There is lots of information surrounding the world of pendulums, this is because there is a huge history surrounding crystal pendulums. In times it has been used in various different cultures including Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, Ancient Greeks, European alchemists and now is used all over the world. They have such a big history which the meaning behind them is usually the same in each culture. When you hear of pendulum use in today’s time, you hear that they guide us. Which is true, pendulums are used for us to follow our intuition and ‘get out of our heads’. Often, we aren’t open minded and using a pendulum can help you receive guidance when you may need it.
When it comes to choosing a pendulum its best to go with something that stands out to you. Your pendulum will only be yours and it is best to not have others touch your pendulum. You will create a strong connection with this crystal and it’s important that others energies don’t imbalance or put their negativity onto your stone. Before using your pendulum, each time you should cleanse it. Whether this is you using sage, water, sound, a cleansing spray or selenite – having a freshly cleansed stone will help.
When you’ve chosen and cleansed your stone it is now time to form that connection. To create that energetic connection, you will almost be in a meditative state where you can hold your crystal, bond with it and in your mind picture the energy from yourself intertwining with the crystal. You will almost feel a sense of relief once you feel that connection has been formed.
After this you begin to determine which way is yes and which is no. What might be left for yes right for no for some will not always be the case for you. The way you determine which way yours is, you will give your pendulum questions that you already know the answer to. For example “My Name is…” “I am _ years old”. You will see that your pendulum will either swing in a circle clockwise or anti-clockwise therefor determining what your yes and what your no is. Your pendulum may begin swaying back and forth which may mean that the pendulum is not sure of the answer.
When you use your pendulum it is extremely important that it is used just for you, where you are receiving guidance on things to do with yourself and not others. It is not to be used in malice, to find out things about others that you are not suppose to know etc. The pendulum is a powerful tool to give you guidance and insight, help you make decisions on situations regarding yourself, provide you with clarity and support you. Don’t forget to cleanse and respect your pendulum.
