Pendulum Divination... (Page 1 of 2)

Hi Sowelu, thanks for the response.    I think I'll look into the alphabet chart.  It'll be the closest I ever get to channeling.     If I have any luck with it, I'll post an update.   Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Actually that reminds me......the interesting thing about this whole thing is that I don't get the answers I may be expecting.  !   Which is pretty cool, just tells me that it's actually a pretty valid method.  If it only says what I expect to hear then that's pretty questionable.   I won't always hear what I expect, but if I double, triple or quadruple check it, the answers will remain consistent.   

For instance, (and yes, this may seem like a silly goofy thing to ask...blush...) but I asked if my kitty is a reincarnation of any past pets or animals I've been in close contact with.  I figured the probability was high, but at the same time, I couldn't begin to guess who she would have been.  She doesn't have a personality like any past cat or dog I've known.

The answer was actually No.  All 3 or 4 times I asked, it was a clear No.

Interesting!  I also asked if she would ever come back to me after she died.  Don't like to think about that, but it's inevitable.  The answer again was a No, she would be moving on. 

I asked a few questions pertaining to her evolution, all of which were interesting in themselves.  I had a sneaking suspicion for instance that my cat's most recent incarnations were all as people's pets....including being a dog.   She just acts like a dog in many ways, like she's confused and has holdovers from her life as someone's pet Fido.    She does this thing where she'll run, then drop down and roll over with her paws up in the air.   Not very cat-like from what I've seen of other cats.   So, I asked about it and got a very loud "YES" to that one, all the times that I asked. 

What was hilarious was when I asked if she'd ever been a pet ferret.    Yes, laugh if you will, but my cat is a very confused cat indeed, and her original name was actually Ferret, not Kitty, because as a kitten she was so obnoxiously ferret-like, always moving her neck all around and being squirmy like a ferret.   Even my brother saw it and we both indepdently came up with "Ferret" as her name.   The pendulum answer?   "YES!"   

Who knows, but it's funny to imagine. 

I have yet to delve into some of the more serious topics, such as abductions and whatnot.  The one thing I did broach relating to that had disturbing results.  The degree of "Yes" or "No" helped steer my line of questioning, and things weren't quite what they initially appeared to be.   In fact, it was a bit worse.  It involved the VERY Illuminati-owned hotel I recently just worked at, which an intuitive member of NR kept warning me about from Day 1.  As soon as she heard I was working there she immediately was struck with bad feelings of neferous activity, and cautioned me on 3 separate occasions about it, both over the phone and in email.  She turned out to be more right then she could have ever imagined.   My line of questioning pertaining to this issue and a barely half-buried subconsious recollection of something only opened up a Pandora's Box of more questions and implications, so I gave it up and went to bed.   Will resume it again at a later date.  But I feel that this is the reason I've been pushed to try the pendulum....get answers to those particular topics.  The "Big Stuff."   Of course, it's obviously more fun to ask if my cat was ever a ferret.   "Was kitty....a DOG??.......was kitty....A SQUIRREL???....was kitty.....a WOMBAT????......"  haha!

Also, I've thought some more about using the letters and numbers chart along with the pendulum and I've decided against it.  I've always been dead set against channelling for myself, as well as anything that's even remotely related to a Ouiji board.  In my opinion it's dangerous, and as soon as one steps into that territory it's broadening the possibilities of what can get through.   When it's just "Yes" and "No", and you specify that you only want to communicate with your own subconscious or higher self, then it keeps other stuff at bay.  There's not much a malevant entity can do when its only options are Yes and No.   They're like, "BOO!  BOO!   This sucks!  BOO!  I'm atta here!  BOO!"   haha

Will post more later, when I discover more.......

Well first off, congratulations!  That's cool that you bought a pendulum!

For me, I just dived right into it without reading anything on it first, cause I'm just like that.   It just naturally fell into place and immediately worked for me, after 6 months of a growing urge to buy one.  So partly I think the time has to be right, for starters.  It certainly helps if you've felt an increasing urge to use a pendulum.   That's something trying to nudge you in that direction, which probably will help ensure success with it.

As far as pointers are concerned, start off of course by asking what will be "Yes", "No" and "Maybe."  Or whatever type of answers you want to use.   The pendulum should hopefully give you a clear response for each.   I've always consistantly gotten a vertical line for Yes, a counter-clockwise circle for No, and a horizontal back and forth line for Maybe, but I'm sure it's different for everybody.

