Have you ever heard of Automatic Writing? It could be the savior you’re looking for in times of grief.

If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you know nothing helps. But here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re trying to be strong.

Accept The Support Of Others – Especially if they shared special times with you and the one you’ve lost.

Remember Out Loud – Recalling aloud the good times can make them real again, especially when there is a group of you sharing.

Say Goodbye – Whether you got a chance to say goodbye or not, it is never too late to get it all out.

Take The Time – Take the time to remember. Although it is important to keep busy, you should never forget.

The hardest lesson to learn from grief is that life goes on. Keeping busy will help this sink in but you should always take time to remember. Never try to forget the person you lost. Taking time to reminisce with others who knew them and giving yourself a chance to say goodbye on your terms are ways to keep the spirit alive.

When time passes and you still feel you need answers or still need a connection, you can turn to automatic writing and see if it’s right for you.

Automatic Writing is the process by which an individual will transcribe spiritual messages without being conscious of what they are writing. Through this method you can connect with spirits and get the answers and connections you need. Although you may not get the spirit you are looking for, all spirits are connected and they can easily pass on the message that your loved one is there and they love you.

This is not an activity limited only to persons with natural or developed psychic powers. This is an activity anyone can learn. All it takes is a little coaching and lots of practice

Automatic writing is an old form of divination in which messages seem to come out of nowhere through your hand and onto paper. Whether these messages come from the “spirit world” or the subconscious in unknown. Some who have attempted this form of mediumship have written lengthy messages, songs — even complete novels.  People who engage in automatic writing frequently experience a tingling sensation in the arms or hands immediately before a message is received.

Automatic writing tends to flow faster then conscious writing. Words may be joined  together and perhaps be spelled unusually. The actual letters tend to be larger than the receiver’s ordinary writing and be formed in a different way. Some automatic writers find that they are endowed with the most beautiful copper-plate writing, but only during the process of the automatic transmission. Automatic writing can also be in mirror script or written left to right, even on occasions starting at the bottom right corner and ending at the top left. It may be in verse or contain complicated biblical quotations or even Latin. Once again, this may not indicate spirit communication but knowledge we have absorbed without realizing it at an earlier period in our lives or that we have accessed from the unconscious wisdom of our forefathers. Sometimes there are messages, seemingly from more highly evolved discarnate beings who may communicate about the state of the world and the need for conservation and peace.  You should not worry about the nature or source of the communication. Accept what is useful or fascinating and discard what is not. You may even start a career as a novelist. Automatic writers do not seem to suffer from writer’s block!


Here’s How:
  1. Find a quiet spot without distractions.
  2. Sit at a table or desk where you’ll be comfortable, with paper and pen (or pencil).
  3. Take a few moments to clear your mind.
  4. Touch the pen or pencil to the paper.
  5. Try not to consciously write anything.
  6. While keeping your mind as clear as possible, let your hand write whatever comes across.
  7. Avoid looking at the paper; you might even keep your eyes closed.
  8. Give it time to happen (nothing might happen for quite a while).
  9. When it seems to be done, if and when automatic writing does occur, look over what your hand has produced carefully. The writing may appear to be nonsense or just scribbling, but try to decipher it as best as possible.
  10. In addition to letters and numbers, look for pictures or symbols in the writing as well.
  11. Keep trying. Nothing might happen your first few attempts.
  12. If you start to achieve success, you can try asking questions to see if you can receive responses.
