Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 Sherrie said Ooops - I'm too new I guess - check it out with a pendulum? Can you give us a little on that? I know there's lots of other even newer newbies that might need to know, too. Hi Sherri Here is some info about pendulums. I'll also include a web site that has a picture of one but it may not be allowed within the guidelines of this newsgroup although I have no axe to grind for this particular site - just found it in my travels one day and it happened to be the same as the one I bought from my local health shop. Anyway, just in case, I have copied the explanation given on that site between the ******** below. ******************************* QUESTION: What is a pendulum? ANSWER: A pendulum is a weight suspended by a string held between thumb and index finger. QUESTION: What can a pendulum do? ANSWER: The pendulum has a mystical ability to make subtle mental changes visible by changing its swinging patterns. QUESTION: How does this work? ANSWER: There are many theories, both ancient and modern. The pendulum is a device of extraordinary balance and seems to react to knowledge which is not yet in the conscious mind. Almost any person, after a short time, can control the pendulum with his/her mind. http://www.dynamoh.com.au/html/pendulum.html ******************************* I do have a pendulum like the one in the picture but that's only because I like it. A pendulum can be anything attached to a piece of cotton/chain or whatever - like a crystal or a pendant or a ring ... something like that. I've even used a keyring in the past. The pendulum will swing clockwise, anti-clockwise, forward and back or side to side depending on the answer. First you have to find out what is " yes " " no " and " don't know " for you. You do this by holding the pendulum and saying the word " yes " out loud. Rest your elbow on the table to keep your hand steady. Eventually the pendulum will start to swing in a particular direction. Make a note of that and then try " no " and " don't know " . It can be different for different people. My " yes " is clockwise, " no " anti-clockwise and " don't know " back/forth. My husband's " yes/no " is the opposite with his " don't know " being side to side. Once this is established you can ask it questions. For instance by holding a bottle of EO in your hand and saying " is this good for me today " . I have even used one with my EO bottles in a circle and in this case the pendulum will swing back and forth over the one that is right. It may sound rather bizarre but I tell you it works. It works I guess in the same way that kinesiology or muscle testing works, where a question is asked and the muscle will hold strongly for " yes " and not hold for " no " . It's good to start with something quite light as your pendulum because it will move more easily. It takes a little bit of practice. Once you've worked out your directions, ask a question you KNOW is a " yes " and so on to test it out. Once you've got it working then you need to try and clear your mind before asking a question to avoid consciously influencing the movement. I use it a lot for myself and for doing oil blends as a confirmation of whether a particular oil is good for a particular person because so many oils have similar healing properties. I have used it to decide what oils to put into hand/face lotions for gifts for friends, where I like different smells to them. A classic is where I did one for two friends who share a house. They each love the smell of their own lotion but hate the smell of the other person's. I did this by thinking about the person and using my instinct and testing with the pendulum to make a choice. Just another alternative way of doing things I guess to enhance all the written material that's available.
