First of all, what is the pendulum?
It is a support, often a chain at the end of which is a stone, a metal ball, wood ... The pendulum creates a link between the conscious and the unconscious, which is why it is often used when we have questions to ask, it is there to help us, guide us, support us. This tool has been used since antiquity to capture and interpret information.
How to choose the Pendulum that suits us?
It is important to know that we choose the pendulum and it also chooses us. It is good to always let your intuition speak. When you feel attracted to a Stone because you find it beautiful, it usually means that you unconsciously need it. Sometimes the pendulum manifests itself directly to you by starting to oscillate when you approach it. You may buy one and use it for years after. When the time is right for you, you will feel it.
The most important thing is to always listen to your intuition :)
How to use the Pendulum?
Using the Pendulum is simple, but there are a few basics to know! You first need to know how it can answer you, yes, no or maybe.
* To do this, place the pendulum above the apple of your hand in order to feel the fluid between your energy and his.
*Then, out loud or in your head ask him to tell you a YES, you can give a little push to make him move and he will then start to turn on his own, generally clockwise for the YES.
*Then ask him to tell you NO, usually he moves vertically or counterclockwise. Again yours may be different!
*Finally, ask him to tell you Maybe, which he generally hesitates to say very little.
Nothing is fixed, your Pendulum may turn differently.
Once this process is done, it is important to know that before each use it is necessary to ask your Pendulum if it agrees to work with you at that time.
Your questions should be simple and open-ended so that the answer is clear.
The same goes if you want to lend it to someone, make sure they agree to that.
Remember to clean your pendulum (with cold water), and recharge it (with the Moon, the Sun, the Crystal Bowl , the Tibetan bowl or in an Amethyst Geode )
I invite you to look at our articles on the purification & recharging of Minerals HERE
Now you can use your pendulum with ease!
