PENDULUM

the pendulum

by Tara Ciampa / Editor

..Anna Rasmussen was a Swedish medium who was able to affect pendulums by psychokineses. During 1922 – 1928 Professor Winther of Copenhagen studied her intensively. The professor constructed a sealed glass case inside where he hung a variety of pendulums. They were of different weights and were swinging from silk threads. The professor would choose a pendulum and Anna was able to make that particular pendulum swing just by concentrating. Anna claimed that it was her spirit guide, Dr. Lasaruz whom brought about the movements.

..Psychokineses defined: pl. psy•cho•ki•ne•ses (-sez) Abbr. PK. The production or control of motion, especially in inanimate and remote objects, purportedly by the exercise of psychic powers. The power to move something by "thinking about it" without the application of physical force [syn: telekinesis].

..A PENDULUM is a tool for divination when you have a burning question or perhaps you are at a crossroad and must make an important life decision. When faced with a time of indecision divination can help us to determine the course in which would benefit us most. Divination will help you to tap into our intuition and find out what you really want and what will really help you to achieve the best outcome. The logical mind sometimes needs bypassed and we need to get in touch with our intuitive side. A pendulum is a convenient tool for divination as it can be carried around in your pocket or worn as a necklace.

..You may want to choose a pendulum that you like the look of and feel comfortable with. The pendulum is not a magical implement but only the tool that allows you to unlock the secrets of your own higher self. However, the material that a pendulum is made from can increase particular energies that contribute to the power of your divination. Pendulums made from semi-precious stones or crystals bring to your divination the special quality that the stone or crystal provides. These special qualities can assist you by increasing the positive energy during the divination process. Negative thoughts and for attaining inner calm and security. It is motivating and helps you to achieve clarity of thought and resolution of problems.

..Because we often turn to divination when we have a great desire to find the answer to a question, it is important to ensure we are in the right state of mind for undertaking divination. A genuine desire to find an answer is an important factor to successful divination. However, it is also important that you do not approach finding the answer in a desperate way with too much emotional attachment to the answer. You must approach divination in a relaxed manner, remaining a little detached from the answer. If you are too anxious and put too much pressure on yourself, the process will be ineffective.

..For the best results, especially if you are using divination as a way to answer a question that causes you stress, it is advisable to undertake divination directly after meditating. Alternatively, here is a relaxation technique that will assist in reducing any anxiety directly before undertaking divination:

..Light an aromatic candle or incense in a relaxing scent (examples: amber, lavender, geranium, jasmine, frankincense) in a room where you will not be disturbed. You could put on some relaxing music if you find that calming. Sit or lie somewhere comfortable. Once you are settled, imagine a light entering your body from your feet and gradually filling your body. As the light travels up your legs and through your body then visualize the light entering every sinew, muscle, tendon and vein – every cell. Imagine the light to be soothing, calming and relaxing you as it pours into every aspect of your body. If you have an ache or a pain, concentrate the light on that point, making it bright and imagining the light healing the pain. As the light continues to make its way up through your body, it takes with it any pain, discomfort or stress until finally pouring out through the top of your head, expelling anything that is making you ill at ease.

By relaxing prior to divination, you will reduce your internal ‘noise’ and will be better able to focus your mind on the question. A more relaxed state will help you to remain calm and will assist you to get in contact with your intuition.

..ASKING QUESTIONS: Remember the pendulum divination can only provide a -Yes- or -No- answer. Be careful how you ask the question. Sometimes it is better to ask a series of simple questions that can be answered with either yes or no than to ask a complicated question where answering yes or no does not really give you a meaningful answer. Practicing with a few simple questions first will help you to determine how to best form a question to find an answer to the important issues. Sometimes the timing for the question is not right. If this is the case, you will not receive an answer. You can, however, ask the pendulum whether the timing is right.

..HOW TO USE YOUR PENDELUM: Determining the -Yes- and -No- Signals. Find somewhere comfortable to sit. Hold the cord or chain of the pendulum between the thumb and forefinger, leaving 2 to 4 inches of cord between the pendulum and your fingers. Ensure that your fingers are pointing down so that the pendulum can swing freely. Hold the pendulum in front of you, so that it has plenty of room to swing above your knees. To start the divination process, swing the pendulum in a motion away from you and towards you. This is the neutral action and is a way of saying, “I am ready to start divining”.

..Firstly, you need to predetermine the signals that mean Yes and No. To do this, you ask the pendulum. To determine the Yes response - While your pendulum is still swinging in the neutral action, state, ‘show me my Yes response’. You do not need to say this out loud but make sure you state it clearly in you mind. Now watch the pendulum. It will change direction or change its movement style or it may stop altogether. Whatever movement it makes after you ask for your Yes response is the movement that will be your signal for Yes.

..To determine the -No- response - Swing the pendulum once again in the neutral action. While the pendulum is still swinging in the neutral action, state ‘show me my No response’. Watch the pendulum and whatever motion it makes will be your No response. Repeat the process outlined above until you are confident that you have a predetermined response for Yes and No. You can draw lines on a paper below the swinging pendulum symbolizing the motion for “yes” and one for “no”

..IF YOU DO NOT GET A CLEAR SIGNAL: When you first start using a pendulum this process may take a while as you are using a part of your psyche that may not be well practiced. You need to be patient with yourself and keep you mind focused on the question you are asking. For some this comes immediately but for many it will take practice. If, after trying a number of times, you are not getting a clear signal from the pendulum for -Yes- and -No-, you can decide your signals using your conscious mind. To do this, repeat the exercise as stated above but this time decide on what movement you would like to be your -Yes- signal and what movement you would like to be your -No- signal.

..To consciously determine your -Yes- signal, firstly swing the pendulum in the neutral position, then state in your mind, or out loud, ‘this will be my Yes signal”. On making this statement, deliberately swing the pendulum in the motion that you have chosen to mean Yes. Do the same thing to determine the No signal. Once you have set your responses, practice swapping between Yes, Neutral, No, Neutral, Yes, etc. Test out the predetermined responses by asking some simple questions and let the pendulum signal the answer.

..Like anything new, your divination will improve through practice. Practice helps you to focus your mind and will help you to develop an emotionally detached disposition when divining. Over time you will increase your ability to ‘hear’ your intuition and improve your general psychic ability.Pendulum divination helps you to align your intellectual mind with your intuition. It is a helpful tool that is easy to use and a great way to increase your psychic development. Tap into your own immense source of knowledge!
