Using Automatic Writing for Divination

In automatic writing, a spirit brings messages through by using a pen or pencil or even a computer keyboard. Some automatic writers know who is giving the messages while other do not. Often people do not recognize their own handwriting. Sometimes the messages come in foreign languages. Some literary works have been written through automatic writing. Almost anyone can do automatic writing.

Getting Started

Get into a comfortable position. Be sure you are free of distractions. If you are not alone, tell others that you have some personal correspondence to take care of. If you are tired, this could actually work better for you. Now clear your mind of chatter. Feel the muscles in your body... neck... arms...shoulders... especially your face... totally relaxed . . . You are going to use paper and pen or your computer keyboard to talk to your guide. Know that whatever the answer is to your questions will be written by the spirit. Do not allow time for your mind to listen to this information. Just write or type. You may even want to focus your eyes on something nearby, which keeps the left brain busy while the right brain does the writing. It may seem like your own thoughts at first, but that is OK. It will get easier and quicker with practice.

When you are ready to start, gently place the pen on the paper in writing position or your fingers on the keyboard. You are relaxed and not concerned about what you will write. Write or type today's date at the top of your page. Mentally call one of your guides and tell him / her you want to communicate through writing. Tell them you can only work with one guide at a time. You may select the guide, or perhaps it is their choice. Not all guides can use automatic writing to communicate.

On the first day, you must get to know who your guide is. Write or type, "Hello. What is your name?" Follow with questions about the spirit guide and his/her relationship with you. I would suggest you start with simple questions that can be answered with a yes or no answer. Don't stop to think. Just allow yourself to write the answer. This is a time to get to know your guide and why he / she is working with you at this time.

After a few minutes, you will find yourself writing more quickly. There may be mistakes in punctuation--no space between words, poor grammar, unknown words--whatever. This is not important. Just keep writing questions and answers. Do not write too much on the first day. Just start slowly and feel comfortable.

You can begin again whenever you like. There are no schedule requirements. Each session will make you more comfortable. On the second day, you can ask questions that are beyond yes or no answers and get more details. I would suggest you not ask about your love life until you are comfortable with the spirit and this form of mediumship. This is much easier when the questions are not about you. Ask the spirit (you should now have a name) about your spiritual work, relationship with the guide, or other spiritual questions.

On the third day, ask about politics, economics, earth changes, and other global matters.

On the fourth day, you can begin to ask personal questions, but remember you can only ask a question once. Asking a question over and over again until you write your desired answer is wrong.

Example: "Does __________ love me?"

If the answer is no, so be it!

Change the question to: "Will I find a true love? Marry? etc."

The more you use automatic writing , the easier and faster it gets. Remember to save your notes. Caution: do not speak with unknown or evil spirits. If you want to talk with any spirit get the permission from your personal spirit guide.If the energies feel comfortable to you then you will soon learn who is controlling the writing and why he/she is writing with you. If you feel uncomfortable with the entity or the information received, stop! If you feel that more than one entity is trying to write through you, ask them to take their time, and you will write with them one at a time. Always try to get a name.

Finally, test to see if the information you are given is correct. Being in spirit, does not automatically bring knowledge or wisdom, especially about strictly material world concerns. Don't blame the spirits if you follow their advice to invest your entire 401K in North Korean rice futures, and you lose money. It is up to you to verify the information you are given, and, most importantly, it is up to you to decide whether you will act on it.
