Select or make your pendulum, making sure whatever pendulum you use it feels right for you.

Once you have made or selected your pendulum get comfortable in your favorite chair or if you prefer you can stand making sure you feel relaxed, have no interruptions. Pick up the pendulum string or chain and let it hang vertically. Hold your hand slightly away from your body and being still as possible, focus on the pendulum and quietly say or think 'please show a yes response', then using a similar procedure ask or think for a 'no' response. Once you know the direction movement of your 'yes/no' answers and you feel confident with the pendulum, you can start asking questions.

Focus your eyes on the point, it will move either by your thoughts or spirits (generally spirit guide) working through you, make sure the pendulum is not being guided by the movement of your hand or fingers. One way to practice is to ask Questions you already know like - My name is Joe? or my name is Jill? Today is Monday? It is Evening? Ask simple questions to begin with, answers you already know keeping the sessions to less than 15 minutes each day until you are familiar and comfortable with the process.  Remember to ask a question only ONCE. If you want more information - you may want to use a chart, the pendulum should be about two inches above chart. There will be times the answer is unknown and the pendulum may stay idle or swing round in a circle the spirit may need more information.

If the pendulum does not move at all, best to stop and try again another time.
