A Tool For Soul Communications,

The Pendulum

Copyright by: Matt Vooro

There is perhaps no spiritual technique that is more under valued than the use of the pendulum. Relatively easy to learn and safe to use, pendulum is one of the many keys to learn to communicate with our subconscious mind and through it to reach higher levels of awareness. Most of us receive a steady stream of information that does not come through the regular five physical senses.

Depending on one’s core belief system and sensitivity, these other messages may not reach the conscious mind or may be rejected by the conscious mind because of our inner programming. Why is it so important to communicate with one’s subconscious mind? Because it is the link to our superconscious mind and to the higher powers and the creative energies within us. It can help us to establish a link with our own Soul or the God Spark within us.

What is a pendulum?

A pendulum is basically any simple object or weight suspended on a string, which is held between the thumb and the first or forefinger]. The movement of the weight in response to questions provides a yes or no answer. The meaning of specific movements of the weight have been previously agreed upon by the pendulum operator and his/her subconscious.

The agreed upon meaning of the movements can also be expanded to include circular motion, forward and backward motion, left and right motion, series of directions or the use numbers. The pendulum acts like a very fine tuning device to a variety of frequencies and energies around us. It amplifies the signals detected by our nervous system and interprets the meaning of the message based on the codes already agreed upon up front.

The degree of attunement as well as accuracy of the answers obtained with this device depends on the sensitivity, training and spiritual evolvement of the operator.

The higher your consciousness, the higher the frequencies that the pendulum can pick up. However it does take some time to train and evolve the required sensitivity for this technique. For many, it can take a year or more to develop a degree of proficiency and trust with this device.

Where and how can I learn to use the pendulum?

It is not the intent here to write an article on how to use the pendulum for spiritual growth. There are many excellent books now on the market describing in detail how to do this. Greg Nielsen has presented some excellent material on this topic. 

The writer merely wishes to share his own positive experience in using this device to attune to his soul and to explore higher spiritual dimensions. For those just learning to attune to their soul vibration, the pendulum might be a technique worth looking into. Each of us needs to find our own special method that best works for us.

I have experimented with a variety of pendulum weights including crystals, other gemstones and various metal pendulums. I now prefer to use a wooden ebonite pendulum because of its response and lighter weight. I also experimented with different lengths of string and found that six inches of a good quality string worked the best for me.

The greatest accuracy was achieved on questions relating to the writer himself. Often I used the pendulum in conjunction with dream analysis and dream recall to seek guidance on interpreting dreams. The biggest challenge was to remain emotionally neutral and not try to influence the result in order to get the answer that I hoped for. Also phrasing my questions to keep them clear and specific was an initial hurdle.

Using the pendulum on my work desk where my PC hard drive, monitor, radio and low-level lamp are located was another big mistake. Asking for firm answers about the future where many probabilities still exist was another learning experience.

Getting different answers to the same question on different days was also troublesome until I understood that one might tune into different energies on different days. The pendulum was less accurate in areas that my personal knowledge was limited, or I felt uncomfortable with or I had an impure motive for asking the question. Had I purchased a good pendulum book up front, I could have avoided some of my problems.

Later I expanded the use of the pendulum to cover other issues of interest or concerns of mine. Still later I expanded the use further by asking the subconscious to connect me to my own soul frequencies and other dimensions.

This area is still one of trial and error and learning for me personally. Currently I have found that holding a selenite wand [about 3-4 inches long] in my left hand while using the pendulum in the right hand has greatly enhanced the communications with my higher consciousness. The use of a Dow quartz crystal [3-7-3-7-3-7 sides per face pattern] is also very powerful for certain type of communications for me.

Currently I try to maintain a daily dialogue with my soul and occasionally seek guidance and advice from other higher sources on other dimensions. Achieving soul contact does not mean full soul consciousness but it is a step in that direction.

In the past I have experimented with other spiritual techniques but speaking from a personal point of view only, I still found the best results for me when using the pendulum together with quiet meditation, mantramic prayers, and dream analysis. Jaguar wisdom and palmistry also gave consistently accurate and helpful results for me when analyzing inherit soul traits.

Reality speaks to each of us in many ways. Each of us needs to experiment and explore what works the best for us individually. We are all different and what works for one may be a real struggle for another. The pendulum is a safe technique that can be used by almost anyone with a desire and discipline to make it work. 

Our physical body is like a pendulum connected to the silver cord of our etheric body. We just need to attune to the energies around and about us to get the messages. The pendulum is like a fine tuning device that helps us to do that.
