My take on this subject is ONLY your Higher Self can control movements in your body to do this, just like when using a Pendulum the answers come from HS. Yes, there could be guides and spirits wanting to encourage you and would ask your HS to pass on messages, but *nothing* gets past HS and HS would have to agree it and it would have to be in your best interest.
“Automatic writing, also known as Spirit writing, is a psychic gift and may be the one of the easiest psychic abilities to develop. Successful automatic writing is a powerful experience Automatic writing is a way to channel information (including predictions and prophecy) and spirit energy through writing. It is the ability to allow intuition from outside you to flow through you. Automatic writing is a form of intuition that has been around for thousands of years. But it wasn't until the late 1800's and early 1900's that it became better known through the worldwide spread of the Spiritualism movement. Automatic writing is an energy link that allows you to communicate intuitively. Some psychics use pens and paper, computers, or even Ouija boards to relay messages from the other side. Any means of communications or sending a message works.
Automatic writing works, regardless of whether you write on paper or type from a word processor onto a computer screen. Some psychics that have been doing automatic writing for years are more comfortable writing with pen to paper. There are other psychics that feel that the digital link of a computer allows for a stronger connection. Someone who is uncertain about their intuition may want to develop automatic writing abilities. Sometimes the physical act of writing allows you to open up an entirely new way to communicate. Don’t over analyze. Some people believe that the messages are coming through from their "higher self", or the Spirit of someone that has passed from the physical world. It doesn't matter what form it takes. When you seek Spirit, you will find Spirit.
Be intentional. When you meditate and pray, ask for contact with a higher energy. Doing this ensures that only the highest forms of spirit will come to your aid. Automatic writing is a form of channelling that involves focusing your consciousness to receive inspired information. Spirit writing is to give you direction and guidance. That you receive direction is the important thing, not the source of the direction. When you attempt automatic writing, you may hear your voice, another voice or nothing. Sometimes there may be more than one spirit present. Don’t worry about the form it takes. Try to keep an elevated, calm attitude.
Here are ten tips to try if you want to attempt automatic writing. 1. Determine what method you are most comfortable using. Your preferred method may be a pen and paper, a computer or any writing implement. 2. Now meditate! Find a calm and quiet place. Pay attention to your breathing. If you want, visualize a bridge between you and the source you are seeking. Some people imagine an open window or door. What's essential is that you relax and clean your aura.When you feel at peace, be intentional. Pray for protection, inspiration, and clarity. 3. Start to write. You are the seeker. Write down a question that you need answering. Focus on an open connection. Write down as many specific questions as you want. These questions should relate to information that helps your soul evolution. Don't ask test questions for Spirit. Don't ask questions to which you already know the answers. Testing Spirit this way demeans the process and is an exercise in futility. Don't ask "yes" or "no" specific questions. You are looking for inspiration, advice, and guidance. You can't get Spirit to make decisions for you. You can, in the exercise of your free will, receive information that helps you make the best decisions for yourself. 4. Once you have your questions written, concentrate on them one at a time. You are seeking answers from higher-energy beings or spirits that have a clearer view than we do in the physical world. 5. If you don't feel that you are making headway, listen to some relaxing music or a meditation audiotape. Make sure all the distractions and worries are blocked out. Gain the confidence that you will receive the information needed for your greatest good. 6. Now return to your writing. Read the question again. 7. Get ready to write or type automatically. Go with your first thoughts. Write anything that pops into your head. Don't stop to think or analyze. Try to keep a continuous flow. Don't judge or consciously think about what you're writing. Just try to write down or type as fast as possible. Don’t be concerned about spelling or punctuation. Try to write continuously. Some people keep their eyes open. Others prefer to keep their eyes closed. 8. If you have trouble with your flow, feel free to take a break. But don't read what you've written or try to evaluate it too soon. 9. Set your writing aside for at least an hour before you look at what you have written. You can even have else read what you have written first. Keep in mind that any answers that you receive will be loving and positive. You may not like the answers from Spirit, but they will be for your greatest good. 10. Practice makes perfect. Keep trying this daily for 30 days. Attempt to maintain a regular schedule. Do your automatic writing at the same time every day.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein Automatic writing is both a personal and spiritual experience. At some point, you may be able to use automatic writing to help other people. Make sure you are comfortable with this divination link. The important thing is that your automatic writing connects you to Spirit and enhances your intuition. Source. https://psychicelements.com/blog/how-to-do-automatic-writing/
How To Do Automatic Writing Maybe you’ve heard of automatic writing and you want to know how to do it. In this article, I will show you how. Automatic writing is a great, non-scary way of channeling your Higher Self or Spirit Guides through writing. It allows you to ‘download’ their perspective subconsciously using claircognizance and transcribe it as it comes in. The basic recipe for automatic writing is that you open a word document (or get a pen and paper if you wish) and you type/write a question. But remember that you are not consulting your thinking mind. In order to do it successfully, you have to put your mind to one side.
