First of all, i’m not sure if i’m writing this under the right category. Since it’s about connecting with your intuïtion, i thought i might consider it under the topic spirituality. But i would like to know if someone think that’s not right. Maybe it doesn’t matter too much, but would be interesting to hear others’ thoughts about it 🙂

Recently i’ve become interested in dowsing, don’t know much about it yet. I am very surprised to see myself writing this and see myself having bought my first pendulum yesterday. Because i come from a family where there was no openness for such things, everything very strict and rigid. I took over that way of thinking, eventhough something in me always felt that there was more.
So i guess that things change in life 🙂

Quite a while ago, somebody talked to me about dowsing – a woman who i considered very wise – and she sparked my interest. Later on i was surprised to see that a lot of practitioners like homeopaths for example, use this in order to decide which treatment or which dosage. A while ago i started to think about it again and thought that perhaps it might be a way to help me to connect with my inner self, and learn other things. So i started to think to buy a pendulum – although that lady told me you don’t need anything special, and a good dowser she knows, who is even in charge of a dowsing organisation, even uses a toilet bolt on a chain.

Yesterday i was in a shop where they sold pendulums. I took one and asked it if i should buy it, it said no. A bit later i came back cause i wanted to buy a present for my partner, and i asked an other pendulum, and it said yes.

This morning i was asking it some questions and i found it a bit confusing.

I am completly new at this, and probably will have to learn much about it, how it works and how i should deal with it. So it would be interesting to hear other people’s experience or knowledge. I’m reading things on the internet as well, only i don’t always know how reliable those things are. So i’m trying to use my common sense with reading those things.

This morning, the pendulum seemed to change direction for the yes symbol now and then.
There also seems to be a third answer – i was trying to ask it what exactly that answer means and i got a bit different answer. First was something like ‘not sure’ and later it seemed more that i was not supposed to know that answer at the moment.
It also sometimes said no and then yes, or vice versa when i repeated the same question.

So i’m wondering.. is it a matter of practice, that i need to get used to it?

I was also thinking, if it sometimes gives me answers that i want to hear – maybe i need to learn to ask it with an open attitude. Maybe without really knowing it, i’m holding on to the answer i’m expecting, so already forcing it to give me that answer?. Maybe i need to learn to be really open inside of myself, open for answers that i don’t really want to hear.

Cause i read that it can give you wrong answers for many reasons (e.g. if you are asking information about somebody else without having the permission, if you are not ready for the answer, if there are a lot of people talking and thinking about that subject, it might be harder to get the right answer and not just pick up the thoughts from others about it…) so maybe this might be a disturbing factor for me getting the right answer?

I remember that lady told me, not to do it for more than (i think it was 10 minutes) in the beginning. Maybe i was just going on for a bit longer and should start with short sessions and very simple questions?

I have no idea how it works, but i do find it fascinating!

If anybody has some feedback on this, i would love to hear it.
Or if anybody has an opinion about, would be interested to hear it.
