practice for psychic readings over the phone or the Internet, common practice was to you’re your psychic actually hold your pendulum as you moved into a state or a point of clear reception or clarity. This can be practiced still and is also popular as it still gives great results. A great psychic knows just how to instantly access the pendulum’s power. All that’s needed is to get into a state of relaxation and concentrate on your question while your advisor enters into a meditative state.

5. Mounted pendulum reading

Becoming familiar with the weight and the physical presence of your pendulum is how you will begin with your pendulum readings. You will tire of holding it with your hand; this is only normal and natural. The best part of the hand-held pendulum readings is that they will rarely last for more than even ten minutes. One’s arm will naturally exhaust itself and this occurrence will cause the break of the pendulum’s rhythm.

You see in this context, your state of fatigue is actually a good thing, this creates a finite amount psychic space and it draws a boundary around this type of psychic reading. It limits your psychic time and space which means that you will increase clarity and then you can move on to the next thing or question, later.

Thus, after you are on a regular and continuous schedule of pendulum readings, you can mount your pendulum over or on a doorway or even on a mantle or some sort, this action will gain you much longer and deeper attempts to expand the psychic space you have created. Take note, as your work with the pendulum increases, it is most likely your pendulum reading will suffer from a cloud of your own fatigue.

6. Swing your pendulum

Be sure to reach out to one of our psychics and advise them that you want to do a pendulum reading during their psychic time with you. Having your own pendulum reading with them will allow you to become more open to a psychic reading. This practice is also so great and will enhance your own psychic abilities that will unfold for your own personal narrative and guide for your intended life.

Since the start of human existence, people have looked for answers and guidance in life’s decisions from anyone at anywhere. One of the numerous methods that individuals utilized was pendulum readings. What are pendulum readings? The vast majority hear pendulum and they consider something swinging forward and backward musically on a string, however this isn’t exactly a pendulum reading.

What You Need for Pendulum Reading

Pendulum readings do require a pendulum. Some say you should get a crystal or stone that is attached to a metal chain and shaped like an upside-down teardrop.  Others say any material such as metal or wood will also work as a pendulum and that the chain could instead be a silk cord. Others might say that using a personal item such a wedding ring or important necklace can work better, because the piece already is in tune to your energies.

An optional item that you could use as well is a pendulum board. The board can map out what the various directions the pendulum swings will signify. Normally boards have a yes, no, maybe, do not want to answer on them. They can be mapped with words or with images.  You will have to train your pendulum to swing corresponding to the board, so you can get consistent readings. Some pendulum readers like to use pendulum boards, others prefer to learn how their pendulum expresses yes and no.

What Can Be Asked?

Pendulums can be used to answer yes or no questions. It is important to be specific in your questions, because a too general one can lead to an answer that is true, but not the specific answer you were looking for.  For example, “Is this food good?” could bring about a yes answer, because nutritionally that food is good. However, if you are sick the food might not be good for you at the moment in time so a better question could be, “Will this food help my body fight this illness?”

Questions about things that you have no control over, such as “Will my boss choose me for the promotion?” Instead asking “Will I receive a promotion at work?” is more applicable, because it applies to you. Some people can do pendulum readings for others, but this takes lots of practice, so in general keep the readings about you.

How to Use Pendulums for Readings?

Pendulums move according to the energy vibrations of your subconscious and guiding spirits. It is important to practice with your pendulum to learn how it communicates and to bring it into synch with your energies. You can do this by asking several questions that you already know the answer to, such as “Is my name Emily?” and “Do I have brown eyes?” You want to ask a variety of yes and no questions, until you know how you pendulum answers.

With new pendulums it is important to do this practice at the beginning of each session to continue to being you in synch. As you grow, your pendulum might change how it answers questions so it is important to recheck every once in a while.

Some people like to carry their pendulum with them to have them on hand and to keep their energies close together. Others will store their pendulum in a special place in their home. No matter what you choose to do with your pendulum when you’re not using it, it is important to avoid letting other handle your pendulum as it can muddle the energies and create off readings until you recalibrate the pendulum to you.

Pendulum readings are relatively simple in theory, but it can take lots of practice and focus to prefect your technique and to receive consistently clear readings.

The precision of dowsing requires comprehension and thought. On the off chance that we dowse with thought and understanding of how the procedure works, dowsing not only works accurately, as well as is amazingly dependable.

Each dowser encounters the disappointments of getting false responses to some of their questions. In my thirty-four years of dowsing I have developed certain conclusions that have brought to light some reasoning that help to explain and understand the dowsing accuracy phenomenon.

One of the first books I read about dowsing put forth the essence of dowsing in its simplest terms. It stated that our creator gave us the dowsing ability for the specific purpose of self-preservation and to help insure man’s survival.

