Animal Healing and Gemstone Therapy- The Pendulum Method:

Pendulums come in all different types of materials, shapes and sizes. They are beautifully crafted from expensive gemstones, crystals, wood and metals to a piece of thread tied to a metal nut, washer, paper clip or your necklace with its pendant on it. The only requirement is that it feels comfortable in your hand and that the string be long enough to wrap around your finger at least once and that it is balanced and hangs even. Most will tell you to hold it between you thumb and forefinger letting it hang directly below – but this is awkward for me. It is most comfortable to me to wrap it at least once around my forefinger and then place my thumb over the top letting it hang down past my fingers. But either way is okay, just make sure that it hangs free and swings free. Once you select your pendulum you are ready to begin. Sit down and get comfortable. Your mind and body should feel relaxed with no stress. pendulum You can rest your elbow on a table in front of you allowing the pendulum to swing free - or you can hold your arm in a horizontal position again allowing your pendulum to swing freely. You do not have to be psychic to use a pendulum. It will guide itself. It is moved by either your thoughts or someone in spirit who works through you - generally your spirit guide. The first step is to get the feel of the pendulum and how it will move for you. Pendulums movements: - straight line - side to side or front and back - circles - clockwise or counterclockwise - elliptical motion Most questions asked when using a pendulum have Yes or No answers. You must determine the direction your pendulum will take for Yes and for No. Hold the pendulum in your hand. With the other hand - touch the point to steady its motion. It is up to you, but you may wish to say a short prayer of protection, surround yourself with white light, request help or guidance from your angels or guides, or just request that the information come only through your highest consciousness. I personally call on Archangel Michael for clarity. Keep your eyes on the point. Now address the pendulum and say, "Show me 'Yes'." It will soon swing in one direction - which could be side to side, back and forth, or circles. There is no right or wrong. I always get circles for yes and diagonal back and forth swings for no. Some people will get clockwise circles for yes and counter-clockwise for no. Do not try to predetermine what direction it will go just wait and let the pendulum show you which is correct for you. Now say, "Show me No." It should swing in the opposite direction. Be certain the pendulum is not being guided by the movement of your hand or fingers. Once you have determined the pattern for Yes and No - you are ready to begin. The larger the circle or the faster the movement of the pendulum, the stronger the energies, the more emphatic the response. You can use it anywhere. When you ask your questions you may want to record the answers. Now you are ready to begin to ask your questions. Make sure they are very specific and not general. Do not ask either or questions. Remember to only ask a question ONCE. If the motion of your pendulum increases - or the circles get large - the energy is increasing and you can expect change linked to the question you were asking. Pursue further questions to get additional information. We are going to keep it simple and ask the question directly from the animal. Place one hand on the animal and hold the pendulum out with your other hand. Set your intent as finding the stone that will best help this animal. Ask “Is (read name of stone) the perfect stone for (animal’s name) right now (rather than list health or emotional issue)?” Write down response. After you have gone through entire list, if you received a yes to more than one stone, then you ask “Does (animal’s name) need more than one stone at this time?” If you receive a yes, then ask how many, One? Two? etc until you receive a yes on the number then you will know how many you are looking for. Then just start the procedure over only you are asking for the perfect stones. If you receive a no, then the animal needs only one stone, and then you will go back over the stones again that you received a yes, asking for the perfect ONE for the animal now and go with the one that you receive the strongest reading. It sounds difficult, but with practice it gets easier. The main thing to remember is NOT to TRY to pick the stone, but let the pendulum do it for you and not to repeat it over and over until you dirty the waters or confuse the results. The main steps are: * Pick the pendulum * Clear yourself and surround yourself with light * Set your intent * Allow the answers to come without influence-write them down do not try to go from memory.
