How To Choosing Your First Pendulum

So you decide to try one of those little divination devices called a pendulum. What's next? How should I choose a pendulum? Do you see crystal, brass, and sometimes wooden ones? Pyramid-shaped or spherical, or star-shaped or flower-shaped? Do you need a fancy pendulum board or cloth with instructions that say "Yes, No, Maybe, I Don't Know”? The answer to the first three questions (selection, material, shape) is yes. The last? No, it's nice to have, but not required.


Choose the pendulum that calls you, especially at first. It is best to choose a pendulum personally. If you're lucky enough to have a New Age store near you, you'll likely see a display shelf with about 30 different pendulums. Go to the exhibition stand and see if there is a pendulum. Is there anything that catches your eye? Try moving your hand slowly. Do you feel anything? Did you feel a little warm or a little tingly? Good luck if you do. Wait a minute. The rest of us need to catch up. You can buy a crystal pendulum online as well. For this, type buy crystal pendulum online on Google and enter. You will have a list of many shops that are selling these future-telling devices.


When choosing a crystal pendulum, we often hear something like, "Choose the one that you feel is calling you." This is not necessarily a metaphor. Once you have selected your crystal, pick it up. Close your eyes and try to block out everything (this can be difficult if you're the shy type who's in the store alone). Do not worry. Everyone naturally assumes you know exactly what you're doing.


How do I know this is the right thing to do? See if you respond. Take a few deep cleansing breaths, block out your surroundings, lift the pendulum upwards, place your hands in the hollow space, and slowly exhale into the pendulum with deep breaths. Next, take the "handle" end and hold it loosely between your thumb and forefinger. Stay calm and just hold it.


Is something happening? Does the pendulum seem to be oscillating slightly? Even better, are you starting to shake? If yes, you have found your crystal pendulum. Congratulations!
