The
Pendulum is a device used to measure both inner and outer energies
and force fields. It has been used for many years in the ancient
art of divination or dowsing and as a divining tool can communicate
with spirit or your subconscious mind.
We
live in an energy universe. Every organism is surrounded by may
different types of energy. We have the ability to recognize and
sense different energies. All living matter seems to have an innate
intelligence which manifests in a kind of primary perception of
good or bad energy. Humans especially have this ability developed
to a very high degree. However, they are not aware of it most
of the time.
A pendulum
can be used as a tool to have questions answered, allergy testing,
food testing, dowsing and so much more. In my experience using
a pendulum, I have found them to be fairly accurate. Before using
your pendulum you should cleanse and bless it, thus making it
yours. I also recommend not letting other people use your pendulum
as it can hold their energy and throw your pendulum off. A good
way to cleanse your pendulum of negative energies is to place
it in the freezer or bury it in the ground over night. To bless
it simply say a prayer or ask spirit to bless it for your own
personal use.
It
is not advisable to ask questions of your pendulum that are not
in the overall good of the person you are asking about as you
will find that your answers may be very inaccurate. It has also
been my experience that asking the same questions over and over
will give you mixed results. Ask your question once and trust
your intuition.
So
many people ask how does this work, how can an object move using
your mind? There are several theories and explanations on this
subject. One authority, Max Freedom Long, says that it is subconscious
phenomena which the pendulum makes conscious. Others propose all
kinds of metaphysical and religious explanations for the phenomena
such as angels making the pendulum move, spirit or God making
it move and so forth.
It
may help if we look at it on a frequency level. This explanation
will help understand teleradiesthesia (detection from a distance).
The mind operates something like a combination radio or TV transmitter.
A person with a properly trained mind who can concentrate and
hold his thought powerfully on a particular object, thought, person,
substance, or idea becomes in tune with it. The person touches
the thing on its own frequency. Nerve cells begin to vibrate in
resonance to it, and this vibration has a frequency (vibratory
rate) and wavelength which give it a unique quality, tone, or
colour. The nervous system then translates this quality and causes
the appropriate agreed upon movement in the pendulum.
Is
it mind over matter, divination or some other unexplained occurrence?
Well anyone with a trained mind who has a reasonable ability to
concentrate and focus for a length of time can use a pendulum.
It is also advisable to develop good emotional and mental control
before putting too much trust in your pendulum. As you become
more emotionally neutral, you will gain more control and poise
, and you will notice that your readings become progressively
more accurate. In addition, other facets of your life will begin
to improve as well.
There
have been many documented positive findings referring to the power
of the pendulum. People have used them to diagnose disease, test
food for life threatening bacteria, and even to find lost items
or people. During my research I found a story that I would like
to share. Verne Cameron, a famous water dowser, was barred from
leaving the United States because he was considered a security
risk. Why? Using a map dowsing technique in a demonstration to
admirals of the U.S. Navy, he accurately located the position
and depth of all their submarines and submarine bases in the Pacific.
Not only that but he was also able to distinguish between American
and Russian subs. It is stories like these that make even the
most sceptic people stop and take notice of this amazing tool.
Most
everyone is able to train the mind to use a pendulum. From fun
to therapy, this tool has crossed the ages with a history of accuracy,
and the ability to amaze all who come in contact with it for the
first time. I recommend doing meditation prior to using your pendulum
to clear your mind of the things that may bring you false or inaccurate
results. This is a very powerful tool and it must at all times
be used with great respect and only used for the highest good
of all involved.
