The Pendulum

"Per Hogseth - EzineArticles.com Expert Author"

By using the pendulum we can find out which areas are being neglected and need special attention.

We are all inclined to limit our lives by concentrating our attention on one small area at the expense of the whole. We all know people who are very successful in one area of their lives but dismal failures in others.

For instance, someone might be at the top of his or her field professionally, but have a string of broken relationships. Someone else may be very intellectual, but totally out of touch with his or her feelings, and so on.

If we are out of tune this way, we can rectify the situation with our pendulum!

According to Isadore Friedman, well known radiesthetist (pendulum user) in his book: “The Mathematics of Consciousness” five areas should be balanced for the individual to live happily and well. These are:

• the physical aspect (food, clothing, good health)
• the mental aspect (intellectual ability, the ability to communicate and share ideas)
• the financial aspect (career, earning enough money to do the things one wants to do)
• the social aspect (friends, emotional nourishment, love) and
• the spiritual aspect (inner growth, search for the meaning and purpose in life).

If any of these areas are imbalanced the person is likely to feel unhappy and frustrated. Friedman writes the five aspects on a five-pointed star and recommends that you

check yourself out in each category once a month. Hold your pendulum over each point of the star in turn and ask yourself, “Am I balanced in this area of my life?”

Friedman also suggests using the twelve houses of the Zodiac as together they cover just about every aspect of a person`s life. Draw them in a circle divided into twelve areas (called houses) and write the different categories in each house. Hold your pendulum over each house and see if it give you a positive or negative reading. If it shows negative over, say, the second house, it shows that you have negative and blocked energies which are causing problems in the area of money and finance. Once you know this, you can take practical steps to correct the situation. You may find that this block has been there just about all of your life, and you may have to think was back into the past to find out what originally caused it.
