Sorry for the double post.... I posted this in another thread, but then I decided it was worth having a post of its own rather than be buried somewhere in a thread... So here it goes again:

Well, if you already have a pendulum, fine. If it's a crystal one, even better. If you don't, don't be discouraged! Building a pendulum, even a temporary one, is very easy.
Take a ring, any ring. Could be jewel ring or a ring from a key ring, or a pendant, or a pendant cross, or a stone with a hole in it.... Tie your ring (let's call it ring, whatever is the object you decide to use) to a thin rope, like the one you use to tie up meat prior to cooking. Or you could make a tress of threads to give it some consistency to hang the ring. Do not use nylon, it is too rigid. So, do tie the ring to the rope. Now you have a pendulum.... that's a good beginning, now you must train him!

Now that you have built your pendulum, you must train him just as you would train a puppy!
You must teach your pendulum that:

1) when it swings clockwise, it means yes.

2) When it swings counterclockwise, it means no.

3) When it swings vertically, it's in waiting

4) When it swings horizontally or diagonally, it a maybe/does not know answer.

First, make him swing, lead him on and talk him through it. Then stop it and ask him to say yes (or no). Try it several times, till it gets used to swinging in the right direction.
You can then send him energy or charge him with reiki if you wish, but this is not necessary for it to work properly. Once he has learnt to be user-friendly, just start asking and you'll be amazed at the replies you will get!

To understand what your pendulum is telling you, read these posts in this order:

Chakra behaviour


Chakra spinning patterns - clockwise


Chakra spinning patterns - counterclockwise


Chakra spinning patterns - other directions

Hi
when I was first told about pendulums (not so long ago)
I was told to ask it questions to find out which way ment yes and which was not.  Have I been doing it wrong ?
I've always thought the swinging to the left ment yes and to the right no.


have a great day.[/b]

what kind of question my i ask to the pendulum?
