Games are a wonderful way of building your reading skills and enjoy working with your pendulum. Learn to locate objects by playing find the coin. Quarters work really well with this game. If you have a large rug, have a friend hide a quarter or coin under the rug or blanket. See if you can find where the coin is by the pendulum swing. When you are over the position of the coin, the pendulum swing will change from a “no” or “circle” to a “yes. Before you start, ask Spirit if they will help you find the coin.

Variations of this game are to have one person hide an object around the room or house, then have seeker find the object. (Or each person could hide a separate object at the same time, and then you could see who finds their object the fastest.)

An advanced part of the game could be to try to first identify what you are looking for. Ask a series of questions to the pendulum, and try to get inner clues as to what you are looking for. After you know what it is, then actually go look for it.

You will be asking yes or no questions to Spirit most of the time. The simpler your question is the better. Beginners often make their questions too vague, or say one question on top of the next.  If there is a group of people asking questions, one person at a time should speak. If too many people are talking to the person penduluming, that person will not get clear information.

It is possible to get much more information about what you are inquiring about by asking a range of questions and allowing the pendulum to respond to a series of questions.

Ask about someone’s age:  Is John 1?,2?,3?,4? etc.

If John is older, start with: Is John 20?, 30?, 40?, 50? Etc.

When you know what decade, then go back and ask:

Is John 21?,22?,23?,24?,25?,26?,27?,28?,29?

The pendulum will give you a “yes” as you approach an age. If you are uncertain between two answers, stop and clearly ask first, “Is John 28?”  Wait for the answer, and then ask “Is John 29?” Wait for the answer. One answer should end up with a definite yes or no. You will be astonished at the accuracy of working with the pendulum, as it is communicating with universal wisdom.

It is possible to affect the answer your pendulum is giving you, even when you think you aren’t. Each time you communicate with Spirit you must be centered and set your own expectations aside. The most difficult area for people to remain centered with is regarding questions about love.  It is almost impossible for individuals to set aside our desires surrounding our hearts, so it is better to go to a disinterested party when you are asking questions about your love life.

You can also find out when it is likely for something to happen. You can ask, “Will such and such happen in 2005?” Then you can determine the month of the likely event by going through the months, waiting for the pendulum to swing positively over a certain month.

Divining the future is not as easy as determining something that already is, since there are many things that affect the future. Everyone has free will, and individual choices affect what happens. There are always more than one possibility that something will or won’t happen, but quite often there is a stronger possibility of an event happening or not than another.

If you center yourself it is possible to determine the likely probably of something happening, and check on the percentage of possibility of the event happening. I find it is much easier to ask about future events for other people than for myself. Also, I sometimes get a clear reading on a month or the season something will happen but I might get the year it occurs totally wrong. That is very common for me.

And then there are the times when the information I get is TOTALLY wrong. The fun is when you start to see the times you get it right, and when the frequency of those right predictions increases.

When I ask if event “x” will happen, I sometimes hear a number along with it, perhaps “2.” This could mean 2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, etc. I usually can feel if it is sooner rather than later (like 2 days feels much closer than 2 years).

As mentioned earlier, using your pendulum to help you regress yourself to a past life is another advanced technique.  Ask your Guide through your pendulum if you are ready to do this.  If you are, a partner may be helpful to ask questions and record the answers, or you can also do it on your own. If working by yourself, have pen and paper handy or tape the session on a recorder. Most likely you will go into a light trance while you are doing this, but you should be able to remain conscious.  It is important to record what you receive, because shortly after your session ends, most likely the details of what you experienced will leave you.  This is a characteristic of Spiritual connection, when you return to this plane; all but the most vivid experiences are soon forgotten. 

By working with Spirit through a pendulum you can enrich your life in many ways.  There are also other ways to communicate with Spirit but this is a simple way that many people quickly understand.
