Pendulum – A Tool of Intuition, Decision-Making, and Inner Truth
Other names: pendulum, divination pendulum, energy pendulum
Basic characteristics
The pendulum is gentle tool, which helps to listen to your own intuition and subconscious. It enables better decision-making in situations where we are not sure which path to take.It is not about predicting the future, but about connecting to your own inner truth.
The Essence of Working with a Pendulum
The pendulum responds to subtle impulses of the nervous system and the subconscious.

The calmer you are, the more accurate answers you will receive.
