This is a great pendulum to meditate with and to use for help with everyday questions, and being metal is a good weight.
Pendulums have always been popular dowsing tools, dowsing relies on our acceptance and openness to natural energies which are every where, it seeks to invoke the information hidden in the subconscious mind. With the seeker and the pendulum still the seeker asks a simple question to establish yes/no answers from the pendulum, when he is happy with which way the pendulum circles to give the answer then he may start to ask more detailed questions.
