The pendulum is an intuitive tool that can help you find answers to questions. It can also help you heal and connect with spirit.

To use a pendulum, sit in a comfortable place and hold it between your thumb and forefinger (most people recommend using their dominant hand). Then ask your question.

Psychic Guidance

A pendulum is an excellent tool for gaining psychic guidance. It allows you to ask yes/no questions of your inner self or spirit guides to gain clarity and better understand situations, such as health, relationships, career, or finances.

You can purchase a pendulum at most spiritual or crystal shops, or find one online. Choose a pendulum that feels good in your hand and that appeals to you. When you’re ready to start, sit in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, close your eyes, and begin by taking a few big breaths to ground yourself.

Begin by asking the pendulum a few simple yes/no questions, such as “Yes” if it swings left and right, “No” if it moves up and down, and “Maybe” if it’s circular. Be sure to test the pendulum a few times and note the movements so you can decipher what each movement means. It’s also important to cleanse your pendulum before each use, especially if you’ve used it with other people.

Healing

Pendulums can be used to help heal the body through dowsing, which seeks out invisible energies that can cause blockages in the aura. Using a pendulum in this way promotes whole-being healing by addressing all aspects of life that contribute to health: mind, body and spirit.

You can use any type of pendulum for this purpose, although a crystal with a spiritual meaning may be most beneficial. Choose a pendulum that has meaning to you and feels comfortable in your hand. To use your pendulum in this way, set aside time to meditate and be completely open to receiving information from the Universe.

Ask a question and wait for the pendulum to move in a direction that reflects the answer. You can also use a pendulum to locate something, like a lost object or person. This is a great way to get a quick, accurate response without the need to research or call on someone else for a solution.

Psychic Development

Psychic pendulums can help us fine-tune our intuition and connect to Spirit. If you already have a spiritual practice like tarot, it’s easy to use the pendulum in conjunction with those tools for more detailed guidance.

As you practice using your pendulum, it will become easier to distinguish between ‘yes’ and ‘no’ answers. It’s also best to ask clear and concise questions and make sure you are centered before starting. It can be helpful to use sage or leave your pendulum outside under the full moon, or even hold it in sea salt (if your material or crystal is water and salt-resistant) to clear its energies before you start using it.

You can also try using a pendulum board, or dowsing board, which is simply a flat board with different answers written around the perimeter like “yes,” “no,” and “maybe.” This way you can have a chart to reference when deciding what answers to ask your pendulum.

Reconnecting with the Higher Self

Pendulums are a great way to connect with your spirit guides. Whether you’ve worked with your guides before or this is your first time doing so, it’s a wonderful way to fine-tune your intuition and ask questions.

To begin, find a pendulum that feels right to you. You can buy one at a spiritual or crystal shop, or try using your DIY savvy to make one of your own. It’s important to cleanse the pendulum before starting so that it doesn’t pick up any energies from others.

The next step is programming the pendulum by asking it a series of yes/no questions to establish its answers. For example, you may program it to answer “Yes” to the left and right, “No” up and down, or “Maybe” clockwise and counterclockwise. Once your pendulum has been programmed, you can use it to communicate with your guide(s). You can also use it to dowse for water or ley lines!
