Their origin dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptian and Chinese, where they were used to obtain answers and address fractal, spiritual, emotional, and health issues.
A pendulum is typically composed of a weight suspended by a chain or cord, allowing free movement. In divination, the pendulum is used to answer simple questions like "yes" or "no," based on the movement (circular or linear) it makes in response to the energy of the practitioner or environment.
In the holistic context, the pendulum is employed to identify energy imbalances in the body, assist in chakra cleansing, and detect spiritual blockages.
Holistic therapists also use it to locate and balance energy points during cleansing and/or healing sessions.
In summary, the pendulum is a versatile tool that combines intuition and subtle energy to facilitate spiritual readings, therapeutic practices, and self-discovery processes.
