Pendulum dowsing is used by many people to choose flower essences for themselves and others (family, friends, clients). Below is a brief description of how to dowse for flower essences.

Using your dominant hand (the hand you write with), hold the string between your thumb and index finger and swing the pendulum. Ask the pendulum to show you a “yes” movement. It will move in a circle, clockwise or counterclockwise or in a straight line. When you have determined the “yes” motion, ask the pendulum to show you a “no” movement. This will always be different from the “yes”. These different movements will not change. The “yes” movement should be the same tomorrow as it is today.

Once you are clear on which movements represent a “yes” and a “no”, you can begin to ask questions. Before starting we advise you to always ask to be connected with your highest guidance. Also ask if it is a good time to test for essences and, if you are testing for someone else, whether you have permission to ask questions about this person. If you get a “no” to any of these questions, put down the pendulum and try again at some other time.

When testing, the questions must always be formulated in such a way as to elicit a clear yes or no response. If you do not get a clear response it may mean that you are not asking the right question, that the question is not formulated properly, or that the information you request is not available to you.

To get effective answers from using your pendulum, you must be balanced, centered, focussed and neutral. It might take some practice, but is well worth it if you can develop your skill with a pendulum and have the confidence to trust in the answers that you get.

Personally, I found it difficult to use a pendulum when I first tried. It did not want to move for me. After I learned kinesiology, which is my preferred choice, I found that I was able to use the pendulum. Both testing methods are equally valid. The important thing is to develop a testing method in which you feel confident.
