How to Automatic write?
 

I have been thinking and interested to try automatic writing, never did it, and I would like to know the process of it on how to do it.

Any help would be great!

Get a pen and paper, clear your mind and just do it.:smile:

In case you need just a little more instruction, justreal, here's this I found on the net.

Sit at a table with pen and paper; put yourself in a 'receptive' frame of mind, and start writing. Continue writing without thinking of what is appearing beneath your pen. Write as fast as you can. If, for some reason, the flow stops leave a space and immediately begin again by writing down the first letter of the next sentence. Choose this letter at random before you begin, for instance, a 't', and always begin this new sentence with a 't'. Although in the purest version of automatism nothing is 'corrected' or re-written the unexpected material produced by this method can be used as the basis for further composition. What is crucial is the unpremeditated free association that creates the basic text.

There is a book you might enjoy reading called The Road I Know. It is a free pdf and can be found here:

http://www.spiritwritings.com/library.html

It's an interesting read and tells about one woman's journey as she started out with automatic writing. There are many other books on this page that you will find interesting as they deal with channeled experiences.

Good luck with it!

one thing i've been told about automatic writing is to relax and get into a sort of trace state and not to look at what you're writing... hope it helps

justreal, it is really just as simple as Alandra and Morgana Rose say, you don't need a set of rules to follow :D the more complicated we make things the more frustrated one becomes

I use my computer :P I type a lot faster than most people. It's actually how I wrote my first book on Amazon. All through automatic writing :)

im another one that uses the computer comes in very quick and very fast some times they will take over the key board to get messages and readings accross

Hey Justreal,

A quick look on the net revealed a number of definitions for what automatic writing is. I think it's possible to contact your subconscious or higher self - but you might also find yourself communicating with spirit guides or angels.

Some say you have to be unaware of it, or in a 'trance' and others like me will tell you it can be done while you're absolutely conscious of it. I think it realy depends on you, and on who would like to communicate with you from the 'other side.'

I'd say it would help to;

Be relaxed, or at least have a clear (not necessarily sober, just relaxed!) head. Post meditation might be a good time to try.

Let the pen/your fingers move however it wants to without trying to control the movement.

A lot of people say you shouldn't look at what you're writing, but I do and it works fine for me. Try both ways. Experiment. .

Once you've asked for protection, trust it and don't worry about what will come out. Don't be afraid to write silly things or produce a total jumble - it will become clearer with practise.

People who use automatic writing have had ALL sorts of things turn up on the page - maps, drawings, text, so be open to whatever.

Just give it go - don't be surprised if you get other signals that you're not alone like tingles, chills, visuals, the sense of being watched etc. Also don't be surprised if you feel nothing!

Hope this helps :)
