Pendulum Dowsing

The Pendulum is the eastiest method of 'Dowsing' to learn

What must the Pendulum be made of ?

The term itself is a fancy word for any object suspended from a string or chain so that you can swing it freely

It should have some weight to it, but you don't want a pendulum that's either too heavy or too light The weight can be of any material, from a fine Crystal to a Metal washer The length of the chain or string can measure anywhere up to a foot You don't need to make your own pendulum from scratch, a necklace with a stone would do just fine, as long as it will dangle feely and comfortable from your fingers

An old-fashioned pocket watch, which happens to be a traditional induction device for a hypnotist, can also be used for 'Dowsing'

What are Pendulums used for ?

There are many people who make daily decisions with the help of their pendulums - through the responses they receive from asking questions and

How the pendulum swings

'Yes' or 'No'

Using a 'Dowsing Pendulum' is another way for keeping in touch with your inner Guides, your unconscious and the Universal Mind

How to hold the Pendulum

When you have found the right implement and have centered yourself

Take hold of the string with your thumb and first finger (if this is a problem- you can try another position that is more comfortable for you

Let the Pendulum swing freely at a length of anywhere from eight inches to a foot below your thumb and finger

Now hold the Pendulum in front of you

Wwith your thumb and finger at eye level - and at a comfortable distance away from your head, approx eighteen inches

If you have trouble holding your arm steady, you can brace it with you other hand by holding your forearm just below the elbow. You can also rest your Pendulum arm on a support that still allows the Pendulum to swing freely

Showing 'YES'

You'll want to figure out which movement of the Pendulum will indicate a positive answer

Let the Pendulum dangle free for a moment

Keep your two eyes focused on the hangng part as you focus on your 'Third Eye- Brow Chakra'

When you are ready, ask the Pendulum - Show me 'Yes'

The Pendulum will swing in one direction keep your arm as steady as possible and let the Pendulum go to work

It may swing back and forth, sideways or front to back or it may rotate in a circle either clockwise or counterclockwise

Let it swing freely for a few moments until you can clearly see what direction the Pendulum swings to indicate 'Yes'

Showing 'No'

Asking Permission

Now that you have established the direction of 'Yes'

ask the Pendulum to show the direction of 'No'

Again make sure that you are allowing the Pendulum to swing freely, and pay attention to how it changes direction to indicate 'No'

Now ask it to reaffirm 'Yes' again and watch as it changes direction again

You can practice changing between 'Yes' and 'No' several times - so that you will get used to the different ways the Pendulum swings

When you begin to work with your Pendulum, you may find that it swings in very small movements. If that's the case, you may need a little more weight to help build up the momentum

Try different devices until you get one that works best for you

Now ask the Pendulum to 'Stop' and wait until it comes to a standstill

Your Pendulum should slowly stop its swinging

As you practice, this exercise will relax you while you keep yourself focused on your 'Third Eye - Brow Chakra' with your mind - and on the Pendulum with your eyes

You are now ready to ask your Pendulum questions

All questions need to be phrased so that the answer are either a 'Yes' or a 'No'

If the Pendulum cannot answer the question - if the answer is not available, it will come to a standstill

In this case ask your Pendulum for permission to ask questions at 'this time'

If it swings in the direction of 'yes' - you are free to ask questions directed at the 'Source' that controls the Pendulum

If it is 'no' - you may not be totally centered or the subject matter may not be appropriate at this time

What kind of Questions to ask ?

You migh want to start with something simple - e.g

Will the weather be nice today?

Will I hear from my friend today?

Is my name ? Give your name

How old am I ? Give your age

Try something that is relatively unimportant and at the same time can be checked for accuracy

Many Pendulum users ask questions that they would pose to their 'Angels, Guides or the Universal Mind'

They are usually looking for some sort of direction to take when making a decision. These decisions can be as simple as where to eat or as complex as guidance in career moves and relationship situations

Some people involve 'Dowsing' in every decision-making aspects of their lives

It is their way of consulting their 'Belief System'

Who or What Contols the Pendulum ?

Is it you, your unconscious mind, or your Universal Mind ?

Maybe the communication comes from your 'Angels or Spirit Guides'

Or is it purely by random or involuntary body movements related to your questions so that you are giving yourself the answer that you want

You will have to decide for yourself as you continue to experiment with 'Dowsing & Psychic Ability'

It may become a very important Psychic Tool for you

Don't get discouraged if your results aren't earth shattering at first

If you find it enjoyable and positive, you can always pick up a 'Dowsing Tool' when you want to ask for a little more help from 'Source'

CAUTION

Remember that other 'Dowsing' implements are meant as guidance tools for your decision-making process

For major changes, always make sure you have a system of checks and balances so that you are not relying entirely on your 'Dowsing' information

Work with your Guides, your Belief

and

your COMMON SENSE
