An Easy Way To Use A Pendulum

Example of a Coin Pendulum

I was giving a ghost tour of the Lemp Mansion, and during the tour, I did a pendulum session for the guests.   This lady on tour started screaming, "I WAS DOING IT WRONG," because I did not designate which direction was "YES" and which direction was "NO."


          Through the years, I discovered that pendulums are best used for asking questions that have binary answers.  By binary, I mean "YES" or "NO."  I determine a "YES" answer if the pendulum moves.  No movement indicates a "NO" answer. 


Designating this direction for "YES," this direction for "NO," and this direction for "MAYBE," in my opinion, complicates the use of a pendulum.  I also find the use of pendulum boards to be almost useless.  Most boards are not designed for precision.  The letters are too close together or opposing one another, making it very difficult to decipher the exact meaning of the pendulum's movement.

 

A close colleague, Dr. Michael Henry, developed a method that I found is much easier.   The coin pendulum, taught by Dr. Henry, is a method where a coin is suspended from a chain and hangs just below the inside rim of a cup.  If the pendulum strikes the inside of the cup, this indicates "YES."  If the pendulum does not move, this indicates a "NO."  I have adapted this binary response method to my ordinary use of a pendulum. 


With this binary method, I can also gauge the strength of the response.  Large or fast movements in the pendulum swing indicates a strong affirmative.  A very abrupt stop to the pendulum movement indicates a strong negative response.


Two phrases come to mind when using a pendulum for spirit communication.  The first is "The more you overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."  The second is "K.I.S.S.," "Keep It Simple Stupid."  I find both these phrases helpful and relevant when using a pendulum.
