How to use the pendulum to find out your future
The pendulum is a simple system which you can use to help you discover what the future may hold for you. It's been around for centuries and is a great way to can into psychic energies and can be used for obtaining everything from simple yes-or-no answers to finding lost objects or even people! Many ready-made pendulums are available either online or at a New Age shops, or you can make your own using your own jewelry.Pendulums are made with different types of stones or gems, totem images or weights, usually on a piece of chain approximately six to ten inches long, with a small counterweight on the other end. It’s a good idea to try some out before you pick one to see what type works best for you.
Some people believe you “must” use your non-favored hand (your left hand if you’re right-handed), but there is no right or wrong just use whatever feels comfortable for you. There are several methods typically used for holding the chain, ie. : hold your chosen hand as if you were about to reach out to offer your hand in a handshake in front of you, let your fingers curl in just a bit, then drape the chain over your fingers with the heavier end hanging down approximately three to six inches on the inside of your hand, and the counterweight (lighter end) over the outside of your hand. Place that arm’s elbow on a flat surface to stabilize your hand and give you the most accurate movements.
Place your other hand, palm up, under the weighted end and slowly and lightly touch it down into the palm, barely touching, just enough to steady it. Now you’re ready to begin. Visualise sending a wave of energy down the chain, and ask for universal energies to be made available to you so you can receive spiritual guidance.
Now talk directly to the pendulum and ask it to show you what a “yes” would look like, and slowly and carefully lower your opposite palm down away from the pendulum, allowing it to hang free. Observe how it moves: Is it a circular motion to the right or left? A straight line from front to back or side to side? This will represent a “yes” answer. Now repeat that process for a “no” answer. You can create a pad with “yes,” “no” and “maybe” on it, or use a fan pattern for multiple answers: draw a half circle or fan shape on paper, divide into sections like pie slices and write in what each section’s meaning would be, should the pendulum swing directly over that space on the fan.
It's said that if you take the wedding ring of a pregnant married woman, string it onto a necklace that she wears regularly, and do these steps over her baby bump, the pendulum can tell you what sex the child will be, or even in some cases what month and day the child will arrive!
Experiment and have fun with your pendulum. Once you gain experience you may be very surprised at the accuracy of the answers you begin to receive.
