A Step-by-Step Guide

Have you ever felt a deep yearning to connect with your spiritual guides? Through my personal journey of channeling. I’ve created a safe, practical method that allows anyone to access their inner wisdom and communicate with higher beings. What began as a simple practice has transformed my life, filling an archive of pages with profound insights that have forever changed my understanding of reality. I’m excited to share this sacred process with you, along with crucial protective measures to ensure your experience remains pure and positive.

What is Automatic Writing?

Automatic writing is a practice where you allow your spirit guides, angels, or higher self to communicate through written words. This practice, unlike regular journaling, creates a direct channel with higher dimensional beings, allowing their messages to flow through you onto paper or on a computer.

Common Questions about Spirit Writing:

Can anyone do automatic writing?

Absolutely, even if you think you lack psychic abilities, this is accessible to anyone who approaches it with an open heart and minds with proper protection. Like every spiritual practice, it requires your dedication and the right guidance.

Is automatic writing dangerous?

It can be when you don’t have the right spiritual protection and discernment. If you do your practice right, then it’s completely safe. This guide I’m sharing with you includes protection prayers and methods to ensure you are connecting with spirit guides of the highest truth and light.

What’s the best time for automatic writing?

You’ll find out below as you read this article, keep in mind that this is aimed at beginners and those already experienced.

For more FAQs, please visit this tutorial for beginners who are still unsure about this practice.

Getting Started With Automatic Writing:

The belief that you connect with your guides is the cornerstone of your success. In my experience, connecting with my inner guidance came naturally once I allowed myself to the possibility. While I share my tested method below. Please remember this is your spiritual journey. You are more than welcome to change these steps that resonate with you. However, I share some vital information regarding protection protocols at the end—they’re critical for keeping your connection free from unwanted influences.

Creating Your Sacred Space:

Let me ask you first; what time do you get up in the morning? If it’s early morning then your sessions often return the most profound guidance, as everyone’s mind is at rest. However, if evenings are your quiet time, that’s perfectly fine. The key here is picking a time when you won’t be disturbed.

Essential Tools for Divine Writing Practice:

1. Headphones or earbuds
2. Your choice of Theta music or binaural beats (Jody Hatton’s deep meditation is recommended)
3. Pencil or computer with keyboard
4. 15-20 minutes of quiet time
5. Sufficient lighting (if using a computer, use “f.lux” Use darkroom mode to reduce the effects of blue light.)

Before writing, establish your intentions to create a protective bubble of high-frequency energy. This step is critical for maintaining positive energy and filtering out lower influences during your session. The goal you set here is the foundation of your spiritual beacon, allowing your guides to resonate with your highest good. I will explain why it’s important later to discern which energies you are communicating.

Spiritual Protection Meditation:

Once you’ve established your sacred space, turn the music and sit quietly with your eyes closed. The breathing exercise you are going to do is called the 10-count. Make sure you are comfortable and sit up straight with your eyes closed.

1. Inhale deeply through your nose, into the belly to expand
2. Exhale slowly through your nose, counting this as one complete breath
3. Continue this exercise until your mind is clear of thoughts and completely relaxed.

Note: If any thoughts come across, you go back to 1. continuing this for 10 minutes or less. If you only reach 1-3 initially, you are on the right track. If you get to 10, then you’ve achieved Buddha status!

Calling in Your Spirit Guides:

Once you are ready to invite in your spiritual team. You will start with the intention and invocation prayer. These prayers create your energetic boundaries and allow beings of light to contact you upon your consent. You may write these with eyes closed or open whichever works for you.

Intention prayer:

“Thank you, God, for guiding me, surrounding me, imbuing me, protecting me, cloaking me with all your love and light. 

Thank you, God, thank you, God, thank you, God.”

Invocation prayer:

“I invite beings (angels, guides, and lightworkers) of the highest love and light, with the highest frequency and vibrations and the highest Christed light. 

I invite inner voice, inner wisdom, inner guides, higher self, higher team, and all angels guides, and lightworkers here for my highest and greatest good of all.”

You can change these prayers to align with your spiritual beliefs. Pick one that resonates with God, Source, Universe, or any divine name, what matters is your intention for your highest good. You may call on your ancestors, past loved ones, or the archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Ariel) to amplify your energetic shield. These prayers will work even if you don’t believe in the divine.

Beginner Questions for Spirit Guides:

For your first week, I recommend focusing on these questions:

“Who am I?”

“What do I need to know today?”

“What is my Single-minded purpose for the day?”

Ask one question at a time, and allow your hand to move freely, then surrender to the flow in which information comes in. Listen to whatever comes to mind first and trust that your guides will direct the movement. When I first started out, I received little snippets of messages like:

“You are loved…”

“You are cherished…”

“You are light…”

“You are protected…”

“We have been waiting for you…”

As I progressed, I began receiving messages taking up 2 full pages in 10 minutes of my sessions. If you are feeling confident, you can skip ahead to more deeper questions? Such as:

“What will bring me the greatest peace?”

“What will bring me peace now at this moment?”

“What do I need to shift the energy inside of me?”

These questions are relevant to the messages from Mary Magdalen. You can always ask your own questions to guide your inquiries.

Signs Your Guides Are Communicating:

• During your sessions, you may experience:
• Tingling in the body, hands, or third eye
• Temperature changes
• A sense of peace or elevated energy
• Words flowing without conscious thought
• Unexpected insights

Protection Techniques for Safe Channeling:

Occasionally, you will notice your ego trying to slip into your conversation. Don’t worry—this is only natural. The key here is discerning the ego’s voice from true guidance. So how can you tell? 

Your ego will speak in judgmental or critical tones like this: 

“You should have done this…”

“You should have done that…”

“You should feel ashamed…”

“Why did you do that….”

“Why are you like this… “

Or speak in logical tones like:

“This will not work for you…”

“Do you really believe in this…”

“Why are you doing this…”

“Are you crazy or something…”

If you suspect ego interference, you will directly instruct it to step aside.

Remember, discernment is a vital skill in communicating with spirit. True angels of high frequency will not engage with your ego or align with negative intentions—this is the universal law. If you sense a presence that does not align with your intentions, immediately state your boundaries with this statement:

“I do not consent to your presence, and I demand that you leave this space with the highest truth and love and fortitude.”

Your Spiritual Awakening Journey:

As you practice, and develop your channel, you may notice signs of spiritual growth such as:

• Enhanced intuition
• Clearer dreams
• Stronger connection to your guides
• Increased synchronicities (Seeing angel numbers like: 1111, 333, 444)

Consistency helps your connection with inner guidance and strengthens your communication with higher-frequency beings. Channel your guides daily for the best results. After each session, refrain from immediately reading your writings. Instead, let the energy settle and return later to transcribe the wisdom shared with you.

Connect with Your Spiritual Community:

I cannot stress enough the importance of establishing proper protection before your session. This practice is meant to provide a pathway to communicate with your inner guides and develop relationships with them to support you in everyday life. As you continue, you will eventually channel your guides without writing, I like to maintain written records to reflect in a later time.

With that said, play with it and adapt to your personal preference as much as you can. Trust that creating your sacred space is key to creating safe connections with the divine.
