Using a Pendulum, the basics.

A pendulum can be made or purchased. If you purchase one, make sure you take the time in choosing the correct one. You can use your intuition to choose the proper one, or pick the pendulum up and "feel" it. Hold it by the end and let weighted end hang down. Stay as still as you can. Ask the pendulum out loud or silently in your mind to show you a "yes" and then ask to show a "no". Usually one response swings right to left and the other swings to and from you. You might get a circle too. If the responses are strong, the pendulum most likely will work well for you. Or once you establish a yes and no response, you can ask the pendulum "is it for you and does it want you to purchase it".

If you chose to make one, you might get the best pendulum you ever had. By taking the time to design one and put it together it you will have a much better connection to it. Use something about the width of nickel or quarter. Not to big or small, but enough weight to move. Metal, stone, glass and crystal objects are the best to use. Avoid plastic or wood, although they just might work for you. A ring is great, especially if you wear it a lot. Make a string or thread about 8 to 12 inches long with the object attached to the end. If the string is too short, it will inhibit the swing.

Now it is time to use it. First, connect with your pendulum like you would s friend. Introduce yourself, say hello, ask permission to "use" it for your greater good. This is just about respecting the object and Spirit, who will be moving the pendulum to communicate to you.

Phrasing the question is the most important thing. You must make sure you think about it first and then say or think a question that will have ONLY a yes or no response. Trust me, you will learn very quickly how to initiate a question once you start doubting the answers.

Most get very excited in the first few moments of asking simple questions, because the pendulum starts to swing and they know they are NOT moving it. A fun experiment to do is ask a person to make a statement and ask you if it is true "yes" or false "no". This should be a statement that YOU don't know the answer too. Then find out if the pendulum was correct or not. Sometimes a simple shift in definition of which swing means yes or no.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful tool.