In many ways, doing automatic writing is like being ‘in the flow’ while writing. If you’re a writer then you will know what I’m talking about when I say ‘in the flow’. It’s the state when you have many creative ideas and they all seem to fit together quite nicely, and you can transcribe them coherently and quickly – and often it feels quite exciting. Yet at the same time, your conscious mind is not labouring away – it feels effortless and light. You can also be in that state when you do automatic writing – not so much in a creative writing sense, but in an intuitive sense.
An Example of Automatic Writing Perhaps you know the book Conversations with God (which is incidentally one of my favourite books). It is supposedly a channelled work, although I think the author Neale Donald Walsh actually channeled his Higher Self. If you’ve read that book and you were surprised at how insightful and progressive some of it was, know that your Higher Self has got some equally interesting things to say, if not about our world, then definitely about your life and where you’re going. There are loads more channelled books available too. Perhaps you can recommend some of your favourites in the comments. Why do Automatic Writing?
Here are some examples of when you could do it…
When you have a fear of spirits and are too scared to contact your guides in any other way
When you are not yet very clairvoyant or clairaudient (i.e. you can’t hear or see your Spirit Guides), so you want to try another way. Automatic writing is actually very easy if you manage to put your mind to one side, and I know lots of people who have trouble hearing their inner voice who have had success with automatic writing.
When you want to get your Higher Self’s perspective on something that is bothering you – (I used to do automatic writing when I was upset about something and needed to raise my vibration. I’d tune into my higher self and start writing. She always had some very comforting and insightful things to say about any situation.)
Or just when you have some questions that you want a spiritual perspective on.
Some tips for putting the mind aside and doing automatic writing successfully 1. Start each automatic writing session with ‘My Spirit Guides or My Higher Self’ or ‘My Angels’ as the first line You can call on all of them if you want. Be clear about whose input you want, as it sets an intention to hear from that being. If you want, you can also see your guides as parts or extensions of you that you can access whenever you want, like your subconscious. (The more you see these entities as beings outside of you, the more channeling them may seem quite elusive.) If you want, you can also raise your vibration and connect with your guides/Higher Self before you begin typing. For example, you can do some deep breathing, or visualize going up to a room to meet with your guides, so that you can get their input for the duration of the session.
2. Just start writing and don’t worry about what you’re writing at first For example, type your question and just see what comes out when you put your fingers on the keys. Just start writing about anything that comes into your head, just as you would if you were journaling about your day. The trick with this is to get used to writing (if you are not already). The more you’re used to writing, the easier it is to get into that ‘flow’ state when writing, where you can channel your inner sage.
3. Setting a timer while you do it can be helpful This is so that you don’t have time to think about what you’re writing. That works particularly well when you have a set of questions you want to ask your guides. I do sometimes set a timer when I’m writing a blog article, especially when I’m being too much of a perfectionist or my mind is being very chatty and not saying very helpful things. Setting myself a time limit focuses my mind on the task at hand, and for automatic writing it can help to focus your energy.
4. Create the right conditions so that you can lose your inhibitions about what you’re writing Sometimes while I’ve been doing automatic writing, my mind was judging the information I’m getting and wondering what people around me would think if they were reading it. If you do automatic writing on a shared or borrowed computer, you might feel inhibited. So, make sure you do it while alone and make sure you have privacy with your computer – one reason why I prefer a word document over pen and paper. To ensure absolute privacy with my automatic writing, I use a program called The Journal. The Journal allows you to set a password so that no-one but you can read your entries (and it automatically saves and dates everything). And it has a timer feature, which is helpful for automatic writing. They also do a free 45 day trial of it on their website, that you could use for the purposes of this exercise.
5. Don’t allow your mind to interpret the information while you’re getting it You can interpret it afterwards. But know that it is totally normal for the mind to butt in and judge information in the process. When I started doing readings, occasionally I would be getting information and my mind butts in and freaks out: “what if this is all wrong” – especially if it’s highly specific information. However, experience has taught me that the mind’s fears are unwarranted in those situations. The mind can only react according to its previous experiences and its task of keeping you safe and secure. Intuition sees a lot further than that. So, know the role of the mind, acknowledge it for doing its job but don’t give it too much attention while you’re doing this exercise. How do you know if you’re really channelling spiritual guidance? In my experience, channelled information tends to be high vibrational in nature. It will often comfort you, provide clarity or will raise your mood in some way. If it feels negative or feels heavy, you’re probably not channelling a source that you want to tap into or you may just be channelling your own emotional body, if you are not feeling very good. What you channel via writing will usually not sound like your voice. Mine speaks with authority and sounds completely different from the voice that I ‘think’ in. Another feature of intuitive guidance is that it tends to be very clear, usually feels light and is often simply expressed. Having said that, I have read automatic writing that is poetic and metaphorical in nature. But don’t be hung up on how yours should sound or be. If you do it often enough, you will soon get a sense for what your automatic writing ‘feels’ like.
