A pendulum is perhaps one of the more recognised symbols of modern spiritual practice. It is often very elegant, and typically very personal to the psychic, who will likely have chosen the materials very carefully. Very often the pendulum is made from metal, wood or crystal suspended on a chain, the piece can often be worn as jewellery.
Answers Through Directional Swings
For those that wear and utilise a pendulum in their spiritual practise, it provides a quiet power of guidance, reassurance and connection. The pendulum has in fact been used for spiritual insights, psychic and intuitive discovery for centuries. It responds to subtle energy movements, often answering questions through directional swings.
It is easy for sceptics to assume that the pendulum movements are somehow influenced by the subconscious, but spiritual practitioners beg to differ. Instead, believing that the pendulum acts as a sort of bridge between higher consciousness, intuition and energetic awareness.
Pause – Question – Reflect
We can thank social media, for quietly reviving and introducing psychic techniques to the masses. In an increasingly fast-paced world, it is no wonder that many people find themselves searching for moments of quiet and stillness and a better way to reflect inward. The pendulum can offer just that – providing a pause, a chance to ask a question if needed, and then an opportunity to listen inwardly.
Working with a pendulum, is not like psychic readings interpreted in modern TV and movies, it is a deeply intuitive and thoughtful activity, and a much gentler way to approach the uncovering of emotional truths, finding energetic blockages and assessing different paths and direction your life could take.
Pendulum & Telephone Readings
You might be surprised to know that pendulum work can still form part of a telephone reading, in fact without the visual distraction, a caller may find themselves more emotionally and spiritually open. The calm rhythm of the pendulum will guide the conversation, providing a comforting and grounding experience. If this interests you, then try giving Aelissa (PIN: 4444), Andy (PIN: 3399) or Pauline (PIN: 3798) a call.
Psychic’s will very often utilise other spiritual aids, for example crystals alongside the pendulum. A particular crystal may be chosen, based on the type of reading someone needs. For example, Rose Quartz if the topic is romance, self-love, compassion or emotional healing needs to take place. Clear Quartz if clarity is needed, and a desire to amplify and tap into spiritual energy. These tools are selected to create peace, balance and reassurance.
Action on Intuition not Impulse
A pendulum reading may sit very well with you, if you yearn for simplicity, if in a world of noisy distractions and constant decisions, you just want some yes or no answers, and a chance to reflect on your intuition instead of acting on impulse.
