Pendulum power is one of the oldest ways of reading energy. It can be used by anyone, with excellent results. Through the use of a pendulum we can connect with our inner self, our higher wisdom. And just what is a pendulum? A pendulum can be any small weight that is attached to a string or a chain, so that it can swing freely.
Each time that we use our pendulums, we should spend a few minutes holding them in our hands, picturing a white light around them. They are a channel for information, and we want them to be as pure and protected as possible. (Note: Pendulums can also be smudged to clear them of negative energy.)
Hold the string/chain that the pendulum is on lightly between your thumb and first finger. The first thing that you want to do is ask the pendulum how it is going to indicate a yes answer, and how it is going to indicate a no answer. Some people choose to program this into their pendulums, but I prefer to allow my pendulum to make its own choice. I have always found that the direction towards me and away from me indicates a yes, and a side to side direction indicates no. If there is no yes or no answer, I have found that my pendulum will simply continue circling. Each person will have their own way of doing this. Some people may choose to use a piece of paper with Yes, No, and the four directions marked on it.
Once the directions have been established, ask the pendulum if it is willing to talk to you. If the answer is no, thank it and put it away. You can work with it another day. If it says yes, remember to phrase your questions so that they can be answered with a yes or a no, and make them very clear and precise. If your pendulum starts moving erratically at any point in time, ask it if it wishes to continue answering questions. It may simply not want to work any more in that session.
Respect your pendulum, and respect the answers that it gives you. It can be your ally in answering any questions that you have, and can make your day to day life ever so much easier!
