Isis brass dowsing pendulum from Divining Mind

Dowsing pendulum is basically a weight suspended on a thread that lets you receive answers to your questions.

How it works? Nobody really knows, one theory is that we use our subconscious mind to connect to our super-conscious mind (higher self) and in turn the super-conscious mind access the universal pool of information, which is like a giant library.

We start by holding the thread or chain of the pendulum in our dominate hand using our thumb, index and middle fingers, our wrist arched so that our fingers are in line with the thread, pointing downwards.

The best state to receive accurate answers is relaxed state similar to the alpha state. The best attitude is not to expect the outcome, like: “I wonder if…”.

We start by establishing the movement to indicate yes / no answers. We mentally or verbally (if we are in a private setting) ask to get the movement for a “yes” answer. In most cases it’s either forward and backwards movement or clockwise rotation, but don’t be surprised if yours is different. Each of us is different after all!

We may want to create another movement for “the other types”, basically dumping together all different types of answers, like “50-50 chance”, “the question is not clear”, etc. You can separate them into their own movement later on.

Dowsing with a pendulum is more of a lifestyle than just a technique. You can use it to ask general questions, search for minerals, water, missing people and lost objects. This is just the beginning as you can also use it for healing, either direct or from a distance, adjust aura and chakras, detect noxious energy zones and lines, checking food and supplements, etc.
