Source: Psychics Universe

What if you could gain insight and answers from something as simple as taking a pen to paper? Well, you can! Whether you are looking for guidance or just a greater connection with your Higher Self or sprit guides, automatic writing can provide the help you seek. It’s fairly easy to do and with just a bit of practice you too can receive enlightenment with the stroke of a pen.

What Is Automatic Writing?

In simplest terms, automatic writing is simply taking pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and writing whatever pops into your mind. The key is to just write and not think about what you’re writing. The goal is to reach into either your subconscious mind or connect with your Higher Self. Let the words just flow through the pen or keyboard and leave your conscious mind behind. Automatic writing can also be used to contact spirit guides or angels and thus act as a form of channeling.

Automatic writing isn’t new. Spiritualists have used it for centuries. Even Freudian psychology has employed its techniques in order to better understand the subconscious mind of patients and test subjects. Even extraterrestrial messages have come through the use of automatic writing. Spiritualist medium Helene Smith (1861-1929) communicated with beings from Mars, translating their language into her native French.

How Can It Work for You?

So how can automatic writing work for you? First of all it can create a meditative experience. If you’re the type of person who has trouble quieting your mind, using automatic writing can help clear out the mental chatter by getting it out on paper. Eventually you will relax and tune into your subconscious mind. You’ll no longer think about what you are writing; you’ll just “go with the flow.”

As your subconscious or Higher Self takes over, the words that emerge may surprise you. Chances are there will be lots of run on sentences with bad spelling and grammar, but somewhere in the mess you’ll find some wonderful messages and pearls of wisdom.

You can even use automatic writing to answer nagging questions or gain insight regarding situations. Simply write down the question and then proceed to answer it with whatever comes up.

Automatic writing also affords you the option of working with available spirit guides. You can choose to call on the Divine or ask for help from an angel, spirit guide, power animal or any other benevolent entity.

Helpful Tips

Sometimes just sitting in front of a blank piece of paper or word document isn’t enough to get most people started. If you find that it happens to you, there are plenty of helpful tips to get you going.

Before you begin, it’s important to be in a quiet place free from distractions. Also make sure that you are comfortable.

Before starting to write, put the date at the top of the page. It will help set the stage and also assist you in keeping a record of messages you receive.

Begin your writing by asking a question—no matter how big or small. Or you can simply ask, “What does my Higher Self want me to know right now?” If you want to work with a spirit guide, try starting off by saying hello and asking the guide his or her name. Then proceed with your question.

As you start to write, pretend that you are taking dictation. Don’t pay attention to the meaning of your words just yet; simply write what you hear in your mind.

Also pay no attention to grammar, spelling or punctuation. You can always edit later if necessary. Making corrections will just slow you down and kill the flow.

Don’t be discouraged if your first few attempts aren’t successful. The principle of automatic writing is easy, but takes some practice. Keep at it and soon you’ll receive enlightening messages. Write on!
