Intention is all that matters... finding your inner voice

I have found that if I am stuck in some way, need to let go of something, need to explore what the next step is the best way to achieve this is by automatic writing.

It is such a simple way to invite creativity back into our lives and get the answers we seek.

Just sit down, set the intention on what it is that you would like to achieve, set out the amount of pages you would like to fill and then just start writing... write every thought that is in your mind without judgment and keep on writing. If you are stuck and don't know what to write as your mind might be full of "what should I write", then do just that... write "what should I write, what should I write, what should I write..." until there is another thought that pops into your mind.

I have used this technique to let my creativity flow, to let go of all the voices in our heads that tell us what to do or not to do (society is a biggie); I have used it when needing an answer to a question that I just could not put my mind around. 

When you practice automatic writing it becomes a flow... you write a question and automatically you inner guidance takes over and it will be as if you are reading a book whilst writing it, not sure what the next sentence is until it pours out of you.

If your intention is to let something go, don't judge, don't engage and don't re-read. You want to let it go and not keep on entertaining it.

To illustrate, I will post stories I have written with the intention of letting my creativity flow and this is what came out of it...
