Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Pendulum Dowsing, Tarot, and Higher Self Communication
Many clients feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness before their first session. This is completely natural when stepping into a new experience, especially one that involves connecting with expanded aspects of consciousness. The answers provided below should help with any anxiety.
About Pendulum Dowsing
From a spiritual perspective, the pendulum serves as a physical tool that bridges dimensions, allowing your Higher Self to influence its movement through subtle energy fields. From a scientific perspective, the pendulum amplifies subtle unconscious muscle movements (the ideomotor effect) that may reflect information processed by your subconscious mind. Regardless of which perspective resonates with you, the practical result is access to information beyond ordinary conscious awareness.
This is a great question that I asked myself extensively when I began this work! I take great care to position the pendulum in a way that minimizes my influence on its movement. The detailed, specific information that comes through—often about matters I could have no knowledge of—provides compelling evidence that something beyond conscious manipulation is occurring. My clients receive information that neither they nor I could possibly know, which is later verified.
Many pendulum practitioners use simple charts with yes/no responses or basic alphabets. I work with an exceptionally detailed pendulum chart that allows for remarkably specific communication through complete sentences and paragraphs. This enables a much richer, more nuanced exchange with your Higher Self than is typically possible with basic dowsing approaches.
Rather than predicting fixed future events, the pendulum allows your Higher Self to share the most probable outcomes based on current energetic trajectories. Since we all have free will, these probabilities can change based on our choices and the choices of others. Your Higher Self can see the energetic patterns currently in motion and their likely manifestations, but the future remains fluid and responsive to our decisions.
About Tarot Reading
In our sessions, tarot cards work synergistically with pendulum dowsing to provide a comprehensive communication system. The cards provide a visual framework and highlight key themes and energies, while the pendulum allows your Higher Self to elaborate with specific details and guidance. This combination creates a remarkably nuanced form of communication.
Tarot cards themselves are simply printed paper with symbolic images—tools that reflect energies rather than create them. Like any tool, their effect depends entirely on the intention and energy of the person using them. In our sessions, I maintain strict energetic protection protocols and only connect with beings of light and love. The cards simply serve as a visual language that helps your Higher Self communicate more effectively with you.
Not at all! I'll explain the relevant card meanings and how they relate to your situation during our session. The symbolic language of tarot is rich and nuanced, but you don't need any prior knowledge to receive the insights they help convey. Your Higher Self uses the cards as a visual reference point, but the detailed guidance comes through the pendulum communication.
I primarily work with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, as its classical symbolism provides a clear foundation for communication. However, I also incorporate other decks when their specific energy or imagery would better serve a particular client or question. The deck is ultimately just a tool—the wisdom comes from your Higher Self, not the cards themselves.
About Sessions & Services
The most helpful preparation is to spend some time reflecting on what matters most to you right now and formulating specific questions. Write down 5-15 questions that feel most important—while we may not address all of them, having clear questions helps focus the energy. Also, arrange to be in a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted during our call, have a notebook ready for taking notes, and try to approach the session with an open mind.
Your Higher Self responds most clearly to questions that are specific rather than general, open-ended rather than yes/no, focused on your own path rather than controlling others, and empowering rather than dis-empowering. For example, "What's the next step in launching my healing practice?" will yield more helpful guidance than "What should I do with my life?" Similarly, "How can I improve my relationship with my daughter?" will be more productive than "Will my relationship with my daughter get better?"
Yes, with some ethical considerations. Your Higher Self can offer perspectives on your relationships and the dynamics at play, but we respect the free will and privacy of others. The focus remains on your journey and how you can respond most effectively to relationship situations rather than trying to control or manipulate others. Questions like "How can I best support my partner during this transition?" or "What can I learn from this challenging relationship?" tend to yield the most helpful guidance.
You can seek guidance on virtually any aspect of your life, including life purpose and soul mission, relationships, career and life direction, spiritual development, health and well being, past lives and soul history, creative projects, decision-making, and personal growth.
This varies widely depending on individual needs and circumstances. Some clients find that a single session provides the clarity and direction they need for many months, while others benefit from regular sessions as they implement changes and encounter new questions. Common patterns include quarterly check-ins, sessions at significant life junctures, or monthly sessions during periods of intensive growth or transition. I encourage you to trust your intuition about the timing that feels right for you.
I don't record sessions, as I've found that the energy and information flow more freely without recording. I encourage you to take your own notes, and I'm happy to pause as needed to give you time to write down important points. For tarot layouts, I can text or email images during our call if you'd like a visual reference to reflect on later.
In my experience, everyone has the ability to connect with their Higher Self—it's an inherent aspect of your consciousness. While the experience varies from person to person, I've never had a session where this connection couldn't be established. Some people have profound emotional experiences during the introduction, while others have a more subtle sense of recognition. Either way, the wisdom and guidance that comes through provides evidence of the connection.
I've found that phone sessions actually create the clearest channel for this work. Without the visual distractions of video or in-person meetings, both of us can focus more completely on the energetic connection and the information coming through. Phone sessions also allow you to be in the comfort and privacy of your own space, which often helps people feel more relaxed and open to the experience.
This is a perfectly reasonable question! Most clients find their proof in the specific, verifiable details that come through during our sessions—information neither you nor I could possibly know through ordinary means. Your Higher Self often shares insights about private experiences, childhood memories, or unspoken thoughts that serve as powerful validation. Ultimately, the resonance of the information and its practical value in your life provide the most meaningful evidence of its authenticity.
While there are some similarities, this work is distinct in important ways. Rather than me reading your energy or connecting with departed loved ones, I'm facilitating direct communication between you and your own Higher Self. The wisdom comes from within you—from the most expanded aspect of your own consciousness—rather than from external sources or my personal intuitive impressions.
Many clients find that Higher Self communication complements and deepens their existing religious or spiritual practices rather than conflicting with them. The concept of a higher aspect of consciousness exists in virtually all spiritual traditions, though it may be called by different names (Holy Spirit, Divine Self, Buddha Nature, Atman, etc.). I approach this work with respect for all faith traditions and focus on the universal aspects of spiritual connection.
