If you've ever hoped that pendulum use might be more about a key to understanding self and universe and less about knowing what vitamins to buy, this is the book for you. Chapter 5 on Self Mastery contains immediately effective, simple breath exercises that give an instant access to the clear, non-attached, impartial mental state necessary for divination--and for life! A very lucid and ethical presentation. Not airy-fairy at all. This book is very grounded, also very supportive and encouraging. Has greatly increased my trust that this is a reliable tool, and that I will be able to increase my ability to use it more accurately. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book being a bit experienced in using a pendulum but wanting to learn more and the description does say "Beginning to Advanced Instructions". Now I will honestly say that I skimmed over the first large chunk of the book because it was discussing that which I already know - how to connect with your pendulum, using the intuitive mind, exercises to work with your pendulum, etc. From what I can see, it will be very helpful for a person new to pendulum work because they will really get to know how to work with it in this manner. Parts I didn't agree with so much (and this is own personal preference) was how the author mentioned how you have to ask the Infinite each and every time if it is okay to use your pendulum at this time along with other such questions. I have never done so nor felt the need. I just pull out my pendulum and use it. There may be times that I ask "is this something I am not to know?" or some such question but that isn't always immediate. I also should mention here that I do not follow any religious path nor believe in any sort of godhead or deity therefore me asking the "Infinite" for assistance or the "okay" to use my tool would really be quite hypocritical of me. I also do not agree with a section where the author tells the reader that no matter how much they wish to use the pendulum for divination work that they are not to do it at all. The author warns the reader away from using the pendulum in such a manner and quite harshly if I might add even telling the reader that their pendulum will not work correctly for them if they do so ever again. I must say that I have never found this to be the case. I also want to add that I have not finished reading this book yet but I am over 3/4 of the way finished. I agree with the other reviewer that this book is written in an easy-to-follow and down-to-earth style. However, I do feel there are many times that the book is a bit airy-fairy. If it bothers you, skip over the airy-fairy parts and work the exercises and I think you'll get something out of this. However, it can be a good learning device - I just wouldn't limit this book to your only area of learning to use a pendulum. All I know is, I'm glad I only paid $1.92 for this book used. I just wish there were more "meaty" sections in the advanced area.
