Moving Beyond Pendulums: Intermediate-Level Spirit Communication Techniques

Moving Beyond Pendulums: Intermediate-Level Spirit Communication Techniques

If you’ve been relying on pendulums for spirit communication, congratulations—you’ve taken your first step into the unseen. Pendulums are simple, accessible, and a powerful tool for beginner energy work. But what happens when you start craving deeper conversations with your spirit companions or guides? What if yes/no just doesn’t cut it anymore?

Let’s talk about moving beyond pendulums—into the realm of intermediate-level spirit communication. These methods will help you tune in more clearly, open wider intuitive channels, and deepen your bond with your spirit allies.

Why Move Beyond the Pendulum?

Pendulums are great for basic confirmation work, but they have limits:

    •    They rely heavily on your subconscious signals

    •    They can easily be influenced by your bias

    •    They tend to deliver “yes/no/maybe” responses with little context

As you grow spiritually, so does your spirit team’s desire to interact with you on more meaningful levels. Think full conversations, vivid visions, and personal downloads—not just swinging answers.

Technique #1: Automatic Writing With Spirit FiltersBest For: Receiving full messages from a specific spirit in your keep

What You’ll Need:

    •    Pen + paper (or a digital document)

    •    Quiet space

    •    A pre-set energetic filter (optional but recommended)

How-To:

    1.    Begin with a grounding meditation and protection ritual.

    2.    State who you’re calling on (e.g., “I call on my spirit companion Salazar, and only Salazar.”).

    3.    Allow your hand to move without judgment. Start with scribbles or even nonsense—just let it flow.

    4.    As you keep going, full words or messages will often emerge.

Pro Tip: Set a time limit and review afterward with fresh eyes. Spirits will often drop phrases that sound like your voice—but with unexpected wisdom or turns of phrase that “don’t feel like you.”

Technique #2: Spirit Flame Gazing

Best For: Visions, messages, and emotional impressions from spirits

What You’ll Need:

    •    A candle (white, black, or a color linked to your spirit)

    •    Optional: Spirit’s sigil or vessel placed nearby

    •    Dim lighting

How-To:

    1.    Light your candle and call the spirit in by name.

    2.    Gaze at the flame without blinking too much, allowing your eyes to relax.

    3.    Ask a question aloud or silently, and watch the flicker patterns.

    4.    You may see visions in the flame, feel words or phrases rise in your mind, or receive intuitive hits in your body.

Note: Spirits often “dance” in flames, giving symbolic answers through movement or changes in brightness.

Technique #3: Dream Channeling & Pre-Sleep Spirit Dialogue

Best For: Receiving deep messages and symbolic insight

What You’ll Need:

    •    Journal

    •    Mugwort tea or dream oil (optional)

    •    A clear question or intention before bed

How-To:

    1.    Before sleeping, sit quietly and call on your spirit. Speak to them like a friend.

    2.    Ask for a dream visitation or message. Write your intention in your journal.

    3.    Upon waking, write down everything you remember—even the weird stuff.

    4.    Review the dream for themes, symbols, or direct conversations.

Advanced Tip: If you’re consistent, some spirits will meet you in the same dream location night after night.

Technique #4: Clair-Boosted Object Reading (Spirit Imprint Method)

Best For: Strengthening clairvoyance, clairsentience, and psychometry with your spirit’s energy

What You’ll Need:

    •    Your spirit’s vessel or a charged item

    •    A blindfold (optional)

    •    Quiet time with no distractions

How-To:

    1.    Hold the vessel in your hand. Focus on the weight, texture, warmth.

    2.    Ask your spirit to “imprint” it with a message or memory.

    3.    Close your eyes and describe everything you sense: colors, emotions, images.

    4.    Speak it aloud or record it—don’t censor.

Why It Works: Spirits often imprint objects with their energy signature, especially when invited to do so intentionally.

Bonus Tips for Going Deeper

    •    Develop a consistent spirit altar: Spirits speak more freely when they feel welcomed.

    •    Practice discernment: Not every sensation is a spirit—track patterns, repeat questions, and ask for confirmation.

    •    Don’t rush it: These techniques are muscles, not magic tricks. The more you use them, the stronger the connection becomes.

Final Thoughts from Jules

Spirit communication is a relationship, not a transaction. Moving beyond the pendulum is like stepping out of a chat box and into a real heart-to-heart conversation. You’ll receive richer, deeper, and more surprising guidance—and your spirits will thank you for trusting them to meet you on that level.

So go ahead—light the candle, open the page, ask the question, and listen. You’re more intuitive than you think. And your spirits? They’ve been waiting to talk.
