Pendulum Power is only useful if you know how to use it, so at this point it is fitting that I explain exactly how a pendulum works. As I have already said, a pendulum is used to help you access the source of all knowledge within you. The way you do this is to hold the pendulum in your hand and ask a question which can be answered either ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. The answer is obtained by interpreting the direction in which the pendulum swings in response to your question.
To keep your pendulum use as simple as possible, you can draw a Pendulum Power Chart on a piece of paper to make such directional interpretation automatic. An example chart is shown below:
Using Your Pendulum
Actually using your pendulum to access the source of all knowledge within you is incredibly easy. In fact there are just three simple steps which you need to follow:
Step One – Preparation
You should ensure that you have your pendulum and your pendulum chart with you, then go to a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Sit down and place the Pendulum Power Chart in front of you.
Now take your pendulum in your dominant hand (the hand you write with) and hold the pendulum still so that it hovers about an inch or two above the centre of the pendulum chart.
Step Two – Ask A Question
Now you are ready to ask a question. The question can be anything, but should be asked in such a way that the answer can be yes or no. For example, you might ask, ‘Will this book help me to become more successful in life?’ because this can be answered either yes or no. But you can’t ask something like, ‘How can this book help me to become more successful in life?’ because the answer to this question can’t be answered with a yes or no.
It is important that you think about your question very clearly when using the pendulum so that you aren’t sending conflicting messages to the source of all knowledge. For example, if you ask a question about your job but you are actually thinking about something else, the answer you get could apply to either.
For best results, you should ask one question at a time and think only about that question until you have obtained an answer.
Step Three – Obtain The Answer
Once you have asked your question, concentrate on the weight of the pendulum. Do not move it physically, but just watch the weight of the pendulum. After a few seconds it will begin to sway in one direction or the other. This swaying will usually become more prominent and before long the pendulum will either be swinging clearly from NO to NO on your pendulum chart, or from YES to YES.
Obviously if the pendulum swings from NO to NO then the answer to your question is NO. If it swings from YES to YES then the answer to your question is YES.
On some occasions the pendulum will refuse to swing or it will go round in circles. This means that your question cannot be answered at this time. Either re-phrase the question, try again later, or ask another question on a different subject.
The more you practice with your pendulum, the better the results will be. However, you can’t expect the answers you get to be one hundred per cent accurate from day one. The pendulum is simply a tool which enables your subconscious mind to ‘tune in’ to the source of all knowledge and relay any resulting information through your physical nervous system and out to the pendulum itself where you can see it.
As with any tool, the more you practice using it, the better the end results will be.
Example Questions To Ask
Surprisingly, once some people have discovered how easy it is to access the source of all knowledge within them, they have a difficult time coming up with questions to ask! To ensure that this doesn’t happen to you, I will now list a selection of questions that you might like to use as you practice using your pendulum on a regular basis. Read them, use them, and enjoy!
Is this my first life-time on earth?
Will my current actions take me to wealth?
Will my current habits result in good health?
Am I currently fulfilling my life’s purpose?
Am I making the most of my potential?
Should I think about changing jobs?
Should I think about moving home?
Is my spiritual growth on target?
Do I need to spend more time developing my spiritual awareness?
Should I be more intuitive?
Should I be more considerate of other people?
Should I be less judgmental?
Conclusion
One of the things that almost everyone wants is a set of answers to life’s questions. We want to know what we are, who we are, and where we are heading. We want to know how our current actions, habits and beliefs are shaping our destinies. We also want to know what to do or change so that we can reach our full potential.
Pendulum Power can help us to get those answers. Not because a pendulum is a magical item in and of itself, but because it is a divination tool which we can learn to use to tap into the source of all knowledge which lies deep within our beings.
As we ask our questions and use our pendulums to get the answers, our spiritual growth can flourish from the inside out. As we begin to rely on the voice within rather than on the words of others, we finally begin to discover what spiritual enlightenment is really all about.
According to the dictionary a pendulum is, ‘a body suspended from a fixed point so as to swing periodically under the action of gravity.’ As far as this series on Pendulum Power is concerned, a pendulum is a divination tool. Specifically, it consists of a weight attached to a thin cord which is used by the owner to help them obtain information from the source of knowledge within.
A pendulum is an excellent tool for communicating with the power within you for two major reasons:
- A pendulum is truly portable and can be carried with you anywhere and everywhere in either pocket or purse.
- Using a pendulum requires no detailed knowledge – just the ability to follow a few ‘operating instructions’ which will be given later in this series.
Some people are under the impression that a pendulum is something of a ‘magical’ tool in and of itself. This is not the case at all. A pendulum is a divination tool and nothing more. Any ‘magic’ that takes place comes from the user, not from the tool itself.
Consider a carpenter’s hammer. It is useless in and of itself. No matter how long it is left on a bench, it will not pick itself up and hammer a nail into a piece of wood. But combine the tool of the hammer with the knowledge of the carpenter and hammering a nail into a piece of wood is simplicity itself.
