When you need to grow or to have some kind of healing in your spiritual man, a pendulum can help you. You can use a crystal or some other kind of object at the end of a string or a chain. You can dangle this thing form your fingers and it will begin to move. Even when you hold the string still, once it picks up on the energy, the pendulum will move in a forward or back, side to side or even circular motion. The pendulum will be able to use your energy source to give you answers and guidance that is needed.

When you have energy and you tune into it, the pendulum can pick up on this energy. As the pendulum swings, you can find out what the pendulum is trying to tell you.
Even in Ancient Egyptian and Roman times, pendulums were noted. It was recorded in as early as the 17th century. Most of the time in the past, pendulums were used by witches, scientists, or mathematicians.
Using a Pendulum
There is energy all around you and when you have energy and you ask a question, the energy wants to answer that. If you are using a pendulum to read your energy, then the pendulum will move even when you are holding the string or chain still. As it moves, it will give you information that you need.
Always rest your elbow and hand on a table so that you are sure that you aren’t moving the pendulum and it is moving based on the energies.

Picking the Right Pendulum
You can’t go wrong when you choose a pendulum, and you should always just listen to your intuition. If you feel drawn to a certain pendulum, then that is the one that is already connected to your energy. When you go into a shop to buy one, don’t get overwhelmed by the choices. Hold the crystals, look at them and see which ones attract you. You will know this, and it is the same as a pendulum.
Find the one that chooses you. Pick the one that works the best for what you need such as an amethyst, clear quartz or more.
Making Your Own Pendulum
You can create your own pendulum. All you have to do is to make sure that your energy is clear and that you are trying to reach your higher self when making a pendulum.
Start with a piece of chain or string and put a paperclip or a washer at the bottom of it. This will give it weight. That is what a pendulum is. Instead of using a washer or a paperclip though, you can choose to buy a charm, some wood, beads or even crystals to hang from your string or chain. This will depend on what kind of energy you want your pendulum to have.
How to Use a Pendulum
You need to start by connecting with your pendulum. You can do this first by cleansing it. This can be done in the sunlight or even in the moonlight. Some crystals can be cleansed in water. Read about your crystal to make sure you are cleansing it correctly.
Set your intentions before you even get started. If you want it to give you a yes or no answer, make sure that you tell the pendulum what you want. Start by asking it to show you what yes movements look like and then no movements. You can ask any questions that you want. Sometimes you might want to leave a space for a maybe or for send more information. This is up to you.
Once you are ready to use your pendulum start by asking a yes or no question that you know the answer to. Such as, “Is my name Barb?” The pendulum will move in the direction, and you will know if the answer is yes or no and which direction that means. Ask questions that you know are yes and then questions that you know are no so that you can understand how the pendulum moves. This will give you trust towards your tool.
