Welcome to How to Work With a Pendulum!
Thank you for being here and choosing the pendulum as a tool you'd like to explore working with. Now, If you have been using a pendulum off and on for a while then this course may be used to redefine and refocus your skills a bit!
My name is Ava, and I have been using divination methods to work with my higher conscious for quite a while now. The pendulum is a special tool that has helped me to build more confidence in making emotional driven decisions when they are attached to life changing outcomes. I have used a pendulum to move from one career to the next, to help me decided when to book a trip and when its best to partner with others for events and simple projects.
Pendulums work with your own energy which we will touch on more in module 2. In short, a pendulum works with your own energy but also within the spirit energy category of divination.
What is divination?
Divination is defined as a practice in the attempt to gain insight into a question or situation by way of using methods or rituals. Some of these methods use tools like cards, crystals and pendulums! I have attached a document that further explains divination and how one can use these methods safely!
This class is broken into three practical modules:
What is a Pendulum?
How do Pendulums Work?
When Should I use my Pendulum?
This course can be finished in under an hour and can be utilized at any time during the next 30 days. Feel free to pace yourself and remember that you have time to do this. Break it into 20 minutes twice a week for learning and practicing.
Commit to using this tool if it feels right for you, and you will be on your way to making confident decisions that saves you time and energy! Are you ready to be amazed? Then let's get started!
What is a pendulum?
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. It works by converting energy into kinetic energy (energy of movement) and then, as the energy climbs up again, it goes back to potential energy (a settling).
A pendulum is a tool that is used to help you connect to your higher self and your ‘Universal source’ by asking questions to help guide, clarify, and raise your awareness. You can use the pendulum to help you with any problem, troubling situation, or something you need more clarity around.
The pendulum can be made from wood, crystal, gemstone, glass, or metal. You can even make one yourself by placing a key onto a string (see the printable handout). Pendulums can be triangular, round, diamond shaped and even shaped like angels. If the pendulum has a point at the end, it will energetically work! It's scientifically proven.
How should you choose a pendulum?
1) Use your intuition; choosing the right pendulum is like choosing the right crystal — Trust your intuition and allow it to determine and discern which pendulum is right for you.
When you pick up a pendulum, how does it feel?
Does the weight of it and length of chain/string feel comfortable?
Is the shape desirable?
2) Knowing your crystals characteristics; If you’re into a particular kind of crystal, for instance, Rainbow Fluorite, because it increases your ability to focus, than choose the pendulum that characteristic as an overall running theme for your questions.
How to Cleanse Your Pendulum
As with crystals, pendulums need cleansing too. My preferred method is with palo santo to detox any other energies (especially denser energies) that may have attached themselves to the pendulum before you acquired it. After a good detoxing next cleanse, the pendulum with sage, I suggest doing this outside in a quiet area. Check out the printable download for additional ways to keep your pendulum cleansed.
Now that your pendulum is cleansed let's move on to how to use your pendulum!
Let's move into the good stuff!! How to use your pendulum.
Now that your pendulum is properly cleansed, we will now cleanse our mind and settle discomfort from our bodies, to allow our spirit to connect to our universal source energy.
Quick review:
In our previous lesson it was mentioned that a pendulum is a tool that is used to help you connect to your higher self and your ‘Universal source’ by asking questions to help guide, clarify, and raise your awareness. However a pendulum can only answer “yes” or “no” questions about YOUR OWN personal situations, so make sure to phrase questions in a way that can allow you to get a clear answer for yourself and not anyone else.
Be a clear channel ; Prepare your mind, body and energy: Take a moment to quiet your mind. Take a few deep cleansing breaths to clear your mind and ease tension from your body. Once you feel at ease you can begin to set your pendulum.
1) Holding the pendulum in your dominant hand with the chain or top link between your thumb and index finger. You may choice to hold your pendulum above any flat unobstructed surface or even over a clear quartz crystal .
2) Hold your hand steady than ask the pendulum to ‘show me a yes answer’ or ‘what does yes look like?' Wait to see if the pendulum swings from right to left or in a circular motion. The pendulum will either swing vertically, horizontally, or in a circular motion.
Take note as to what your YES answer looks like—for instance, if it went up and down vertically when you said ‘show me yes,’ that is how it will respond in an affirmative way to your question.
when you acknowledge the pattern you can then ask the pendulum to 'please stop.'
