Richard Webster was born and raised in New Zealand. He has been interested in
the psychic world since he was nine years old. As a teenager, he became
involved in hypnotism and later became a professional stage hypnotist. After
school, he worked in the publishing business and purchased a bookstore. The
concept of reincarnation played a significant role in his decision to become
a past-life specialist. Richard has also taught psychic development classes,
which are based on many of his books.
A pendulum is a small weight attached to a length of chain or thread. When
someone holds it by the thread and asks a question, the weight moves and
provides the answer. It is an amazing tool that can be used for many
different purposes.
Just recently, a friend of mine decided to buy a car. He looked through the
advertisements in the daily paper and asked his pendulum about the cars that
sounded interesting. The pendulum gave a positive response to six cars, and
eventually told him which car he should buy. He looked at all six, and
finally bought the car that the pendulum had indicated.
Some friends went to Paris on a business trip. After finishing their
business, they had one free day before coming home. They used a pendulum to
determine which sights they should see.
People who were house-sitting next door to us lost their pet rabbit. After
frantically searching the immediate neighborhood, they used a pendulum to
locate the exact spot where he was.
These examples show the versatility and possibilities of this simple tool.
Despite its ease and usefulness, I have met many people who learned how to
use it and then discarded it as it was "too simple." At least one of my
students would disagree. She owes her life to the humble pendulum. She is
allergic to MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is sometimes used as a flavor
enhancer. She has had several hospital stays as a result of inadvertently
consuming it. Consequently, whenever she eats away from home she uses a
pendulum to determine if there is any MSG in the meal. I doubt that she'd
consider the pendulum "too simple" to bother with.
Of course, even though a pendulum is simple to use, it takes practice to
become good at it. You can buy pendulums at any new age store, but any weight
suspended on cord or chain will act as an impromptu pendulum. Choose
something that weighs at least three ounces and attach it to four to six
inches of cord. I have a huge collection of pendulums, because my family
invariably buys me a small object attached to a chain or cord for birthday
and Christmas presents.
Hold the cord between the thumb and first finger of your right hand, if you
are right-handed. (Use your left, if you are left-handed.) Rest your elbow on
a table and allow the pendulum to swing freely an inch or so above the
surface of the table. Stop the movement of the weight with your free hand.
Then ask the pendulum to move in a direction that means "yes." The pendulum
may start moving immediately, or it might take a while to indicate a positive
response. Once it starts, it will either move from side to side, backwards
and forwards, or rotate in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
Once the pendulum has indicated "yes,"stop it again, and then ask it to
indicate "no."Follow this by asking for "I don't know" and "I don't want to
answer" responses.
Now you can ask the pendulum questions that can be answered with these four
movements. Start by asking the pendulum questions that you already know the
answers to. You might ask it if you are male. You will get a "yes" answer if
you are, and a "no" response if you are not. Ask if you live at your current
address. It should reply positively.
After checking your pendulum in this way, you can proceed to ask questions
that you do not know the answers to. Start by asking questions that you can
check later on. The correct answers that your pendulum provides will give you
confidence as you continue to experiment.
There is no limit to the types of questions you can ask once you become
proficient with the pendulum. However, remember that it is possible to
mentally influence and override the movements of the pendulum. Suppose, for
instance, someone in your family is pregnant and you want to know the sex of
the unborn baby. The pendulum will give you the correct answer if you
honestly do not care what the sex will be. However, if you are hoping it will
be a girl, for instance, the pendulum will confirm this, even if it is not
correct. Your desire will have influenced the movements of the pendulum.
Consequently, if you have an emotional involvement in the answer, you will
find it better to have someone who has no interest in the outcome to ask the
pendulum for you.
The pendulum should never be used flippantly. Not long ago, a teenager told
me how she and her friends used a pendulum in an attempt to learn
embarrassing information about fellow classmates. Pendulums do not like being
used in this way and sometimes react by refusing to move at all. Not
surprisingly, the answers these students received were confusing and
conflicting. The sad thing is that these young people failed to learn how
useful and practical a pendulum can be when it is used properly.
The pendulum can literally work miracles. Once you become proficient with it,
you will wonder how you ever managed without it. While writing this, my wife
suggested that we go to the movies tonight. She handed me the entertainment
section of the newspaper, and my pendulum. She knows that the pendulum will
choose a movie that we'll both enjoy. That's yet another benefit of the
humble pendulum.
