Basic Pendulum Dowsing Instructions
As a pendulum dowsing tool, anything will work, from the most basic nut or bolt tied to a string, to the most elegant gem hung from a silken cord. We have used crystals hung from chains but as the chain influences the swing, I wouldn't suggest a chain for beginners. String or cord will help keep your pendulum to swing more true.
The cord should be about 5" to 8" long. Hold the cord at whatever point feels most comfortable. We prefer holding the string or chain at about 4 to 5 inches from where it connects to the weighted end (gemstone, paper clip, small round washer, etc.). We find that a lighter pendulum is easier to use it is much more agile and can more easily change direction for different responses or answers. We are most comfortable holding the cord between thumb and index fingers.
Determine What Is Yes and No for You:
Concentrate. Ask, "What is 'Yes' for me? (then,
do same for 'No'.) For some people, Yes
is a back and forth movement, toward and away from body. For others,
it may be a circle, perhaps clockwise. No can
be a left to right swing, or a counterclockwise circle. You will
find your own pendulum responses with a little patience.
Not to complicate things but another way in which people overcome
a stationary pendulum response is to choose an arbitrarily direction
of swing for the Yes responses and a direction
of swing for the No responses whatever feels
right to you. Then, make the pendulum move in that direction while
telling it that a particular movement is your "Yes"
response and another swing direction is your No
response. Doing this between 10 and 20 practice times should program
your consciousness to get the pendulum responding as you wish.
A warning about this method: if you start getting answers that
you know are false (test by asking a question to which you know
the answer), then, it is perhaps time to go back to the first
method of asking the pendulum to show you what Yes
and No are for you.
Some people get absolutely no response when they first try asking
for their personal Yes and No
responses. There are several ways to overcome this: You can start
the pendulum swinging in a ready position so that it is easier
for it to respond to your request. A common ready position is
to swing it diagonally, from close to your left front side towards
away from your right front side. You can have a heart to heart
talk with your pendulum (actually your are talking with your Higher
Self). You simply tell your HS that it is very important that
you communicate for the purpose of selecting your vibrational
essences and that you intend to use your pendulum to do this communication.
Intent in dowsing is very important and must be clearly felt
and perhaps even stated. Then try again asking for the Yes
and No responses.
There is also the possibility that additional hydration may help your intuitive questioning. Try consuming a glass of water and retrying your dowsing studies.
