Pendulums, Pendulums

Happy 4th of July!

I often get questions about pendulums, selecting one, how to use them, specific crystals used for what, etc. I’ve been getting several again, as of late so I thought I’d write a bit about them here.

There are 2 main ways to work with pendulums:
1. Energy healing/balancing/clearing
2. Dowsing, aka divining

For either type of activity, I suggest you choose the pendulum that you feel drawn to intuitively. I often talk about the pendulum I used for over ten years which was nothing more than a dog tag chain and a washer…ugly but worked GREAT! So do some experimenting and find what works best for you. Some people like to have a pendulum with all the chakra stones on it for chakra balancing and some like to use a crystal that enhances intuition if they’re using it for dowsing, like amethyst. It’s totally up to you. There is no right or wrong.



Some people have asked me why some pendulums come with such a variation in chain length. As far as I know there is no specific purpose for the chain lengths, however if you will be working on a table, say with oracle cards and a pendulum, you may look for a shorter chain so it’s more comfortable. Then again, you can always wrap up the chain a little bit to make it shorter.

I teach an online class, Sensing Energy Using Crystals and Pendulums, in which we conduct several active exercises to view and sense energy and how to use pendulums to work with that energy along with an introduction to pendulums, learning how to use them in healing work while bringing you clarity and enlightenment, how to choose a pendulum as well as how to ask your questions, what type of information to seek plus much more. One invaluable resource that I lead my students to is available to everyone online for free. It’s called “Letter to Robin” and it’s essentially a comprehensive mini-course on how to use a pendulum...better than any book you could buy on the subject.

A while back I did this post on how to use a pendulum to find lost objects and I also linked to my YouTube video on the subject of pendulums. Hope all this helps others in getting what they need out of their pendulums. I would love to hear how all of you use your pendulums!!
