Using The Pendulum As A Suggestibility Test For Hypnosis
By Calvin D. Banyan, MA CH FNGH
Anton Chevreul, during the eighteenth century was the first to discover that information in the subconscious mind could be uncovered using a pendulum.
The process of using the pendulum, which should be part of any hypnosis training program, allows the subconscious mind to create minute movements which are magnified by the pendulum. This ability to make muscular movement without conscious effort is called “ideomotion.”
As a suggestibility test, a client is instructed to concentrate and hold the pendulum over the center of a figure that consists of + over a circle (see figure). While doing this, she is instructed to look either up and down or back and forth over the figure, and to think in the same way, up and down or back and forth. She will most likely find that in a few seconds up to a minute, the pendulum will move in just the direction that she has been thinking, through no conscious effort of her own.
This is one of the easiest “tests” to provide a potential client. And since the vast majority of individuals will easily manifest movement in the pendulum, it really serves more as a convincer than a test.
This test is considered to be a permissive test. If your client passes this test it provides you with evidence that she would benefit from a permissive approach. However, if you instruct the individual in a more direct and domineering way when doing the Chevreul’s Pendulum test, it could be called a directive test. So, you need to be aware of how you are conducting the test. This is true of all of the suggestibility tests given by hypnotists. Generally, this test can be given in either a permissive or authoritarian manner, even though it was originally thought to be a test for either a permissive or passive approach.
Only a highly resistant client will find they are unable to make the pendulum move. And, as Gerald F. Kein says, resistance equals fear. So, it is a clue that you must ensure that you have done your very best to remove any fears or misconceptions that your client may have about hypnosis. This is why a good pre-talk is essential to conducting successful sessions.
What follows is a script for the Chevreul’s pendulum suggestibility test
This is a pendulum and it is used as a test for concentration. The ability to use requires the ability to concentrate.
So, please stand up and hold the end of the chain in your finger tips. Now hold it directly over the center
