<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf the pendulum starts wobbling around, stands still, or behaves strangely, it can mean different things. Most commonly, the pendulum is confused by a too complex question. Maybe you made things a bit too complicated. You get the best results when you ask obvious and short questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1: Not fully programmed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Another reason the pendulum acts strange is that it doesn’t want to tell and doesn’t have a programmed swing for this action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you get a little more experienced, you can always add “don’t want to say” or “maybe.” Just ask the pendulum to show you the swing. It is a bit harder to test this, but if the yes and no swings are working – it is a big chance they may be or don’t want to tell work too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other common issues can be that you are anxious or not in a good mood. Not being in a good and relaxed mode can transfer into the reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2: Emotionally charged questions (bias)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you ask very emotionally charged questions, you can start interfering with the answers with your bias. If you want a response to be something particular, it might end up in a cranky pendulum. This is very common in love readings or emotionally charged situations when you ask for outcomes, how another person feels about you, and so forth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3: Residual energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, it might be good to try resetting and cleaning the pendulum if the problems persist. Residual energy from the surroundings or previous readings might skew things off. There are different ways to cleanse your pendulum. The easiest is to tap on it three times, smudge it, or do a salt bath overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4: The wrong type of pendulum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n You might experience wonky readings if you use a pendulum that is not right for you. If the chain or string is too short, it can be hard to get clear answers. You might also use a crystal pendulum that stores a lot of energy from the surroundings. If you have negative energies lurking in your home, you might benefit from a copper or metal pendulum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5: Forcing answers or fortunetelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you force the pendulum to answer in a way you like, the pendulum might get grumpy. This means asking the same question repeatedly, hoping for a “better” outcome. Fortunetelling and asking for answers that will benefit you (egoistic) might also create wonky replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6: Negative entities or demons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n In rare cases, you might have stumbled upon negative energy. If your pendulum is acting strange, it is recommended that you stop the session and clear your pendulum. You have to go with your gut feeling on this one. If you feel something is off, it often is. It is always best to be safe than sorry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also recommended that you smudge the area to get rid of any negative energies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7: Your posture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you sit too still or have the wrong posture, you might get wonky readings. What is the best posture for you comes with experience, but it is not recommended to sit too still or with taut muscles. Try to relax and be sure you are well grounded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often take three deep breaths and shake my arms and legs to eliminate tense feelings. Sometimes it helps to hum to get rid of internal stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#8: Asking questions about others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Spirits using your subconscious mind to bring answers through the pendulum don’t always feel comfortable answering questions about others. Suppose you ask, “what does X think about me,” and you might get strange readings. Focus on yourself and your energies, and let go of others. It is not for you to know some things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9: Trust the pendulum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it is your best not to know things. Wonky and unclear swings might indicate that it does not know or does not want to answer. If you are channeling spirits of light, they respond in a way that is for your own higher good. If you trust your pendulum, you will build a strong relationship over time. Yes, you do build “relationships” with your divination tools. They will become friends that care for you and guide you through life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
