What are the Akashic Records?

They are described as the universal archive of every soul's experiences, an energetic record of your soul's journey from its beginning to today. People explore them to understand their relationships, their past lives and their soul's purpose, and most often for healing.

What exactly are the Akashic Records?

The Akashic Records are a detailed record of your soul's journey from its beginning to the present day. They're sometimes compared to a vast library, or called a "universal supercomputer" or the "mind of God."

At their core, the Akashic Records are an energetic record that exists in the ether. It sounds abstract, but much like the internet, it's a real source of information you can learn to access once you know how. Think of it as an energetic library that holds every thought, feeling, event and experience since the beginning of time. You don't need to understand why the Records exist, only that they can be accessed to help guide your present life. That energy isn't kept in one place. It's everywhere.

How are the Records accessed?

Accessing the Akashic Records isn't something you can do casually from your normal waking state of mind, though some especially sensitive or intuitive people can do it more easily than others. There are real limits on who can access the Records and why. A clear, pure intention matters, and if someone's intent is harmful, access simply isn't granted. Going back to the internet comparison, every soul has its own "page," all connected with everyone else's.

What can you learn from them?

The Records can be explored in many directions. You might look into ancient civilizations, past ancestors or other members of your soul family. You can also look at your current relationships and gain a clearer understanding of why you're connected to the people you are, including how many lifetimes you may have shared and in what roles. Someone who is your sibling in this life may have been a parent or child in another. At a soul level, you keep choosing how you experience these relationships and what they mean. I write more about this in who really is your soul mate.

How can the Akashic Records help with healing?

The most common reason people seek out the Akashic Records is healing. Maybe you're facing a limitation in your life that other approaches haven't resolved. Sometimes conscious understanding alone doesn't explain why a particular struggle keeps showing up.

Working with the Records for healing works at a soul level. We're each here with a spiritual purpose, a reason for choosing this lifetime, and much of that purpose becomes clearer once you understand whether you're living up to your soul's potential. The Akashic Records are one more real tool for understanding why you're here.
