Pendulums are often used as tools for spiritual healing and inner growth. Pendulums promote healing with the process of Dowsing which seeks out invisible energies. This connects people to higher energies spiritually and can help locate any blocks in energy. They are used as a form of reflection by asking questions to receive guidance, awareness, and understanding. Balancing one's chakras is also possible with pendulums, as pendulums tend to pick up on subtle vibrations to clear the body and balance mind, body, and spirit. Before you use your pendulum, you should cleanse it and charge it with your own energy. To charge with your own energy hold in your closed hands for 10-15 minutes sitting quietly with your eyes closed focusing your energy on the pendulum. You can also say a blessing, pray or ask your spiritual guide for support and guidance.
