The negative vibrations of a pendulum may range from
prickly to slimy. No matter how good the price or how

pendulum, rub it gently between your hands until it
warms with your vibrations. You can embed more of
your vibrations into your pendulum by using it
regularly.

which it is made.
Next, test the way the pendulum is balanced and
weighted by dangling it from its string. Is the weight
heavy enough to be felt through the string or chain? If it
is too light, the pendulum will be affected by the
slightest movements, whether of your hand or the air.
You need to select a pendulum that weighs from 1/2

different.
Is the pendulum bail or hole centered, and is the
pendulum shaped properly? If the bail or hole is off-
center, the pendulum will not respond properly. If a
string is tied directly to the pendulum, I suggest that you
attach a small jump-ring through the hole in the top of
the ring and retie the string to the jump-ring. If the