I started straight out launching into questions, no practice or anything.  That's what determined me buying it - it was already working for me in the shop before I even bought it, much to my surprise.   Do what feels right for you though.  If you feel you need practice, then practice.  One way you can practice is work with somebody else and have them for instance hide an object somewhere in your house / apartment.   Then quiz the pendulum to find out which room it's in.  Tom and I did this, and had luck with it.   It's a good, easy way to verify whether it "works."    What's funny is that Tom hid the object in question in the bathroom, but originally was going to put it in the laundry room, and so even after putting it in the bathroom he kept thinking laundry room.  My results said laundry room.    Weird.  The second time he hid the object it correctly gave the answer as well.

I guess another pointer would be to not think of things in terms of the "pendulum" giving you answers.  It's not the pendulum itself, it's your own higher self / subconscious, speaking to you through the medium of a pendulum.   So when asking questions, try to keep that in mind and strive for that connection with your own self;  think about the fact that you already know the answers.  Now you'd like to tap into them, gain access to what might normally be blocked off.   

In essense, you're "talking to yourself."     But it's fun!

For me, I can feel that sometimes, the connection is being hindered or blocked in some way.  It doesn't happen frequently, but I have had it happen.  But this means that you should be able to feel that there's a "connection" of some sort happening when you do it, like being "plugged in."  It's hard to explain.  But you should feel something like that.   After asking a series of questions, then stopping suddenly, it truly feels to me like unplugging from a trance-like state, and re-surfacing again out of the water.   Then I'll go back to asking questions, and I can literally feel myself plugging back in and slipping back under the water again.  It's pretty cool! 

That's exactly what it says at the beginning of the book I just picked up... hold the cord just a couple of inches above the pendulum.

Woohoo! My new selenite pendulum arrived today. What an absolutely beautiful stone, it's mesmerizing. I remember Pleiadian Healer had suggested it is good to announce/state that you intend to connection with your HigherSelf before you start a pendulum session, so I did that. Then I asked to calibrate a Yes answer, and got right pointing clockwise spin, and for No and left pointing spin. It was so clear and definitely I was a little bit suprised. [edit: btw I did a bunch of questions I know the answers to and am getting 100% correct answers so far] Wow this thing is cool! With that, I asked if I have ET origin, and got a yes, and then asked if I'm a wanderer like in the terms of the Ra material and got another big yes answer. So uhmmm... wow, and hey that's freaky weird. That's enough for now.

Also someone recommended to me that after you are finished with using your pendulum, that you should do some qi-gong and clean your aura. Also maybe good to rinse your hands in water trying to clear yourself. I've been warned it's possible to get some nasty attachments and contact with negative things if you're not careful... I want to be careful and not get myself into some bad situation due to ignorance, or lack of attention to detail. My first shot at this dowsing thing starts with a big bang.

A couple links

Pendulums to Gauge Energy Flow
http://www.earthalchemy.com/pendulum.html

I thought this article was especially timely since I just got this book called The Practicle Pendulum Book by D. Jurriaanse which provides suggestions to perform some of these basic experiments on minerals and has charts showing the expected pendulum behaviour. I tested it with gold and silver (I have a rough unrefined rock from a childhood tour of a gold mine, and a silver chain for the silver).

You place the pendulum over the object (gold) and it begins to move in a wide circle to the right (counter-clockwise). Then over the silver object, it makes an eliptical circle to the left (clockwise). In the book it says "these will reveal the most important polarities: gold-silver; sun-moon; male-female; mind-matter; positive-negative; dynamic-receptive. A clockwise rotation indicates a male radiation; a counterclockwise rotation indicates a female radiation."

It goes on to suggest other experiments and to try other things only when "you feel that you are in control of your pendulum and you know what it is telling you." It provides two matrix charts, one column is the material that composes your pendulum (crystal, stone, copper, etc) with the other axis being the thing the pendulum is used over: minerals on one, and colors on the other. Then it provides a graphic in each square of the matrix showing the expected pendulum swing result for that test combination. I really wish they had gone into a more in depth discussion. Over-all the intro and how-to part is pretty breif but it should be enough to get someone started. The main body is various charts which I've played with a little now and it is interesting. It's a cheap book so if you're into your pendulum then hey, why not?

Okay back to the first link, it talked about using pictures and being able to observe the energies, and a reference to the old indian belief that taking a picture is stealing a peice of ones soul. Ultimately the article concludes "There is literally an infinite number of ways that I could focus and watch energy flow relationships." and "Through a pendulum I have learned that it's simply a matter of focus."

and that reminded me of this radionics link I was just on talking about the same thing, being how you focus and establishing a psychic link, being more important than the symbolic representations you choose to use in bringing that focus, which seems to dove tail nicely into this first article:
