Pendulums come in many shapes and sizes. They can be a simple as a ring hanging from a string to as complicated as a precision balanced, gold plated pendulum with genuine gemstones adorning the chain. While each pendulum type has its own special benefits, there really is no one perfect pendulum that works best for every person in the world.

In fact, the best Pendulum for you is 100% a personal decision. Some people may find they are drawn to a specific type of stone for the bob of their Dowsing Pendulum. Others are be drawn to seeking out specific added abilities in the Dowsing Pendulum they choose. Still others are attracted to a specific shape or color within their pendulum.

It is usually best to allow your psychic voice to guide you in your decision. Follow your instincts. If a specific pendulum seems to call to you, or you find one that seems to have a specific attribute (such as color or shape) that makes your heart sing, you have probably found the perfect one for you.

If none seems to call out to you, or if you just can not decide which would be the best, clasp the pendulum in the fist of your left hand. Hold your fist slightly above your navel and pay attention to any feelings you may have in your stomach. If the feelingss are unpleasant or painful, it is not the right pendulum for you. If the feelings are light and airy, or they sort of tickle a little bit, then you have a good one for you.

It is fine to start out with a simple, plain pendulum. Later, if you want something fancier, by all means trade up to one you like better. Just do not get trapped into the thinking that the more it costs, the better it is, that simply is not the truth.

Pendulums work with what I call, "fine energy". It is energy we can not readily see with our eyes. The worth of a pendulum is determined by how well you personally can use it to tap into those fine energies.

A basic pendulum can be comprised of nothing more than a simple "bob" with a string attached. I have seen pendulums where people add various gemstoned and beads to the string (or chain) and I saw a photo of one years ago that had diamonds set into a platinum chain with a large quartz crystal perfectly shaped into a perfectly weight bob, then encrusted around the top with rubies and sapphires. I can only imagine the things was probably in at least the $1 million range.

These add on are not necessary unless you feel like they help you connect with the universal energies.

So it really is a person decision on what your pendulum is comprised of and how it looks. Follow your heart and your psychic voice when choosing your pendulum and you will do fine.
