That is AWESOME to actually see it done!!! Thanks for posting that!!

[mtn.mama]

If you're going to use this method, please make sure you let the crystal swing for a good long time- like at least 30 seconds. Sometimes it will switch to "NO!" after quite awhile...


Also, if the crystal just makes loops or circles- that is a no.


When I use this test on my little one, I wait until she's asleep. Then I put the questionable substance in the palm of her hand, and I hang the crystal over her wrist.


This method works for everything... food, lotion, soap, fabric, vitamins, medicines, supplements- and probably environmentals too.

Woah....that's crazy! I hadn't planned on doing this because I didn't think we needed to but after seeing it I really want to go get a crystal and try it out. Hopefully it will confirm what I know and not give me more things to cut out.

Yeah, no kidding.

Where would you go to find one in our area Mary?

I found this on the web:

http://distanttreating.homestead.com...umtesting.html

Here are excerpts:

Pendulum testing, like any other kind of testing, usually requires practice for accuracy, although some individuals seem to become effective right away. There are several ways of using one, but I will tell you mine: hold the pendulum by the string with your hand even with your forehead and the pendulum weight swinging six to eight inches below.

Always ask questions which can be answered "yes" or "no" only, but first find out what your pendulum will do to indicate a "yes" or "no." It will usually swing back-and-forth for "yes" and side-to-side for "no." Sometimes the pendulum swings in a circle, one way for a "yes" and the other direction for "no.". Any motion is OK, though, as long as the "yes" and "no" motions are different from each other.


A few tips:

Don't be discouraged if at first your answers are wrong. Keep practicing and you will get better.

As for where to find pendulums, you might try your local psychic related book store. Sometimes health food stores have, or know where to find, them.

The word "pendulum" in a search engine should yield mail order sources. I have never bought one myself. I usually take a length of string and a socket from a socket wrench set and make one. They work just fine.

Some people feel they must have a crystal on a gold chain or something similar. It really doesn't matter as long what you use works for you.

I'm sure there are a million and one places but I haven't thought of one yet. If I track one down I'll PM you. I may not have a chance to go searching for a while though.

[changingseasons]

Well hey- I have a socket set. (I just read that quote from mtn.mama.) Maybe I will try that.

DP said he knows of a great rock store that would have some... he didn't know the name though. I will let you know if we go any time soon.

[mtn.mama]

I've heard that you can use a heavy washer, or a magnet or just a dumb rock...

[changingseasons]

Holy !! I just tried this with a ROCK and got results... I have a bucket of cool rocks that we've found on various beaches, so I pulled out one of my favorites, tied a string on, and have been playing with it ever since.

How on earth does this work? And with a rock no less?!?

I tried a couple products that I know are good/bad, and it totally worked. Then I thought, "well... maybe I'm subconsciously moving my hand and it's making the rock swing that way." So keeping my string-holding hand still, I turned my wrist (with coconut oil in my palm), and the rock immediately changed direction! And I did it again- same thing!! I am completely in shock here. Can you tell I was a bit of a skeptic?

One question though- again, just in case I was subconsciously moving my string hand, I tied the string to a hanging lamp and put my wrist under the rock- nothing. Just sat there. So AM I actually subconsciously moving it myself? Or why does it only work when I'm holding it?? Does the energy have to move from the one hand, through the rock, and then to the other?

Just throwing out ideas.... because as soon as DP gets home, I have to show him. He already thinks I'm crazy because I was talking about it yesterday. So I have to make sure I have all my facts straight when I try to explain it to him.

Why don't you try a blind test once your DP gets home. Lay out 4 foods - 2 you know are safe and 2 you know are not safe. Try to put them in a similar feeling thing - like put a little of the food on a paper towel or something so you can't feel the texture. Then line up your rock and arm, close your eyes and have DP place each food in your hand and watch the rock without saying anything. He can then tell you what happened, what direction it went.....maybe this will help any subconscious moving???

Ooh- that's a great idea. I think I will do a blind test on myself too, just to convince myself further.

Yes, it is you subconciously moving it, the idea is that you tap into what you subconciously know though so that's the root of it, if you believe you actually know the answer psycically that just means this gives an outlet to it. Pendulum tests are also for telling girl/boy in pregnancy and things like did I leave my keys in this room or that.

So.... what if it gives me a "no" for a food that I really thought was ok, or vise-versa?? How is it working then??

Yeah that.

Clearly your subconscious disagrees with your conscious mind.

[Wugmama]

I don't believe that you are subconsciously moving it. I personally believe in muscle testing. And I believe that the reason the pendulum testing works is the same reason the muscle testing works - whatever reason that may be.

I've read on this board, and had one mama in the waiting area of a chiro clinic tell me in person, that they had muscle testing done first, then blood allergy testing done, and they match.

For us, the muscle testing results have changed over time. I do believe that at times our bodies can handle something, at other times it can't.

Still trying to find our way, but that is where I stand now.

I don't know how or why...
but I've fooled around with this alot now
and in my mind it supercedes all western medicine
and the results exactly matched dd's patch test.

We've done blind tests and tried to fool it.
The results may change over time
at least they do for us
because what our bodies can deal with changes.

My chiro says that the answers it gives
are time sensitive.
So if you're overloaded on something
like you take a megadose of B vitamins
and then ask it about B vitamins
it may say no at that time
but the next day tell you yes.

Get it?

I've also read that your body
must be adequately hydrated
for it to work properly.

And that if the crystal doesn't move for you
then you can practice and train it.

So Interesting!

Below is some from that page, but there is more:

Humans have been using pendulums for thousands of years to help them in their lives. Scientists have discovered that the pendulum is set into motion by tiny movements of the muscles in your finger tips and they have detected the slight electrical impulses from the brain to the muscles in your finger tips holding the pendulum. So no mystical action there. I believe that your sub conscious uses your senses on a level that you are not aware of. Scientists know that your brain, via your nose, can detect many 1,000 's of different smells but more importantly your subconscious can work on the molecular level and recognize a substance by it's molecular signature, molecules have a chemical signature which your subconscious can compare against in it's own data base and from experience recognize if the substance is good or bad for you. (just think about what a qualified wine taster can detect), although most of us are only consciously aware of several hundred different smells, the same applies with taste, hearing, sight and touch, we are only aware of limited features of our sensory equipment. But your subconscious, the part of your brain that controls your breathing, heartbeat etc, has total access to all your equipment, it also controls your dreams and possibly inspiration. Your subconscious although subordinate to your conscious mind, never sleeps and is always on a hair trigger.

Okay, I got a crystal (CS - at Marlene's). This is crazy sh*t! As far as I can tell I am passing with everything (I never suspected intollerances in myself). However, how in the heck can I test an 11 month old? There is no way I can do it in her sleep I don't think.
An interesting note to share, though, about the subconscious moving or not...
When I first tried dairy and gluten products in my hand (yogurt, tortillas were the first 2) they moved "no" almost immediately. These are the two biggies we are avoiding - dairy is the one known intollerance for DD and gluten is out for healing. I thought, OMG this is crazy!. Then I started testing all kinds of foods in our house. Some tested safe right away, sometimes the crystal stayed still for a long time before moving and sometimes it did a bit of a diaganal (sp?) for a minute. So...after I had been doing it for a while I went back and did variuos dairy and gluten products again. everything tested safe. I am wondering if I was totally impacting it the first time since I was new to it and these were the things we were avoiding (we're avoiding other things too but not because of intollerances, just trying to avoid causing allergies to biggies like peanuts and shellfish) so I "knew" something would probably happen. Like I said, I really don't think I have any intollerances so this is not surprising to me but I am wondering how to translate to DD. I would like to test corn and tomatoes on her just to make sure those are okay. I won't be trialing dairy with her for quite some time so I'll probably be able to test in her sleep by then. After her 12 month WBV I may start rotating gluten but it will depend on her poop and other things, plus what her doc says. Okay, totally starting to ramble now...
