Here is some basic info. There should be another recent post(within 1 or 2 posts) with some advise on how to pick a Pendulum. I also know the archive probably does have a few articles scattered throughout on pendulums. We will have to see about adding them to the FAQ section.
Pendulums can be used for: healing, adjusting chakras, gleaning insight and answers to our deepest questions, locate underground water, buried metals, send vibrational healing to humans, animals and the Earth itself and to clear negative energy fields and ley lines in our homes and environment. This is just a tiny portion of what you can use a pendulum for.
CLEANSING A CRYSTAL PENDULUM
Before using your Pendulum for the first time it is important to cleanse it. It is advisable to cleanse your pendulum between uses.
Cleansing is a simple procedure than can take just a few moments. Any of the following will work, I personally like to run mine under flowing water and then let them recharge on a nice dirt bed in the window or outdoors for 24 hours. A full moon night is great for doing this.
Briefly hold the crystal under a natural flowing stream.
Rub it with a soft cloth to which one drop of Eucalyptus essential oil has been added.
Place it on piece of natural Amethyst cluster.
Place in on the Earth, either in your garden or in a pot plant.
Leave it on a windowsill for 24 hours, to enable the crystal to draw in the Energies of the Sun and the Moon
PROGRAMING and TESTING YOUR PENDULUM
Pendulums are a very personal item and should be seen as a sacred tool. It is often best to use the same pendulum for all your work, although in times of need any item can be programmed and used. I do find that a main pendulum gets a lot of work, but do like to have one set for healing only. It is a personal choice to use just one or have a couple for specific uses.
You can ask about anything you like with the pendulum if the question can be answered with a yes or no. But first you have to determine what each pendulum movement means for you.
Take a seated position at a desk or table.
Place your feet flat on the floor resting your elbow on the desk.
Hold the pendulum by the end of chain between your thumb and index finger.
Make sure that your upper body and back are straight, that the energy can flow freely.
Put your other hand flat on the table.
Relax.
Let your breath flow calmly.
Make sure before you start that you will be not be distracted. Do not use the pendulum when you are tired.
Ask your pendulum the questions. What does a yes look like? What does a no look like? The pendulum can move up-down, left-right or in a circle.
Practice this several times a day for at least a week. Once you have determined your yes and no answers do not deviate from it. You can test it – but don’t change it.
When I test my pendulum I ask a question that I already know the answer to, such as am I a woman in this lifetime(yes), then am I a man in this lifetime(no). I repeat this process with similar questions until I am 100% sure that my pendulum is answering accurately.
As time goes by and you become more and more familiar with your pendulum and it becomes more in-tune with your personal energies and vibrations, you will find that your pendulum will pass the test quickly and easily.
When you have determined a clear yes and no, ask your pendulum how it swings for I do not want to answer or I cannot answer that.
You will become very proficient quickly once you have a connection with your pendulum and know how it answers, its messages and symbols.
A correct answer will follow only when the question is asked in the right way.
OTHER WAYS TO USE A PENDULUM
You can place your pendulum directly over an object, question it and test it. You may wish to test your water, medications, groceries, gemstones, flower remedies, to determine what therapies are good for you or even deciding on holiday destinations. You can test the energy of your home, evaluate your sleeping space, check for electromagnetic distress … the list goes on. Explore and see for yourself.
To make working with the pendulum easier, you can work with charts, like the meditation techniques, color, past and future life, homeopathy, aromatherapy oils, tea or chakra chart, just to mention a few. These can be bought, but can also be made to suit your personal needs.
USING CHARTS WITH YOUR PENDULUM
Make a chart in a semi-circular shape.
Divide the semi-circle into segments.
Label each segment with different choices such as career paths, relationships etc.
Allow the Pendulum to swing over the chart, guiding you to the solution or answer that is most suited to you.
You can make charts representing which crystals to work with, which flower essences you may be needing, the areas of a body are causing disease or need healing.
Put people’s names in a chart so that you can be guided to the best person to do activities with or who you resonate the best with for whatever desired reason.
SIMPLE PENDULUM TIPS
When first learning, ask simple questions or queries.
Ask questions that only require a YES or NO.
Keep your questions as specific as possible.
Try to keep your mind clear and your emotions neutral so your answers are correct and not biased.
When asking for numbers or dates, be sure to specify what the answer shall represent. Such as days, weeks, or months.
As your ability increases through skillful questioning, you will gain the answers to more complex questions and problems.
Cleanse your Pendulum whenever you feel the need to, particularly if it has been touched or used by other people.
As with all things time and practice will help immensely. Soon you will find your pendulum to be a very helpful tool.
