First-Time Use
Sitting at a table or desk, hold the pendulum between your index finger and thumb by the end of the string or chain. Prop your elbow firmly on the surface, with your arm at a slight angle, so the pendulum can swing freely. It helps if your pendulum has a ring, bead, or knot at the end of the string or chain by which to hold it, because that cuts down on the chance of your conscious mind influencing the direction of the swing. The first thing you’re going to do is tell the pendulum, “Show me my search position.” Your search position is either going to be the pendulum hanging dead-still at the end of the chain, or swinging in a circle. Then tell the pendulum, “Show me Yes.” Your Yes position is going to be either a toward-you-and-away-from-you movement, like a nodding of the head, or the pendulum will swing in a leftward, circular, clockwise direction. Then tell the pendulum, “Show me No.” Your No position is going to be either a left-and-right movement, like a shaking of the head ‘no’, or if your yes position was the pendulum swinging in a clockwise direction, then your no position might be the pendulum swinging in a counter-clockwise direction.
The Maybe/Wrong Question Answer
Not every question you ask is going to be a yes/no question. Sometimes the best answer the pendulum can give you is a ‘maybe.’ Or it could be that you are asking the pendulum the wrong question, because you are looking at your problem from the wrong perspective! For these questions, the pendulum’s answer will look like this:
Or if your yes/no answers swing in circles, maybe/wrong question will swing like this:
The point is, your pendulum will swing at a northeast-southwest or a northwest-southeast angle, as if it were crossing out the easy answer of ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Usually, I interpret this swing as ‘Wrong question. Re-think and re-phrase your question’.
So these are the basic responses a pendulum can give you. To get familiar with your pendulum and how it works, ask it a series of obvious yes or no questions to which you know the correct answer. Things like:
1.) Does spring come after winter?
2.) Is grass white? Is snow green?
3.) Is my name John Brown?
4.) Is today (month) (day) ?
Once you start getting comfortable with your pendulum’s ability to answer you with a clear and correct yes or no, try asking it questions about tomorrow, since tomorrow’s events will very soon be able to be verified. Ask it simple, verifiable questions like:
1.) Will it rain tomorrow?
2.) Am I going to work/school tomorrow?
3.) Will I hear from (fill in the blank) tomorrow?
4.) Will anything out of the ordinary happen tomorrow?
