Ever played the game ‘Let me guess the gender of your kids’ with friends? You used a chain, held over someone’s hands and if it oscillated, it was a boy and if it rotated it was a girl? Well, that was pendulum dowsing.
A pendulum is a swinging device made of crystal or metal hanging from a chain, which is hand held. Pendulum dowsing is a technique which is used by people to locate water, minerals, lost objects and even for predicting the future. It is an ancient art of divination and dates back to the 15th century where it was essentially used for locating metals and minerals. Today advanced techniques and equipments are available in the market and you can be a dowser too.
What’s the Science behind Pendulum Dowsing?
Energy is omnipresent. It is said that the pendulum acts as an antenna to pick up signals from the surrounding and transmits it to us, which is picked up as electrical signals by the brain. It is an equivocal question on how it actually works. But since this art is still prevailing, we can assume that pendulum dowsing does have some success rate. Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci were some of the well known dowsers of the past century.
How to Become an Effective Pendulum Dowser?
To use the pendulum for proper dowsing, you need to follow the simple steps here:
- Relax your mind; only then can you concentrate better.
- The sub-conscious mind can neither perceive nor produce any information. So be alert.
- Discard any disbelief that you might be harboring in your mind. This will only distract you more.
- While holding the pendulum, do not try to make it swing. Let it take its own course.
With these simple steps, your mind is now ready to dowse. Let us look into the techniques of actual pendulum dowsing.
Pendulum Dowsing Techniques
To interpret the response of your pendulum, you need to do the following:
- Take a sheet of paper and draw all the eight directions, clockwise and anti-clockwise direction arrows.
- Take the pendulum in your hands, hold it by its string and give a good suspension length (1 foot – 3 feet). There is no specific length. Just suit yourself.
- Now comes the difficult part. Look at the pendulum and ‘order’ it to rotate or swing. Do this using your mind power and will and not your fingers. Be honest with yourself while you are performing this.
- Once you have successfully made your pendulum to dowse (which can take a while, even days to master) you can now move onto using the pendulum and interpreting its response for more serious reasons (predicting future, for self improvement, finding lost objects, locating deeper water veins, etc).
Pendulum dowsing is a divination art which if used properly can let you gain more positive vibes and let you live a quality life.
