AUTOMATIC WRITING
Written by Psychic Jill    Write Jill with possible topic idea's

I have seen this topic come up over and over again on the Ghoststudy Message Board.  I would finally like to put this topic to rest as far as questions go.

Automatic Writing (AW) is a means of communicating with your guide/s.  If done properly, there is no reason to fear that something bad will happen to you or that you will bring in a malevolent spirit.  If you follow these instructions, you will only be bringing in your Highest Guide of the White Light, which will be a comfortable energy for you to work with.

Let me back up for just a second.  Everybody comes into this lifetime with a Master Guide/Teacher assigned to them.  You and your guide made an agreement before you incarnated that you would work together.  This is a benevolent soul on the Other Side that had been trained to be a spiritual counselor and teacher to work specifically with you.  It is their job to love you and guide you on your spiritual path and to guide you in the right direction.  You never need fear that your guide will harm you in any way.

The following is the proper procedure to follow when attempting AW.

The first thing you want to do is be in a relaxed state and frame of mind.  Never try to do AW if you are stressed out or having a bad day.  Your energy and vibrational level will be off and you will not get good results.

You want to find some place quiet where you can sit and concentrate and not be disturbed.  This may mean turning the ringer off on the phone and after the kids are in bed so that you can have a relaxing, peaceful place in which to work.  Some people like to light a candle and burn incense to create a peaceful environment in which to write.  AW can be done any time of day, whatever time is convenient with you.  You may sit on the couch, prop yourself up in bed or sit at the kitchen table.  It is best that you don't try to do AW just before going to sleep.  Your mind and body will be tired and you may not get the results you would like to.  When you are too sleepy or tired your energy level is not at its best.

What you will need is just a notebook or a journal and a pen.  You don't need any fancy writing instruments to do AW.   Before you get started you want to hold the paper and the pen in your hands and ask that they be blessed by God or whatever higher power you believe in, and ask that they be used as instruments to communicate and receive messages from your Highest Guide of the White Light.

Some people confuse AW with Spirit writing and communication.  When you do AW you always want to connect with your guide.  You never want to just ask is anybody there that wants to communicate.  You will be opening yourself up to potentially uninvited "guests" or entities that may want to try to communicate.  AW is not the same as trance writing or mediumship writing wherein a medium will allow a spirit to work through them and communicate from the Other Side.  That requires much study and preparation before attempting that and should be left to professionals that have been properly trained.
Let me explain how AW works.  Your guide will work with you, not through you.  In other words, they will guide your hand and assist you in writing down thoughts, phrases or words that you "hear".  You should be consciously aware that your hand is writing and have some control over what you are doing at all times.

After you have blessed your pen and paper you want to take time out to meditate.  This will give your guide time to adjust their vibrational level and yours.  Spirit operates on a different vibrational level than we do.  Let me explain it this way.  Have you ever seen a hummingbird at a feeder?  If you try to watch their wings you cannot see them with the naked eye.  Their wings move at such an astounding speed that they are a mere blur while they are in motion.  That is the vibrational level that guides are on.  Now picture an eagle in the sky just gliding on a current of air.  They catch the current and can soar around and just occasionally flap their wings in order to stay in flight.  That wing motion would represent our vibrational energy.  Spirit operates on a much higher, faster vibrational plane than we do.  Your guide will have to lower their vibrational level and raise yours so that they can work with you on a comfortable level for both.  While this adjustment is going on you may feel a bit lightheaded or hear a faint buzzing noise in your ear.  This is normal.  You may even feel a slight tingling sensation.  All this is normal while your body is being attuned to do AW.  Allow yourself at least 10 to 20 minutes, if not more to allow yourself to go through this process.  The more you do AW, the less time it will take for your guides to attune your vibrational level.

Before you begin AW, you want to offer up a prayer of protection.  This is just a simple prayer to ask that you are surrounded by the White Light of God and you may even call in your guardian angel to step closer to protect you from harm.  No harm should come to you, but I am not going to claim that one cannot encounter a problem, as it would be professional suicide on my part to encourage anybody and guarantee them 100% if they follow these instructions they are immune to any problems.  After you have said your prayer just sit and be quiet.  When you are first starting out sometimes it is helpful to just write down a question.  It may be something like is there anything that I need to know?  Is there anything you would like to tell me?  Or you may have a specific question you would like to ask.  Ask basically yes and no questions to begin with.  Be specific.  If you write a question keep it simple.   Do not ask several questions at a time.  Give your guide a chance to answer each question at a time.

Then just sit and be patient.  Patience is the key to successful AW.  And, you may not get anything the first few times.  Don't give up.  Remember, this is new to you and your guide.  They are diligently working on trying to work with you and your vibrational level, so it may take a few times before your energies adjust and you are in tune with each other.

Then listen.  Think what it is like to compose a letter in your head.  If you were writing a letter to your mother you may start out.....Dear Mom, today __________ and whatever it is that you want to tell her.  AW is the same way.  You will "hear" a word or a phrase or a sentence that will come to you and you will feel the urge to write down that thought.  Just write it.  If you are analytical, you will have a more difficult time in doing AW, as you will want to analyze everything.  Don't.  Just let the words flow and begin to write.  Don't worry about spelling.  It's ok if you don't dot the "I" or cross the T".  Just let the words flow.  It may be sketchy at first.  That's ok.  Remember this is a new experience.  You are just learning and it takes time.  Over time, you may receive several pages of information.  I sometimes will get pages and pages of information from my guides.  Just let it flow.

AW is not intended to contact passed over loved ones.  It is designed to work specifically with your guides.  It is a tool to use to get useful information that you may need or need to hear.  Just continue to let the energy flow.  Your guides will let you know when they are finished.  The information will stop as suddenly as it started.  This is a signal it is time to stop.  When you have finished be sure to thank your guide.  Say a prayer of gratitude to God for allowing your guide to work with you.

If you follow these simple procedures over time you should become successful in doing AW.