This can be demonstrated by the fact that for thousands of years man has successfully used dowsing to find water, and having this ability has been a crucial element for sustaining life, and insuring our self-preservation.

I have found that all dowsing questions can be broken down into several different categories, and only two of the categories can be relied upon for dowsing accuracy.

Self-Preservation

Self-preservation not only applies to our personal health and well being, but also the health and well being of our inner circle of friends and loved ones. Over the years every dowsing question I have asked encompassing this category has produced accurate results every time.

Here are a few of my own experiences with dowsing accuracy in this category

While traveling on a freeway in my truck and camper that was filled with friends and family I began to wonder if the tires on my truck were safe to drive on at the speed I was going. I dowsed the question using my cranial pendulum and got an emphatic no! Within two seconds after my foot hit the break to slow down the right rear tire blew out, and it took fighting for control over three freeway lanes to gain enough stability to pull over to the side and stop. (The cranial pendulum is a hands-free method of dowsing that any dowser can learn, and is explained in my map-dowsing course).

While camping in the wilderness with my wife and kids we decided to take our four-wheel drive vehicle into the mountains and enjoy the view from the mountain roads and fire trails. We were having so much fun that we lost all track of time and didn’t realize that it would soon be dark. Since the entire area was a maze of trails and forks in the road, and to make matters worse we were getting low on gas, we all knew that it would be almost impossible to retrace our movements back to camp in the dark. As everyone had a different idea about which direction our camp was, I decided to rely on my cranial pendulum to dowse the way back to camp. I’m glad I did. As it turned out, I made all the correct turns, and we were back in camp in less then ten minutes.

In the years between my first and second marriage I met many women, and before I would consider developing a relationship I would always dowse them for sexually transmitted diseases. If I felt an attraction at first sight, using my cranial pendulum allowed me to do this from a distance without having to meet them. As time passed the results of my dowsing proved to be lifesaving.

After being without health insurance for over twenty years, my wife turned sixty-five and qualified for Medicare. When she went in for her first physical the doctors found two large spots on her lungs. I immediately started dowsing to find out if it was cancer. I received a no to every question I asked. Because dowsing has never failed me in this category, I was convinced that she did not have cancer, and I told everyone my findings, even though the doctors and her family all thought she did. It turned out my dowsing was right. Lung surgery proved that the spots in question were caused by parts of the lung simply dying-off, and the doctors could not explain why.

To me, when dealing with the category of safety and self-preservation, I consider my dowsing to be an open line of communication between me and my guardian angle, and the guardian angles of my inner circle of friends and loved ones.

Before I delve into the one other category that always produces dowsing accuracy, let’s look at some categories that don’t always provide truthful answers:

Want to know… Need to know… Right to know…

Just because we want to know something, or think we need to know, doesn’t mean that we have a right to know the truthful answer to a question. Determining our right to know is not within our scope of abilities or understanding. Once we go beyond the root reasons for having the dowsing ability (self-preservation and survival), the all-knowing entity that decides how to answer our questions does the reasoning for us. If a question we ask invade the privacy of another, is ill intended, or does not have a meaningful, positive purpose, we cannot rely on getting an accurate answer.

Exhibitionism

Many dowsers who have been involved with dowsing for a long period of time have seen people who attempt to demonstrate the credibility of dowsing and dowsing accuracy on YouTube or in an event covered by the news media. Although the dowsers who perform the demonstrations may have a proven record of successful dowsing, I have yet to see a public demonstration pass the credibility test. I believe this is because man’s dowsing ability is spiritual in nature, is a gift to mankind, and was never intended or allowed to be flaunted.

The gray area in dowsing

I have found that the all-knowing entity that determines whether or not to give us correct answers to our dowsing questions can be encouraged to give our questions more serious consideration before responding. Let’s face it, many of the questions we ask are unimportant, frivolous, not well thought out, and subject to different interpretations. If we were to think of our all-knowing benefactor as a mortal being, think how bored, uninterested, and even irritated he would be when we ask him to waste his time considering questions without real beneficial purpose. We couldn’t really blame him for ignoring our questions and even slapping our dowsing instrument around causing it to produce erroneous answers.

Dowsing accuracy test (Force Verses Response)

You will discover below, there is a distinction between passive dowsing energy and focused dowsing energy.

If you have an important, serious question that you absolutely must have a truthful answer to, the result you get from performing this test should be reliable.

Grasp a plain wire coat hanger firmly in your hands palms up as shown. Position the hook end up about a 35-degree angel. Now, think of a question that you know the answer to like: (Does my daughter love me?) Instruct the hook on the coat hanger to point to the floor for an affirmative answer. Repeat the same question over and over again. You will find that the coat hanger hook will force its way towards the floor, and you won’t be able to stop it no matter how tight your grasp is.

