Easy to follow introductions on how to use Pendulums
So have you heard about these mystical tools called a pendulums but do not know how to work with them?
Well you have come to the right place if you're curious to learn more? Below we look at the secrets of how to use a pendulum, what it does, what you should avoid, and the best practices to make the most of this magical tool.

First off what is a Pendulum?
So let us start to unravel the mystery of what a pendulum actually is. A simple pendulum is a tool consisting of a weighted object attached to a string or chain. Yes that sounds basic, but don't be fooled as they hold some serious power! Crystal Pendulums are the best ones in my view as you are also combining the energies of the crystals to the mix.
How Does a Pendulum actually Work?
Now, onto the fun part - how does this pendulum work? Well, it's all about energy. When you are holding your pendulum and asking it a question, the energy from your thoughts and intent is thought to influence the way the pendulum swings. It's a bit like having a conversation with your spirit guides but instead of using words, you're using & reading the movements the pendulum gives you as simple answers to questions.

How do I start working with it?
Firstly I suggest you find a peaceful quiet space and focus on your breathing. Doing 2 or 3 deep breaths in and out. As you breath in imagine, visualize or pretend the air you are breathing in is purifying and cleansing your mind body & spirit and on the out breaths you are letting go of any stress, anxiety's & negativity.
And Then What - how do I get going?
Personally I like to pick the pendulum up cupping it in both my hands for a minute or two to connect with the pendulum, allowing my energies and the crystal energies to combine and work as one.
The you pick up the pendulum in your dominant hand holding it by the chain and pop your other hand below the crystal point palm side up and simply say:
Pendulum Please can you show me a YES - at this point for most people it will slowly start to move either around clockwise or back and forth, there is no wrong way for it to move at this point. If it is moving a bit but you are not sure repeat pendulum please can you show me a YES and it will exaggerate the movement. Once you are happy you know the direction say Thank You Pendulum Please Stop.
Now you know the way the Pendulum moves for a yes answer - onto the next part saying:
Pendulum Please can you show me a NO - at this point again the pendulum will slowly start to move but in a different direction. Again you can repeat the Pendulum can you show me a NO to exaggerate the movements. Again once you are happy you know the direction say Thank You Pendulum Please Stop.
Now you know the way the pendulum moves for a no answer - onto the final bit saying:
Pendulum Please can you show me a MAYBE - again the pendulum will slowly start to move in yet again a different direction. Again if you are not sure repeat Pendulum please can you show me a MAYBE and it will exaggerate the movement. And once again when you are happy you know the direction say Thank You Pendulum Please Stop.
You now have the basics to start working with a pendulum.
So let the fun begin, always remember to only ask questions where the answer is a YES / No or MAYBE, as the pendulum can only give these answers. If the pendulum gives you a maybe then do not repeat the question as it could well be now is not the right time for you to know this particular questions answer.
Practice, Practice & more Practice is the key to becoming more confident working with your pendulum, and remember to keep the questions simple especially to start off with.

Practicing working with your Pendulum
Another fun way to work with it is to ask a friend to hide something of yours (say your phone) and then go into each room asking pendulum is my phone in this room, if it is not then move onto the next room and so on. Once you work out the room, You refine the questions to pin point exactly where it is. This is a really useful exercise for when you actually do loose something too.
Best Practices when using your pendulum
1: Always start by finding a quiet space to link in and prepare to help clear your mind.
2: Be sure to focus on your question and make sure it is a simple straight forward yes or no question
3: Learn to trust your intuition.
4: When you finish always thank the Pendulum for its work and wrap it up in a pouch or something to keep it safe until next time.
5: Don't ask pendulum the same question repeatedly - if it does not give you the answer you were hoping for because pendulums do also love to play games with you.
6: Don't share you pendulum with other people particularly to start with, keep it for your own use & nurture that connection. The more you work with it the stronger your connection with the pendulum will become.
7: Remember cleanse your Pendulum regularly. You can do this by placing it in sunlight for a hour or so, or holding it beneath running tap water - visualizing, imagining, pretending its clearing out any negatively the pendulum may have collected. I will be sharing a blog on Charging & Cleansing Crystals soon.
That's if folks you are good to go now!
So, there you have it - the secrets of how to start working with your pendulum. So you can go forth and let your pendulum guide you on your new mystical journey. Have fun and enjoy your new found skill.
