I remember the first time I saw one of these was back when I was little on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Haha! I’m not kidding. I was a 90’s kid. I just searched it up and found the episode! I can’t believe it. I’ve been fascinated by it ever since.
I definitely didn’t realize at the time though that this (and all the concepts that go along with it or parallel to it) would stick with me my whole life (and I didn’t even remember that Deepak Chopra was the guest explaining it).
What is a Pendulum?
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. In the realm of spirituality, it is often used as a method of divination, or “dowsing,” believed to provide answers and insights through its movements. From a scientific perspective, the pendulum exemplifies the laws of motion and gravitational pull.
Choosing Your Pendulum
Selecting a pendulum is a personal journey. It can be made from various materials such as crystal, metal, or wood. Each material holds its own vibrational energy and may resonate differently with individuals.
Consider the weight, size, and symmetry of the pendulum, as these factors can influence its responsiveness.
I just went on a trip to Sedona, AZ and there are so many spiritual stores there all full of unique pendulums! They were so cool!
Cleansing Your Pendulum
Before using your pendulum, it’s important to cleanse it of any previous energies. This can be done through methods like exposure to moonlight, burying in salt, or using sage smoke.
Cleansing ensures that your pendulum’s movements are attuned to your energy alone.
How To Use a Pendulum
Programming Your Pendulum
Programming your pendulum involves establishing a clear communication system. Hold the pendulum and ask it to show you a ‘yes’ movement and a ‘no’ movement.
Commonly, a ‘yes’ may be a vertical line, a ‘no’ a horizontal line, and ‘maybe’ a circular motion.
Observe the pendulum’s movement and establish your baseline responses.

Asking Questions
When you ask your pendulum a question, ensure it is clear and concise. Begin with simple yes or no questions to build trust in your pendulum’s guidance.
With practice, you may move on to more complex queries, always allowing the pendulum to come to a complete stop between questions.
Interpreting the Pendulum’s Movements
Interpreting the pendulum’s movements requires an open mind and a state of calm. Trust in the process and know that the pendulum is guided by the subtle energies of your subconscious mind, aligning with the universe’s vibrational frequency.
Scientific Backing
While the use of pendulums in spirituality may not be empirically proven, the science behind their motion is well-documented. The predictable patterns of a pendulum’s swing demonstrate the gravitational forces and harmonic oscillation, making it a tool for both spiritual practice and scientific education.
Conclusion:
Embracing the practice of how to use a pendulum is a step towards deepening your spiritual journey. This ancient tool serves as a conduit to higher wisdom, offering guidance and clarity.
As you attune to the pendulum’s movements, you align with the rhythms of the universe, opening yourself to the answers that lie within. Let the pendulum be your guide to unlocking the mysteries of your intuition and the knowledge of the unseen.
