How to use your Pendulum - Basic information

  1. Hold the Pendulum comfortably in the fingers of your writing hand, with the chain and Bob hanging free over the center of the chart. Relax. Take a deep breath and relax even more.
  2. Get in touch with the playful, child part of yourself. Begin speaking directly to your "inner Child." Say: "Subconscious", or say "(your name), show me your 'Yes'."
  3. The Bob will start to move in any direction: back & forth, diagonally or in a circle. Whatever movement you get is your “Yes” direction from now on. It’s O.K. if your hand moves. Relax your arm.
  4. If it does not move say “Inner Child, (or “Subconscious”) please say ‘Yes’ louder, and move more so I can see it clearly.”
  5. If it still does not move, relax and be patient. Stop. Take a breath and relax. Visualize. Talk to your Inner Child. Explain to him/her that the Pendulum is a way you two can be in constant contact with each other. Demonstrate. Get agreement on using the Pendulum in your inner visualization.
  6. Ask for your “Yes” direction again. When there is a definite movement (which is the same each time you ask for “Yes”), then you can continue.
  7. Ask for your “No” direction the same way. Then ask for your “Maybe” direction. Relax. (The Bob must move, if it stays still it means nothing at this point.)
  8. Once you are satisfied that you have a  definite and different movement for each of the 3 answers (“Yes, No, Maybe”), then begin to experiment with your new Life Skill! A new world will open to you.
  9. Ask simple Physical questions. (Avoid Emotional Issues and questions about the Future until you are much more skilled… or have a friend do it for you. Avoid using the word "should", instead ask "is this (or that) in my best (or highest) interest?") Example: “Is it in my best interest to eat this cake?” or “Is this the best car for me?”
  10. Above all: Be Playful. Relax. Have Fun. Soon you will be comfortable “Asking Your Inner Child” for answers to all of your daily questions.
  11. Once you have these basics, you may wish to “clear” yourself or say a Prayer or set an Intention before Dowsing (for example: “I ask that this work be in the Light of GOD and in the Highest Interest of All concerned.”)
  12. This skill takes 2 minutes to learn, and benefits you for Life! You can always “ask your Pendulum” (really the Inner You) about your next learning steps such as Dowsing Workshops or Books!

Doorways to Intuition through Pendulum Dowsing

Let us say you or a friend have an Issue, Question, or Problem. When Pendulum Dowsing, you can divide the information you get into arbitrary categories or chunks in order to create a "map", or "picture" of the situation. Use this chart. As your Intuition opens up, more and more information becomes available to you earlier and earlier in the process.

  1. Write out the situation and question precisely. Phrase carefully. Add today's date.

  2. Place the Pendulum over the bottom center of the chart. 

  3. Ask: "Concerning (say your question), what is, what is the #1 category responsible for... "or" ...involved in this situation?". "What is the #2...?", etc.

  4. To fine-tune this process, use in combination with the Percentage Chart (item #PWC804) to discover what percentage of each situation is Physical, or Emotional, etc. For example, a problem may be 0% Physical, 80% Emotional, 10% Mental, and 10% Karmic. This begins to give you a clearer picture of possible remedies.

Physical - Situation is primarily from or rooted in the physical plane. Chakras and Dimensions: 0, 1 & 2
Emotional - Situation has to do with feelings: anger, resentment, jealousy, joy, compassion, fulfillment, etc. Chakras and Dimensions: 3 and 4.
Mental - Situation has to do with how you think about something; your mental attitude, judgments, decisions, choices. Chakras and Dimensions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; 13; & 16.
Karmic - Concerning results of your actions, usually past, but could be future; "What ye sow, so shall ye reap"; "What goes around comes around," i.e. your issue could be rooted earlier in this life or in a past life. Life's purpose issues.
Spiritual - Item at issue has to do with: Spiritual Work completed or neglected; unexplored potentials; Assistance from other, usually Higher Realms or need for such.
Other - Sometimes answers are outside the options you have created. "Other" allows you to go beyond the envelope.


Quantifying Your PENDULUM DOWSING for Clearer Results
For personal use only - © 2001, 2002, 2003 András Névai

When Pendulum Dowsing you are working initially with simple "Yes" or "No" answers. And since you often have complex questions, you need to find "handles" or 'doorways" into your Intuition. One of the first of these techniques is quantifying your questions or answers; giving them a number or a size. So, for example, if you find two brands of Vitamin C, both of which dowse as good for you, you can ask how many percent better one is than the other. Note: When using such a chart either a) State your Intention: Which level you want to work with ("ones", "tens", "hundreds", etc.) or b) Ask: "From which level are the answers coming?" (For example, "Is this 5 or 50?"

