How to Use a Lapis Lazuli Pendulum
1. Cleanse the Pendulum
Before using it, cleanse your pendulum to remove any lingering energy. You can do this by:
- Smudging with sage or palo santo
- Leaving it under moonlight overnight
- Placing it on a bed of sea salt or Selenite for a few hours
2. Set Your Intention
Hold the pendulum in your hand and clearly state (aloud or mentally) your intention—for clarity, truth, healing, or guidance. Lapis Lazuli is associated with wisdom and inner vision, so it works well for insight-based questions.
3. Define Your “Yes” and “No”
Hold the pendulum chain between your fingers, keeping your arm steady and the pendulum dangling freely. Ask a few simple yes/no questions you already know the answers to (e.g., “Is my name ___?”). Observe:
- A vertical swing might mean yes
- A horizontal swing might mean no
- A circular motion could mean unclear or rephrase
Pendulum responses vary, so take a moment to calibrate yours.
4. Ask Your Questions
Keep questions focused and clear. Start with “yes” or “no” inquiries:
- “Is this the right time to make a change?”
- “Is my energy aligned today?”
- “Should I focus on this path right now?”
Always stay relaxed, open-minded, and respectful during the session.
5. Cleanse and Store Safely
After each use, gently wipe your pendulum and store it in a soft pouch or dedicated space to keep its energy pure.
