direction of the swing of the pendulum. For me it is back and forth in front of me. Some people get a circular direction. Some the opposite of mine. Once you have established direction, then ask some simple questions to test your body’s answers.
“Is my name ______? Am I a man?” Then ask something like “Should I have a glass of wine with dinner tonight?” I often ask that question and get a yes. Other times, I get a no.
Some people will also ask for a direction for an “I don’t know response.” When I ask that question I get a circular motion similar to what is shown in the diagram.
My experience is that the accuracy of the answers depends upon two things:
First, a belief that it will work and second, the quality of the question.
On that second issue, see the chapter on questions.
Summarizing that chapter, the question must be authentic, meaning that you truly want an answer; the question must have a yes, no or maybe answer and finally it should be phrased in a positive way meaning “should I have a glass of wine with dinner tonight” rather than “should I avoid wine with dinner tonight?”
