Automatic Writing (creativity)....

[Upthevibe]

Does anyone have any techniques to help stimulate this process? (I'll also post in the Lounge).

Thanks....

1. I remember loving this from college, I think the key is to just let it flow.

Like, starting with suggestions or tips kills the concept, as I was taught to do this.

Similar to becoming hypnotized, clear your mind, be comfortable, but instead of listening to the hypnotist listen you your head and write whatever comes to mind...

I remember writing this passage in 1979 in the class, it might be in a notebook somewhere.

"Streetcars Collide, and they will again", inspired by a headline in the SF Chronicle that struck me as odd.

Anyway, grab a pad or notebook (I think it's best not to use a keyboard) and just write:

As fast as you can without thinking twice, let those words just flow!!!

Thank you so much!

I did a lot (not the whole book) of The Artist's Way years ago so I would write my Morning Papers...

Write stream of consciousness.

5. We use that technique

In art therapy. (Active imagination.)

It's a way to access your unconscious.

Enjoy!

This is what I want to do.....Access my unconscious as well as access the collective unconscious (Carl Jung).....

Thank you!

7. Do you have specific questions?.

If so, write the questiin(s) with your dominant hand & answers with your non-dominant hand.

I love Jung's work!

Enjoy!
