Timing
It is important to know that in some instances it is better not to try to get answers from a pendulum. You may get wrong answers or no answers at all.
This is when you are sick, exhausted, angry, agitated, disturbed by the presence of others (others are not automatically a disturbing factor).
Ladies in their childbearing age should not attempt a pendulum test during the time lasting from ovulation till 4 days after the onset of their menstrual flow.
Beginners should remove metal objects from their person before trying to use a pendulum (earrings, watches etc). With a little practice this will not be necessary anymore.
The Pendulum itself
Although all types of pendulums may be used, some are more sensitive than others and it might be well worth experimenting with several types until you find a pendulum that you feel comfortable with. Keep in mind that your favourite pendulum is not the only one that works. They all work! But when you start practising it is better to do it with a pendulum that allows you to clearly understand the result.
To emphasize the answers, it is better to use a pendulum whose weight is made of iron, copper or brass. The weight should be equally balanced so as not to lean a particular way.
It will be easier to determine the answer if it is not hanging from a chain. A string or a length of nylon fishing line is fine. 10-20 cms length is best (but it works with alonger or shorter string).
You may hold the end of the string but you may feel more confident that you are not influencing the result if you tie the end to a wide ring that you slip over le middle finger or your right hand.
You may concentrate faster if nobody else but you uses this pendulum.
Training
You may need a training period. MAY! If you are asking questions about a physiological response in yourself, the answers are quite clear.
To train yourself, choose a time when you are quiet and alone. You first have to determine which way the pendulum swings for saying YES, and NO.
You try different questions you know the answer to :
Is this salt? Is my name Deb? Please say YES. Is this cup yellow? etc
You will find out how it swings when it means YES and NO. This is different for different people. It is opposite in general for men (YES clockwise) and women (YES anticlockwise). And it is different from time to time so you will always have to start a testing session by asking the pendulum to show how it says YES.
Do the same for NO.
Do not ask stupid questions! Questions which are not well formulated, which you do not know the answer to, which pertain to other people of the future etc!! This is not a divination course. A pendulum may be a tool for divination just as a crystal ball maybe, but you need a very high level of concentration to turn it into this.
If you are asking this type of questions, no wonder you cannot get answers! Stick to the basics!
The pendulum may swing clockwise, anticlockwise, diagonally, straight. Depends on the person and how you hold it. Once you know how it says YES for you, that's it.
It will nurture your confidence and rapidly you can start testing food.
MSG &
Aspartame Testing
Now you are used to pulling out your pendulum and it does not feel strange. You know when it says YES and when it says NO. You also know when the pendulum (you in fact) isn't sure.
It is best every time you start asking questions, that your first question be : Please say YES. If you are not in a fit state to use the pendulum you will not get a firm answer.
If you always start with "Please say YES", this will form a habit that will induce immediate quiet and concentration. I found that it was a bit difficult at first to get answers but after a few days practice the "Please say YES" question induced the proper state after a couple of seconds.
You do not have to ask the question aloud. Just think of your question silently. BUT do NOT think of several questions at the same time!
To test any stuff, just put your hand over it (no need to touch it) and ask :
- "Is there
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) in this?" This answers also hydrolized items and all forms of MSG. BUT it also answers positive if the
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) is natural! It says YES for tomatoes! If it says YES I then ask : "Is there artificial
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) in this?"
- "Is there
Aspartame in this?"
- "Are there pesticides in this?" I buy only organic so nice to know when I am being ripped off.
- "Are there
preservatives in this?" If you buy expensive organic lettuce you don't expect that it be sprayed with
preservatives do you. It often is unfortunately, by someone on the way from producer to buyer.
Refinement : When I get a YES answer, I can also find out if there is a lot of the stuff inside. Questions : "Is there more than 40% MSG in this", "more than 50% MSG in this?" etc. I know it sounds strange and it is a strange formulation for the question but it can help you choose between two products if you are ready to use a shampoo with 3% MSG rather than with 40%!
I do not get a clear answer for items wrapped in waxed paper (like butcher's paper) or waxed cardboard (like washing powder). It may be the same for you. It may be that you find some other type of wrapping a problem. It the beginning you should test things wrapped and unwrapped to find out if some wrappings are opaque for you.
WARNING : It is a bit tiring at first. Do not overdo it. To overcome that problem I had started asking general questions like "Is there
Aspartame in that fridge?" It works, but no as well as individual testing if the amount is tiny.
Emergencies
You can also ask if you feel unwell : "Did I take MSG today (yesterday-this morning-at lunch etc?" - Aspartame -
preservatives - pesticides - etc
"Was it something I ate? I drank? I touched? I smelled?
Prepare for a real SHOCK! I had thought I led an MSG free life and despaired because I wasn't completely feeling well. Now I know the difference.
Test everything that goes into your mouth (food, beverages, medicines), onto your skin (toileteries), into your lungs (perfumes, cigarettes).
The Big Clean Up + Practice
Remember : every time you test stuff, you are actually practising, and slowly and steadily improving your sensitivity. Every time you test stuff, you are removing poison from your life!
At first, testing everything in the house is necessary and is a huge task. Do it a little at a time over a week or two and in a systermatic manner otherwise you will get poisoned by surprise in 3 months time when you use that box of X which was standing in your cupboard. If you do not have the heart to throw away the poisoned stuff for financial reasons, never mind! At least you are NEVER going to buy more of the same!
Do not overdo it because it can become tiring as there is so much to test. If you are two or more in your family, do check your results with the others members. This will help you build confidence if you are a person unaccustomed to making up his/her own mind without support from others.
This will soon change when you find out and nurture you own powers of detection. You will be proved right again and again and this will have a sneaky effect on your life!
Two positions
I have started with Position #1 and it worked fine from the start. But I have been advised that Position #2 is also possible and may work better with some people, so I give you both.
- Position #1
You are sitting in a quiet spot. Do not cross your legs (optional - maybe better for some). Lower your left hand over the stuff you want to test. Rest the right elbow on the table. Take the string of your pendulum with the fingers of your right hand (slip the ring over your middle finger and extend the hand horizontally, with the palm parallel to the table).
Look at the weight of your pendulum, which should be allowed to become still (or nearly). Ask your question. The weight will start to move, not immediately. The more difficult the question the longer it takes for the weight to move. If there are many ingredients in a product, the pendulum takes more time than if there are only two ingredients for example.
At first the pendulum may very often swing towards YES, then change its mind and firmly say NO. The answer is NO, clearly.
- Position #2
This is a standing position. You put your left hand over the stuff you want to test. You right elbow is at your right side, not touching the body. Your forearm is parallel to the ground and your hand is in the axis of your forearm, a bit away from you, as though your forearm were the hand of a clock saying 2 o'clock.
You start your pendulum by giving it a swing into a clockwise direction. your pendulum will swing in a clockwise circle and eventually come to swing in an arc, either in prolongation of your arm (generally meaning YES - but check before!) or across your wrist (generally meaning NO).
There is nothing more to it (apart for asking the right questions, and not thinking eagerly of another question in your mind whilst you are do this).
Good luck and best wishes for your health!
