Did you know that your soul has the key to answering all your questions about life? It’s true! We all have the spiritual ability to tap into our innermost selves and gain insight into our life path. However, it’s not always an easy journey to become aligned enough with our inner selves to have the answers.

Becoming aligned with oneself is the key to happiness and a flourishing life. When you commit to pursuing alignment, the first step you’ll need to take is learning to channel your soul’s wisdom. Meditation, journaling, and self-reflection are some of the most impactful ways to do that. Automatic writing is an intentional and effective way to get started.

What Is Automatic Writing & How Does It Work?

Automatic writing is journaling with intention. However, instead of wracking your brain trying to answer a journal prompt, you let your soul guide you. You must meditate on the prompt for a few minutes, pick up a pen, and trust the process.

When you practice automatic writing, you respond to the prompt while letting go of the need to make your thoughts cohesive. While you’re automatic writing, you trust your inner soul to listen to what your brain says and write down the wisdom you need to hear. Your only job is to surrender yourself to your soul wisdom and feel the emotions along the way.

When you start automatic writing, it might not feel natural at first. That’s why it’s great to start with some prompts to sharpen your skills. Eventually, you’ll be able to listen to what your soul has to say without prompts. However, they offer a significant first step. Another excellent tool is to connect with life path psychics and other popular psychics online.
