Hi all
Do you think it makes any difference what the pendulum is made out of? in the book the guy used a wooden one for illness of the body.
do you think you should use different ones made out of different things for different purposes?
Thanks

Jan,
There is a fantastic book called 'The Crystal Bible' by Judy Hall. In it the healing attributes of many semi-precious crystals & stones are listed. If you're looking to treat a certain malady, you could use a pendulum made from a corresponding gemstone.
But truth to tell, if you don't want to go to the trouble & expence of amassing a boatload of pendulums, just use the one that speaks to your Healers Soul. Personally, I have but one pendulum that I keep with me in my purse & use for everything. It works well for me & that's all that matters, really. Mine is made of Green Aventurine. I held a few different kinds of pendulums in my hands one by one when I bought it, but the green just sang to the Healer in me.
Little did I know that the attributes for Green Aventurine were:
"...a comforter and heart healer, and general harmonizer, protecting the heart. It brings things back into control and is useful in malignant conditions. It settles nausea and dissolves negative emotions and thoughts. An all-around healer, bringing in well-being and emotional calm."
All aventurine have many general attributes, too numerous to write out. Pick up the book; it's wonderful!
On the subject of dowsing, I have also trained in using metal rods, mainly to find Ley lines. Funny story - the summer evening my study group & I were using them in a large park, our instructor did a little experiment for fun. She told one lady, who is trained in Reiki, to just stand still & the instructor walked towards her so the rods would react when they hit the outer boundries of her aura. She got about 10 feet from her. Instructor then backed way up & told my friend to channel Reiki Energy outward from herself in all directions. Instructor couldn't get any closer than 35 feet before the rods reacted.
Funny, too, that just last week that same instructor & I were having coffee & she mentioned that she had tried dowsing with her pendulum regarding a job opportunity, but that she was too close & connected to the outcome, so the answer wasn't forthcoming. I asked if she'd like me to dowse for her; yes. Had her write out the questions on paper, then I dowsed over it. She's been too impatient about when the opportunity will happen. The answers came quickly, & I also wrote out a possible timetable & dowsed on that. The answer came back that it would happen after the first of the year. I told her to be patient, circled the answer & turned it so she could read it. She just shook her head at her own human nature.
Now I haven't read the thread with the basic dowsing lesson in it, but I'd like to caution anyone to create a protective boundry around themselves every time they do any dowsing. This can be as simple as using Thought Energy to clear & fortify ones aura, or by saying the Prayer of Light.
Blessings!
