Have you ever heard of the technique of automatic writing ? It is possible that when you read this word, the classic medium will immediately come to mind on a table and bent over a paper, writing in a trance state what an alleged spirit is dictating.
Good The truth is that it is much more than this.It is first and foremost a technique of liberation and personal expression that, with a little training, can allow us to get many ideas, many emotions and feelings that, from otherwise, we could not prove abroad.
Automatic writing goes beyond the field of the supernatural, it is a really curious act of creation that deserves to have a place in our space.Would you like to know more? ?
Automatic writing, a chimney for the liberation of the unconscious
When talking about the unconscious, surely you cannot avoid thinking about the classic Freudian psychotherapist working with your patient on the subject of repressed thoughts, of childhood problems not overcome or of repression sexual sions.While it is true that this technique aims to break that censorship that puts its security seal on everything that represses our moral scale or our fears, we could also say that automatic writing was also conceived as an artistic expression.
It was Andre Breton , poet, essayist and leading exponent of surrealism who proposed this technique as a more than ideal way to bring those ideas from the sewers of our mind, those purest, more mystical and intense phrases of the human being.It would be almost "like a photograph" of the most intimate thought, and therefore, nothing could be more beautiful than those verses written in an intense process of automatic writing.means of liberation and also a working instrument to "create".
Podri Let us say then that automatic writing had special significance in three areas: In literature, in psychology and in the field of the supernatural.For psychologists, utility was within the lines of the field of subconscious analysis, where to delve deeper in those ideas that people could bring to light after having taught patients, previously, to develop the technique of automatic writing.It is what was known as «psychography».
And what about the most supernatural area? The New Age current, for example, became very interested throughout the twentieth century in this strategy, it was a way for the unconscious mind to come into contact, so to speak, with higher entities to capture what they called "channeled messages" from angels.Curious, right? However, you can not talk about automatic writing without relating it, of course, with Spiritism and its importance throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.It is interesting to know that for them, it is really a type of Medium-size writing , where a person serves as a channel to get in touch with those entities from beyond.
Would you like to know what types of automatic writing spiritualists developed?
- Intuitive writing: In this type of writing, there is an encounter between auras, where there suddenly appear sensations, ideas that the medium tries to represent in words.an intuition, a series of emotions that the person tries to shape with words.
- Semi-automatic writing: in this case, I no longer know On only sensations that translate with greater or lesser difficulty with words, in this case there are already verbally expressed messages that the medium receives and writes immediately on paper.It should also be noted that the medium is very aware of what he writes.
- Automatic writing : here, as already you can imagine, we have the clearest and most classical example of this technique.The "disembodied" spirit takes absolute control over the medium, like the musician who moves the strings of a violin to fine tune its melody and leave its music, its message, through of the medium and of a sheet and a paper.The hand of the medium, is a simple channeler of an unconscious mind that has been "taken" by an entity from beyond.
And now tell us Do you think this technique has any use today? Have you ever used it to free your mind, vent stress or create a poetic composition? Do not hesitate to leave us your opinion, meanwhile, we invite you to learn about Victor Hugo's curious experience with spiritism.
