Pendulums are made to freely swing from a point.
They may be made of any object or substance. Paper pendulums are just as
effective as heavy metal, crystal or rock pendulums. The heavy portion
of the pendulum free to move is called the bob or the plumb. The bob or
plumb hangs down and is suspended from a thread made of cloth, leather, metal
or plastic wire, string or rope. The material used to make the pendulum
is up to the individual. The thread is hand in the hand by the fingers
in such a manner as to allow the pendulum to swing freely.
Pendulums can be made to swing vertically,
horizontally, diagonally up to the right, diagonally up to the left, or in a
clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The direction of the
swing may be controlled consciously by the person holding the thread. It
may also be controlled by that person's subconscious mind. Therein lies
the problem.
People holding the pendulum, if not properly
trained, may consciously or unconsciously control the movement of the
pendulum. This defeats the purpose. The purpose of using a
pendulum is to obtain answers from the subconscious mind while the
subconscious mind is in contact with our own True Self or the Divine.
Unfortunately, those observing us while we're using a pendulum don't know if
we're in contact with our subconscious mind, imagination, conscious mind or
unconscious mind.
For that reason, the Modern Essene Fellowshiprecommends using pendulums to confirm the response received from some other
source such as Essene Kinesiology, spirit guides, guardian angels and our own
Higher Self.
To use the pendulum, first train yourself and your
pendulum. Do this for each pendulum you use. It's also a good idea
to confirm this before each pendulum session. Suspend the pendulum
comfortably in front of you where it can move unobstructed and you can observe
its movement. Ask the pendulum to say yes. Wait for it to move and
observe its movement. Make a note of how the pendulum moved to indicate a
"yes" response.
For most people this is a vertical movement away
and toward the person holding the pendulum. For some people it may be a
horizontal movement back and forth in from of the person. Occasionally,
it may be either a clockwise or counter-clockwise movement. Seldom, it
turns out to be a diagonal movement, either up to the right or up to the left.
Whatever sign the pendulum uses, make a note of it.
Once you know what the pendulum does for a "yes"
response, ask it to say no and note the response. These are the only two
messages used by most pendulum practitioners. However, you may also use
create and use other commands such as maybe yes, maybe no, undecided,
undetermined or any other nuance of yes and no the operator desires.
Once you know the movements and responses used by
this pendulum, use it. You use a pendulum by asking a question with a
yes or no response. The pendulum will respond.
If you want to receive accurate messages and keep
both your imagination and conscious mind out of the process, you need to
prepare yourself for a pendulum session through meditation, contemplation,
attunement activation followed by prayer, or deep devotion. The Essene
Healing Breath is an excellent preparation for a pendulum session
anytime during the day. Activating your Essene Healing Hands of Love or
your Essene Healing Eyes of Love is also recommended for this purpose.
Intentional Prayer is also recommended.
The use of a pendulum in any Essene Healing
session is optional and never required.
