IN THIS LESSON

Going Beyond Yes and No

Now that you’ve learned how to get clear yes and no responses, it’s time to take the next step. Dowsing is like learning a language — and while yes/no is the alphabet, you’ll soon discover it can say a lot more.

1. Recognising the “Neutral” Response

Sometimes, your pendulum won’t give you a clear yes or no. It might just hang still, wobble a little, or change directions. This isn’t failure — it’s a genuine response.

  • It could mean the timing isn’t right.

  • It could mean your question is unclear.

  • Or it might simply be saying: “Relax, you’re too attached to the answer.”

Learning to accept neutral answers is important. It keeps your dowsing honest.

2. Directional Answers

Once you’re comfortable, you can start using other movements as answers. For example:

  • Yes = forward/back

  • No = side to side

  • Neutral = still

  • Choice = swing towards the option

By setting these intentions before you ask, you create more ways for your pendulum to communicate.

3. Using a Simple Chart

A chart is like giving your pendulum a map. Imagine drawing a circle and dividing it into four slices. Label each slice with a choice: for example “Apple,” “Banana,” “Orange,” “Pear.” Hold your pendulum over the centre and ask:

“Which fruit would be best for my body right now?”

Watch which slice it swings towards. That’s your answer.

You can make charts for anything: foods, supplements, emotions, daily priorities — whatever you want guidance on.

4. Practice Exercise

  • Draw a simple circle and divide it into four.

  • Label it with four different choices.

  • Hold your pendulum steady above the centre.

  • Ask your question and allow it to show you.

The key here is trust and patience. The more you practice, the clearer and faster your answers will come.
