If you’re the type who can’t predict tomorrow’s date with a calendar in your hand, have never had a dream visitation from a deceased loved one, or wouldn’t recognize a sign from spirit if it knocked you over, Spirit Writing might be for you. Like Automatic Writing but without the “automatic” part, Spirit Writing is a method of communicating with spirits through writing for those of us who don’t have the gift of mediumship.
I’m going to share with you how I began Spirit Writing myself, explain some of the lessons I learned along the way, and then I’ll teach you how to do this yourself in seven simple steps.
You might know that I began my spiritual journey about twenty-six years ago as a cynical skeptic. My father died in 1997, which motivated me to wonder where we go after death. I was a private investigator at the time, so my wife, Melissa, encouraged me to use my skills as a private eye to investigate life after death. I accepted the challenge, not realizing it would become the basis for my passion and career for the rest of my adult life.
Two years after my father’s passing, I stumbled upon a medium who presented me with compelling evidence that life after death exists and my deceased loved ones are alive in spirit. It was this reading of spirit communication that kicked my investigation of the afterlife into high gear.
Having met some gifted spiritual practitioners during my research, I realized I might be the most ungifted person in the world. I’m sure it didn’t help that my tendency was toward skepticism until I could prove to myself that something was legitimate. Nonetheless, I really wished I didn’t have to rely upon practitioners for my spiritual experiences.
I also believed strongly that no one should become dependent upon another person for his or her spiritual connection. This inspired my search for a method that I could use to link with spirit on my own—sans medium.
