Daily OM Inspiration ~ Using our body as a pendulum

[Julie]

Learning to trust our intuition is something that can connect us to our higher selves. Sometimes it might not seem easy to do this. Our thoughts and minds often get in the way. But by accessing our innermost self, we will find that the information we receive is usually what we truly need at that moment. One of the techniques that allows us to get in touch with our deepest font of wisdom is using our body as a pendulum. The simple act of letting our physical being lead us in a certain direction can offer us deep insights, so we can find the answers we seek. Many of us may have tried using a pendulum or crystal on a chain as a dousing tool to acquire the information we need to make decisions or even find lost objects. Using our bodies puts us much more closely in tune with our being. To use your body as a pendulum, ask your higher self a question, and wait for your body to respond in either a forward-tilting or backward-tilting motion. The first step is to understand how our higher self communicates with us by centering our bodies, asking ourselves the directions for “yes” and “no,” and noting which way our body moves. For a lot of people, a forward motion is “yes,” and the body tilting backward is a “no” answer. It is easier to start with simple questions at first to understand how our higher self communicates with us. As we become more used to the messages we receive and how we process them, we can start asking for more specific things, such as what dosage of herbs to take or which foods would best nourish our bodies. Using this technique in the grocery store or when shopping for vitamins and remedies can be extremely helpful. Since we are always present in our bodies, understanding how we can use our bodies as pendulums is a tool we can use at any given moment in our lives. Letting our bodies tell us what is happening inside of us will help guide us through not just daily choices but also major life decisions. The more we allow our bodies to open up and share the connection it has with our deeper self, the easier we can truly access the knowledge we hold so deeply within.
