Using a pendulum for healing is a gentle and intuitive practice that taps into your subconscious, energy field, and higher guidance. It’s often used in energy work like Reiki, chakra balancing, and dowsing for imbalances. This is how I usually use a pendulum for healing:
How Pendulum Healing Works
A pendulum acts as an energetic scanner and amplifier. It detects energetic blocks, emotional disturbances, and even physical imbalances. Your subconscious guides the pendulum’s movement, giving insight into where healing is needed and helping direct energy for restoration.
1. Prepare Your Pendulum & Space
- Use a cleansed pendulum (crystal or metal). Cleanse it with sage, Reiki, or saltwater.
- Create a quiet, sacred space.
- Centre yourself with deep breaths or a short meditation.
- Set a clear intention: “I ask for guidance and healing for the highest good.”
2. Determine Yes/No/Neutral Responses
Before healing work, ask your pendulum:
- “Show me yes” → observe motion
- “Show me no” → observe motion
- “Show me neutral or undecided” → observe
This is your personal response system. Common patterns:
- Clockwise: Yes
- Counterclockwise: No
- Side to side: Neutral or wait
3. Use a pendulum for Chakra & energy healing.
To scan energy:
- Hold the pendulum 2–4 inches above each chakra or body part.
- Watch the movement:
- Strong, steady circle: balanced
- Weak, erratic, or still: blocked or low energy
To send healing:
- Hold the pendulum over the affected area.
- Ask: “Please balance and heal this energy centre.”
- The pendulum may spin (usually clockwise) as energy flows.
- When it slows and stops, healing is complete for that area.
Repeat this for each chakra or area of concern.
4. Ask Healing Questions
You can also dowse for emotional or spiritual healing needs:
- “Is there emotional trauma stuck in my heart chakra?”
- “Can I release fear from my solar plexus today?”
- “Is my energy system ready for Reiki today?”
Let the pendulum guide your focus and affirmation work.
5. Seal the Healing
- Give thanks: “Thank you for this healing. I am restored and aligned.”
- Ground yourself by placing hands on your thighs or walking barefoot.
- Cleanse your pendulum after each healing session.
