Blue Aventurine Pendulum

What do you have to pay attention to when you use a pendulum?

• Find a quiet room where you won’t be disturbed (for example your zen room).
• Light a candle or put on some music. As long as it relaxes you.
• If you are a fan of scents, it is recommended that you burn some incense or oil.
• Make sure you are comfortable, either on the floor or at the table. In that case, place both feet on the ground. This will ensure a good grounding.
• Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Breathe in and out. This allows you to make contact with your subconscious.
• Ask yourself, “Am I willing to be open and honest with the information I am receiving?” Accept all the answers you receive. Expect the unexpected.

How do I use the pendulum?

Make sure your pendulum can move freely. So remove all obstacles around it. Next, hold the pendulum relaxed between the thumb and forefinger of your writing hand. Point your palm downward. Make sure your posture feels relaxed. For example, rest your elbow on the table. A pendulum answers your question with “yes” or “no. This is called positive and negative code. With everyone, the pendulum moves differently. So you have to find out which movement means ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for you. So you have a personal code. You find out by first asking only questions of which you already know the answer. These are simple questions like “Am I a woman?” or “Do I have a dog?”. In this way you calibrate the pendulum. This way, in time, it will relay your personal messages.

The rules when asking a question

There are some basic rules in asking a good question:

• Formulate questions as simple and concrete as possible (yes/no question)
• Ask only one question per sentence
• Always formulate the questions positively (do not ask questions from a negative emotion)

Cleaning and charging your pendulum

Gemstones are living material. You have to take good care of them. Keep your pendulum in a safe place, in a bag or box. Make sure you clean and charge it regularly. You do this to keep its energy at the right level. There are several ways to cleanse. For example, put the pendulum in a bowl of sea salt overnight. Or hold the gemstone (not the chain) under running water for a few minutes. It is best to dry the pendulum in the sun afterwards. In this way you charge it immediately. Also full moonlight gives your stone energy again.
