I LOVE PENDALUMS

Gem,
       Thanks for posting the post on Pendulums.  It was interesting.  I will try the questions you posted and see what I come up with.  I bought a pendulum Kit a few years back.  I have not used it much.

Austin -- yes you can use a pendulum in every situation you choose. In your reference to the use on the chakra this is a great tool to see how the energy is flowing in each of the different chakras, all you have to do is establish you patterns of movement for yes, no , free flowing, is there a block, type of block and so on you develope the questions and have a specific response to each question. Always make sure the question is consice and to the point as this leaves no room for interpertation of a different answer. I have devised a flow chart that I use to test before each use  and as always clear/cleanse your pendulum between each use when working with an individual so there is no possibility of their energies hanging on.
Even though the energy of the chakra is 360 degrees and multi dimensional you are using the pendlulm to check the energie pattern so if the individual lays down it is easier to test each of the chakras without having  yourself getting tired from getting in uncomfortable positions while holding the pendulum.
I usually have them lay down if I am doing them in person and I have devised a holder so that I can use several pendulums at one time as their energies keep each of the pendulums moving this way I can see when the blockages start to break up of if a blockage is beginning to start. It just takes some practice and you can use more than one at a time.
If I do a remote check I usually have a silouette of a human and use this while tapping into their being but it is even better if you have a full length photo  to work with but is not necessary.
So experiment as this is the only way you will become one with  your pendulum.

Every time I hold my pendulum, it turns clockwise, wildly!  Any idea what it means?
