I Experienced Automatic Writing For The First Time!
On April 22nd, 2024 I discovered that I could automatic write without even knowing what it was or what was happening to me.
I got this random idea in my head to start journaling because I am on a self development journey and I wanted to get better at memory retention and communication. I told myself I would start Monday night. So after work I did my usual wind down and popped an edible, turned off the lights to my bedroom, turned on a dim light and cracked open my journal.
I began writing about my day and eventually my edible kicked in and I did not have anything else to write about so I began doodling. Eventually I drifted into an extremely calm meditative state as I scribbled randomly in my journal with a clear mind. (It's important to note I was not thinking of the past or the future but I was just in the present moment with my thoughts.)
Eventually I felt tingles in my hand and it's like something took it over and began scribbling on the paper. Me being high I was fascinated by what was happening so I watched in disbelief until my anxious thoughts took over my mind and I threw the pen out of my hand and jumped out of my meditative state.
Since that encounter I contacted my sister who is also spiritual and more knowledgeable than me and informed me that it was called spirit writing/automatic writing. I began doing research and discovered it's a form of divination used to communicate with spirit.
The only form of divination I used previously was tarot cards and the 4 pennies Yes/No divination used in Hoodoo. Tarot cards have always been tricky for me to fully understand as I believe I am neurodivergent but that is another story for another day. Having a divination tool where I can get direct answers and not leave me second guessing was an amazing feeling so I sought after to do it again the following day.
This day I did everything with intention and recreated the same steps of taking an edible, turning on a dim light, and focusing on the present moment. This time I asked to speak directly with my spirit guide and the connection happened instantly before my edible even kicked in. I told my guide to used up and down motions as "yes" and circle motions as "no" and began asking questions.
Without giving too much away I asked if they were my spirit guide and they made and up and down mark indicating yes. I wanted to confirm that I would get correct answers and I wasn't crazy so I asked them what my name was and they wrote out the first initial of my name in cursive. Then I went deeper and asked if my husband would receive a promotion he recently interviewed for and they told me yes undoubtably, weeks later he received confirmation that he did in fact get the position!
I also asked about my goals, as I have been going hard on them this entire year and my dream is to be self employed. They confirmed to me that I would be self employed (wish I asked by when lol).
The next morning I had another connection but this time with my grandmother on my father's side. I asked if it was an ancestor and they said yes so I asked if they were on my mother’s side and they said no but said yes to being on my father's side. I asked if I knew them and they said yes so I asked them their name and they wrote out "Nanny" which is what we called her.
A few days later I was able to get in contact with my great grandparents on my mother side because my mother had questions about my great grandfather's passing. He confirmed that he was fighting to stay alive in the hospital because of my mom and finally let go when he heard her whisper in his ear that she would be okay and he did not have to worry about her (the following day after she whispered that too him he passed away) and we both cried.
Since my initial encounter I have been practicing daily to get better and stronger at my spiritual gift but the first 3 days were the strongest and after getting a reading done on me I realized this was all apart of the plan. April 22nd was a full moon in Scorpio and I am a Scorpio sun. There was no coincidence about this especially knowing that I am 29 and currently in my Saturn Return.
I added a few shots of my journal and blurred out my text so I do not give my identity away because I would like this to remain an anonymous spiritual journal as I have no plans on monetizing this gift but only using it for the protection and knowledge for me and my loved ones. Please also note that it's really hard to read what spirit is telling me but through practice I was told I will get better with this and receive more legible answers.
I would love to know if you've ever experienced.
P.S. my right hand has constantly been in a tingly state ever since and I was told that this is my new norm now that I have unleashed my gift. I am now practicing spiritual protection daily and diving more into my spiritual interests of astrology, crystals, and numerology. I even asked my spirit guide through automatic writing if I was allowed to anonymously document my spiritual journey through Tumblr and they wrote out yes.
[ I want to end this by saying that I protect myself before during and after each divination. Now that I have this gift I know that any spirit whether good or bad will want to contact me but I have the ultimate power of who I allow to connect with me. So please do not try this on your own for funsies because now I have to really practice protection work daily to keep me protected from negative energy. ]