So it is with the pendulum. On its own it can do nothing, but when it is used correctly by the owner, seemingly magical results can take place.
Another myth is that a pendulum is only useful if it is of a certain size or if the weight is made of a certain material. Again, this is not so. You can make your own pendulum from materials you probably already have in your home in a matter of minutes and get just as good results as you would by using one which has been professionally crafted. Of course, it may not be as visually pleasing as a professionally manufactured model, but as far as results are concerned all pendulums are equal.
Making Your Own Pendulum
Having dispelled the common myths that a pendulum has magical properties of its own and that it should be manufactured in a specific way to be beneficial, it is now time for you to take some action. The first step is for you to make your own pendulum.
To make your own pendulum, you only need two things: a length of thin cord and a weight. The cord could be a piece of string and the weight a simple ring or hex nut, but don’t be confined to these suggestions. One man that I know of was so desperate to make a pendulum that he used a thin shoe lace and a ball of poster putty for the weight – and his pendulum worked wonders!
I recommend that the cord should be approximately eight to twelve inches in length, and all you need to do is secure the weight of your choice to one end. When you have done that your pendulum is ready to use, and I will discuss how to do that in my next post.
Pendulum Power has fascinated people for centuries, and in this new series of articles I will discuss the power of the pendulum in detail. Over the next few posts you will learn:
- Why the power within you knows the answers to all questions and is even able to help you foretell the future.
- Why a pendulum is an excellent tool to help you communicate quickly and easily with the power within you.
- How to make a pendulum of your own.
- How to use a pendulum to tap into the unlimited source of knowledge within you.
At the appropriate point I will also provide a special chart which you can start using immediately to help reveal what the future has in store for you!
Let’s start by discussing…
The Source Of All Knowledge
If I told you that the power within you was the source of all knowledge and could provide you with information not obtainable elsewhere, you might be a little sceptical. Your scepticism, however, would not invalidate the fact that this is the truth. The power within you – as regular readers of Create Good Things will already be aware – has the answer to any question, the solution to any problem and the key to unlock any door which you may face.
Think about this for a few moments and it will be obvious that we shouldn’t expect anything less from the power which created and sustains the universe we live in. Since we and everything around us is energy what the energy does in one place or time is intuitively known in every other place and time.
Consider a lake. Drop a pebble at one end of a lake and the effects of this small action will be registered throughout the whole. Ripples expand from the point where the pebble hit the water and continue expanding until the whole of the surface knows that the event has taken place. Of course, the ripple might not be visible to the human eye for more than a few metres, but on a microscopic level it continues far wider. On a quantum level the act of dropping a small pebble into a lake causes major reactions which any scientist can measure.
So it is with the energy in and around you. But because the power within you is divine and is not limited to time, it knows how events will unfold in the future as well as what has happened in the past.
This is not to say that the future is fixed, because that isn’t the case. But it is the case that for every action there is a reaction. If you ask the source of all knowledge within you what your future holds, it will answer according to the actions which you are currently taking. You can then choose to change this future by changing your current actions.
For example, if you ask if you are going to be healthy in five years time and the source says no, this does not mean that health is not possible for you.
On the contrary, if you look at your current lifestyle and you make changes such as quitting smoking, taking up exercise on a regular basis and begin eating a more balanced diet, you will automatically change the state of your health in the future.
It is important to realise that the future can be changed by changing your daily actions because so many people believe falsely that destiny is written on tablets of stone. They don’t even bother to try to improve their lives and so – like a self-fulfilling prophecy – their lives continue to head towards the future that they believe is already fixed.
So much for the theory – how can one access the source of all knowledge for oneself? Well, you have probably accessed this source of all knowledge quite accidentally in the past.
- You may have heard the telephone ring and known instinctively who was calling you.
- You may have had a dream which foretold a future event.
- You may have ‘known’ what someone was going to say even before they had said a word.
- You may have found yourself experiencing Déjà Vu, knowing on a very deep inner level that the situation or place you were in was strangely familiar to you.
All of these incidents are examples of how the source of all knowledge is tapped ‘accidentally’ from time to time. Unfortunately, accidents are random events and so if we want to access this kind of knowledge on a regular basis to help us live our lives more effectively, we need to find a method of divination which can be relied upon at all times to provide answers to our questions as and when we need them.
The search for such a method is not new. Many have tried and a few have succeeded, but most of the divination methods discovered are complex and require a lot of self-education.
The Tarot is a wonderful example. Its effectiveness is hard to dispute, but mastering Tarot cards on your own can take a long time, and that might not be good enough if you need a quick answer to a quick question. The I-Ching and casting of Runes are similar methods which require at least a working knowledge of how the symbols are to be interpreted, and so on.
But what if there was a method of accessing inner knowledge which didn’t require anything great in the way of self-education? What if you could find a method of gaining the answer to any question within minutes? Even better, what if this method was truly portable and could be used anywhere?
Welcome to the world of Pendulum Power!
