Second step – looking for a hidden object.
Now that you can get a reaction from your pendulum from an object that you can see it is time to try to locate a hidden object.

• As before, place a coin on a table. Now cover the table with a piece of paper, newspaper or a cloth. It does not matter at this stage if you know where the ‘hidden’ coin is. What matters is that the object is out of sight.
• Start away from where the coin is and ask yourself “where is the coin?” or “is there a coin here” or whatever question works best for you. (Remember the exercise in step one).
• Watch your pendulum and try to navigate to where the coin is located by means of how it swings or circles on the chain.
• The movements you discovered in step one will guide you.
• After you can locate the coin, then try closing your eyes, sliding the coin onto the table top and covering with a cloth without looking. Now see if you can locate it.
• Repeat and practice and your ability and confidence will grow.
• When you are ready, move on to the next step.

In the picture below I am approaching the coin under the paper. See how the pendulum is swinging to show me in which direction the coin lays.
