Job Hunting with a Pendulum
Psychic abilities help us get ahead, but there are intuitive tools that we can use if we haven’t developed our skills through meditation. One of my favorites is the pendulum, though we have to know how to work with them, and not take it too seriously.
Let me tell you about an early experience with pendulums, when I’d been connecting with my intuition for a few months …
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I was looking for a job - I was finishing up a one year contract at a big company outside London. A great place to work, and I really wanted to land a permanent job at that company.
As far as I knew, there weren’t any job openings on my floor. I was in a marketing department with 40 people; we led product launches across Europe. My pendulum told me there would soon be an opening in marketing, and I set out to find out where.
So one night, I sat down, grounded and shielded my Aura, and then made a list of brand teams, writing each brand name on a small piece of paper. My marketing floor managed 8 brands, I was on one of those.
I folded up the pieces of paper so that I wouldn’t know which was which, and asked the pendulum to sort them into piles of YES and NO. You’re really asking your higher self and your soul - not the pendulum, per se. It's not always reliable because it also taps into our beliefs. The skeptic in me wonders if I subconsciously track the paper/folding etc.
Still, the pendulum signaled out one brand team as having an upcoming job opening. Next, I wrote the names of the actual colleagues who were on that team, on separate pieces of paper, and asked who might be leaving. It was an international team, and it wasn’t uncommon for us to move onto specific country teams …
It said yes for a lady named Gianna. She sat in a cubicle near mine, reporting to a different marketing director. I wouldn’t have heard about that change organically.
The next morning, I walked into my marketing director’s office and mentioned, quite casually, that I had overheard someone say that Gianna was moving to a new post - did she know if that was true?
If so, could I apply?
My boss was shocked (not more than I, lol). It was true but still very hush hush. No one was supposed to know about it. Who had told me? I didn’t know what to say, and mentioned that I heard people talk, but didn’t recognize their voices š
Anyhooo, long story short, my boss caught up with Gianna’s boss to see if I could apply. It turned out that her job was going to be repurposed to a much higher level, well above my experience level -hers would have been within reach.
So the pendulum was accurate that time - Gianna was leaving (to be honest, it hasn't been right about other things). I didn't ask if the new vacancy would be right for me. I soon ended up being promoted to a job in a different part of the company. It was awesome.
I started Diary of a Psychic Healer two months after taking that new job, back in 2010. In those days, I did lots of experiments with my pendulum. It was wrong plenty of times - it often picks up on our fears and vibration. I wouldn't make decisions based on the pendulum, or ask it what to do. That takes away from our inner knowing (my teachers would say, if the answer is something you care about, the pendulum is not trustworthy). Still this was one of my most memorable psychic experiences.
That job was in consumer healthcare (and I did love it there). My blog was anonymous until 2013; I kept it to myself. Some of my colleagues did know what I was up to. It felt like I had a double life lol.
Reiki hugs,
Regina
Disclaimer: Please do not use your pendulum to make decisions—this blog shares my personal experiments only. Asking my boss about the vacancy was bold and funny, but VERY LOW RISK in that situation.
