Have you seen energy healers swinging pretty crystal pendulums in their energy work? You might be curious why some people use them, how they work, and what the benefits are! Let us share some details about these helpful energy healing tools.
What is a Pendulum, and How Does it Work?
A pendulum is a simple tool typically consisting of a weighted object attached to a chain or string. The object could be made of crystal, metal, stone, or other materials. The pendulum is held by an energy healing practitioner and used as a tool to interpret the subconscious’s answers to questions. The body influences the movements of the pendulum as a way to give yes or no answers.
Many energy healing practitioners use muscle testing techniques that require just their body. These methods include the Ring-in-Ring technique and the Sway Test. However, for some practitioners, using a pendulum can be a helpful technique to boost their confidence in their answers and is easier to interpret.
How to Use a Pendulum for Energy Healing
If you decide you’d like to try using a pendulum for energy healing, follow these steps:
1. Choose a Pendulum: Select a pendulum that resonates with you! Many people choose pendulums made of crystals for their additional properties. Additional similar tools include dowsing rods and bobbers.
2. Ask For Support: Asking for help from above is a wonderful way to call in your higher power and bring focused intention as you work with these energy healing tools. Whatever your personal faith and beliefs are, take a moment to connect through prayer, meditation, or anything else that is meaningful to you.

3. Clear Your Mind: Relax and clear your mind. Try not to be attached to any certain answer or outcome, as that can affect the movement of the pendulum.
4. Hold the Pendulum: Hold the pendulum loosely by the chain or string, with the crystal or weight hanging down. You’ll want roughly a palm’s width of the chain extended below your hand. Allow it to hang freely.
5. Determine your ‘yes’ and ‘no’ answers: Ask a specific question with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. You’ll want to test a few questions that you already know the answer to in order to better understand what a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ answer looks like with your pendulum. You might try asking something such as, “Is my name (your name)?” and then, “Is my name (not your name)?”. Or, “Am I in (your town)?” and then “Am I in (not your town)?” Test these types of questions and notice how the pendulum swings or moves for each answer. Keep testing until you feel comfortable discerning different answers!

6. Trust your intuition: Your subconscious mind guides the pendulum’s movements, so try to trust the answers your body is giving you! Be confident in yourself and in your positive intention to help bring health and happiness to yourself or others.
7. Identify Energy Blockages: Once you feel comfortable trusting the answers you receive from the pendulum, you can use it to practice the Emotion Code®, Body Code™, and Belief Code®!
8. Practice regularly: The more you use the pendulum, the more you will gain confidence and trust the answers you receive!

Why Try a Pendulum?
If muscle testing works for you, that’s great! Feel free to keep on keeping on, and use the method that you love! But, if you’ve struggled with muscle testing, for some people a pendulum can be a great option. Here are a few reasons why:
- Amplification of subtle movement: Sometimes, it can be hard to detect answers while muscle testing, especially when you’re just getting started. The pendulum, by design, amplifies movement and can make it easier to observe visually the changes in movement.
- Objectivity: For some people, an external tool can feel easier to trust than the movements of their body (even though their body is what will create subtle movements in the pendulum!).
- Gives you something to focus on: Having an object to look at and focus on can be nice when you’re starting out with energy healing!
- Non-touch option: A pendulum is a great way to help others through energy work without needing to touch them at all. If someone is uncomfortable with being touched for any reason, this is a great way to create a little extra space for them – while giving all the same wonderful benefits.
The Best Tool Is the One You Use!
Pendulums are a great tool for accessing the subconscious mind. But so is muscle testing with nothing but your body, using the Sway Test, Ring-in-Ring Test, etc. There’s no right answer, except choosing what works best for you. If it’s easiest for you to unlock information from the subconscious mind with a pendulum, then it’s a perfect option for you! What’s important is that you practice and feel confident in the method that you choose.
