Automatic Writing: Unlock Hidden Messages Within
Automatic Writing: Letting the Wisdom Flow Through
A Simple & Sacred Practice for Channeling Insight Through the Written Word
“When you write without reaching, the words return as gifts. This is the language of stillness learning to speak.”

💭 What Is Automatic Writing?
Automatic writing is a sacred, spontaneous form of written channeling, where words come through without force, thought, or expectation.
It’s not about being a good writer.
It’s not about crafting meaning.
It’s about receiving.
That “something” you receive might be:
- Your higher self
- A loving guide or presence
- Your soul voice
- A knowing deeper than thought
You simply open the space, put pen to paper, and let the words come.
🌀 How It Differs from Journaling
Journaling is about processing.
Automatic writing is about listening.
Journaling comes from you.
Automatic writing comes through you.
Sometimes the language is poetic. Sometimes it’s strange.
Sometimes it feels like a message you didn’t expect, but needed deeply.
🖤 Why I Use It (and Why You Might Too)
At Hellbloom Haven, automatic writing is one of my most sacred tools.
I use it to:
- Tap into subtle guidance when I feel unsure
- Hear from parts of myself that are often quiet or hidden
- Co-create content and offerings from an intuitive place
- Hold space for grief, healing, and remembrance
It’s gentle. Safe. Simple. And always available.
✨ A Simple Ritual to Begin
You don’t need to know how to “channel.”
You just need space, stillness, and a willingness to receive.
🌿 Step 1: Open the Space
- Sit somewhere quiet
- Breathe deeply into your body
- Set a simple intention:
“I now open to receive loving and clear guidance.
Only truth. Only light. Only what serves my highest good.”
✍️ Step 2: Ask a Question
Try asking:
- “What does my soul want me to know today?”
- “What energy am I holding that I need to name?”
- “What part of me is ready to speak?”
Or simply write:
“Dear wisdom…” and let it begin.
🖋 Step 3: Let the Words Flow
- Write without thinking or filtering
- Don’t correct spelling or try to make it pretty
- Even if it starts awkwardly (“I don’t know what to say”), keep going
- The message often lives under the noise
Let the flow come for 5–15 minutes. Then pause.
🕊 Step 4: Close Gently
- Thank whatever came through
- Place your hand over your heart
- Reflect or re-read only if you feel called
You may feel lighter. Clearer. Or simply more connected to something deep within.
🛡️ Energetic Protection Matters
Automatic writing may feel simple, but it’s a portal.
You’re inviting energy, emotion, memory, and insight to move through you. That’s powerful.
To keep your space sacred, it’s important to practice energetic hygiene, just like you would with any healing or intuitive work.
🕊️ Before You Begin:
- Light a candle or burn herbs to mark the space
- Say clearly (aloud or silently):
“Only energies of love, clarity, and truth may come through.
I am protected. I am grounded. I am sovereign.”
- You may place a grounding crystal nearby (black tourmaline, hematite, smoky quartz)
- Visualize a golden or white light around you as a cocoon of protection
🌿 When You’re Done:
- Thank the energy, your guides, or your own spirit for showing up
- Close the practice with breath, movement, or gentle touch
- Wash your hands or clear your energy field with sound or scent
- Say:
“This channel is now closed. My energy is my own.”
Boundaries are not about fear, they’re about love.
When your space feels safe, your soul will speak more freely.
🧠 “But What If I’m Just Making It Up?”
That’s okay. Write anyway.
Your subconscious is wise, and your intuition speaks through layers.
If the words:
- Surprise you
- Feel softer or wiser than your usual thoughts
- Stir something in your heart
Then trust the channel. It’s working.
🌌 What Might Come Through?
You might receive:
- A message from your higher self
- An inner part of you (your inner child, inner guide, or soul archetype)
- A word, phrase, or metaphor that brings clarity
- A deep release through poetic or emotional language
Some days it will be clear.
Some days it will be quiet.
Both are sacred.

🖋 Final Whisper
“Your hand may hold the pen,
