Pendulum Induction
Pendulums can be used instead of ideomotor signals to find answers to questions which remain at the subconscious level, but as the subject intensely focuses on the pendulum it can also often produce an altered state of consciousness that can take your client into a nice hypnotic trance.
You can purchase pendulums from New Age shops or make your own by hanging an object such as a finger ring or an iron washer onto a piece of thread or chain, about 8 inches in length.
I'd like you to hold the thread between your thumb and forefinger whilst you listen to the sound of my voice. Now there are four basic movements that the pendulum makes, these are a clockwise circle, counter clockwise circle, backwards and forwards across in front of you or in and out away from you, so hold your arm out please and just focus your eyes on the pendulum itself - the part of it that is hanging from the thread (or chain).
And first of all I'd like to establish with your subconscious mind that it is alright for us to use this method to access the information that you require from your inner mind - and to do this we will set up some Yes and No signals.
In your mind, I want you to ask your subconscious mind a question to which you know that the answer is a definite Yes - and watch for the direction it takes. So ask this in your mind now - and keep your eyes totally and completely focused on the pendulum whilst you wait to see which direction it takes.
(Watch for movement) - good now which movement does that appear to be taking to you? Just to verify this I want you to ask your subconscious mind a different question that you also know the answer to be Yes. Let's make sure the direction is still the same - okay - so ask it now, in your mind.
Now I'd like you to ask a different question to which you know that the answer is a definite No. And again - let's see which direction the pendulum swings. (Wait for response and verify this with your subject).
That's good - now the pendulum swings (direction) for Yes - and (direction) for No. And if it's alright for you to enter a nice comfortable trance - the pendulum will swing to the direction of Yes. (Wait for confirmation).
If you encounter a No response then you must ask questions to establish why the inner mind is resisting - for example, is (name of subject) afraid/nervous/worried about being hypnotized - and work through these issues.
If you establish a positive response then your subject is already halfway there - and you can continue deepening with the pendulum as follows.
Good - now keep your eyes gently focused on the pendulum as it swings from side to side - first to the left - then to the right - then back to the left - and back to the right (this should be timed to the movements of the pendulum)
You will find that as the pendulum swings to the left - you will feel more and more deeply relaxed - and as it swings to the right - you'll become heavier and sleepier - and as it swings back to the left - you go even deeper and deeper relaxed - and as it swings to the right - you find your eyes become heavy - perhaps beginning to blink more and more - as you go deeper and deeper into gentle hypnotic rest - deeper and deeper with each word that is uttered.
You're becoming more relaxed with each word that you hear and with each movement of the pendulum you feel heavier, sleepier and so much more comfortable - and you may find your mind wandering away to some pleasant thoughts and feelings - if so - that's okay - just let yourself drift - deeper and deeper into gentle hypnotic trance.
And very soon - that pendulum can swing all on it's own - and as your eyes comfortably close - you find it takes no effort whatsoever to allow them to remain closed - you can still the pendulum up there on the screen of your mind - look up now - and notice it moving from side to side - taking you deeper and deeper into gentle hypnotic rest.
And the pendulum swings even wider apart - so you may have to move your head slightly to the left and a little further to the right to follow the pendulum - but you can still see it clearly in your mind - going backwards and forwards - to and fro - or from side to side - taking you deeper and deeper into hypnosis.
Continue this way until you see a slight movement of the head, indicating that your client is visualising the movement of the pendulum - and then proceed with suggestions or visualization.  Assembled by "DiamondGirl"
