You suspect. To apply or not to apply, travel, marry? Talking to friends is helpful, but you’re not done yet. Think commuting! Such a necklace with a stone at its end and a point like a pencil. You use the pendulum to talk to your subconscious mind, with yourself and with your deepest desires. We share tips for home, garden and kitchen commuters below.
The pendulum is looking for you
Do not look for a shuttle, because the shuttle is looking for you. Find a suitable store, of course, otherwise it won’t get done. For example, La Caldera in Scheveningen, Pleiade in Tilburg, and Aurana in Hoorn have an impressive collection. Hold the stone in your left hand and try to feel the energy released by the stone. Don’t you feel it? Then choose the one you like best. Choose quickly, your intuition does not take much time.
pendulum tip 1: Try the pendulum in the store (if this is possible again), in a self-respecting spiritual store no one is surprised.

Getting to know each other is a prerequisite for smooth cooperation with your pendulum. You can do this by asking questions that the pendulum can answer with yes, no, or maybe. You first want to know which motion represents which answer. So ask questions you know the answer to (Is my birthday tomorrow? Do I have two siblings?) so you can determine what your commute is doing. Then write this. There are three options for ‘yes’, ‘no’, and ‘maybe’: moving from left to right, front to back, or in circles.
pendulum tip 2Place your elbow on the table (or other stable surface) and hold the string between your thumb and forefinger so that the pendulum hangs down in a vertical line. Been completed? Then you can start.
Get in the mood
You don’t need to have dolphin sounds, rock crystal buckets, or a clean house to work with a pendulum. It’s a good idea to clear your mind a bit and make sure you focus on interacting with the pendulum. When it rests, the pendulum vibrates and nothing else happens.
pendulum tip 3: Make it light. Talk to your pendulum as if it were a friend. Try to get any ideas in the background and navigate the way that works for you.

Navigating is talking to your Higher Self, and your subconscious mind, perhaps with a mentor. Start with what you feel comfortable with and don’t be shocked by what’s going on. If you find it intimidating, don’t ask questions about the future, just about your feelings. If you’re skeptical, test your commute with questions about the immediate future (Will my train be delayed tomorrow? Will Grandma call me later?). Do not ask questions in which desire is the father of thought, because then you will lead and will not get an honest answer.
pendulum tip 4: Shuttle intentionally, think carefully in advance what exactly you want to know.
Share your experiences
Read about navigation on various forums and websites, watch video blogs and share your experiences with fellow travelers. This is educational and fun! Write down what you discover. Is your shuttle not running right away? Don’t worry, this is probably not the right shuttle for you or you need more time to open up about the answers. Moving and living more easily is a process.
pendulum tip 5: Don’t move around for too long, especially if you’re just starting out.
Examples of Shuttle Questions
- Is there a future in my relationship?
- Can I still progress in the work I do now?
- Am I blocked by fear? Am I aware of that fear?
- Is tonight’s dream related to…?
- Is friendship with… holding me back?
- Will I be traveling to Australia soon?
- Is now the time to sell my home?
