Dowsing with the Pendulum

Once you become comfortable with it, the pendulum can help you in all sorts of ways. You can use it when choosing tarot cards, for instance; shuffle the cards and lay them face down in front of you, then use your pendulum to choose which cards you should read. Put it in the search position over the first card, then ask ‘Is this card significant for me today?’ Move the pendulum, still swinging, over each card and choose the ones to which you get a ‘yes’ response. Make a note of the cards you’ve selected and how apt they are. Read the rest of this entry »

Practice Makes Perfect

Like all the other predictive techniques, it takes practice to use the pendulum. Sadly, when you start you may get more wrong answers than right ones — you need to train yourself to use it properly. That’s especially true if you plan to use the pendulum as a predictive tool for other people. Although when using other techniques, such as cartomancy, you can refer to the text if you get stuck or forget what something means, you can’t do that in the same way with the ‘pendulum. The link between it and your subconscious instincts and intuitions is too direct for that, so you must strengthen this link before you can use it to give guidance, to other people. Otherwise, you may mistakenly give them the wrong information. Read the rest of this entry »

Asking the Right Questions

One of the most common problems for people getting accustomed to using a pendulum is that they ask it the wrong question. Always remember that it can only answer ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘maybe/wrong question‘, so there’s no point in asking something like, ‘Should I buy the pink scarf or the black suit?’ It will either refuse to co-operate at all or give you the ‘wrong question‘ response.

As pendulums become increasingly popular methods of divining the future, so they’re becoming more widely available. Traditionally shaped pendulums are most commonly made from brass or wood, and are usually shaped like plumb-bobs suspended from a length of cord. Alternatively, you can buy pendulums made of rock crystal or some other semiprecious stone. If you prefer, you can create your own, perhaps using a wedding ring, a favourite piece of jewellery or a door-key — even a large paper-clip if it’s the only suitable object that you have to hand. It really doesn‘t matter what you use, provided it is not shaped in such a way that it can only swing in one direction or tends to veer off to one side. Read the rest of this entry »

Your furniture arrangement should allow the chi to flow as smoothly as possible. Always place your furniture and decorative objects in simple, balanced configurations. It is best to position your furniture parallel to the walls. If your room is very large, however, you can position some pieces of furniture diagonally in the corners to create a feeling of roundness.

Avoid creating obstacles by putting too much furniture in a room or by using furniture that is too large for the space. Also, avoid arranging your furniture in ways that interfere with, or complicate, normal routines. Use common sense. Read the rest of this entry »
