You can use your pendulum for almost anything you can dream of.  One useful tool is to for determining the best food for you to eat, or the freshest and healthiest produce in a shop.  It can help you determine what minerals and vitamins you are lacking and tell you how to take and for how long.  A pendulum can be a valuable tool for an achiever in all aspects of their life.

Pendulum charts are available, or you can create your own, for a variety of different purposes.  These are very simple to create and use.  An example is included below, but you can create any chart that you need.  A pendulum chart is usually a semi-circle broken into segments with each segment containing a word, colour or phrase relevant to the subject of the chart.  Examples charts would be colours, vitamins, foods, holiday destinations, parts of the body, and so on.

To use a chart, hold your pendulum over the start point at the centre of the flat part of the semi-circle.  Ask your question and focus your mind on it.  The pendulum will begin to move in a straight line rather than a circle.  Its swing will cover one (or possibly more) of the segments of the chart.  Whatever is in these segments is the answer to your question.

Below is a simple pendulum chart for colour therapy.  You place your pendulum on the start point (the dark circle on the straight part of the semi-circle) and ask the question “What colour is best for me to wear today?”  Focus on the question and the pendulum would begin to move.  It will swing over one particular colour.  That colour is the one you need to wear today for the best results.

You can create your own charts very easily for almost subject you need one for.

After a while of using the pendulum you will discover that you feel the answers to your questions before the pendulum begins to swing.  This is great because it means you do not always need to ask the pendulum, you are no more in touch with your inner selves and can talk directly to them.  No longer do you have to stand in the supermarket holding your pendulum over fruit and vegetables to choose the best ones – your body will automatically tell you.

One thing to be wary of with the pendulum is to use it too much for personal gain.  There is a story often heard in pendulum circles of a man who used his pendulum to determine the outcome of horse races.  He used to divine the winner and bet on the horses.  He did very well and won a lot of money, but kept on placing bigger and bigger bets.

Then one day, he placed his bet, wagering a large sum of money and his horse lost the race.  Due to the amount of money he had bet, he was now in a worse financial position than when he had started out.  After this experience, he never used his pendulum for personal gain like that again.

As with any divination method, please be careful you do not become too reliant upon it for answers.  When facing any decision in life, the pendulum can be used to offer guidance and advice, but you should make the ultimate decision using the pendulum as an advisor only.  Forming such a reliance on anything for advice is unhealthy and will cripple you when it comes to decision making.

Pendulums can be used to strengthen affirmations and help you know when it an affirmation is firmly installed in your system.  Hold your pendulum as per usual and repeat an affirmation, perhaps “I am good with money.”  Keep repeating the affirmation and focus your mind on what you are saying.  You will notice the pendulum begins to swing.  It may begin swinging negatively.  Keep repeating your affirmation and as your sub-conscious begins to believe what you are saying, so the swing will slow until eventually it stops and goes the other way.  Keep on repeating the affirmation until the pendulum is strongly swinging in the positive direction.  Then you can stop.

This is then repeated over a number of days or weeks until as soon as you begin saying the affirmation the pendulum swings strongly in the positive direction.  Then you know the affirmation is firmly installed in your mind.  Check back every now and again to ensure it is still there and strong, and strengthen it a little if necessary.

Following on from this technique, the pendulum can be used to talk to your sub-conscious.  If you feel there is a pattern in your life, maybe you always get into the wrong type of relationship or have problems with your boss, you can use the pendulum to get to the bottom of the issue.  Through the careful use of questioning you can determine what is causing the pattern and even how to solve it.

The pendulum is a very powerful tool when used correctly.  It is a great way to get in touch with your inner selves and to help you with healing mental and emotional hurts.  Remember when you use it to always focus on the question and not on what you desire the outcome to be otherwise you will influence the pendulum.  Enjoy using the pendulum and discover the many areas of your life you can use one in.
