This is a method of communicating that allows you to receive detailed messages from beyond. There may be some people who are afraid of automatic writing because they've heard stories about Earthbound spirits who come through these sessions pretending to be angels or master guides. There are ways to protect yourself from this happening.
You can use automatic writing sessions with virtually anyone in the spirit world, such as deceased loved ones, those who spoke different languages, those who were retarded or mute, even deceased pets. Our spirits communicate nonverbally, and then "translate" the messages into our own language.
You can have conversations with God, your guardian angels, ascended masters, archangels, enlightened beings, space people, even animals of any kind. This is usually done with handwriting, typing on a typewriter or computer. Automatic writing sessions are and should always be blessed with prayer of your own spiritual beliefs to protect the reading from any unwanted entities.