By doing this test your benefactor will recognize that you are asking a serious question that deserves attention, and as you use the test with other dowsing questions you should discover that your benefactor is not inclined to impose a significant force to give you a false answer.

If you teach dowsing, the coat hanger test is an excellent way to demonstrate the existence of dowsing energy to a new student. A similar test can be made using various other dowsing instruments, but without the dramatic results. If you use an older type coat hanger made of heavy gage wire, be aware that the twisting force exerted by the hanger can cause injury to your hands.

The one other category that always produces accurate results is (Incremental Dowsing)

Because this category does not require asking for information that only your benefactor would know, you can always be certain that you will get accurate answers to your questions. The process is as basic and simple as dowsing can get. In fact, it embraces a totally new dowsing technology that is ideally suited for the practice of map dowsing. Utilizing this new technology allows you to solve crimes, locate abducted children, and even find lost buried treasures with ease.

Are you thinking how does the information come through the pendulum and where it is from? When the mind is free, calm, and in a relaxed condition, it is open to receiving information, which in turn transforms down through the string and into the pendulum. Some experts say the information comes between the forward swing and the back swing. It’s likened to the slight and almost indiscernible pause between inhaling and exhaling, and that pause is the moment when inspiration comes through the subconscious mind and into the pendulum.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT PENDULUM? 

The basic form and structure of a pendulum is a weight on a string or a chain. Pendulums come in a variety of forms, from the simple and homemade to the ornate. The quality of materials or construction of your pendulum matters less than your connection to it. Just about anything will work. I have a friend, who is an exceptional dowser; he keeps a key on a string in his desk, for moments when he needs to dowse at work.

Start with a simple pendulum that is relatively lightweight. A heavy pendulum can make it harder for a beginner to read answers properly, and make it difficult to move. For more accurate chart readings, choose a pendulum with a point at the bottom to aid in reading the numbers the pendulum is pointing at and swinging to. There are many methods to finding a pendulum, the one listed below is one of many options.

One method for finding your pendulum match:
Look first; note which pendulums draw your attention.
Pick up the ones you are drawn to, one at a time, and ask the pendulum 3 simple questions.

1. Are you in service to the light?*
   *Light and Dark both come from God / Source, and according to Hindu and Buddhist philosophy, Light and ark are part of the inevitable duality of this earth plane; it is important to understand that without the dark, we would not be able to see the Light.
   i. If “yes”, go on to the next question
   ii. If “no” (this is rare), put it down and pick up the next one that catches your eye.
2. Do you want to work with me?
   i. If “yes”, go on to the last question.
   ii. If “no”, put it down, pick up the next pendulum and start over.
3. On a scale of 1-10 how much do you want to work with me?
   i. Start the pendulum swinging in the “no” position (side to side or horizontal swing) and ask the numbers in sequence, 1-10, you will get a “yes” or vertical swing when you hit the correct number value.
   If the number value dowsed is a 7 or below try a different pendulum.
   ii. Look for the one that is a 10 for you. If you don’t find it in one shop keep looking. The right pendulum match is out there for you and you will find it.

For first time pendulum buyers shopping online can be tricky. One of my beginning students bought a very big metal pendulum online that was too heavy for her to work with. Though it did look very “cool” it was impractical for her to practice with and develop her skills.

DO I NEED TO CLEAN MY PENDULUM?

Follow your instinct. Some people feel protective about their tools, and enjoy energetically cleaning them. Following some cleaning rituals like soaking your crystal pendulum in a salt water solution for 24 hours, smudging it or laying it out in the sun for the day could always be helpful, because you believe it to be so, and it just might very well be. Take caution however, if your pendulum is a coated metal or the chain is a coated metal it might begin to corrode in the salt solution.

Personally, I don’t feel it necessary form me clean to my pendulum, unless I have dropped it. I believe that once you and your pendulum have chosen each other, see previous topic “How do I Find the Right Pendulum?” and have begun dowsing, you will know whether or not something needs to be cleaned, and it is likely not the pendulum, but an interference within you that can be easily corrected by dowsing the energy clearing protocols in the e-book “The Spirit of Dowsing A Beginners Guide” for yourself. If you think there is something not right with your pendulum try cleaning it or consider getting another one.

WHAT CAN I DO TO STAY FOCUSED WHILE DOWSING?

There is a set of preliminary questions that come before you actually begin to dowse for information. While the first three are concerned with establishing whether or not you should dowse, the other three set the parameters of the information you are seeking.
These three parameters are time, subject and question.
• Time: Generally the time of the inquiry is now–right at this moment. It may seem obvious, but you must still explicitly state the time frame that you are asking about. This necessity arises because it is possible to project inquires back in time, such as asking about yesterday, or last week.
• Subject: This is the person, place, or thing that you are inquiring about, yourself, a pet, a family member, your home, your workplace, etc. It is recommended that you concentrate on yourself and your home in the beginning of your practice. This will help you develop confidence and a stronger bond with your dowsing system.
• Question: This is the thing you want to know; the question you want answered. When you ask the question, it is recommended you verify again, the time and subject, even if they are the same. This will help you keep your focus when dowsing your subject.

