How do I use a pendulum to dowse or seek divine guidance?

Using a pendulum is a simple way to access Divine Guidance and to communicate with spirit via your higher self or guides. Make time to practice and experiment until you become comfortable with it and you will be surprised just how accurate they can be.

How to choose your Pendulum
Follow your intuition and choose one that you feel drawn to. Sometimes it is helpful not to look directly at the pendulum but to move your hands over the choices and see if you can feel which one seems ‘right’.  It is often surprising which one calls the strongest and is not always the one that you expected!!

How to cleanse your pendulum.
Before using your pendulum for the first time (and then occasionally thereafter as you feel necessary), you will need to cleanse it.  You will get the best results from your pendulum if it has only your energy to work with. This can be done in several ways and I have listed the ones that I use. The internet will give you more.

a)  Visualize Cleansing Light. Hold your pendulum or crystal in your hands or place them in front of you on a table. Visualise beautiful, cleansing, healing white light or golden light surrounding the stone and washing through it making it fresh and clean. Visualise this light flowing into an empty cauldron or connecting to the earth and therefore taking away any negative or unwanted energy.
b) Moonlight- Place pendulum or crystal on a windowsill during a full moon and let it sit overnight.
c) Smudging- Light a smudge stick (it can be dried white sage and/or other herbs, or cedar) or you can use your favourite incense. Blow out the flame and pass pendulum through the fragrant smoke slowly several times
d) Selenite carries the ability to cleanse other stones. Put your pendulum in a pouch or container with a piece of selenite or on a slab of selenite and leave undisturbed for 24 hours.

Finding out how your pendulum wants to communicate.
You will need the pendulum to show you how it will answer with a ‘yes’, ‘no’ and an ‘I don’t want to answer that’ or ‘ask the question in a different way’. Ask the pendulum to show you ‘yes’ and see which way it swings. Ask the pendulum to show you ‘no’ and see which way it swings. And then ask it to show you ‘I don’t want to answer that’ To test out the trustworthiness of your signals, ask a couple of test questions that you already know the answer to.

It can be strange how the pendulum works for you compared to others. My pendulum ALWAYS swings across the compass points north/south or east/west as its most common action. Yet if my partner uses the same pendulum it ALWAYS swings in a circular motion clockwise or anti-clockwise when answering his questions!! – strange! You will quickly establish your own connection and how it works for you.

How to use your pendulum
Sit in a comfortable and relaxed position and let your breath flow calmly. Hold the pendulum in your dominant hand (between your thumb and index finger), so that it is comfortable, with a loose relaxed arm and wrist so that it dangles by the chain. Always start by asking your pendulum if it is connected to your higher self and then ask it if it is energetically cleared enough to give truthful answers.
If it answers no to either question cleanse your pendulum again.  Then start by asking questions that you know the answer to so that you can check your pendulum is energetically cleansed enough to give you the right answers. Remember when asking questions, they will need to be phrased in a way that only require a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. Be as specific as you can in your phrasing and avoid asking for opinions or using the words “should” or “supposed to” in your questions.

Using the pendulum when you are tired might give you inconsistent answers.

Please remember that using a pendulum should only be for the right reasons as we are being guided by the Universal energy. In my experience my pendulum wont give me an answer to a question if it is not in my highest interests to know that answer!

There are some instances where your pendulum might not work, or you get the wrong responses to questions. This could be for several reasons:
1) You may have wrongly interpreted the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ movements of your pendulum.
2) If you are tried, agitated, emotional or feeling off colour, it may not work properly.
3) If you’re not relaxed enough or feeling negative.
4) You may be too close to electrical equipment or equipment with high frequencies, which could affect your pendulum.
5) You’ve not phrased your questions properly – they need to be simple and specific.
6) You’re not concentrating enough – sometimes you have to wait a while for the answer to come through.

The main thing to remember is to relax, keep trying and have an open mind. The more you practice, the better your pendulum skills will become and you should be able to get good results.
