To clear, hold pendulum between hands and blow on it or rub it between the palms.

Hold pendulum comfortably in the fingers of your writing hand, with the chain and bob hanging free.  If chain is longer,  wrap it around fingers.  Brace your elbow on a table or the arm of the chair.

Relax.  Take a deep breath.  Hold to the count of five and release. Repeat several times, mentally relaxing between breaths.  Focus on being emotionally calm. 

Hold the pendulum up, and swing it forward and back while saying, “This is like nodding my head ‘yes.’   It is everyone’s ‘yes’ and it will be my ‘yes’ also.  Next move it from side to side and say, This is like shaking my head ‘no.’ It is everyone’s ‘no’, and will be my ‘no’ also.  Repeat this procedure several times. 

Next, ‘hold the pendulum still and ask for a ‘yes,’ and then a ‘no’ response.  The pendulum should move appropriately for each question. If it does not move say Higher Self, (or ‘Subconscious”) please say “Yes” louder and move more so I can see it clearly.” 

When you have established ‘yes’ and ‘no’ you need one more signal for ‘Neutral’ or ‘I can’t give you an answer now.”  Ask your higher self to move the pendulum in a circle.

Begin to experiment with your new Life Skill.  Ask simple physical questions.  Avoid emotional issues and questions about the future until you are much more skilled.
