With a pendulum you need to disengage the ego. No wishes, no expectations, no WORRY. Of course we can influence the pendulum, the idea is not to.

In Reiki circles, not being able to let go is known as a blocked crown chakra. Don't ask me how I know lol.


I have trained in Reiki circles. I found it to be a confining dogma set up to make money, the symbols were even added later to give the practice "more bling" and hook you into paying for higher levels and attunements. This was just my personal experience and conclusion. The gift of healing lies in all of us, the Energy is there - period.

I feel Energy work and energy healing is real - I have seen more vivid displays of its power through Qi Gong masters, and from the pew of a Pentecostal Church which kindly allowed me to witness their services during an observational period along my seeking path. If someone uses Reiki to channel energy, great for them - but there are many paths.

My personal path has shown me "the gift" can change and morph over time and guides and practices may choose you along the way. I think some divination tools may chose you based on your genetics, just as some aspects of the gift are probably based on genetics and have sound reasoning as to why. Electromagnetic fields vary depending on topography and coastal areas. Electromagnetic fields can affect brain states, 14 or more generations born in certain areas strong in the gift like Ireland - probably is the reason for such a robust Fairy and Leprechaun culture. These people are probably more likely to experience a "vision" beyond the visible spectrum dependent on generation after generation being exposed.

As a casual observer I have begun to wonder about events, mythologies etc. about a certain latitude band on our Planet in the Northern Hemisphere. If we know that certain latitudes are more apt to view Northern Lights as a result of electromagnetic hits from the sun - why not all the life forms that live within after generations of exposures to the same varied fields?

Anyway - rambling - I think tools sometimes choose you - or they do not - extensive shadow work will help a person with their ego involvement - its not for the faint of heart - and requires daily practice, or that has been the case for me. I have to work on that monster every day - and what a sneaky bastard it is.
