Step 1: Hold Your Pendulum Like This

Hold your pendulum in your dominant hand.

This hand is naturally stronger and helps prevent accidental movements. Drape the chain over your index or middle finger, and steady it by holding the bead or clasp between your thumb and finger.

The key: Allow the pendulum to hang freely, draped over at least 1 finger. Directly pinching the pendulum creates inaccurate movements.

Step 2: Charge Your Pendulum

Like crystals, pendulums work best when they’re energetically connected to you. To charge it:

1. Take a few deep breaths.
2. Visualize your body glowing with white, silver, or violet light.
3. Imagine that light flowing from your head → through your arm → into the pendulum.

This step cleanses your tool and aligns it with your Higher Self or Higher Consciousness.

Step 3: Calibrate Your Pendulum

Before asking questions, you need to know how your pendulum shows “yes” and “no.”

• Ask simple questions you already know the answer to, such as:
  • “Is my name [Your Name]?”
  • “Am I sitting down?”
• Watch the swing: it may move forward/backward, side to side, or in circles. Note which movement means yes and which means no for this session.

(Pro Tip: Your pendulum’s signals can shift between sessions, so always calibrate first.)

Step 4: Ask Your Yes or No Questions

Now you’re ready! Ask your pendulum a clear yes/no question and observe the movement. Always thank your pendulum and pause between questions.

💡 The more you practice, the stronger your connection becomes.
