Automatic Writing is also the term....
Yes, you can do it alone, but same cautions as a Ouija board...
Here are some tips, as I used to do this quite often (the story of which is buried here somewhere)...
1. Get in a position where your arm can just hang...you don't want to have to hold it up, such as dangling off a couch, etc.
2. Write down the question (start with yes or no type, and perhaps a greeting)..then do something else like watch tv, listen to the radio, etc.
Eventually, the writing will start. Be patient, it may take some time...
3. Ask the same question more than once...(this will let you verify the pattern of the writing)...it also may be necessary, as the author may not be
that adept at it at first.... You'll be surprised as an answer gets more and more legible...with the same peaks, etc. as the previous answers, but
just more legible.
4. Most importantly...don't take all of it at face value. Many of these entities seem to delight in first sucking you in (and you'll gain great
insight during this stage), but then slowly twisting, until eventually it gets downright scary... At that point, cut the cord, and take a break from
it (a few weeks at least).... Remember that YOU are the one in control, and YOU are the one initiating contact, and YOU have the power to sever that
contact...
