Automatic Writing
Automatic Writing is believed to be a means of communicating with the spiritual entities. How it works is still a mystery, yet many claim that they have had several people write messages through them by means of automatic writing, and even famous deceased writers, composers and artists have supposedly completed new work using this method.
There are many ways which automatic writing is claimed to be done. A popular version is resting the pen against you hand so that the nib is touching the paper. Then clear your mind. When you next look at the paper you may find that a message has been written. This is argued by some to be nothing more than contacting the subconscious mind.
It must be stated however, that many people do produce amazing works of art or literature while doing automatic writing. Work which is reported to be far above their usual ability. If this is the result of the subconscious mind it could be argued that there is a great artist or composer in anyone of us, trying to get out.
The following exercise is a simple way to develop intuition, access inner guidance, and unblock creativity.
1. Find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted.
2. Have a pen and pad of paper ready then settle into a comfortable sitting position.
3. At the top of a piece of paper write what you would like guidance on. Decide whether you would like general guidance or do you have a specific question. It helps to date this especially if you are keeping a journal.
4. Take a few moments to center yourself. Tune into your breathing and take a few slow, deep breaths. Allow your breathing to relax your mind and body. Then ground yourself. Feel the ground beneath you. Imagine that you run a grounding cord from the base of your spine down to the center of the earth. Then feel the energy of the earth come up through the base of your spine, up through your entire body, and out through the top of your head, connecting with the universe above. Now imagine that a golden light comes down from above and enters your body through your crown, at the top of your head. Imagine this light flowing down the center of your body, then out through the base of your spine and traveliing down to the center of the earth, anchoring you to the earth below.
5. Next ask for the highest guidance possible. When you feel ready pick up your pen and write whatever comes to you without stopping. Do not judge, analyze or evaluate what you have written even if it does not answer your question. Write until your hand is done. When you are finished, read what you wrote.
