Automatic writing is one of the ways of conducting ideomotor dialogue with the unconscious. It represents the writing of a text without the participation of a logical mind. The hand seems to be moving by itself. The author of an automatic letter learns about its content only after reading it.
How can automatic writing be useful to us? First of all, the ability to conduct a dialogue with the subconscious and solve your pressing problems with it. Unlike a pendulum and a dowsing frame, automatic writing gives complete freedom to the unconscious. It can present to our attention everything that it considers important, return to the past or predict the future, any topic in free form.
The content of automatic writing very often includes pictures, incomprehensible signs, circles and, of course, texts. Moreover, the language of writing the text may be unfamiliar even to the author himself!
As a rule, in automatic writing, words are drawn in a continuous chain, and the pencil does not come off the paper. As for handwriting and writing speed, there are a lot of options. In some cases, known to parapsychology, the handwriting remains the same, and in some it changes beyond recognition. The speed of writing an automatic letter can also vary from very slow to incredibly fast. The way of writing can also be different: the subconscious mind can be expressed both from left to right and from right to left. There are even examples of mirrored text! Abbreviations are also sometimes found.
Automatic writing in séances
Initially, automatic writing was used to communicate with spirits and otherworldly entities during seances. And in 1928, a case of communication with the unconscious with the help of automatic writing was first recorded.
Numerous experiments in this area were staged by the parapsychologist F. Wood. Despite attempts to look at the phenomenon of automatic writing from a scientific point of view, it has long been considered as a means of communicating with spirits.

Get creative with automatic writing
One of the manifestations of the automatic writing phenomenon is creativity. History knows many cases when "someone" suddenly took control of the hand of an artist or writer and created masterpieces at the same time. It is not only about an unexpected surge of inspiration, but about the complete control of the unconscious over the action.
One of the interesting cases is the story of F. Xavier. He was born in Brazil and only graduated from primary school. However, he wrote many works: poetry, prose, philosophical treatises. He writes not only in his native language, but also in other languages that he does not know.
Another man, G. Mannsveld, a resident of Holland, never knew how to draw. But he learned to enter a special state in which he painted amazing pictures. He could do this even in the dark or with his eyes closed.
Learning automatic writing
Automatic writing has gained acceptance both among mystics, who use a whole ritual of preparing a place and invoking spirits, and among representatives of science.
The psychologist V. Belyaev describes automatic writing as follows: “Creation of detachment from what you supposedly created. As if someone whispered, prompted. Some kind of energy rushed out. Everything that I wrote was new, unusual, uncharacteristic for me. Not my thoughts, conclusions, not my life experience."
Anita Mehl, a renowned psychiatrist, was involved in research and training in automatic writing. According to her statistics, 4 out of 5 people manage to learn automatic writing. According to Dr. Mehl's theory, the best results are obtained by practicing automatic writing in a trance state. An interesting pattern was also revealed: those who like to "dirty" paper from having nothing to do (say, talking on the phone), show the best ability to learn automatic writing.
As you know, the one who gets in touch with the help of an automatic letter always introduces himself differently. Through many experiments with her students, A. Mel was able to identify seven levels of the subconscious. If the answer was from the lower "layers" of the subconscious, then the author of the automatic letter was presented as an unclean force, and if from the higher - an angel or soul. Such research results seem surprising, since Eastern mystics have known for many centuries that a person consists of seven subtle bodies, each of which corresponds to one of the seven chakras. Was Anita Mel's conclusion about these seven levels?
