Basic pendulum magic techniques involve using a pendulum, which is a weighted object suspended from a string or chain, to connect with your intuition and access spiritual guidance. The first step is to choose a pendulum that resonates with you. It could be made of different materials, such as crystal, metal, or wood. Then, hold the pendulum by the string or chain, allowing it to hang freely. To establish a connection, hold the pendulum in your dominant hand and focus on your intention or question. You can ask a yes or no question or seek guidance on a specific topic.
Now you can ask the pendulum questions that can be answered with these four movements. Start by asking the pendulum questions that you already know the answers to. You might ask it if you are male. Ask if you live at your current address.
It s a tool that you can use to connect to your higher self and source through asking questions that help guide, clarify, and raise your awareness, says reiki healer Kelsey Patel. Cleanse the pendulum with sage, outside under a full moon, soaking it in sea salt if the material or crystal is water- and salt-friendly, or simply by holding it under cold tap water, suggests Patel.
You can ask a yes or no question or seek guidance on a specific topic. Clear your mind and let your intuition guide you. To get a baseline, ask the pendulum a series of simple, known questions that have definite yes or no answers.
Basic pendulum magic techniques
A pendulum is a small weight attached to a length of chain or thread. When someone holds it by the thread and asks a question, the weight moves and provides the answer. In the last few days I have witnessed two good examples of this.
Pendulum Experiences
Fluffball, a pet rabbit, got out of her cage and disappeared. The owners searched the immediate neighborhood with no success and were starting to panic. I suggested that they use a pendulum. They were skeptical, but they had reached the stage where they were prepared to try anything. I showed the lady of the house how to hold the pendulum. She held a pen and moved this over a map of the immediate area while holding the pendulum in her other hand. The pendulum began swinging strongly to and fro when her pen indicated a street almost a mile away.
"She can't have gone that far," the woman said. However, the family immediately went to the street that the pendulum indicated and found Fluffball contentedly sampling her way through someone?s front garden.
The second experience involved friends who were at a dinner we attended. The wife is allergic to MSG (mono-sodium glutamate), and has been hospitalized on a number of occasions after accidentally eating it. Consequently, when she is away from home, she always uses a pendulum to test her food before eating it.
I was curious to see what she would do on this occasion, as it was a buffet meal served to about two hundred guests. She selected the food that appealed to her and returned to her seat. She then took her pendulum out and held it under the table while holding her free hand over the plate of food. She silently asked the pendulum if the food she had selected was free of MSG. When the pendulum gave a positive answer, she ate it. If the pendulum had given a negative response, she would have gone through the items she selected, one by one, to determine the foods she could not eat and would then have gone back to the buffet line.
Too Simple?
Finding a lost pet and determining whether or not food is safe to eat are two excellent examples of what the humble pendulum can do. Although most people know of the pendulum, few people use it regularly to enhance their lives. Part of the reason for this is that it seems too easy. I have met countless people who used a pendulum once or twice and then put it away to experiment with things that appeared more exciting. Many years ago, I met a man who had used a pendulum to help him decide on a suitable career. Although he had followed the pendulum's advice, and was happy with his choice of career, he had never used it again. When I asked him why, he muttered that the pendulum seemed too simple, and he would probably have chosen the same field anyway.
Of course, even though a pendulum is simple to use, it still takes practice to become good at it. You can buy pendulums at any new age store, but any weight suspended on cord or chain will act as an impromptu pendulum. Choose something that weighs at least three ounces and attach it to four to six inches of cord.
Hold the cord between the thumb and first finger of your right hand, if you are right-handed. (Use your left, if you are left-handed.) Rest your elbow on a table and allow the pendulum to swing freely an inch or so above the surface of the table. Stop the movement of the weight with your free hand. Then ask the pendulum to move in a direction that means "yes." The pendulum may start moving immediately, or it might take a while to indicate a positive response. When it starts, it will either move from side to side, backwards and forwards, or rotate in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
Yes or No
Once the pendulum has indicated "yes," stop it again, and then ask it to indicate "no." Follow this by asking for "I don't know" and "I don't want to answer" responses.
Now you can ask the pendulum questions that can be answered with these four movements. Start by asking the pendulum questions that you already know the answers to. You might ask it if you are male. Ask if you live at your current address.
After checking your pendulum in this way, you can proceed to ask questions to which you do not know the answers. Start by asking questions that you can check later on. The correct answers that your pendulum provides will give you confidence as you continue to experiment.
There is no limit to the types of questions you can ask once you become proficient with the pendulum.
A pendulum is a triangular-looking gemstone that hangs on the end of a string or chain. "It's a tool that you can use to connect to your higher self and 'source' through asking questions that help guide, clarify, and raise your awareness," says reiki healer Kelsey Patel. "The pendulum itself is simply a small object attached to the end of a string and can be made out of wood, crystal, gemstone, glass, or metal." You use it by asking questions and interpreting its movements.
Observe the movement of the pendulum for a few minutes to see how it responds to yes and no questions. This will help you establish the direction or pattern that indicates a positive or negative response. Once you have established the baseline, you can begin asking more complex questions. Hold the pendulum still and ask it to show you a yes or no response. Observe the movement of the pendulum. It may swing back and forth, side to side, or in a circular motion. Each person's pendulum may have a unique pattern or movement. Remember to remain open-minded and trust your intuition. The pendulum is simply a tool to help you access information from your higher self or spiritual guides. If you notice that the pendulum starts moving inconsistently or you feel overwhelmed, take a break and come back to it later. It is also important to cleanse and energize your pendulum regularly. You can do this by holding it under running water, placing it in the sunlight or moonlight, or using other cleansing methods such as smudging with sage or using sound vibrations. Overall, basic pendulum magic techniques involve using a pendulum to connect with your intuition and access spiritual guidance. By establishing a connection, asking clear and focused questions, and observing the movement of the pendulum, you can tap into your inner wisdom and receive guidance and insight..
Reviews for "Discovering Hidden Energies: Pendulum Magic for Space Clearing"
1. John - 1/5
I found "Basic Pendulum Magic Techniques" to be a waste of time and money. The book promised to provide practical techniques for using pendulums, but it fell short on delivering any useful information. The author seemed more interested in sharing personal anecdotes and theories rather than providing step-by-step instructions on how to actually use a pendulum. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone serious about learning pendulum magic.

While "Basic Pendulum Magic Techniques" had some interesting ideas, I found it to be poorly organized and lacking in depth. The book seemed to jump from topic to topic without a clear structure, making it difficult to follow along. Additionally, the techniques provided were very basic and lacked practical application. I was hoping for more advanced techniques and tips, but this book only scratched the surface of pendulum magic. I would recommend looking for a more comprehensive and well-structured guide if you're serious about learning this craft.
3. Michael - 2/5
I had high hopes for "Basic Pendulum Magic Techniques," but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The book lacked clear explanations and instructions, leaving me feeling confused and unsure about how to effectively use a pendulum. The author seemed to assume prior knowledge on the reader's part, which made it difficult for a beginner like me to grasp the concepts presented. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of guidance and would not recommend this book to those looking for practical advice on pendulum magic.
4. Lisa - 1/5
"Basic Pendulum Magic Techniques" left a lot to be desired. The book felt more like a sales pitch for the author's other works rather than a comprehensive guide on the subject. The information provided was vague and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to apply the techniques in my own practice. I was hoping for clear instructions and practical exercises, but instead, I found myself skimming through pages of irrelevant information. Save your money and look for a more informative book on pendulum magic.
