Pendulum

The pendulum is composed of a small object attached to the end of a wire or chain, it can be made of stone, wood, or metal.

• Stone pendulums charge themselves with the energies of their user, which creates a strong and lasting bond that is difficult to achieve on such a large scale with other varieties. They are highly valued by therapists who find them more meaningful than other pendulums. However, it is important to choose a well-cut and well-balanced stone to ensure perfect stability, so as not to distort the answers.

• Wooden pendulums are very well balanced, as they are most often machine-cut, and they have a slightly natural feel, but you have to be careful because not all woods are equal and they tend to be too light, therefore not very responsive and do not absorb the user's load.

• As metal pendulums are industrially made, they are perfectly balanced and naturally heavier, but you have to be careful that they are not too heavy so as not to cause muscle tension. Lovers of handmade or natural things don't like them too much.

The pendulum uses the magnetism emitted by the human body or its immediate environment to function.

The act of penduluming is part of the field of dowsing, which is the ability to detect radiation through the development of one's sensitivity. The pendulum serves to make the message of more subtle planes visible.

When we use a pendulum, we connect with a source of information greater than what our consciousness can usually grasp.

Many different techniques exist, the main one being to hold the thread firmly without being taut and allowing maximum freedom of movement for the weight.
