Self-Healing with the Pendulum: Clearing Hidden Beliefs &
Subconscious Programming
By Adrian Alcaino

In my previous post, I discussed the importance of connecting
with the subconscious mind and establishing a loving, gentle, and
cooperative form of communication as a vital step in becoming an
effective dowser. However, there is much more to be gained by
exploring the subconscious more deeply—and this is where the
pendulum becomes a powerful tool for both self-awareness and
healing.
The subconscious mind is often described as the soil of the mind,
while the conscious mind is the gardener that plants the seeds—our
thoughts, intentions, and beliefs. Unlike the conscious mind, the
subconscious does not reason or analyze. Instead, it accepts
whatever is planted within it, without judgment or discrimination.
Another helpful way to understand the subconscious mind is to
think of it as a powerful computer that has been with you since
birth. One of its primary functions is to store information. It is
the repository of all memories, experiences, thoughts, emotions,
imagination, habits, and impulses you have accumulated throughout
your life. These stored patterns can be thought of as programs, much
like software installed on a computer.
From early childhood, you have been receiving programs from many
sources—parents, grandparents, teachers, religious figures, friends,
movies, television, and society as a whole. Many of these programs
were beneficial and supportive. Others, however, were limiting or
harmful. Because a child’s conscious mind is not yet fully
developed, it lacks the ability to reason, question, or filter
incoming information. As a result, many negative programs became
embedded in the subconscious mind without scrutiny.
Life experiences themselves also become programs. Positive
experiences form pleasant memories and healthy patterns. Negative
experiences, however, can turn into complexes, limiting beliefs,
emotional triggers, unhealthy habits, or unresolved trauma.
These negative programs are often the hidden source of
frustration, unhappiness, poverty, emotional pain, and even
destructive behavior in many people today. They act like energetic
blocks or “locks” that interfere with your connection to the Higher
Self, manifesting as broken relationships, addictions, financial
struggles, and even physical illness.
We owe the fields of psychiatry and psychotherapy a deep debt of
gratitude for the essential work they do in helping people
recognize, process, and heal these deeply ingrained patterns. Yet
many subconscious programs can remain unseen or unresolved—which is
where the pendulum can become a powerful tool for diagnosing and
clearing this energy.
By working with the pendulum to gently uncover and clear negative
subconscious programs, you become your own healer. Not only will you
identify and release these limiting beliefs, but you will also be
able to reprogram your mind with empowering beliefs that support the
life you want to manifest.
By now, you've programmed your pendulum to give you no/yes or
negative/positive responses. Begin by finding a quiet place where
you will not be disturbed for a few minutes. Relax, center yourself,
and while holding your pendulum, say the following statements out
loud. Observe and record how the pendulum responds to each one.
Self-Worth & Self-Esteem
·
“I’m happy being me.”
·
“I love myself.”
·
“I believe I have inherent value simply because I
exist.”
·
“I am worthy of love and respect.”
·
“I am confident in myself.”
·
“I believe I am enough as I am.”
These statements represent a core sense of self-worth—independent
of achievement, appearance, or external approval. Record how the
pendulum responds to each statement, then continue dowsing by asking
follow-up questions.
For example, let’s say the pendulum responds negatively to
the statement:
“I believe I have inherent value simply because I exist.”
Pause, re-center yourself, and begin asking follow-up questions
such as:
·
“Do I believe I must fill a certain societal role, job
position, or career to have value?”
·
“Do I believe I have to make a certain amount of money
annually to have value?”
·
“Do I believe I have to look a certain way physically
to have value?”
This type of self-assessment
reveals the extent to which society and the world around us have
shaped our sense of self-worth and identity. Many of these programs
create deep challenges because they are rooted in social constructs,
yet we strive to live up to them in the hope of finding happiness.
Those who are awakening to their true nature—God-realization—are
beginning to release these conditioned beliefs and discover joy in
their Divine Nature and oneness with God.
Physical Health
·
“I am healthy.”
·
“It is natural for me to be healthy every day.”
·
“Having a healthy body is right for me.”
With these statements, you can probe your subconscious beliefs
about health and well-being. Many illnesses and bodily symptoms are
psychosomatic in nature, meaning their root cause lies in negative
programs, suppressed emotions, or unresolved experiences.
Use the same technique as in the self-worth exercise and ask
follow-up questions such as:
- Is the root cause of this illness or bodily symptom fear?
- Is it shame?
- Is it trauma?
Pinpoint the underlying emotion, belief, or experience. When you
discover it, do not attempt to suppress it. Instead, accept it,
acknowledge it, and allow it to release. Gently tell your
subconscious mind that it is time to let this pattern go for the
well-being of your physical body.
You may form an inner dialogue such as:
“Aren’t we tired of this negative reaction in our body or
behavior?”
“Subconscious mind, it’s time we move past this. Let’s choose
health, happiness, and release this belief.”
Use the following statements
to check for your beliefs about money and prosperity with the
pendulum:
Prosperity Consciousness
·
“Money is a good thing.”
·
“Having an abundance of money is a good thing.”
·
“I believe there is enough money to go around.”
·
“I have an inherent right to be abundant and
prosperous.”
How many times were you told growing up that money was the root
of all evil? Did you hear your parents say there wasn’t enough money
to go around? These are subconscious beliefs that can work against
us, and reprogramming them is a crucial step in changing our
reality.
Reprogramming the Subconscious
This process offers a clear method for probing the subconscious
mind and uncovering programs or beliefs that may be working against
your growth. Often, a childhood—or even past-life—experience may
surface, revealing where a faulty belief was first accepted as
truth.
The good news is that these negative beliefs can be removed. As
mentioned earlier, the subconscious mind is fertile soil. You, as
the gardener, can pull out the weeds (incorrect programs) and plant
new ones. This is done through affirmations and gentle, loving
self-talk with the subconscious—consistently, day and night—until
your pendulum begins to respond positively to the new beliefs.
If most of your pendulum responses are positive, you can feel
confident that your subconscious mind is aligned with you and
supporting the life you desire to manifest. If you receive negative
responses, simply continue the work. Transformation is a process,
not a failure.
Final Thoughts
By learning to communicate properly with the subconscious
mind—through acknowledgment, acceptance, and the feeling of negative
emotions, limiting beliefs, and unresolved traumas—you gain the
ability to release them permanently. In doing so, you reclaim your
role as both gardener and healer of your inner world.
