What is a Pendulum? 
A pendulum is typically a portable device that utilizes gravity and momentum to respond to energy in a way that is meaningful to the pendulum user. It's a tool that helps your intuition or "higher self" communicate with your conscious self. (The higher self is defined as the soul or the part of one's being that connects with the divine or the universe. It is the non-physical, spiritual self, also called the "true self", "soul self", or "intuitive self".)
