How to choose your first crystal pendulum: complete guide to choosing, using and connecting

A pendulum is essentially a suspended object that moves freely according to the subtle energy around and inside you. When made of crystal, it becomes an extension of your energy field and an energetic work partner.

The pendulum can be used for:

• obtaining intuitive answers (yes/no/unknown)

• balancing and testing the chakras

• dowsing (searching for energies, objects, geopathogenic points)

• clarifying decisions and emotional blockages

• connecting with spirit guides or higher self

You don't need to know all the properties. Let yourself be guided by how you feel. Choose with your heart, not just with logic. Also keep in mind what concerns you at the moment – intuition, courage, protection?

Recommended crystals for the first pendulum:

🌀 Listen: If a stone attracts your attention without logical reason, it is possible that it is exactly the right one.

The form determines the way the energy flows through the pendulum:

• Conical (with peak) - for clear and accurate answers

• Spherical - radiates evenly; Suitable for auric scanning

• Drop - gentle, intuitive, good for beginners

• Crude crystal - natural energy, but moves harder to read

🎯 For beginners, the conical shape or drop are ideal.

A comfortable pendul has:

• chain of 15–25 cm, of neutral metal (stainless steel, silver)

• average weight, for smooth movement

• a round grip or crystal in the end (for stability)

💡 A pendulum too hard tired the hand, one too easy will have weak movements.

Ritual of initiation:

1. Hold the pendulum between the palms, quietly.

2. Inspire deeply. Feels the energy of the stone.

3. Say mentally:

   "I choose you as a tool of clarity, truth and light. Thank you for guiding."

4. Ask him: "What is the movement for yes?", then "For no?", then "For the unknown?"

   (The movements can be circular, before -back, left -right - each pendulum has its own language.)

It is essential to practice conscious neutrality before each session with the pendulum.

If you ask, but "You hope" To a certain answer, it is possible that the pendulum reflects your desire, not the truth.

🔸 Speaks before each session:
"I am prepared to receive both yes and no, without resistance."

This attitude opens you to an authentic response. Sometimes the pendulum tells you what is difficult to accept, but exactly what you need to hear.

Cleaning:

• smoke of white sage, Palo Santo or natural incense

• the light of the full moon

• placement on a Drusa of amethyst or selenite plate

• salt water (for hard crystals - not for selenite, malachite, etc.)

Energy load:

• Solar or monthly Light Personal Intention: "I load you with the energy of clarity and truth."

Training exercises:

• "My name is [your name]?"

• "Is it today [the day of the week]?"

• "Is this water good for me?"

Then:

• "Is this crystal suitable for me today?"

• "Is it beneficial to make this decision now?"

• "Chakra X is blocked?"

🌀 If the pendulum does not respond clearly, ask otherwise or come back later. Sometimes your energy is not available.

• Is it beneficial to take this step now?

• Do I need more time for this decision?

• Can I use amethyst for crown chakra?

• Is my energy clean space?

• Do I need to release an emotion related to the past?

Your first pendulum should not be perfect, but suitable for you now.

It does not have to be the most expensive, the largest, or the most beautiful - but the one who responds.

Don't forget: the pendulum doesn't tell you what to do. It shows you what you already know, but you may not have the courage to recognize.

🔮 "The answer is in you. The pendulum just reminds you how to listen to it."
