Book Description

Publication Date: April 2, 2003

Everyone feels indecisive sometimes. It may be that we're not sure which job offer to accept, whether to buy or sell stocks, which advice to listen to, or what therapy will make us well again. Sometimes our pace of life is so frantic that we can't make decisions quickly and confidently enough. Yet deep in our subconscious we have access to a huge body of knowledge about the world around us, about others and ourselves, and about how things work. Author and photographer Maxi Cohen explains how the pendulum can be consulted to solve most any problem. The cards are based on different areas of life, from Divining Wisdom to Divining Creativity, from Divining Abundance to Divining Relationships. No matter what decision needs to be made, The Art of the Pendulum provides a way to find the solution by responding to any question that requires an either/or, yes/no, or multiple-choice answer.The Art of the Pendulum kit contains a metal pendulum, instruction booklet, and 12 cards to help readers discover the answers to their burning questions. It's an artful way for seekers to find their higher calling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pendulum Importance, March 25, 2004

The "Art of the Pendulum"

In a world that has become more complex and frosted with ambiguity, to be able to access the divine message, what we call "intuitive knowledge" is of the utmost importance.

Knowing how to use the pendulum is part and parcel of the retrieval of the universal knowledge that comes from the universal energy.

Energy medicine as well as other fields of endeavor such as quantum physics rely on the ability to access the universal knowledge. When used properly, the pendulum adds invaluable information.

I have used the pendulum for many years for my own personal needs until I became confident of its divination capacity. Recently, within the past year, I have begun to give it the proper place in my practice. This brought back to my memory the events of ten years ago when one of my nurses used to consult the pendulum to check the correctness of the nutritional programs I used to prescribe. I was then solely using my left brain and she would validate or invalidate its correctness with the pendulum. When she finally shared that with me, rather than getting offended, I became curious and started to experiment with it myself and, to my great surprise, I often found that my prescriptions yielded better results. I also had the opportunity to compare my findings with that of a large computer that we had in our Huntington office. The Enclosion did what, in fact, the pendulum now does in a much simpler way. I will be forever grateful to Barbara S. for opening my mind to the use of the pendulum. In order to use the pendulum, one has to be very balanced and unbiased, that is essential. The book The Art of the Pendulum offers an array of pertinent information and delightful pictures to use to train in the art of pendulum. It is a primer that I truly recommend. I did, in fact, purchase one myself about six months ago to see if it gave valuable information and I enjoyed reading it and learned a few more things. The book comes with a very fine pendulum and the set of decorative cards to sharpen your skills. Its attractive packaging, designed by its author (who has the added attribute of being a very fine artist) adds to the pleasure of this new venture.

I am certain that you will find The Art of the Pendulum as useful and appealing as I did.

This review is from: The Art of the Pendulum (Paperback)

This is a wonderfully crafted, beautifully illustrated kit for using the power of the pendulum to uncover what is true for each of us. From the gorgeous cards, each designed to be used for specific types of questions or issues , to the box the kit comes in (which has an effortless magnetic closure) , The Art Of The Pendulum is very well thought out and of high quality- and at a great price! The enclosed book explains all you might require to use the pendulum in the kit to seek your own answers. And it's a great conversation piece-I keep it on my coffee table and everyone who sees it wants to try it! I'm buying more to give as gifts to my family and friends.
