I first started developing my sixth sense with a pendulum, I must have been about 14-years old, and I didn’t know what I was doing, but realized that the back and forth swing of the pendulum was mesmerizing and actually put me in “alpha state.”
It helped me clear my mind so I could get the right answer to the yes and no questions I was asking. It took some practice.
In my opinion, if you’re starting off trying to develop your sixth sense, the practice of using a pendulum is the way to go. It’s a simple and ordinary little device that helps you communicate with your higher self, so you can access Divine Guidance when you do it.
You don’t need to be “gifted.”All you need to do is develop that sixth sense that we all have. And it will open up this sense to where you can become more “psychic” in all aspects of your life and even do readings for others.
One of the reasons you might choose to use a pendulum, is that every time you develop another gift that you can use to communicate with spirit, your overall vibration gets higher.
As this happens, the overall level of gifts that you have become higher and therefore they are easier to use. This is also a tool that you can utilize to aid you in making decisions about healing.
Getting started with a pendulum is extremely easy, much easier than learning 78-card Tarot deck or focusing on a crystal ball for hours on end. Although all tools of divination are tools to help you strengthen your psychic abilities if you use them wisely.
Let’s take a look at what you need. You can either purchase a pendulum set/kit to get started, something that includes the Yes and No questions, or you can create your own pendulum platform. Like in the illustration below.
Or simply write on a piece of paper the yes and no cross.
Anything can be used as a pendulum even a paper clip with a little weight on it would do. A pendulum is about 6-8 inches long with a proper weight on it. I use a Shungite Pendulum because, it keeps the chain straight and its healing powers are outstanding.
Shungite is very old, ancient in fact. It is said to be around 2 billion years old. It is an extraordinarily positive stone, and using it may bring you a variety of blessings. This is an amazing stone, and one that is beneficial to a healthy life.
Some say Shungite was formed in ancient oceans and ended up on the land when land forms changed. Others think maybe it came to earth from outer space on a meteorite. Really no one knows and it seems to me that scientists are guessing at how it formed.
Any pendulum will work even one you make yourself. I’ve made one with string, and fishing weight or paperclips with rubber band weighting it down in the middle. Although I personally prefer using a pendulum made from crystal or shungite, any sort of weight on the end of a string will work.
If you have been developing any gifts, including any type of psychic gifts, such as clairvoyance, use a pendulum in combination with your other gifts, to get answers and guidance from spirit.
Once you have your pendulum and platform ready it’s important to do a couple of breathing exercises to relax and try to clear you mind. I recommend you just sit quietly holding your pendulum and count your breaths to 10. Don’t breathe hard or count to 10 to get it over with so you can get your answers, that never works. Just breath normally in through the nose and out threw the mouth 10 times. Focus on nothing but the sound of your breathing. This helps you to relax and prepare your mind for messages from spirit.
Make sure you start by asking simple yes and no questions. Simplicity is key in this practice. Yes and No questions are easy for you to absorb from spirit through pendulum, you can practice with a pendulum more as you get familiar with it and ask more complex questions later.
After you’ve done your breathing exercise, you can place your pendulum a few inches from the platform and ask it a question. Keep the pendulum as straight as possible, try to remain still, pretty soon the pendulum will swing to either the YES or NO, giving you the answer.
So how exactly does this work? I believe all questions and ANSWERS are within us, and it’s up to our spiritual selves to unlock the answers. The swing of a pendulum, the breathing exercises help put us in a clear and open frame of mind to receive the answers from the divinity in us.
If you are trying to strengthen your intuition and do readings for yourself, the pendulum is the best tool to learn. It’s also a great introductory tool in the realm of divination arts and will help you listen to what is going on around you, even when you aren’t using the pendulum. So keep practicing.

Tarot Card of the Week- Queen of Pentacles
Tarot of the Week – May 22 – May 28, 2017
Tarot of the Week – May 22 – May 28, 2017Queen of Pentacles
This week we explore the world of the Mystic Faerie Tarot. These sweet cards have a mystic earthy feel to them.
Fairies seem to be appropriate for spring when all is in bloom, and the deck depicts a certain mystic glow of light that represents fairies perfectly. From the deck, we pull the Queen of Pentacles, your tarot card of the week.
The Fairy Queen or Queen of the Fairies was a figure from folklore who was believed to rule the fairies. Based on Shakespeare’s “A MidSummer Night’s Dream,” in English-speaking cultures, she is often named Titania or Mab.
Titania was a woman to contend with, furiously loyal and protective, she embodies what all women are with that natural tendency to protect the most vulnerable among us. As you can see she is contemplating the great abundance around her.
She lacks for nothing, yet she sits alone contemplating wondering how she can make her world a better place. She is in charge of her dominion and all around her, and by sheer force of will, and hard work, she maintains a beautiful home and kingdom around her.
Tarot Card of the Week: King of Pentacles
Tarot Card of the Week: Apr 17 – Apr 23, 2017
Tarot Card of the Week: Apr 17 – Apr 23, 2017King of Pentacles
This week I present you with one of my favorites cards in the Mythic Tarot Deck, the King of Pentacles. The card tells the story of King Midas, who could turn everything he touched into pure gold.
