PENDULUM BASICS
by Loretta Marie
The first thing you need to do is to activate your pendulum in the four basic responses:
1)        Seek
2)        Yes
3)        No
4)        I don’t know

You can do this procedure mentally or out loud (best).

First place your elbow on a flat and level surface. Then hold the top of the chain between your thumb and forefinger,
letting the pendulum hand down. Make sure the pendulum is completely still. Now say out loud: “I am seeking
answers.” Now gently swing the pendulum in a clockwise circular direction allowing it to spin for at least six
revolutions. Now once again say out loud: “This is my seek response.”
Now gently stop the pendulum’s response.

Repeat the procedure by saying, “I am seeking for answers.” Do not, however, touch the pendulum. Allow it to begin
spinning automatically. As it spins, say once again: “I am seeking answers. Do this several times until you feel
confident. Great, now let’s program the “yes” response.

Again make sure the pendulum is completely still. Now say out loud:  “Yes, yes, yes,” nodding your head up and down
as you say the word “yes”. Now gently move the pendulum so that it goes up and down; just like your head as it nods.
Do this for at least six times or until your feel confident.  Now say out loud:  “This is my “yes” response.” Now gently
stop the pendulum’s response.

To make sure the “yes” response has been accepted you will now ask the pendulum at least six different “yes”
response questions. These are questions that you already know the answers will be in the affirmative such as “Is my
name ____?  Am I a female (male)?  Is today Saturday?  Etc.” Remember do not touch the pendulum. Allow it to move
up and down automatically. Write down or mentally remember your answers. Good. Now let’s program the “no”
response.

Again make sure the pendulum is completely still. Now say out loud:  “No, no, no,” swaying your head from side to side
as you say the word “no”. Now gently move the pendulum so it will go side to side either left to right, or right to left
moving your head from side to side. Do this for at least six times or until your feel confident. Now say out loud: “This is
my “no” response.” Now gently stop the pendulum’s response.

To make sure the “no” response has been accepted you will now ask the pendulum at least six different “no” response
questions. These are questions that you already know the answers will be in the negative such as “Is my hair purple?  
Am I a dog (cat)?  Is it 10:00 a.m. (p.m.)?  Do I live on the Moon?  Etc.”
Remember do not touch the pendulum. Allow it to begin moving side to side automatically.
Write down or mentally remember your answers. Good. Now let’s program the “I don’t know” response.

Again make sure the pendulum is completely still. Now say out loud:  “I don’t know. I don’t know, I don’t know.” Now
gently swing the pendulum in a counterclockwise circular direction allowing it to spin for at least six revolutions. Do
this for at least six times or until your feel confident. Now say out loud: “This is my “I don’t know” response.” Now
gently stop the pendulum’s response.

To make sure the “I don’t know” response has been accepted you will now ask the pendulum at least six different “I
don’t know” response questions. These are questions that could be interpreted as a “maybe” or even a “silly” question
such as “Do I have alien blood?  “Do I like mussels?  Etc.” Do not, however, touch the pendulum. Allow it to begin spin
counterclockwise automatically. Write down or mentally remember your answers.

The procedure is: (a) Activate the basic responses; (b) Write down your question (s) so it is clear in your mind; (c) Ask
your question (s); (d) Write down your answers.

You now have the four pendulum responses and you will need to keep practicing every day for about a week so you’re
completely familiar with them and are confident in your answers. I tell my students that no matter how many times you
use your pendulum you will need to check the four responses before you ask any questions.

To receive answers for specific and intricate questions it isnecessary to use the charting method of pendulum
dowsing. This method uses charts that have been designed with specific and unique answers. It is one of the easiest
ways to answer complex questions.

Good luck and have fun with your pendulum.
