One of the most commonly used tools for personal growth, divination, consciousness expansion, and dowsing practices is a pendulum.
A pendulum is a symmetrical, weighted objected that is hung from a single cord or string. Pendulums are made from many materials, from semi-precious gemstones and metal, to beautiful woods. Each material provides unique properties that amplify the use of the pendulum.
When choosing a pendulum, consider what materials will best enhance your intended practice.
When using a pendulum, you are accessing Divine guidance from your higher self, intuition, subconscious mind, or spirit guides. By default, a pendulum reacts to your subconscious mind, so it is necessary to always specify the source before asking questions.
As with any form of divination, using a pendulum involves a certain degree of faith, belief and openness.
Pendulums are based on the belief that we are more connected to spirit, higher consciousness, and divinity than we may perceive.
For energy healing purposes, crystal pendulums are an excellent choice. Since crystals each encompass their own metaphysical properties, choosing the right stone will magnify the energies of your practice.
For divination purposes, crystals that conduct higher spiritual energies while protecting against negative frequencies are imperative to use.
Many people like to use clear quartz crystals for divination purposes because they are associated with clarity and balance.
Onyx is an excellent crystal to use when you are seeking protection during your session. For chakra balancing therapies, a crystal like selenite is ideal because of its ability to cleanse the aura. If you are looking for a pendulum to deal with matters of the heart, like relationships, rose quartz will be perfect for you.
