Automatic Writing:

Automatic writing does not come from the conscious mind and is done during an altered state of consciousness. Some people believe it to be spirits who are in someway able to manipulate a writing tool in order to communicate with the living. Psychical researchers believe that automatic writing comes from information or material in the person’s subconscious mind or is somehow received through ESP. Most people try automatic writing in an attempt to make contact with spirits. Normally the person attempting automatic writing is unaware of what is being written and the writing is much faster, bigger and a lot more expansive that their normal everyday handwriting. Some people experience a tingling sensation much like pins and needles in their hands and arms. Pens are the most common utensil but typewriters and slates can also be used. Some automatic writers have been known to write mirror scripts, starting at the bottom right of the page and finishing at the top left. Sometimes automatic writing can occur involuntarily some mediums have claimed to receive messages through automatic writing not only from deceased relatives or loved ones but also from famous persons in history. Psychical researchers believe there is very little evidence that spirits communicate through automatic writing. Psychical researchers still continue to investigate automatic writing as evidence for the existence of the spirit world. Psychologists have adapted automatic writing as a way for the unconscious mind to express thoughts and feelings that cannot be spoken. Some critics and psychologists believe there is real danger in using automatic writing as the critics believe that the writer is in danger of harassment from evil spirits, the psychologists believe the danger in using automatic writing is that material from the unconscious mind that has been repressed maybe exposed.

Automatic Writing Exercise for you:

Make sure your in a relaxed and calm mood, if you are feeling down, anxious or stressed your best off trying it another time when your more relaxed and settled. Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, take a pen/pencil with you and some paper. Sit and relax and let your hand move at will. You may want to ask your hand if it has any messages for you. Hold the pen/pencil loosely in whichever hand you normally write with and let your mind wander freely write down whatever comes into your head for about 10 minutes at the most. If nothing starts to happen visualize a column of lights made up of golden letters forming and reforming words. Focus on one letter and let the light flown down into your fingers and the pen wait until you feel your pen tremble and then let it move. At first it may just scribble and make strange patterns but normally words follow. Don’t try to read or make sense of them or you will lose the spontaneity of it. When you start to feel you are losing concentration, stop and lay down your pen. See the column of light fading, and then read what you have written. It may seem to relate to you or to someone close to you. If the message seems muffled or scribbled don’t be concerned as it takes time and practice to establish clear delivery of information.
