A Word on 'Pendulums'

Pendulums can be made of different materials, some people using a simple necklace with a crystal or charm at the end. Be sure the bob or bobber - or weight on the end - is not too light or too heavy. It should weigh less than half an ounce. The best shape for the weight - or point - is something that comes to a point. The best length for the pendulum is six inches. You can make your pendulum or buy one.

Pendulums are a simple way to communicate with the other side.The most common types of pendulums are:

- a crystal tied with wire then suspended on a chain or cord - a chain necklace with some kind of charm suspended at the bottom- a chain with metal pointer at the bottom - these are usual store bought

With the other hand - touch the point/bobber to steady its motion. Keep your eyes on the point. Now address the pendulum and say, "Show me 'Yes'." It will soon swing in one direction, which could be side to side, back and forth, or circles. Now say, "Show me No." It should swing in the opposite direction. Be certain the pendulum is not being guided by the movement of your hand or fingers. Once you have determined the pattern for Yes and No - you are ready to begin ... read more ...
