To answer your question – when I do automatic writing, I don’t actually do any preparation. I just put my hands on the keyboard and type. But that’s just me…if you feel like you want to prepare in some way, then go for it! And I think you’re right, grounding yourself before connecting to the higher realms is always a good idea.

Btw, did you read my article on my process for doing a reading? http://healingandinsight.com/developing-psychic-abilities-spirit-world/how-to-tune-into-your-spirit-guides – if you want some steps for preparation, you may find some of the steps in there helpful.

Great post. What ways or methods do you prepare yourself to do a session like this.

I would have thought grounding yourself to be a good idea. I read the book Trust Your Vibes by Sonia Choquette yesterday and she was talking about how doing something physical resets your system and clears accumulated stuff in your aura. I think that’s a good idea even if you don’t do automatic writing.

Anyway I’d like to hear how you ease yourself into one of these.

That was brave of you to share your automatic writing with one another! No-one gets to see mine

Maybe you got some crazy stuff as well so that you would feel playful and raise your vibration? I thought of that because my guides keep telling me that the state of playfulness and fun is the best state to access intuitive guidance.

Btw, I wrote a definition of the Higher Self here: http://healingandinsight.com/intuition/whos-my-higher-self

However, some of the stuff we wrote was really crazy so we got to have a good laugh!! And we also had a lot of doubt, I guess you can never really be sure if it’s just your own mind writing it …

But it was still a beautiful exercise and I agree with what you’re saying about being comforted. The answers I received were definitely comforting and it certainly did raise my vibration at the time. Thanks for the article
