I suspect it's all on your timing.
Perhaps, you performed the meditations before bedtime?
Power meditations do the opposite - they actually empower you with energy, which keeps you up.
In any case, continue doing the meditations and open up and empower all your chakras evenly. This will...
If you're absolutely new, chances are you won't be successful using Ouija boards and pendulums.
Pendulums are more for the advanced.
It's best you stick with this method - which is exceptionally suitable for beginners:

Good luck!

Heat, tingling sensations, basically anything rationally out-of-the-ordinary is an excellent sign of the effectiveness of your working.

I personally think that the show can be a crock load of bullshit sometimes.
"Noah's Arc wasn't an actual arc - but a gene bank."
Fuck that! Proving the existence of extraterrestrials crush everything in the buybull completely - especially starting with the creation.