3) Hold your hand steady than ask the pendulum to ‘show me a no answer’ or ‘what does no look like?' Wait to see if the pendulum swings from right to left or in a circular motion. The pendulum will either swing vertically, horizontally, or in a circular motion.
Take note as to what your NO answer looks like—for instance, if it went up and down vertically when you said ‘show me no,’ that is how it will respond in an affirmative way to your question.
when you acknowledge the pattern you can then ask the pendulum to 'please stop.'
Now Test your pendulum; start with what you already know!
1) To test the pendulums accuracy via its swing, ask questions that you already know the answer to. “For example, ask " Is my birthday (insert the wrong date) February 12th '” see what directional swing your pendulum provides for you. It should be the same directional that showed up for 'no' when you initially set it.
2) Now ask the pendulum the same birthday question. " Is my birthday (insert the correct date) September 14th” see what directional swing your pendulum provides for you for this directional result. It should be the same directional that showed up for 'yes' when you initially set it.
This simple test exercise will help you connect with the pendulum and get to know its directional swings and how it will communicate with you.”
Prep your actual questions:
When looking for clarity or guidance around a situation, have more than one question prepared about the topic to help you gain as much insight as possible and as much guidance.
However, the pendulum might not always work. Sometimes a pendulum will not want to answer or not be open to answering a particular question at that time,”
It's important to note that a pendulum will sometimes vibrate in a shaky out of control like manner based upon your confidence in the pendulum’s capability. This may also show up the pendulum remaining still. Feel free to try again and have confidence in your pendulum’s response to your higher energetic self and your pendulum will not let you down. If really feeling off its best to consult your pendulum after a little time has passed or on another day when you are energetically feeling more confident in its skills.
Remember!!
Using a pendulum is all about being at ease. “Just like when you are going through a meditation, try to simply allow the pendulum to communicate freely with you. The more open you are to receive, the easier you and the pendulum can communicate. And remember, like any other practice, you can enjoy the experience and trust in your ability to connect because you already have your own answers. It’s a tool, that's merely there to help you get closer to your own intuition. Just know, you have your own inner truth, within.
Congratulations! Now that you have it down, it's exciting to know we can also use this tool in a subtle energetic self healing process. lets move into the next lesson to discover how!
Welcome back! Now that you are energetically matched to your pendulum it's exciting to know we can also use this tool in a subtle energetic self-healing process.
We do this by locating areas of emotional or spiritual blockages in our bodies energetic wheelhouse, also commonly known as chakras.
Energy wheels/chakras?
We have 7 energetic forces within our bodies that start at the bottom of the spine and end up at the crown of the head. They regulate all parts of our bodily systems, influencing everything from emotional processing to physical conditions. These 7 wheels (also known as chakras) spin energy from the root upwards and are characterized by the 7 colors of the rainbow.
Each one is responsible for an area of physical health, emotional intelligence and vibrational spirit. When it comes to energy meridians (how they vibrational move) their current states can be measured with a pendulum.
The Pendulum will reflect an overactive or under active state of energy. This is called an energy imbalance.
Once determined, balance can be restored when we work to bring our energy wheels into a balanced frequency which can be done in a myriad of ways from professional talk therapy, to divination rituals crystals) or with self led meditation and intentional deep breathing (vital life force energy).
Energetic wheels move through the meridian path from the tailbone (root) to the top rear area of the head known as the crown.
Root (Red)– Sense of Security/Vitality
Sacral (Orange) – Happiness/Creativity
Solar Plexus (Yellow) – Courage/Confidence
Heart (Green) – Gratitude/Compassion
Throat (Blue) – Peace/Calm
Brow/ Third Eye (Indigo) – Insight/Purpose
Crown (Violet) – Enlightenment/Higher Consciousness
So how do we detect if these areas are within balance or not?
We can do this on our selves by hovering the pendulum over the specific energy wheel on our actual bodies (can be a bit challenging) or by simply asking the pendulum about the area in question ( i.e. Is my root chakra out of balance) and receive the yes, no or scattered movement answer.
If executed properly, and when corrective action is taken to bring the wheels into balance you will have a relaxed mind, soul filled purpose and additional ease within your body.

For those new to divination practices, pendulums consist of a crystal, stone, or metal pendant on a long chain or string. With the right frame of mind and plenty of practice, they can be used to intuit the future, in a process known as "divination dowsing." The term "dowsing" has long been used in spiritual circles to refer to the practice of seeking something (physical or otherwise) with the help of an object. Dowsing can be traced back to ancient China, Egypt, and Rome!
