In this guide, we’ll explore how to use crystal pendulums for healing and divination, the best types of pendulums to choose, and how to incorporate them into your spiritual practices.
What Is a Crystal Pendulum?
A crystal pendulum is a simple tool that consists of a crystal, often shaped like a point, attached to a chain or string. The crystal acts as a conductor for energy, and when held steady, the pendulum can swing in various directions in response to questions or the energy present in a space. Pendulums have been used for centuries as a form of divination to seek answers, clarify thoughts, or promote healing.
Crystal pendulums are commonly used for:
- Divination: Asking questions and receiving yes/no answers
- Healing: Balancing chakras and clearing energetic blockages
- Dowsing: Finding lost objects or determining energy imbalances
- Connecting with intuition: Gaining clarity on spiritual or emotional matters
Why Use Crystal Pendulums?
Crystal pendulums work by tapping into your subconscious mind and the subtle energies around you. By holding a pendulum and asking questions or setting intentions, the pendulum's movements provide insight into the energy flow of a situation or answer your questions. Crystal pendulums are incredibly versatile and can be used for self-discovery, healing, and guidance.
Benefits of using crystal pendulums include:
- Enhancing intuition and self-awareness
- Providing clear answers to yes/no questions
- Balancing your energy and chakras
- Promoting spiritual connection and healing
- Helping to make informed decisions

How to Use a Crystal Pendulum for Divination
Using a crystal pendulum for divination is a simple and effective way to seek answers from your intuition or the universe. Here’s how to get started:
1. Cleanse Your Pendulum
Before using your pendulum, it’s important to cleanse it to remove any residual energy. You can cleanse your pendulum by passing it through sage or palo santo smoke, placing it on a selenite charging plate, or leaving it in moonlight overnight.
2. Connect with Your Pendulum
Hold the pendulum in your dominant hand, with the chain or string draped over your fingers. Take a few deep breaths to centre yourself and clear your mind. Ask the pendulum to show you a "yes" and then a "no" response by saying aloud, “Show me yes,” and “Show me no.” Watch the direction in which the pendulum swings—this will be your guide for future questions.
3. Ask Yes/No Questions
Once you’ve established the directions for “yes” and “no,” you can begin asking your questions. Make sure your questions are clear and can be answered with a yes or no. Hold the pendulum steady and ask your question. The pendulum will swing in the direction of “yes” or “no” based on the energy surrounding the question.
- Tip: Start with simple questions like, “Is today Monday?” or “Is my name [your name]?” to ensure your connection with the pendulum is clear.
4. Trust Your Intuition
When using a pendulum, trust the answers you receive. The pendulum is responding to your energy and subconscious mind, so it’s important to trust your intuition and avoid overthinking the movements. If the pendulum doesn’t move, it may mean that the answer is unclear or that the timing isn’t right.
Using Crystal Pendulums for Chakra Balancing
In addition to divination, crystal pendulums can be used for chakra balancing and energy healing. A pendulum can help identify which of your chakras are blocked or out of alignment, and it can also be used to clear and balance the chakras.
1. Scan the Chakras
Lie down in a comfortable position and hold your pendulum over each chakra (starting from the root and moving up to the crown). The pendulum will swing in a particular direction or movement based on the energy of each chakra. A smooth, circular movement generally indicates a balanced chakra, while erratic movements or no movement at all may indicate a blockage.
2. Clear and Balance the Chakras
To balance a chakra, hold your pendulum over the chakra and set the intention to clear any blockages. Visualise the pendulum drawing out any negative or stagnant energy, allowing the chakra to flow freely. Repeat this process for each chakra, focusing on any areas that need extra attention.
Cleansing and Charging Your Pendulum
Because pendulums absorb energy, it’s important to cleanse them regularly to keep their vibrations clear and effective. You can cleanse your pendulum by:
- Moonlight: Leave it in the light of the full moon to recharge its energy.
- Sage or Palo Santo: Smudge your pendulum with sage or palo santo smoke to remove any negative energy.
- Selenite: Place your pendulum on a selenite charging plate to cleanse and recharge it naturally.
