34. Communication with Your Pet
Your pendulum provides an excellent way to interact and communicate with your pets and other animals. You can check your pet’s emotional health and understand the reasons why he or she behaves in a particular way. You can diagnose any health problems that may occur, and will be able to enjoy pleasant conversations that will give you insights you’d never learn using any other method. Doing this will also enable you to see situations from the animal’s point of view. As a result, the bond between you and your pet will strengthen.
Another benefit of communicating with your pet in this way is that your intuitive skills will expand and develop. With practice, you may discover that you can communicate with your pet telepathically, and will not necessarily need your pendulum as a communication aid.
Hugging a loved pet is one of the best feelings in the world. Spending time with a pet can restore your spirits in an instant, because they’re endlessly supportive, forgiving, empathetic, and loving. Their healing energy can even increase the length of their human companions’ lives. A study of patients with heart disease found that pet owners were more likely to be alive one year later than the patients who didn’t have a pet (Friedmann, Katcher, Thomas, Lynch, and Messent 1980, 307-312). Interestingly, it made no difference if the person was rich or poor, married or single, surrounded by friends or a loner. Having a pet to love was the strongest single factor.
Most pet owners believe they can communicate with their pets. This communication can improve enormously with the help of your pendulum. It’s a five-step process.
1. Spend several minutes cuddling, talking to, and playing with your pet. Keep talking, but gradually reduce the play to gentle stroking and patting.
2. Stop making physical contact, but continue talking for a minute or two. When you stop the stroking, your pet is likely to look at you inquiringly, but will sit or lie down beside you. This might happen again when you stop talking. If it does, give your pet one or two gentle strokes and then stop.
3. Produce your pendulum and mentally tell your pet that you love them. Ask your pet if they can “hear” you. A positive response shows that they did, and you can move on to the next step. If you get a negative response, swing your pendulum clockwise and, while it’s spinning, mentally tell your pet how much you love them. Think of happy times you’ve spent together and how you’re hoping your pendulum will help you and your pet become even closer. When the pendulum stops, say “thank you” three times.
4. Pause for several seconds and then ask your pet if they can hear you. Don’t worry if you get another negative response. What you’re doing is something new, and your pet might not understand what you’re trying to do. Spin the pendulum clockwise again and thank your pet for enriching your life in so many ways. Continue sending thoughts of love until the pendulum stops. Just before it stops, say “I love you.”
5. Follow this by thinking “thank you” three times. Wait for about sixty seconds, as your pet might still send a positive response to your pendulum. If it does, you can start asking it questions. If it doesn’t, try the experiment again a day or two later. Continue doing this until your pet gives a positive response.
Once your pet has given a positive response, you can ask any questions you like. You might be surprised with some of the answers you receive. Don’t take anything personally. Pets can lie, or it’s possible you’re asking questions that they can’t be bothered answering. It’s a sign that your pet has had enough if he or she stops responding to your questions. Mentally tell them “I love you. We’ll talk again soon.”
Unfortunately, though, animals can’t tell us what is wrong when they’re ill. This is when your pendulum comes into its own, as you can ask it any questions you might have about the state of your pet’s health.
The first step is to hold the pendulum over your pet and ask if the problem is a major one. If it is, you should take it to a veterinarian as quickly as you can.
If the problem doesn’t appear to be particularly serious, you can ask your pendulum what you can do to help your pet. You can ask about the best food or supplements, and anything else you feel might help. Often, with pets, sleep is the best remedy.
Recently, my daughter’s dog started vomiting after every meal. She seemed perfectly well apart from this, and my daughter’s pendulum assured her that it wasn’t serious. She asked more questions and learned that her dog had found cough lozenges at a neighbor’s home and eaten them. She was concerned about her dog’s stomach, but the pendulum assured her that it was fine. Two days later, her dog was fit and well again.
You can test your pet at any time to see if they are in good health. If your pendulum tells you that something is wrong, you can do something about it immediately, rather than wait until your pet is in severe pain.
Your pendulum will also help you determine the best foods for your pet. Your pet might, for instance, like two commercial brands of pet food. Your pendulum will be able to tell you which one is better for your pet.
The packaging on one product may be beautiful, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the contents are of good quality, and your pet might have a good reason for refusing to eat it. You can use your pendulum to find a good quality food that your pet will enjoy.
You can also test any supplements before giving them to your pet. Ask questions about the benefits your pet should receive as a result of taking it. You should also ask if there are any potential negative outcomes.
Like humans, animals need exercise. Your pendulum will tell you if your pet is getting enough exercise. You may think you’re giving them sufficient exercise, but especially if they’re a large animal, you mightn’t be giving them enough. Conversely, if your pet is getting on in years, you might be giving them too much.
Abbé Mermet regularly located missing animals using his pendulum and a map. On one occasion, a farmer asked him to locate a missing cow. The farmer was concerned, as he was looking after the cow for an elderly widow. After the farmer drew a map of the area, the Abbé suspended his pendulum over it and told the farmer that the cow had fallen into a precipice one hundred meters deep, and was lying at the bottom, dead, with all four feet in the air. The farmer was puzzled, as he wasn’t aware of the precipice. However, when he went to the site, everything the Abbé had told him was correct, even the cow lying with all four feet in the air (Mermet 1959, 207-208).
It’s not necessary for an animal to be lost for the pendulum to locate it. Monsieur Joseph Treyve, manager of a horticultural center in Moulins, France, and a keen dowser, always used a pendulum to locate wild boar before he went hunting (Fairley and Welfare 1982, 181).
