Throughout my blog, Living Marvelously, I talk a lot about living your dream life. But the question comes up: “What if I don’t know what that is?” In this post, I want to introduce you to automatic writing. Using automatic writing prompts and meditation is one way you can connect to your higher self and use the help to download your dream life.
Sometimes a dream life can sound like a fantasy—something you can never have but that sounds nice.
Or you may think that you are comfortable with where you are, and there is no need for more.
But I believe that the meaning of life is to live it. And the universe would not be as big and beautiful as it is if we were meant to stay in our little bubble.
Our small brains cannot possibly hold all the information that the universe has to offer. They also do not know all the possibilities available to live your dream life.
Occasionally, you need to take a moment to connect and listen to what else there is for you.
To give you an idea, here are a couple of things I have downloaded:
- Training in front of groups
- Living in a house on the beach during the winter
- Many ideas for blog posts or courses
- Seeing myself with lots of people in an office working on my blog
- Two of the writing prompts below
- Smiling with friends on vacation
Some of those have come true, and some I am still working towards.
Taking the time to reflect is one of the most underused yet powerful tools you can use to get to know who you are and discover the life you want to live.
When you can clear your mind, connect with your higher spirit, and listen for guidance or inspiration, you will be amazed at what is downloaded.
Downloading the information and writing it in a journal gives you awareness of what is possible. Awareness of what your dream life can look like is the first step to getting there.
Before I give you the meditations and prompts, let me tell you a little bit about what automatic writing is.
“Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.” Ray Bradbury
How to Do Automatic Writing
Wikipedia describes automatic writing as a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. That’s not the kind of automatic writing I’m talking about. That sounds a little scary and creepy. The kind of automatic writing I want you to use is when you tap into the subconscious mind’s expansive intelligence, wisdom, and creativity.
The first thing you must do is set aside your thinking mind. Take a few deep breaths and get quiet before you read the prompts. Then put pen to paper and write whatever comes to mind. Don’t think about or judge it. Just write.
The goal is to get into a flow and just let the words be written. It might be good to set a timer so you don’t feel distracted by needing to stop.
Don’t worry about whether it makes sense or not. Let the ideas simmer in your mind and see if they come up in any other synchronistic way. You may also see a pattern if you do this regularly.
You will know if this is being downloaded from your higher self if it feels good and if it’s not something you have thought of before. If it feels negative or heavy, stop and start over.
Ok, let’s get started!
Automatic Writing Meditations
These are two brief guided meditations that I have narrated. Use these daily or whenever you are feeling a little out of alignment.
Each short meditation begins with centering your mind and feeling a connection to your higher spirit.
To clarify what your dream life can look like, be sure to ask a specific question.
Such as:
- What does my dream life look like?
- What other possibilities are there in my life?
- Help me visualize what a happy life looks like.
Guidance for a Current Struggle (3:49 Audio)
Ask for specific guidance on the biggest struggle you have today and how to find peace with it. This may lead you to options you haven’t thought of that will make you happier.
Spirit Take My Hand (3:08 Audio)
A prompt to help you connect with the universe and let it lead you to write freely and through a stream of consciousness. Have the intention of downloading your dream life into your mind.
Be sure to have your journal ready for download!
Automatic Writing Prompts
Remember to take a few deep breaths and clear your mind before you read the prompts. Then just write whatever comes to mind—no thinking or judging.
Prompt #1: Spirit Take My Hand
“Here I am. Take my hand. I am ready, willing, and worthy to speak with you right here and right now. Thank you in advance for your words, your wisdom, your guidance, and your grace. Amen”
Prompt #2: Thank You for the Guidance
“Good morning, Lord, universe, and all my angels. Thank you for my blessed life. For the opportunity to choose what I want to do based on what I love. My options to play out my dreams. For the awareness of when I need to pause and reflect on what I’m doing and where I’m going. And for guidance to help me decide what my priority is now. Today, I ask for your guidance on _______________. Thank you in advance for your words.”
Prompt #3: Visualize My Dream Life
“Today, I ask you for a vision. A vision of what makes me happy. A vision of what I’m grateful for and what I’m prepared to manifest in my life. Please give me the words to describe my visions. Thank you for helping me see the many possibilities for a marvelous life.”
