Your pendulum can be anything that feels right to you: a crystal pendant, wood or metal ornaments, a seashell, an item with sentimental value, or even an acorn on a string. The key is that it must be balanced, so it can swing freely. Before and after each session, you may want to purify your pendulum, perhaps by using salt water or burning sage or incense. Focus on becoming still and choose who you would like to answer your questions: your higher self or your spirit guides or guardian angels. By asking questions you already know the answers to and watching the corresponding movements, you can learn what yes and no look like. Your pendulum may move forward and back for yes and side to side for no, or perhaps a variety of circular motions will be your indicators. For some people, movement comes easily, as they are more in tune with working with energy, but do not give up if you do not get movement right away. Determining a neutral state, which may be stillness or another distinct motion, can help avoid confusion as well. Once you are familiar with your pendulum, you can use it to check the energy of a room or over your chakras to see if they are blocked.
When we make a practice of listening to our spiritual guidance, it becomes more accessible to us in general. The use of a tool like the pendulum can help us gain mastery of this communication, allowing us to transform our lives into playgrounds for manifesting our gifts and dreams.(Daily OM)
