All About Pendulums


A pendulum is a weighted object hung from a fixed point so that it can swing freely backward and forward. A pendulum maintains its swing due to the force of gravity accelerating the pendulum back toward the equilibrium position.

A pendulum is a common tool used by psychics and healers even though a pendulum has no inherent energy.  Many psychics practice Pendulum Dowsing for healing purposes such as identifying allergies. Pendulum Dowsing can also cleanse negativity in a room, help locate lost objects or pets, and even find water!

A pendulum acts as a receiver of energy fields, from the people it is surrounded by the whole of Earth. It is believed that by tapping into these invisible energy fields, we can subsequently tap into information that cannot be found in the everyday physical world.
