  • Hi Amy I'm 15 and trying this but I'm a little worried that's it's my hand shaking thats moving the pendulum so do I need to hold it when I ask a question ? Thx for the help

  • @tripelkiller360 try resting your elbow on the table and see if your hand relaxes. for most people, resting the elbow hinders them, but you might be opposite of that. Also focus on relaxing your wrist. good luck. 

  • Hey Amy, Great videos! I have a question concerning them. I was asking a question using the tips in this video- have someone else answer, use the phrase "clear and unbiased answer", swing it a different way, and I felt very confident with the same answer I always got. I followed through with the question and the answer should have been no...so then what? I knew I was biased, that's why I used these tips, but my bias still leaked through. Is a pendulum just not for me? What am I doing wrong?

  • @ashleys1247 what do you mean "the answer should be no."? What were you asking and how did you phrase the question?

  • @amyscottgrant Well, I kept getting guidance to buy a lottery ticket. I had put out the wish to receive money, had a dream about a lottery ticket, so I purchased one. Before I checked the winning numbers, I asked my pendulum if it was worth x amount of dollars. It kept saying yes, but when I checked the ticket wasn't worth anything. I phrased it like so- "Please give me a clear and unbiased answer- is the lottery ticket I bought on April 11th worth $50,000?" Is the phrasing the problem?

  • @ashleys1247 yes, it's not really an ideal question because it's best to ask questions related to choices and decisions and actions you can take NOW, as opposed to things that have already happened. (ATC, is it optimal for me to buy a ticket this week? ATC, are these the most optimal numbers for me to play? How many tickets are most optimal for me to buy for this drawing? Is a quick pick the most optimal ticket?) Get the idea?

  • Amy, I tried holding the pendulum with the hand sign like you do, but sometimes the answer I asked about wasn't accurate. Is it that my hand sign holding the pendulum isn't right?

  • your videos are extremely helpful. i love your personality too!! i couldn't help but smile :)
