A dowsing mat can be used to help see the answers as the pendulum moves above it. Although dowsing is best known as a method of finding water, it actually is a form of divination used to locate anything – including the hidden answers you are looking for. A dowsing mat can be as simple or as complex as you want. A basic mat is similar to the diagram below:
As with the selection of a pendulum, the selection of the mat should be based on the one that calls to you and makes sense to you at the time. You may decide that a simple mat is right for you now, and find that a different one calls to you later on when you have more experience.
Although some people see the more intricate mats as similar to a Ouija board, the similarity is strictly superficial. A Ouija board relies on spirits to answer questions whereas the pendulum works with the energies flowing between you and the pendulum.
When you are ready to start, hold the pendulum over the dowsing mat, and ask your question. Remember to phrase your question so that you can get a simple, non-ambiguous answer. A positive response to “Will I be successful in my job” may not mean that you will be successful in your current position. A well phrased question will help you understand the answer that you get.
Some people prefer concentrating on the question in their mind while others choose to voice their question aloud. Whichever way feels comfortable to you, once you have asked the question try to clear your mind and let the energies flow as they will. You will see the pendulum begin to move. Sometimes the motion will be stronger than other times; this shows the strength of the answer.
The pendulum can move in 6 basic ways that mean:
Yes - an up and down direction.
No - a side to side direction.
Maybe - a diagonal direction, from the lower left to upper right corners of the circle.
Don't Want To Answer/ Rephrase the Question - a diagonal direction, from the lower right to the upper left corners of the circle.
Probably Yes - a clockwise circle.
Probably Not - a counter-clockwise circle.
It's a good idea to cleanse your pendulum before using it. One way to do this is to hold it under running water for a few moments. If you prefer, place the pendulum on a windowsill and let the sunlight clear away any unwanted vibrations. Use Selenite to cleanse the pendulum. Selenite is a self-cleansing stone that will cleanse all of your other stones as well as your pendulum. Store your pendulum in a small pouch or wrap it in a piece of silk cloth to protect it.
WHERE SHOULD I GO TO FIND A PENDULUM? There a number of places that sell pendulums, probably right in your area! Look for a metaphysical shop or a store that carries items pertaining to spirituality. A book store with a range of products besides books will usually have some type of divination section. Street Fairs and Festivals are excellent places to find many different vendors who carry stones, crystals and pendulums.
Do your homework first, and know what you are looking for. The Internet has a lot of sites that can sell you any number of different pendulums and mats, and they can give you a good sense of what the prices are for the items that catch your eye.
The problem with online shopping for pendulums is that you cannot tell which one is right for you. The right pendulum will call to you and let you know that it is the one you should get. Even though a particular type of pendulum is the one what you want, the specific one really needs to be felt and seen to get the best result. Without physical contact before you start using it, the connection between you and the pendulum will not be the best one for you to use.
Your best bet is to find the type of pendulum you want online, know what the price range is for it, and head out to a place where you can see and feel the pendulums in person. To get an idea of different types of pendulums online, visit the Something for Everyone Pendulum store.
WHAT IS THE BEST PENDULUM MATERIAL /SIZE /SHAPE, ETC. TO GET? A pendulum can be made of any material, size, weight or shape. It can be a small round or cone shaped crystal. It may be a polished stone or a natural point. It can also be of metal, plastic or any material of your choice. There is no right or wrong - choosing a pendulum for yourself is a personal decision. When the right pendulum presents itself, you will know it.
WILL I GET AN ACCURATE ANSWER IF I ASK A QUESTION? First of all, the pendulum will not give us an answer – it is simply a tool that allows the energy within and around us to manifest in a way that we can understand. We should direct the question to our higher self instead of the pendulum in order to get the answer. This is not necessarily the answer we want, but it is the answer we need.
WHY DOES A PENDULUM MOVE BY ITSELF? The pendulum does not move by itself – YOU make it move! The energy of the pendulum and your subconscious mind work together to get a response or answer to the question. The energy that is generated by the interaction between you and the pendulum is then translated to a movement of the pendulum. The movement is guided by the frequency of the energy to cause the pendulum to swing in a specific direction, which provides the answer to your question.
