Smokey Quartz is a very powerful universal stone, essential to any crystal collection. With a wispy, ethereal brown color, this tumble feels calm and grounding. It excels at absorbing and transmuting negativity, including stress, fear, jealousy, and anger. It literally draws unwanted energy out of the aura.
Smokey Quartz also helps gently dissolve emotional blockages, old patterns, and past traumas, replacing them with calm, clarity, and positive, pragmatic thought processes. It is excellent for use during grief. If you are prone to feeling spacey or ungrounded after meditation, holding Smoky Quartz is essential for anchoring your spiritual energy back into your body
Practitioners believe pendulums tap into your subconscious mind, intuition, or spiritual guidance through subtle muscle movements in your hand (called ideomotor responses), which translate inner knowledge into physical movement. Some believe the pendulum connects to intuition, spirit guides or angels, or universal energy.
To use the pendulum, hold the chain tight between both hands on a table to limit shakiness. You hold the chain between your thumb and forefinger, letting the weighted end hang freely. After establishing which movements mean "yes," "no," and "maybe/unclear" (usually by asking questions you know the answers to), you can ask questions and observe how it swings:
-
Back and forth (toward/away from you) - often means "yes."
-
Side to side (left/right) - often means "no"
-
Circular clockwise - can mean "yes" or positive energy
-
Circular counterclockwise - can mean "no" or negative energy
-
Still or erratic - unclear or shouldn't ask
Tips for Beginners:
-
Cleanse your pendulum regularly (moonlight, sage, sound)
-
Start with simple questions you can verify
-
Stay neutral and open-minded about answers
-
Ground yourself before using it
-
Ask clear, specific yes/no questions
-
Practice regularly to build connection
