How does a pendulum work?

Among many other metaphysical tools, the pendulum is one of them and has been used for as long as mankind itself. The interesting thing is you would find the same versions of pendulum across different cultures around the world.

Scientists have already discovered that even plants respond to human emotions. There is a theory that every biological life is connected to what is known as a morphic field, in this field, one can connect to and access a wealth of information. And when you think about it, information is just a set of vibrations organized and preserved somewhere.

Our subconscious minds have unlimited potential, and it is obvious that our logical mind narrows down the amount of information we receive from our external world so that we can process what we need at that time. When you are thinking about something, you are in a way tuning into the frequencies of that item, and then your physical body picks up the frequency of that which you tune yourself into. But you can’t notice these changes in your body, and that’s when a pendulum comes in.

A pendulum is only a tool that magnifies the settled movements and vibrations that we are not able to detect. Our physical bodies in general act as receivers. There are many stories of mothers who knew their children were in danger without being notified by anyone. Because their bodies receive that wave of emotions.

So whenever you ask your pendulum a question, you are tuning into the frequencies of either that event or the specific item of focus, if its frequencies are a negative against your question, the pendulum would show it as a No or Yes. Sometimes you may find a pendulum shake, this could be because it’s picking up your heartbeats.

How to use a pendulum?

If you have never used a pendulum before, don’t be Intimidated, because it is very easy for anyone who doesn’t know how to use a pendulum to start using it right away.

• What you do is you get your pendulum; hold it with the tips of your two fingers, index, and thumb, and let it swing freely. If you are practicing it for a long time, it is ok to let your elbow rest on a table or the sides of your chair or anything else for that matter.
• Make sure your hand is firm so that you know you are not making a conscious hand movement to make the pendulum move, however, you should also let your hand loose, because these movements are created by your subconscious mind, and sometimes they will move your hand to make a pendulum move.
• Knowing NO and YES, the simplest way is to imagine a kid who had a mouthful of something, you ask this kid a question, The kid would move his head up and down if it is YES and sideways if it is NO. This is how the pendulum works. However, for other people, the pendulum might swing clockwise for YES and Anticlockwise for NO. Alternatively, you can either ask the pendulum to tell you which is YES and NO or tell it which should be a yes and no.
• Asking your question, when you ask questions there is a basic rule of the thumb, that there is NO, and YES, however, there are other answers that are out of the scope of NO and Simply YES. But again, this should be clear as you practice using it more and more.

How to Program your Pendulum.

There are some cases where you need to be sure what your pendulum is saying, so what you need to do is program your pendulum to answer questions based on your preference. And this is simply, you simply ask it to swing in certain directions for different answers.

You just hold your pendulum and ask it to swing to and fro for yes and sideways for no, then you can go further to ask it to swing forward slash for I don’t know, and backslash for not ready.

Remember when you use a pendulum you are actually communicating with your subconscious mind. What I find is the calmer you are the more accurate answers you will get.

Different Ways on How to Use A Pendulum

So now you are up to speed on how to use a pendulum, you should move forward and have fun with different ways to use a pendulum.

1. How to Ask a Pendulum a No or Yes Answers.

This is the most common and starting point when it comes to how to use a pendulum, and a list of questions to ask the pendulum. As I have explained before, you simply hold your pendulum suspended in the air, and ask your simple questions. Most traditional pendulum users begin with asking three basic questions to ask dowsing pendulum:

• Can you answer this question?
• Am I ready for the answer?
• Am I allowed to receive the answer?

Practicing these questions is important because you may want to know if knowing the answers to your questions may affect you negatively, and sometimes there is ambiguity in answering your questions and it is important to proceed with an understanding of what you are getting yourself into. It is also recommended not to use a pendulum when you are under stress and not use it for sensitive matters. Simply because the state of your emotions and mental state affects the effectiveness of the answers.

2. How to Use a Pendulum to Find missing items.

I remember the first time I knew about the pendulum, it was a TV show where this person was telling people to pick up a card and hide it among many other cards, then he would use his pendulum to find the exact card. Later I came to learn the exact knowledge. To find a missing item is very simple;

• Ask the pendulum to show you where is the location of your missing item
• A pendulum will swing in the direction of where your item is
• Follow that direction
• Whenever you are on crossroads or hallways between doors you will ask it again.
• For the case, if heights, you can ask it two swing clockwise for up, and anticlockwise for down

Most pendulums would swing clockwise the moment you find your missing item, or you can program it to stop.
One important thing to note here is, sometimes you may not find the item right away, but later the memory will resurface in your mind, or you may have a feeling of looking a certain place and suddenly find your missing items, Like I said before you are actually connecting with your subconscious mind and beyond, the pendulum just magnifies the signal. So you should also be open to the ideas that pop into your mind and not limit yourself to the pendulum itself.

3. How to Use a Pendulum to Detect Plumbing Leakage

It would be a creepy experience when you call a plumber to repair a leakage in your house, finding him trying to detect the problem with a pendulum, this is not a common thing because they already have different methods for problems like these. But you might want to do this for a variety of reasons, first being able to acknowledge the potential power of your subconscious mind and maybe you just want to have fun. The process is simple. Let’s say you have a leakage in your house or apartment and you want to locate exactly where inside the wall is leaking.

• Get your pendulum, and stand in the room where there is leakage.
• Ask your pendulum; Which wall in this room is the source of leakage.
• Watch which direction your pendulum is swinging then face that wall.
• Ask it to locate you exactly where there is a pipe behind the wall.
• Follow the pendulum, then that’s it.

4. Using Pendulum for Electrical Malfunctions.

Usually, once you get a hang of using your pendulum the possibilities are endless. I remember a couple of weeks ago, I had an electrical problem in my house. Every now and then the breaker would go off leaving us without power. It took an electrician a couple of days to find the cause of that problem.

But in situations like these, you can narrow down your problems by using a pendulum. The steps are the same, you would ask which room there is a cause of an electrical problem, then you narrow it down to which plug or switch is causing the problem. This would save you lots of money and time. Even by the time an electrician visits your house, you would have already located the cause of the problem.

5. Using Pendulum to Diagnose Vehicle Parts.

It is interesting to know that even the things we have labeled as inorganic material, can sometimes surprise us as much. The key concept is the same if your vehicle is being moody, and not starting properly while you are low on cash, you can use a pendulum to locate the part that is the cause of the problem, What you do is:

Because you don’t know the source of the problem, it is wise to first divide your vehicle into different sections, such as interior, exterior, then you subdivide it to front, mid and back, and then upper and lower so you would ask the pendulum;

Is the interior the cause of my vehicle’s problem? If the answer is no then you know it is an exterior problem, but you ask again is it exterior to verify, if for some reason it says no, you might want to ask again first and if not then ask if the cause of my vehicle not working within what I have listed down? Which will most likely be the case?

After you have the answer for the exact location, then you have narrowed it down to almost the last bit, if it is in the engine you can narrow it down even further by asking if it is in the front. Middle or back,

After this step, you can bring your pendulum where it says there is the problem and start locating which item is malfunctioning.

Then you might be lucky to find out, maybe it is something that you can replace by yourself without an expensive mechanic.

6. How to Use a Pendulum to Locate Underground Water.

It is common for water dowsers to use dowsing rods, but most people don’t know you could use a pendulum as effectively as a dowsing rod.

For things that are underground you can also narrow it down by simply asking, is it 1000 meters deep? Is it more than 1000 meters deep? Questions like this help you to know if it is worth digging down or not.
