One of the most commonly used tools for definition and dowsing is a pendulum. The art of using a pendulum is something that anyone can learn, and enjoy experimenting with. The pendulum is a very simple tool and one that lets the user tune into their intuition. The pendulum acts as a receiver and transmitter of information and moves in different ways in response to questions.

Pendulum dowsing can be used in a variety of different ways. In its most simple form, you can use it to answer questions or aid and decision making and even to find water or ley lines (Dowsing rods are often used for this too, which work in a similar way to a pendulum.)

Pendulums: How to prepare your pendulum upon arrival!

• Holistic healers use a pendulum for measuring energy fields or as a dowsing tool for divination purposes.
• Choosing a Pendulum: It is important to allow a pendulum to choose you, rather than the other way around. 
• Cleansing the Pendulum: Cleansing the pendulum can be done by holding it under running cold tap water, soaking it in sea salt, or setting a mental intention to free it of possible picked up energies. After cleansing the pendulum, carry it around with you to see how it feels.
• Understand the Directional Swings: Pendulums swing in vertical straight lines, horizontal straight lines, and in circular movements. This can be done side-by-side, front and back, clockwise, counterclockwise, in an elliptical motion, or even in a bobbing movement up and down, which often indicates a strong affirmative action.
• Define the Directional Swings: Assign each directional swing a "response" by first asking the pendulum to show you what certain responses look like. For example, start off by asking, "What does a NO look like?" and subsequently, "What does a YES look like?" Posing these questions to your pendulum will help define directional swings, which must happen before advancing to more challenging questions.
• Prepare Questions: A question should be one that can be answered with a positive, negative or neutral response.
