Crystal pendulums are amongst the most popular options for divination, scrying, and answering questions – but just what are they, and how can they be used for best results? We took a closer look at all you need to know.
What Is A Crystal Pendulum?
A crystal pendulum (see also, ‘8 Best Crystals for Pendulums‘) is simply a small object made from a piece of quartz or another type of crystal that is suspended on a string or chain.
The crystal is usually cut into a specific shape, with a pointed bottom and relatively flat sides, though it is worth noting that any shape will do – it is the intention that is the real priority here.
The purpose of this design is to allow the user to see the energy of the crystal when it is held over their body or out in front of them, which will then provide them with insight into the situation at hand.
The crystal itself may also have an effect on the person holding it, depending on its size and quality. Some people report feeling more relaxed or calm after using a crystal pendulum, while others feel energized or even agitated by the experience.
There are many different types of crystals available, including amethyst, citrine, jade, lapis lazuli, selenite, smoky quartz, topaz, tourmaline, and tiger’s eye.
Each crystal has its unique properties, so choosing the right one for your needs can make a big difference to the outcome of your reading.
How Does It Work?
A crystal pendulum works by allowing the user to hold the crystal over their body, or out in front of them using an outstretched arm and then ask a question about the situation at hand.
When the crystal is placed over the head, it is said to represent the crown chakra (or third eye), and when it is placed over the heart, it represents the solar plexus chakra.
This allows you to focus on asking specific questions and queries about elements of your life that are associated with these chakras.
Alternatively, another option is to hold the pendulum in front of you, with your arm outstretched, and allow it to come to a natural stop. This can be useful for more generic “Yes/No” questions, or for answering more specific questions with multiple options.
When you use a crystal pendulum, it is important to remember that the answer is not always going to be clear-cut.
Instead, take note of the information given to you, and always consider queries and answers in the context of your wider life and circumstances.
How Can I Use A Crystal Pendulum For Best Results?
The easiest way to use a crystal pendulum involves placing the crystal in front of you, with the string hanging straight down and the crystal still, and asking a simple question.
Before you ask the question, however, you will need to determine how the crystal gives you an answer.
This can be achieved by asking a question that you already know the answer to, such as “Am I a woman?”, or “Do I live in the city?”. See which direction the pendulum moves in response, and this will tell you how the pendulum communicates “Yes” and “No.”
If you do not get a definite answer from the crystal, try changing the wording of your question slightly. If the crystal continues to move in the same direction, then keep asking the question until you get a definitive answer.
Once you understand the “language” of the crystal, you will be able to move to ask more specific questions.
For example, if you want to find out whether someone likes you, you could ask: “Does he like me?” If you receive a positive response, you can ask further questions, such as “Is he interested in me?” or “Will he ever love me?”
You can also ask questions about yourself, such as “Am I happy?” Once again, pay attention to the movement of the pendulum, and see what happens.
The crystal may give you a negative response, but this does not necessarily mean that you are unhappy – this is a sign that you need to dig deeper into the question at hand, and can be a great tool for self-reflection.
By asking questions about ourselves, we can gain insight into why we might be feeling a certain way, and this can help us to change our behavior accordingly.
It is important to understand that there is no single correct way to use a crystal pendulum.
Different people will find different methods work best for them, and some people will prefer to use crystal pendulums in conjunction with other tools such as tarot cards, runes, astrology charts, and dream interpretation techniques.
However, regardless of whether you choose to combine crystal pendulums with other tools, it is important to keep in mind that each tool has its own strengths and
What Are Some Of The Benefits Of Using A Crystal Pendulum?
Crystal pendulums work because they are made of crystals, which are naturally aligned with energy. They are therefore very effective tools for connecting with your intuition and helping you to tap into your inner wisdom.
They are also extremely versatile and can be used in many different ways. For example, you can use a crystal pendulum to connect with the energies of nature, animals, plants, minerals, and even objects.
It is also possible to use a crystal pendulum to communicate with spirits, angels, guides, ancestors, and loved ones who have passed on.
A crystal pendulum can also be used to locate lost items, heal illnesses, predict future events, and much more – these are versatile tools with a range of uses, and learning how to harness this power offers significant benefits.
