[back to SMT Overview]
The following is an excerpt of Self-Hypnotism: The Technique and Its Use in Daily Living by Leslie M.LeCron. We recommend it in order to get a clear understanding of what self-hypnosis is and to learn more about the use of the pendulum. You will be shocked how many misconceptions you acquired due to, for instance, Hollywood.

| Learn how to use a pendulum and contact your subconscious mind(just try) |
As a pendulum almost every light object can be used. For instance a ring,a small metal frame, or a medallion. The item needs to be bound to a 12-17cm long yarn (4,7-7inches).
(I myself use an old sports medal; but many people have been successfull with these Natural Amethyst Crystal Pendulums)
The pendulum has been used for centuries to forecast the future , our use of it, of course, has nothing to do with prophecy.
We will
just use it to gather information from our subconscious mind;
the pendulum being by far the easiest and quickest method to establish contact .
A small group of doctors,dentists and psychologists, which is known as the "Hypnose Simposium" , has instructed thousands of physicians in this method.
In thousands of cases it has been used - also by psychiatrists - with great
success.
When using the pendulum you should keep the yarn or chain between your thumb and forefinger;the elbow gently rested on a table or (if no other option) your knee. Like that ,the pendulum can oscillate without any restraint.

| hold your pendulum like that |
The pendulum is able to move into 4 different directions:
-clockwise
-counter-clockwise
-straight from left to right
-front to back
 |
| Pendulum movement (from above) |
Each direction refers to a specific answer. Just like when calibrating with
SMTs , we first have to know what`s what. The possible answers are:
-
Yes
-
No
-
I do not know
-
I do not want to answer (
this one indicates that there is some kind of issue in regards to the question)
Take a couple of deep breaths, sit comfortably and simply say or think while gently holding your pendulum between forefinger and thumb. "What means
yes?"
Relax, and watch what happens. (
This might be a mind expanding experience for you , if you have never done it before and did it correctly)
After a couple of seconds the pendulum should start to swing in a certain direction.This will be the direction assigned to "
Yes" (obviously).
Sometimes it takes a little bit longer - just stay focused and it will happen.
Now go on and calibrate the other three answers,(ask "
what means no?", "what means
"I do not know", "what means "
i do not want to answer"?) this needs to be done everytime you use the pendulum, but it is a rather quick process once you are used to it.

| calibrate your pendulum |
Basically, you are already set now. Once you have calibrated the meaning of each direction you are free to ask your sub-consciousness everything you desire to know.
