Pendulums

Pendulums are best well know for locating lost items such as personal
belongings, jewellery, missing keys etc. But they are also used by a wide
variety of people who use them for other reasons. Healing practioners such
as Reiki Masters use pendulums when they conduct reiki practice in person on
a client. It is also well know that scientists also use pendulums.
Pendulums or divining as it also called have been associated with locating
natural minerals such as gold, oil and even water. Most of us know you can
use dowsing rods to find such things, pendulums can also be used to do the
same.
Diving is also another term used for pendulum work. If learnt properly it
has great ability to give accurate information and it is often possible to
predict future events.
Pendulum dowsing or divining depending on which term you prefer to use has
been around a fair while. It is said pendulums have caused a fair share of
controversy throughout history. There is an incident in which a gentleman
demonstrated the use of his pendulum to the U.S Navy, whereby he dowsed a
map and located all the U.S navy's fleet of submarines during the Cold War
in the 1960's.

Uses For Pendulums
Locating - water, gold, minerals, lost objects, missing persons, underground
pipes, problems within the physical body, faulty equipment.
Modern day pendulum dowsers still do the same as above but they now also use
them to test things such as - Allergies, bacteria in food, pesticides and
chemicals, freshness of food and water.
You can use a pendulum for many reasons such as determine compact ability
between people, health of animals and plants, honesty and fairness. Some
users will use their pendulums on choosing their relationships, stocks and
shares and investments. Pendulums have been used by a few famous names
throughout history and one being the renowned physicist Albert Einstein.
Pendulums can be made of different materials. The best length for the
pendulum is six inches. As long as the bobber - or weight on the end is not
too light - nor too heavy. It should weigh less than have an ounce. The best
shape for the weight - or point - is something that comes to a point. You
can make your pendulum or buy one. I have seen people use a needle and
thread as a pendulum.
The most common types of pendulums are:
A crystal suspended on a chain or cord
A chain necklace with some kind of charm suspended at the bottom
A chain with metal pointer at the bottom - these are they types you can buy
in shops, there a various types you can buy. When buying a pendulum go for
the one that draws your attention.
The human body can be used, it is a pendulum that can move from side to side
or backward and forwards. If you can't afford to buy a needle and thread
will serve the same purpose.
Using The Pendulum
Once you have acquired your pendulum you are ready to learn how to use it.
Sit yourself down nice and relaxed, let go of any stress you may be feeling.
You can rest your arm on the table in front of you and let the pendulum
swing freely or you can hold your arm out horizontally again letting the
pendulum swing freely. Find what is comfortable to you most.
You do not have to be a psychic to use a pendulum, it will move itself
either from your thoughts and energy or from someone in the spirit realms,
often this will be your own Spirit Guide. The best thing is to have an open
mind let any thoughts disperse you do not want to influence the pendulum.
The next thing is to determine which way means yes and which way means no.
Stay relaxed and open minded. Keep the pendulum still for a moment then ask
it to show you the direction of yes. At this point it should begin to move
in a direction. When I do this I find left to right means yes. But you must
find out for yourselves. Once it begins to show a direction for yes, ask it
to stop. It should then go very still again. Now as before stay relaxed and
ask it to show you the direction for no. Again it should begin to swing in a
direction. With my own I find it goes backwards and forwards for no.
Sometimes you will find when you ask a question it will not move at all,
this could mean it can not answer or isn't allowed too. Sometimes the
pendulum will go round in circles or arcs, myself I determine this as don't
know due to path already on and our paths alter all the time. But like I
said you must determine your own.

All questions you ask the pendulum must have a yes or no answer. You can
test your pendulum in many ways for instance you can ask it are you a
certain age ( an age you are not) see what answer it give you back. Another
one is ask if it was a sunny day today see if it answers correctly. Whatever
questions you ask please remember they must have yes or no answers to them.
If the pendulum moves faster its usually a sign of strong energy, in other
words a firm yes or no or unsure it needs more information to answer the
question at this time. You can use your pendulum anywhere but please
remember to only ask the question once. If an answer isn't pacific enough
for you try another way of asking the question. You can note down your
questions and answers and make a chart.
I have know people use pendulums over maps to find missing persons. Again
they ask questions which have yes or no answers to them and slowly close in
on an area to where they feel the missing person is.
