Spirit guides
can bring you messages as you are writing
Using
Automatic Writing for Divination
by Caitlin
MacKenna
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.
