Essentially, automatic writing, when broken down is simple. It involves:
Getting a pen and paper/opening a notepad or word document Thinking of
a question to ask

Writing down the question

Relaxing your body and mind
Allow the writing to flow spontaneously
However, automatic writing in practice is something that you’ll have to
patiently develop (unless you have a natural gift for it).
You also might find, like many people, that the first time you try automatic
writing it goes really well. But after that, you struggle a lot. The reason this
happens is that when we try something new, our minds are often empty of
belief and expectation. However, afterward, we begin to accumulate mental
baggage which blocks the process of spontaneous revelation.
Don’t worry if this happens. All you’ll need to learn is how to empty the
mind, and I’ll share some tips below about how to do this below:
1. Think of a question that you want guidance about
The whole purpose of automatic writing is to access guidance from your
Soul, especially if you struggle to hear it in daily life.
Start each session with a clear question, and write it down in your notebook
or word document. Choose a question that has really been pulling at your
heart or eating you up inside. The more emotionally-charged the question
is, the clearer your response will be.
It’s also important that you address your question to someone or something
in particular such as your Soul, a Spirit Guide or your unconscious mind.
For example, your question could be “Dear Soul, why do I keep sabotaging
my happiness?” 

Try to keep your questions simple. If you have many questions, break them
up into different sessions of writing — this will make the process easier for
you.