Percentage Chart for Pendulum Dowsing

After a while you'll be able to look at your Pendulum and, for example, you will instantly Know/Intuit that the angle is close to, or about 96%! In other words, as you get used to the different angles you'll need the chart less and less. Or let's say the answer looks to be about 40%-45%, yet you want to know exactly. Tell your Inner Child/Subconscious that each forward/back movement of the Pendulum is "1" and that when it's finished counting it should change to a Left/Right movement. Thus to get your exact number start a little below what you think the number might be, say "38", then count each time the Pendulum swings Back and Forth: "39", "40", "41", "42" and then it goes sideways. Now you know the exact number is 42 (or 42%). As with any new skill, the more you practice, the better and faster and more Intuitive you become!


Who Ya Gonna Call? "A" (When Pendulum Dowsing)

The single most important question (and the one most neglected) in Pendulum Dowsing is who you're talking to! Almost all Dowsers assume they know. Yet when asked they say "My Soul", "The Angels", "GOD". Actually, the Subconscious/Inner Child, which is like the telephone switchboard operator, is responsible for connecting you to other parts of yourself, and to other Beings. If you have a good relationship with your Inner Child  all goes well. If, however, you skipped lunch for that "very important meeting" your Inner Child/Body may be unhappy or even angry and uncooperative! Keep your Inner Child/Body happy at all times! Talk to him/her daily. Share views, negotiate disagreements, keep your promises! As you work with these various Parts-of-Self and with Higher Beings you will get to "sense" or "feel" their presence even before the Pendulum begins to move! Soon you will also know who handles what kinds of questions (Example: Basic Self knows about Survival/Food/Shelter/Career while High Self is interested in the Big Picture: Your Life's Purpose, Karma, Spiritual Life, etc.)

Elementals = Earth, Water, Fire, Air
Devas = Fairies, Elves - Baby Angels
Basic Self = Low Self, Subconscious, Inner Child, The Body
High Self = Superconscious, Soul
Guides = Spirit Guides - Once Incarnate
Consulting Guides (G+) = Specific Knowledge and Skills (Doctors, Lawyers)
Oversoul = The Soul of your Soul
Other = State who you want or ask who it is

  1. Write the date and your question carefully phrased. (Use "Is it in my Best Good?" or "... in my Highest Interest to..."; avoid conditional words like "Should"). Subconscious is like a computer & takes every word literally; it doesn't understand irony, joking, or slang. You may have to define what you are referring to by holding a mental image for your Subconscious. 

  2. Ask: "May I speak to High Self?" 

  3. "Is this High Self?"

  4. "Are you telling the Truth?" (If not, find out what's going on)

  5. "Is there anything in the way of 100% Truth?" (If Yes, find out what. Deal with it.)

  6. When all is clear, ask High Self who would be best to answer your question. The Pendulum will point to single Beings like Guides, or to groups of Beings. There may be several Groups answering (Example: Elementals, Devas, and Low Self are Group A, etc.)

  7. Ask your original question of each part or each group and note the answers, writing "A1" as "Answer #1 of Group A", "A2" as "Answer 2 of Group A", etc. Then "B1" is Answer #1 of "Group B" etc. Write A1, A2, B1, etc. next to the option the Pendulum points to!


Who Ya Gonna Call? "B"

If you have a question or a request that goes beyond the abilities, area of expertise, or area of responsibility of the Parts and Beings above then this Group may be of assistance. Before you proceed - a request and a  caution. First the request: Kindly be respectful, thoughtful, considerate and honoring of these Great Sacred Beings. For example: If you feel you are on a "Mission From GOD" and need help, by all means call the ArchAngel Michael. But if you're simply upset about your new boyfriend, it's a job for your Inner Child, Your High Self and your Guides. Second, the caution: Always clear yourself by a.) setting your Intention and b.) Saying a Prayer or Invocation  before Dowsing. And even after clearing use judgment and  discernment  with any answers you get. Be especially cautious with Extra-Terrestrials and Extra-Dimensionals. Many are Loving and Benevolent yet some are not, in spite of how "nice" they may appear. When in doubt call the Angels or whomever you pray to, for assistance. If unsure, don't go there!... Wait till you're more experienced.

ArchAngels = Creator Sons
Angels = God's Messengers & Assistants
Ascended Masters = Our "Elder" Brothers & Sisters of Light
Extra-Terrestrials (Et's) = Benevolent or Malevolent
Extra-Dimensionals (Ed's) = Benevolent or Malevolent
Other = State who you want or Ask who it is
