Automatic writing is the process of channeling spirit directly into writing. It is a psychic ability and a form of hanneling which many people find simple and straightforward to develop. For me personally, it was one of my first spiritual gifts to come into focus, and it opened the door for further exploration into learning to channel.
The reason it’s fairly easy to learn to do automatic writing, is because the very act of writing opens your mind up to receive inspiration, ideas, and messages. When you have a pen in your hand, and you place it onto paper, your brain
automatically thinks there is going to be some sort of information, message or concept coming through. This is a natural process which happens when you place a pen to paper to write, and so receiving messages from spirit in this way does not feel scary, or weird, or out of the norm for the ego mind, and so it allows the guidance to flow though. Whereas, when learning to verbally channel spirit, the ego can quickly shift into judgment or doubt, blocking the clarity and flow of guidance.
So with a pen in your hand, and a notebook or some paper to write on, you’re ready to allow communication from the realms of spirit to flow through. Note, that when you put in the focused effort to develop automatic writing, it’s likely your supporting psychic senses will kick in to help you receive and interpret the guidance from the spiritual or angelic beings you’re connecting with. So don’t be surprised if you feel, sense, hear or see the angel you’re automatic writing messages from, just stay present and aware, and enjoy the connection.
How to Do Automatic Writing
When you’re ready to begin, start by taking a deep breath as you consciously relax.In addition to your pen and paper (or computer) you need a safe and quiet location where you can connect without distractions. It doesn’t have to be quiet for this to work… but especially when you’re learning a peaceful calm environment will help. I then highly recommend you call in the protection of Divine white light, as well as your spirit guides and guardian angels. Once you’re surrounded with the light of the Divine, ground and center your energy, open your chakras, and connect with Divine light. Here’s a simple little process I use to do just that:
1. Visualize your energy grounding to the earth.
2.Feel the light at the core of the earth, and feel your oneness with earth and all.
3.Breathe deeply.
4. Imagine light begins to flow up through you.
5. Allow the light to flow up along your spinal column, opening and activating your chakras.
6. Go up into the light into direct presence with Source.
7. Feel your oneness with the Divine love and light of All That Is. Call upon Angels, Masters and Divine .
8. From this place, open and aware, put your pen to your paper and write… “I now invite my highest, best, and most loving Guide or Angel of the light who can most serve, please write automatically through me now, a message which will most help me on my path.
9. For knowledge wisdom and truth, according to Divine will for the highest and greatest good. And so it is.”
10. Now simply relax, breathe and open your heart, place your pen to the paper, and allow the message to come through. Your pen may seem to start moving on its own, but far more likely… You’ll simply be inspired with a thought, a sentence, or you’ll receive one word in your mind. Write it down. Write down whatever comes into your awareness and keep writing. Don’t judge, and don’t worry if you mix in some ego here and there, just take a deep breathe think of divine light and keep riting.
Happy Writing
