Pendulum means answering (life) questions with the help of a pendulum, an often drop-shaped metal, glass or wooden object on a wire or chain. Like dowsing, dowsing is considered a form of radiesthesia and dowsing. Commuting is used, among other things, to possibly find answers to (life) questions or to detect so-called "energies". There is no scientific evidence that pendulum works, but people who use the pendulum believe that the instrument works well. When commuting, one holds the end of a flexible wire, rope or chain with a length of 5 to 10 centimeters. At the other end hangs an object made of metal, glass, wood or other material, which functions as a small weight. This weight can have all kinds of shapes and sizes. Asking questions should be done carefully in order to obtain a proper answer. The question must therefore be asked precisely and one can only ask one question at a time. The pendulum could then confirm the question or answer 'no' by a specific way of moving. When commuting, a commuting card is sometimes used, on which a number of possible answers or an alphabet are depicted. Since the pendulum can move in all directions, in addition to orientation, the pendulum map also offers more options for reading the answer in more detail. Pendulum card Pendulum is one of the many tools with which complementary therapists try to consult the subconscious of clients.
