Intuitive Guidance From Within
Using Yourself As A Pendulum
Learning to trust our intuition is something that can connect us with our higher selves. Sometimes it might not seem easy to do this. Our thoughts and minds often get in the way. But by accessing our innermost self, we will find that the information we receive is usually what we truly need at that moment. One of the techniques that allows us to really get in touch with our deepest font of wisdom is using our body as a pendulum. The simple act of letting our physical being lead us in a certain direction can offer us extremely deep insights and help us find the answers we seek.

Many of us may have tried using a pendulum or crystal on a chain as a dousing tool to acquire the information we need to make decisions or even find lost objects. Using our bodies puts us much more closely in tune with our being. The process of using your body as a pendulum is to ask your higher self a question and wait for your body to respond in either a forward-tilting or backward-tilting motion. The first step is to really understand how our higher self communicates with us by centering our bodies, asking ourselves the directions for �yes� and �no,� and noting which way our body moves. For a lot of people a forward motion is �yes,� and your body tilting backward is a �no� answer. It is easier to start with simple questions at first to understand how our higher self communicates with us. As we become more used to the messages we receive and how we process them, we can start asking for more specific things such as what dosage of herbs to take or which foods would best nour! ish our bodies. Using this technique in the grocery store or when shopping for vitamins and remedies can be extremely helpful.

Since we are always present in our bodies, understanding how we can use our bodies as pendulums is a tool we can use at any given moment in our lives. Letting our bodies tell us what is happening inside of us will in turn help to guide us through not just daily but also major life decisions. The more we allow our bodies to open up and share with us the connection it has with our deeper self, the better able we will be to truly access the knowledge we hold so deeply within.

YES!  I love this post Eve  

On this note ...  a story...

In 1997, I sold everything I owned and went on a spiritual quest.  This quest lasted for 4 years, I travelled throughout Canada and the western USA.  When I first arrived in Arizona, a woman that I admire and respect was also there.  She told me about this very thing...using your body to receive knowing.  

Shortly after I arrived, I was with a brother and we were camping in the desert.  We had no firewood and no money to go buy some.  I said, "Hey, let's see if we can find firewood with our bodies, let's test this info that we received".  So we both stood in silence for awhile, asking our bodies to lead us to firewood.  As I stood there, I felt my body lean towards the right...I followed, my friend started walking in the other direction.  After about 5 min of walking, I came around the base of a hill and saw my friend walking toward me from the other side....where we came together...was a pile of firewood!  No kidding.  We started laughing and so we had our firewood for the night.  

This works!!  lol
Blessed be
