Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Pendulum
List of questions
sea salt
water

Step1

Select a pendulum. Selecting the right pendulum is easy because they usually choose their owners. Hold one in your hand. If you like how it looks and it feels right, it was meant for you. If not, keep going until you find the right one.

Step2

Cleanse your pendulum. Cleansing gets rid of other people's energies and purifies your pendulum. You can do this by soaking it in a mixture of sea salt and water overnight.

Step3

Charge your pendulum. To charge it, either set it out in the sunlight all day or the moonlight overnight.

Step4

Learn the language of your pendulum. Hold your pendulum at the top of the chain between your index finger and middle finger allowing the crystal to hang free. Ask it to show you what NO looks like. It will start to swing in a specific direction. Ask it what YES looks like, and it will swing in a different direction. Then ask it what MAYBE or NEUTRAL looks like and see how it swings. This is the language of your pendulum.

Step5

Prepare a list of questions. Make sure you phrase your questions so they can be answered yes, no or maybe.

Step6

Set your intention. Always start a question session with a short statement that goes something like: It is my intention to get honest answers that will benefit the good of everyone.

Step7

Start asking questions. Make sure to completely stop your pendulum between questions.

Tips & Warnings

Only accept answers that your instincts tell you are true and accurate.
Keep a pen and your list of questions close to you to write down the answers.
Cleanse and recharge your pendulum after each session.

on 3/31/2008 Nice, clear and concise instructions Debi :-) I assume that once I have bought/sourced my pendulum I start from Step 3 or 4 each time I want to use it again?
