exercises. If this does not solve the problem, become
aware of your body to see if you are too tired to be using
the pendulum at that time. Also check the question
itself, for you may not want to know the answer.


There is no one set of correct movements from a
pendulum to indicate an answer. Pendulums react
differently to different people. The first position or
movement of the pendulum you must identify is what is
called the Neutral or Search position. This position
should appear when the pendulum is merely hanging
there waiting for you to give it a question. The
pendulum may react in one of three different motions. It
may hang still with no movement. It may show that it is
in the Neutral/Search position by making very small
clockwise circles. Or, it may gently swing side to side or
forward and backward in short, tiny, straight
movements. In order for the pendulum to establish a
Neutral/Search position, you must tell it to stop. With a
little practice, the pendulum will obey this command by
hanging dead still or making a small movement. You
need to know what movement your pendulum makes for
a Neutral/Search answer so you can distinguish between
a Neutral and a definite No or Yes answer.
