Pendulums and Healing

I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument that shows the reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.

Letter to Mr. Herman E. Peisach, 1946

Last July, I went to the 2024 West Coast Dowsers Conference in Santa Cruz.

As I have written before, I was taught to use a pendulum to assess the chakras before and after each healing in the Healing Touch Program. Besides one very informative course I took from Janna Moll in 2014, I had never investigated Dowsing or using the pendulum any further.

I was inspired by some YouTube videos on Dowsing, especially those of  Raymond Grace. He is the real deal.  I met several people in different classes with some first-hand Raymond Grace stories – all fantastic examples of healing. I would check him out if you have not heard of him. 

I could only attend the conference for two days, but it was worth it. Dowsing is limitless. I met people who dowsed for water, emotional balance, Star Beings, Nature Spirits, weather, and even what to eat for lunch. 

It’s been about two months, and I am still playing, integrating, and reading more about what I learned over those two days. I am sure this is not my last Dowsing Conference.

Healing: The Pendulum

Before each healing session, I check my clients’ seven major chakras with a pendulum. At the end of the session, I recheck the energy centers again to see the effects of the healing.

I am not asking the pendulum, “How are my client’s chakras today?”

I ask, “What do I need to know to hold the best space for my client?”

I learned to use a pendulum in my first Healing Touch class. I admit that when I first saw the teacher use a pendulum before her healing demonstration, I rolled my eyes.

Thank God I learned to use a pendulum. It is such a useful tool. It focuses me on the most important part of my client’s healing. I have often been surprised by what the pendulum indicates, only to have that information confirmed at the end of the session.

When a chakra is compromised, there are many reasons why. I don’t have to know the why – and most of the time I have no idea – it is just helpful to know what part of the body the current block is.

Let’s look at the throat chakra. If this chakra is out of balance, it could be for a physical reason. My client could have a sore throat or may be grinding their teeth at night. Maybe they have undiagnosed acid reflux. The imbalance could be because of an emotional or mental issue. The throat chakra has a lot to do with communication. My client could be in the middle of writing a book and experiencing writer’s block, or they may have a limiting belief they have nothing of value to share with the world. Maybe they are processing self-confidence issues. They could also have fear about speaking their truth in a relationship.

I could go on and on about why the throat chakra is blocked, yet I don’t have to know why. My job is to hold space for them to relax, rebalance, and self-heal.
