Basic Dowsing with Pendulums

Pendulum dowsing is an ancient art of accessing information not available to us through the use of our senses.

Basic dowsing pendulum consists of a weight suspended on a flexible string, chain, etc. Any such combination will give radiesthetic (dowsing) reaction in the hand of a "sensitive" person. (In my opinion, only a very small percentage of people don't get any reaction, even after basic training.)

Why there are so many different pendulums? I think it's a matter of a personal preference, one dowsing pendulum is more suitable for one task, another one is more sensitive then others, some have special qualities that make dowsing tasks easier.

Pendulum dowsing basics

First we need to learn how to hold the pendulum. We use the thumb, the index and the middle finger of your dominant hand to hold the string or the chaing of a pendulum. (Some dowsers use only the thumb and the index finger).

We bend our wrist so that the fingers with the string or chain are close to vertical.

Now - we need to program the "yes" and "no" movement for our pendulum. Actually it is our subconscious mind that we program, not the pendulum.

We start by asking "what is the movement for the "yes" answer and the pendulum will start moving. Let it establish a clear pattern. It could be clockwise rotation, back and forth, or something else - it's individual. Now we do the same for the "no" answer. You can program other ansers after you have a chance to "play" with it for a while.

If your pendulum doesn't move at all - please try to take a few deep breaths and try not to control your muscles. There will be a movement in your arm, otherwise the pendulum couldn't move, but it's involuntary, so don't worry about it.

Pendulum dowsing is much more than asking yes and no questions, but this is the basic dowsing that you need to learn first.