He’d done a favor for the Goddess Dionysus, and she granted him any wish he wanted. Without thinking, he asked that everything he touches turn to gold. Unfortunately, the dream came true.
His food, his servants, his dogs, everything turned into gold. Including his own beloved daughter. He begged the Goddess to take the gift back. She did by having him wash is hands in a magical river and everything went back to how it was.
The moral of the story? He was already a wealthy man, no golden touch was needed for true happiness. The King of Pentacles holds a coin representing money. He sits on his throne, decorated with the heads of golden goats, behind the throne we see his servants and a pile of money at his feet.
The goat which represents Capricorn in the background tells us the King is a planner and brilliant strategist.

The Paranormal or Scientific Phenomenon of Shadow People
You may be sitting in front of the television set, or curled up reading a good book, when all of a sudden out of the corner of your eye you see some movement a shadow, fleeting by. You shake your head, sure that you are imagining things and go back to your book or program. Suddenly, there it is again, that shadow figure.
Shadow people are becoming a frequent phenomenon witnessed by believers and skeptics of the paranormal. The mysterious sightings have been hot topics of conversation in paranormal chat rooms and on the popular radio show “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.”
The Wikipedia claims Shadow people “are supernatural shadow-like creatures of both modern folklore and traditional native American beliefs. According to folklore, they appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people’s vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed.”
Many folks erroneously believe a shadow that just went through a wall is a ghost. But those who have been in contact with ghosts or spirits and shadow people can tell the difference.
Tarot Card of the Week – The Fool
Card of the Week: Sep 26 – Oct 2, 2016:
Card of the Week: Sep 26 – Oct 2, 2016:The Fool
You’re only given a little spark of madness, you mustn’t lose it.
~ Robin Williams
The Fool of the Witches Tarot deck is on a ledge, his foot so very close to the edge we feel almost scared for him. There is his trusty dog, a representation of the universe that is keeping him on the path.
The Fool looks up, and doesn’t care where he is going but he is happy in the moment.
The Fool in the major arcana of the Tarot, is numbered zero, which is the number of unlimited potential and unlimited possibilities. It can be considered the first card in the deck or the last, doesn’t really matter where he falls.
If you look at the card you can see the fool doesn’t seem to care where he’s been or where he is going, but he is jubilant and carefree. He doesn’t care what is behind him or in front, but only about the present moment.
When you see the Fool in a Tarot reading it represents a need to change things, to start fresh, or take a different direction.
This card is all about personal growth and development which means sometimes taking risks, not looking where you are going, but simply plunging in.
Connecting with Spirits Using Dowsing Rods
Dowsing rods have been around since the 15th century if not earlier. Like any other tool they are used for divination and answering questions. Dowsing rods are much like the pendulum (see pendulum) because the answers are in the form of Yes, NO, or “I don’t know”, depending on what you are asking.
For centuries, people did not know how dowsing rods or pendulums worked, they looked on these tools as satanic devices of the Devil. Yet they would use them to identify witches and burn them at the stake.
However, as we all know, the rods were used to condemn poor innocent women, which is why they later became almost obsolete, and brought back by desperate people looking for water. Water flows so it would be a natural conduit for picking up hidden energy sources.
Tarot of the Week: Two of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: Aug 29 – Sept 4, 2016
Two of Swords
Tarot Card of the Week: Aug 29 – Sept 4, 2016This week’s card is the Two of Swords from the Mythic Tarot. It’s a card about difficult choices.
In this card the man and the woman represent choices you may need to make this week. You could find yourself in the middle trying to make a decision that will avoid conflict in your life.
The suit of Swords in the Tarot is associated with action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. An action you take could be constructive or destructive.
Swords are tricky as they can also mean hatred, enemies, battles at work or at home.
The Two of Swords therefore serves as a reminder that life’s decisions are frequently quite difficult and raise the possibility of painful consequences.
However, you must “take the bull by the horns” and make your decisions with your best intentions, fully aware of the possible consequences. Avoidance will ultimately lead to a greater conflict.
Inspiring Movies Wake Up the Power in YOU!
We Don’t Die
We Don’t DieIf you love the movies and you wish to increase your personal spiritual awakening. I highly recommend a subscription to Gaia.com. It is the premier streaming station for people seeking enlightenment, a higher consciousness and good health.
Last week, I sat down to watch something uplifting and stumbled upon this little gem of a movie, based on the book “We Don’t Die,” by Sandra Champlain. It’s not only about Sandra’s skeptical journey into the spiritual, but with actual exercises that prove there is life after death. She demonstrated how our souls simply go into another dimension of existence.
Sandra speaks about her 15-year journey into the unknown and shows us her EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) experience along with methods of dowsing to prove there is life after death. And that our energies continue onward.
The EVP explanation was quite outstanding as she was able to share the “voices” she picked up from the other side. These special ways of communicating with those who have died brings comfort to the soul and an even stronger belief in life after death.
