Default Going against pendulum's advice

Hi, I went on a half-day workshop on chakra balancing last week, and was introduced to the use of pendulums. I was amazed by this, and bought a pendulum at the end of the workshop, from the trainer.
I've since been trying this out, but feel rather a beginner. In particular, when I asked the pendulum whether it was in my highest interests to do a particular training course that I have been aspiring to for some time, it answered 'no' (on more than one occasion). I can't think why this would be the case, i.e. what the problem could be.
Is it OK to 'go against' the pendulum's advice?
Are there any books/websites you could recommend to answer this a type of question and to give me a clearer idea of using the pendulum properly?

Thanks a lot

Sarah

Hi Sarah .

The pendulum In my eyes can be used as a tool that can bring about a truthful answer In ways of yes and no responses via certain directional swings (as we know) .

I have also seen that untruths can come about from an answered response using the pendulum also .

Some may feel that It Is our own subconscious mind that Is the energy source behind It’s movement and yet I have seen a spirit girl once use her own energy to move the pendulum also .

I know a few people that depended on the answers of a pendulum for almost every action taken from should they do this or that today or should I eat this type of food to what crystal I should keep upon their person . lol .

I have only used the pendulum once In my life (lol) many years ago when I first started healing and I was questioning myself at the time as to why I didn’t feel right about giving a particular person healing . I couldn’t possibly fathom out as to why I shouldn’t - using the pendulum also gave me a no answer as to not heal this particular person .

I did though end up giving healing to that person (he hehe) doh!! and what happened was that I had transferred some energy from my last patient from moments earlier on to the next person . (only temporary transference of energy by the way)

So In that Instance I ignored my own intuition and the truthful answer via the pendulum .

I am not a great fan of using any tools to be honest but It Is possible that they do work and are accurate “at times” .

Sometimes having further confirmations Is advisable .

A good book is

Dowsing: The Ultimate Guide for the 21st Century by Elizabeth Brown

My understanding is that a pendulum is an amplifier of imperceptible muscle movements that occur as a result of changes in the subtle energy flow within the physical body.

You could try another technique and see if you get the same response such as using your body like a pendulum - you ask your question (e.g. is this course is right for me?) whilst in a standing position with your dominant hand on your thymus (upper chest) and see which way, if any, you move. You will need to determine what direction you sway for yes & no first though.

Sometimes we do want things that for some reason are not meant to be either for now or never. For example for the past few years I have tried to find a reflexology course that I could afford and that fitted in with my life. Each time I found one something 'went wrong' i.e. the course was on a day/time that I could not attend, the course did not run due to low numbers, the course was cancelled etc. Finally this year it all came together & I am on a course studying reflexology! So it might be that the workshop you desire is not meant to be for now.....

Just wanted to say thanks a lot to Daz and Meurighj for the info/advice. One thing I'd not realised before is how literal the pendulum is; I shall try again asking more specific questions about timing. I've also signed up for a pendulum dowsing course, so hopefully that will help too.

Hi Sarah

I always do a name check before using the pendulum as energy reversal can give 'yes' when a 'no' answer was intended. To do a name check you ask the pendulum Is my name Sarah (in your case) and if the answer is 'yes', then that's fine, if it is 'no' then it is best to find out how to deal with reversal or return to the question at a later time.

To learn more there are courses, like these or online courses, as there is a lot to learn.

Just received December's Spirit & Destiny mag & there's an article on dowsing with a pendulum in it (pages 30-33).
