First used by Galileo, pendulums have a long history of use in engineering, astronomical measurement and divination and are accepted as a valuable tool in all 3 disciplines. For the purpose of this lesson, we will look at pendulums for the purpose of divination.

Using a pendulum tends to be called dowsing, especially when it is being used to find water, minerals or anything else within the earth. When we hear this term, many of us still see within our minds the old image of the water dowsers from the movies. It is important to not allow differences in terminology to prevent you from learning a time tested and time homored ability that can help you find objects and help you get answers to questions you may have.

Pendulums are nothing more than a tool that helps you to sense the energies that run throughout the entire universe. While we may not be able to accurately measure psychic abilities or the test their accuracy, many of the premises used in all sorts of psychic abilities are scientifically proven facts.

For instance, it is a proven fact that energy never dies. It simply transmutes to a different form. If is also a fact that everything in the universe is composed of energy. What we see and feel as a nice, solid table in fron of us is in reality comprised of living, moving atoms of pure energy.

We see the table as solid, only because our senses are not designed to perceive the energy on that level. But that does not mean we can not perceive the energy on any level.

That is where psychic abilities come into play. The allow us to sense and obtain knowledge from energies that we have not yet learned to physically see with our eyes and the mundane level.

A pendulum is a tool that allow us to communicate what we are sensing (reading) from the energies, more directly with our brains. You could think of it as the energies speak one language, you speak a different language and the pendulum is the translator that allows you to understand what the energies are saying.
