How is a pendulum used with Craniosacral Therapy? Health in Motion incorporates the use of a pendulum in the craniosacral therapy session to confirm findings about the client's condition. When a condition is suspected, the pendulum is placed over the client, and according to the direction in which it moves, the energy can be determined to be harmonious (clockwise) or inharmonious (counterclockwise or side to side). The intensity of the movement reveals the rate of energetic charge. With this knowledge, the practitioner can apply techniques that will dissipate any inharmonious energy and create balance.

What are the materials used in making a pendulum? Pendulums are made out of a variety of materials, including wood, precious and semi-precious metals and stones, or any combination of these materials. Any simple item hanging from a chain or thin line can be effective. The shape of the item can be round, pointed, octagonal, or teardrop. Blanca Noel uses a pendulum made from Moroccan amber. The key to success when using a pendulum is not the material itself, but the sensitivity and knowledge employed by the practitioner.
