Let's be honest—whether you're navigating boardroom politics, making major life decisions, or trying to figure out your next career move, we could all use a little more clarity and guidance in our lives.

The corporate world has traditionally run on pure logic, strategy, and analytical thinking. But here's what I've learned after spending over 20 years in financial services and then diving deep into 14+ certifications in coaching and energy work: when you combine that analytical mindset with spiritual practices, magic happens.

You don't have to choose between being logical and being spiritual. The real power lies in the intersection of both.

What Is Automatic Writing?

Automatic writing is a centuries-old practice that's essentially a form of channeling. You're connecting with divine wisdom—whether that's your higher self, spirit guides, or Source energy—and allowing that guidance to flow through you onto paper.

Think of it as setting aside your conscious, analytical mind and becoming a receiver rather than a thinker. You're not forcing answers; you're allowing them to come through you.

Why This Practice Is a Game-Changer

I use automatic writing almost daily, and it's been invaluable for:

• Gaining clarity on complex decisions (career moves, business strategies, personal challenges)
• Managing difficult relationships (whether it's a challenging boss, coworker, or personal situation)
• Unlocking creativity when you're stuck on a project or need fresh ideas
• Reducing anxiety by getting answers that calm your mind chatter
• Making confident decisions with a sense of inner knowing

The beautiful thing about this practice is that it works whether you're asking about a million-dollar business decision or trying to figure out how to handle a difficult conversation with your teenager.

How to Practice Automatic Writing Safely

Before we dive into the process, let's address the elephant in the room: Is this safe?

Absolutely—when done with proper protection and intention. Here's how to ensure you're connecting only with high-vibrational guidance:

1. Set Clear Intention

Begin by stating: "I intend to connect only with beings of love and light who serve my highest good and God's plan." Your intention acts as a powerful boundary.

2. Call in Protection

I always call upon Archangel Michael for protection. Simply say: "Archangel Michael, please guard and protect me during this practice. Keep any energies not of the light away from my space."

3. Create a Sacred Space

This doesn't have to be elaborate—it could be a corner of your bedroom with a comfortable pillow, some crystals, or meaningful pictures. The key is consistency and intention.

4. Use the Pillar of Light Visualization

Imagine energy from Mother Earth flowing up through your body to Source, then Source energy flowing down through you to Earth, creating a protective shield of light around you.

My 3-Step Process for Automatic Writing

After years of practice, I've developed a simple three-step process that I use almost daily:

Step 1: Prepare Your Energy

• Ground yourself (imagine roots from your feet connecting to Earth)
• Get into a relaxed, high-vibrational state
• Clear any mental clutter (more on this below)
• Do the pillar of light visualization

Step 2: Set Your Intention

• Go to your sacred space with your dedicated journal and pen
• State who you want to connect with
• Be clear about what type of guidance you're seeking

Step 3: Connect and Receive

• Write your question at the top of the page
• Visualize your crown chakra opening like an antenna receiving divine guidance
• Start writing whatever comes to mind—without editing or second-guessing
• Trust the process, even if it feels like you're "making it up"

The Secret to Clear Reception: Clearing Mental Clutter

Here's my biggest tip for successful automatic writing: clear your mind chatter first.

Before you begin, write down everything that's competing for your mental attention. For example:

• "Stressful meeting with my boss"
• "Long to-do list"
• "Big project deadline"

Then, talk yourself through each item: "I know I have this challenging situation, but right now I'm setting it aside to receive guidance that will actually help me handle it better."

This simple practice parks your worries so they don't interrupt your connection.

Getting Started: Essential Tips

1. Use pen and paper (not a computer) - there's something about the physical connection that enhances the flow
2. Choose a journal that makes you happy - this creates positive muscle memory
3. Be in a good emotional state - if you're having a terrible day, do some energy work first
4. Set a timer to reduce pressure (start with 5-10 minutes)
5. Just write - don't edit, correct, or overthink
6. Have no expectations - everyone's experience is different

A Word About Discernment

Remember, spirit guides and your higher self can offer guidance, but they won't make decisions for you. You have free will. What they can provide is insight that helps you make choices aligned with your highest good.
