Spirit Pendulum: A Complete Guide for Beginners

Last Updated: March 20, 2023

Are you curious about communicating with the spirit world? All you need is a pendulum to get started. We'll walk you through everything you need to know, so you can start conversing with your spirit guide.

1

Find a quiet, private place.

Make sure it's somewhere you can relax and concentrate.

2

Choose an object that has meaning to you.

Make sure it can be attached to a string. This allows for easy, smooth, swinging movement.
- To communicate with your spirit guide, the first thing that you should do is get in the habit of listening to yourself, and that requires concentration.
- You can also purchase a pendulum if you prefer, but be cautious about choosing one made up of stones. It is better to choose one that is made of brass or other metals. Stones have their own energy which might interfere with clear movement. Sit at a table or have a flat surface on your lap.

3

Close your eyes and visualize.

See yourself having a conversation with someone who has passed to spirit. Someone you love would be ideal, for instance.

4

Hold your pendulum out and talk to your spirit messenger.

Ask your spirit messenger to indicate a "yes" for you. Notice the movement of the pendulum.
- Gently tap the pendulum on the surface in front of you and say "thank you". Do the same process again for "Yes" and "I don't know, or wouldn't want to say at this time".

5

Begin asking questions of your spirit guide.

Make sure you know what the movements of the pendulum mean. Keep in mind that all information must come through your higher self. Even when trying to talk to your spirit guides, the answers will still come through you. The best way to get in the habit of getting information from your spirit guide is to practice asking them to yourself.

Don't make this a parlour game! This is a serious, spiritual undertaking, and it is not to be used to entertain friends or impress. Any ego attachment here could lead to misinformation and costs to your spiritual development.
