How To Use A Pendulum

A pendulum is a weighted object attached to the end of a chain, rope, or string that can freely swing in all directions. Pendulums can be used as divination tools, helping one make decisions and also uncover any energy blockages that may exist in the physical body.

Pendulum use has existed over the centuries. The pendulum served as a way to assist in a search to uncover what was unseen. Whether it was water underground or hidden influences in the body. Divination relies on the pendulum’s change in direction or movement to offer answers and guidance. To work with pendulums one must set an intention or ask a question and then determine what the pendulum cues mean. It is best to ask straightforward yes and no questions at first and later one can dive deeper into more complex questions.

A pendulum can help fine-tune intuitions and balance the body’s energy. You may also recommend pendulums to clients who need answers about money, life, health, love, or career. Read on to learn more about pendulums and how your clients can use them for optimal results.

Pendulum Movements

Pendulums move in different directions and can convey a variety of meanings. The pendulum can aid in decision-making. Helping your client choose which direction is better for them. It can also show which Chakras are open and which may be blocked and need clearing.

To work on the Chakras, first guide your clients on how to hold the pendulum using the thumb and the forefinger about 10cm above each chakra and then observe the direction that the pendulum moves. Several directional movements can occur.

Each has its own meaning as follows:

• Clockwise swing: A clockwise pendulum swing means an individual has a well-balanced and open chakra.
• Counter-clockwise swing: Indicates a blocked chakra that needs to be opened or a negative emotion that needs to be released.
• Elliptical swing: This indicates imbalances in energy flow from the left and right sides of the body.
• Erratic Swing: This can mean you are in a period of spiritual upheaval, causing energy to flow erratically.
• No swing: A steady pendulum can occur if you’re holding it in the wrong location or there is a total chakra blockage not allowing for any flow of energy.

To help unblock the chakras your client can swing the pendulum clockwise over the blocked area and focus on positive intentions and the free flow of energy.

Choose Your Pendulum

Your clients need to understand that you don’t choose a pendulum. It chooses you. Guide them to go for a pendulum that feels right and speaks to them. Allow clients to touch and feel different pendulums until they settle for one they connect with.
