Escaping the "Fluffy" Spiritual (3rd)

Well then,

Last time,

"Writing equals a meditative state"

is not true.

That is what I talked about.

And finally, didn't a question like this come up?

👇

So in the end, how should I distinguish between automatic writing and journaling?

( ´ᐞ` ).｡o?

First of all, something I want to say right away

This,

which one is superior⬆️

which one is correct⚖️

It's not about that at all.

To use an analogy...

a hammer🔨 and a screwdriver🪛

Both of these are "tools"

But they each have different uses, right?

Right?

The difference between automatic writing and journaling is something like this too.

Is that analogy okay? Does it make sense?

When to use journaling

Journaling is suitable when:


⭐︎ Your feelings are a mess

⭐︎ You don't know the source of your unease

⭐︎ You just want to vent

⭐︎ Your mind is noisy

In other words,

When you want to organize your "current inner self"

When your "inner self is cluttered" like this,

you use it to write down your emotions just as they are.

That is how you use it.

It's okay if it's not a proper, polished piece of writing.

It's fine to write "Ah! I'm so done!" or "I don't get it!"

After all, only you will see it.

Here, you don't need to worry about the beauty of your words at all.

When using automatic writing

In the case of automatic writing

It is a little different from the journaling mentioned earlier

⟡ You are feeling a bit calm

⟡ Your emotional waves are not that large

⟡ You want a perspective from a step back

It is suitable for times like these

To use an analogy...

If journaling is

"tidying up inside a room"

then automatic writing is

"going outside the room to see the whole picture"

that is how it feels

Common misalignments (this is important!)

If you try to do "automatic writing" because you want some kind of message, even though you are actually in a state where "journaling" is what you need...

this is usually what happens

👇

Words that sound like something will come out
⇩
But you still feel unsettled...
⇩
And in the end, you feel anxious again

This isn't a lack of ability, it's just that

the order is reversed [Back ↔ Front]

that is all

The Amane-style rough judgment method

If you're unsure, do this♪

👇

When your emotions are stirred up
(((( ;`ω´)))(`ω´;((`ω´; ))) *agitated*

→ Journaling

A little quiet
(゜_゜)(  °‪꒳​°  )(  °-° ) *calm*

→ Automatic writing

I'm using silly emoticons, but this is an extremely important topic, okay?

Automatic writing is not something

"you should just do whenever"

It's not like that at all.

In fact,

there are times when it's better not to do it

at all.

You can do journaling whenever you feel "cluttered," though.

Once you understand the difference here,

you can take a step away from "fluffy" spirituality.

Conclusion

Journaling → Organizing your "inside"

Automatic writing → Taking a step back to look (from the "outside")

Both are based on a meditative state, but

if you get the order

wrong, it becomes difficult.

That's why what's important is whether you, right now,

"What kind of state is it?"

You need to look at this first.

Next time, I'll dive in a little deeper.
((≖֊≖)✨

Are you connected?

Or is it just your own thoughts?

How... do you tell the difference? (ﾟ-ﾟ)💧‬

This is a topic that I think everyone struggles with at least once.

I'll be talking about the boundary line where you don't get too "fluffy," but still keep your intuition intact.

I'll talk about that boundary line.
