Help/Guides - Dowsing Using Pendulums

Dowsing pendulums can be used to answer questions where the answer is either yes or no. Firstly it is necessary to find out how your pendulum will indicate the answers.

Hold the end of the chain with the pendulum hanging still below. Mentally ask the pendulum to give you a yes. Keep your mind blank and watch what the pendulum does. The dowsing pendulum may swing from side to side or circle in a certain direction. Note what it does. Stop the pendulum and repeat for a no. Once you are sure that you have the yes and no answers you can try asking the dowsing pendulum questions that you know the answers to, to give yourself confidence.

You can now ask yes/no questions. It is very important that your mind is as clear as possible when you are dowsing as your conscious mind can influence answers. If you have an idea in your mind the pendulum may give an answer because a particular answer is in your mind or it is what you would like to hear. You should also not ask private questions about other people.

The dowsing pendulum can only answer things that are known. For instance you can ask whether you have passed an exam after it has been marked but before you are told because the answer is known to the examiner. If you tried asking before then, the pendulum may give indeterminate or conflicting answers.

One way of being sure that your mind does not interfere with dowsing is to write a series of questions on pieces of paper. Fold them up so the writing can not be seen. Use the dowsing pendulum with each piece of paper in turn asking "Is the answer to this question yes?"
