DIVINATION
A pendulum is one of the oldest and most accessible divination tools in the world. Used for thousands of years across many cultures, a pendulum is simply a weighted object suspended from a chain or cord that responds to subtle energetic movements — and with practice, can be used to access your own intuition and inner wisdom.
A crystal pendulum combines the divination power of pendulum work with the energetic properties of crystals. Our 7 Chakra Crystal Pendulum features layers of all seven chakra stones, making it a particularly powerful tool for chakra balancing work as well as yes/no readings and energy dowsing.
The pendulum responds to your body's subtle energetic movements — known as ideomotor responses — which are influenced by your subconscious mind. When you ask a clear question, your body already holds the answer, and the pendulum amplifies this response into a visible movement you can interpret.
Before using your pendulum for the first time, cleanse it by passing it through sage smoke, placing it in moonlight overnight, or holding it in your hands and setting a clear intention.
Hold the chain between your thumb and forefinger, allowing the pendulum to hang freely. Ask it to show you "yes" — watch how it moves (clockwise, back and forth, side to side). Then ask it to show you "no." Every pendulum is different, so establish this at the start of every session.
Take three deep breaths. Clear your mind. Set the intention that you are open to honest, accurate guidance for your highest good.
Ask clear, specific yes/no questions. Hold your question clearly in your mind and allow the pendulum to respond. Avoid asking questions you are emotionally invested in, as strong emotions can influence the response.
Thank your pendulum and your intuition. Cleanse the pendulum after each session to clear the energy of the questions asked.