HOW CAN I REMAIN NEUTRAL WHEN DOWSING?

Being child-like and curious in your approach to dowsing will allow you the space to be more relaxed, have a more neutral frame of mind, be more open to learning new things while having more fun.
Releasing all preconceived ideas or judgments about what you think “it” might be or what the “effects” could be, you will begin to notice the answers coming easily and effortlessly. The key is to be neutral, relaxed and detached. Allow your system to show you the answers while you watch
with awe.

In closing, These were just a few of the many questions I attempt to answer from my new dowsing students. My hope is to enrich and empower their practice.

I encourage my students to study with whichever expert dowsing teachers and methods they are drawn to. I like the way Sue Holmes, a Registered Dowser with the British Society of Dowsers says it, “You will meet many experts’ who all have their own methods and ideas about dowsing and energy work, learn what you can from each and find your own way through your own dowsing experiences”.

We can encourage others to change the energy in their lives through dowsing. It is my sincere wish that you found something in this article to be helpful in some way and or you know someone who could benefit from reading it.

Pendulum dowsing is an ancient art that exists for over 6 thousands years which is also called divining. It has the ability to foresee the future and give us information that we don’t know. It is seldom requested by clients and is highly belittled. Dowsing offers you to connect to an innermost wisdom; it can be a fun and simple way to begin to measure energy fields and is an excellent way of speaking directly with our intuition.

The term “pendulum dowsing” is often used to refer to the search for specific targets, while the term “pendulum divining” is most often used in reference to seeking precise information. Plus… … just to confuse you more (ha-ha) there are also those who study “Cosmopathy” which is study and experimentation using pendulum dowsing, pyramid energy, and cosmic rays. There are also some New Age believers who use pendulum dowsing as a communication tool with their Spiritual Guides.

However, today, we are concentrating on something that is so simple and accurate; once you get started you will be using it all the time – ‘Pendulum Dowsing”.

So what can be used for a Pendulum?

Well anything can be used that you can hang on a string or chain or even the chain itself. I find that I don’t just use one thing; I use one of my gold chain bracelets or necklaces, even my very old gold cross. You will find once you start dowsing, you will get a feel for what works for you. I have even used my bunch of keys on my key ring, when in a Supermarket to ask a question as I had forgotten to wear my gold chain.

You know when I first started dowsing, I thought I had to follow hard and fast rules, but I have since come to the conclusion that seeing Pendulum dowsing is an ancient art of accessing information not available to us through the use of our senses there are no hard and fast rules.

I use pendulum dowsing all the time for –

Answers to questions I am not sure about – (You know the ones – the biggies!)
To find something,
Compatibility with another person,
Suitability for a career,
General health-related questions,
Whether a food or food group is good for me
Where to plant various plants in the garden to achieve maximum success
And much more.

I have also asked my pendulum whether I can ask a question for another person or regarding another person, sometimes it will say ‘Yes” another time it will say “No”

So how do you do this, well I hold what-ever I am using between my thumb and forefinger and have my arm to my elbow close to my body so the pendulum is hanging, then I ask it a yes or no question.

Now I know what ways my pendulum will swing for me – meaning I know when it says ‘Yes” or “No.” If you are new to this, you have to work out what ways the pendulum will swing for those 2 commands. So all you do is ask “Show me Yes” and wait for it to swing in a direction – remember which way, then ask again “Show me No” and watch as it shows you the direction of know.

I find for me the Yes command is a circle around and around, and a no command is swinging back and forth – But as I said before, each one of us is an individual, so you much work out which way the pendulum swings for you.

Pendulum dowsing is much more than asking yes and no questions, but this is the basic dowsing that you need to learn and get really good at first.

Once you get used to the basics and incorporate it into your daily life, you can start to get more in depth if you wish, such as over maps and charts, to find ley lines, or finding lost objects or persons in relation to a map or chart, finding water and minerals just to name a few. If you want to find water, I have been told a diamond pendulum is ideal.

There are a few other fantastic crystals you can use. A rose quartz dowsing pendulum is very good for chakra healing and for dowsing on emotional matters. Bloodstone when dowsing for answers concerning money, financial or legal outcomes. Moonstone dowsing pendulum is very good when you want to connect with higher level beings and for issues dealing with emotions and relationships. Smoky Quartz dowsing pendulum to find answers dealing with depression (cause or treatment) and other emotional issues.
