Akashic Records 101: Accessing Your Soul’s Records

A long time ago, one of my friends was talking about an Akashic Records reading and how it helped her to gain new insights and inspiration. Until then, I’d never heard of Akashic Records, but it instantly got my attention.

I started to explore this topic and it’s over a decade now. The research that I have performed has allowed me to understand that the Akashic Records can be a source of great wisdom, healing, and even psychic connection.

And the great part is, that it’s not hard to connect to the Akashic Records once you understand what it is. So, you don’t need to spend the amount of time that I have spent because you can learn from my experiences.

That’s why I’ve compiled this in-depth guide in which I’ll explain everything you need to know about Akashic Records. It’ll help you learn how you can enter them, what kind of information is available, and what will happen when you open the Akashic Records.

What Are the Akashic Records

In simple words, a non-physical, vibrational library called Akashic Records is a gigantic place in which every account of every life is kept. Not only does it contain all the lifetimes of human beings but also other life forms. This physical-sounding description is a bit misleading.

Technically speaking, the Akashic Records are in the astral realm (non-physical plane), which means it’s not a physical, tangible place. Thus, when people say they “visited” the Akashic Records, they’re describing a shift in their conscious awareness.

They are speaking more specifically about entering into a connection with a spiritual dimension and describing it through familiar physical constructs.

Helena Blavatsky, a famous occultist, and member of the Theosophical Society spoke of the existence of “tablets of light” which contained all information about all people, places, events, and time.

The Akashic Records Meaning

The term Akashic has its roots in the Sanskrit word “Akasha” meaning “ether” or something that’s associated with the atmosphere. In metaphysical teachings, Akasha is the element of magic. It is also the elemental synthesis of the four physical elements, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.

Thus, the Akashic Records exist in the ether and embody all aspects of all occurrences that have taken place, including human lifetimes.

Again, these are not actual books or tablets in an actual, physical library. They exist in an energetic realm but they can still help us attain crystal-clear clarity about our soul’s journey and lives.

Some people believe they are in the mental realm and others describe their location in the astral or spiritual realm.

How Can You Enter the Akashic Records?

Some people believe that entering the Akashic Records requires the assistance of a guide, and that approval is necessary to access specific information about one’s own path or the paths of others.

This belief aims to ensure that individuals do not delve into information they may not be ready for or that could be counterproductive.

However, it is important to note that certain modern gurus may claim that there is only one true way or prayer to access the Akashic Records, which is not accurate.

As psychic beings, we all possess the potential to connect with the Akashic Records, as they are part of the Collective Unconscious that links us to the Divine. No one has exclusive access to the Collective Unconscious.

Therefore, it is advisable to explore and experiment with various methods and meditations to discover your own path to access the Records. Through personal experience, you will realize that it is possible to enter the Akashic Records without relying solely on the guidance of a guru.

Aligning Yourself with Protective Guides

Many books have been written with instructions on how to enter your own Akashic Records. Usually, the process involves some kind of grounding or purification first, aligning yourself with protective guides and healing energy (more about this in the next paragraph).

This also helps you to align with your best ideals and intentions and prohibits you from approaching the Akashic Records with too much emphasis on ego or with unintended wicked intentions.

If you, for instance, are upset with an ex and want to get him or her back, consulting the Akashic Records to manipulate them is not ideal and so the alignment with higher guides will prevent you from acting on this base desire.

Suggested Steps in Your Meditation Process

During your meditation process, it is suggested to follow a few steps. Start by grounding yourself, centering your energy, and aligning with your Higher Guides. Visualize a way to leave behind any emotional or energetic baggage, such as visualizing a well or a river for cleansing purposes.

Next, imagine or visualize a library of some kind as the gateway to the Akashic Records.

When entering the library with your guide, set the intention to explore a specific record. It could be related to your current incarnation, past lifetimes, or even focused on healing aspects.

Allow your guide to facilitate the process and determine whether you are granted access to the desired record. If access is granted, proceed to ask your questions or be open to receiving the information provided.

It is important to note that the information received may not always manifest in written form but can take various other forms as well.

Additionally, always remember that this practice serves as a vehicle to access higher consciousness, and the information received may transcend mere words.

Obstacles to Open the Akashic Records

Doubt and fear are often the biggest obstacles to accessing the wisdom of the Akashic Records. If you hold rigid expectations about how the experience should look or feel, you may unintentionally create barriers for yourself.

So, you need to have an open mind and be receptive to the information that comes through all of your senses. Practice accessing the Akashic Records regularly to become more comfortable with the process. By doing so, you will develop a greater level of attunement.

Additionally, engaging in regular meditation can enhance your overall receptivity, making it easier to access the Records or engage in other targeted meditative practices.

Remember, letting go of doubt and fear while maintaining an open mind and consistent practice can greatly support your journey in accessing the wisdom of the Akashic Records.

What Happens When You Open the Akashic Records?

It is believed that when you enter the Akashic Records, you can access all information about your past lives, present, and future lives, and also all information about the paths of others. In general, this Akashic record is considered a place where all truths are known.

While Akashic record experiences may vary from individual to individual, there is usually a benevolent guide, being, or guiding angel who will help you access the Akashic Records. Also, Spirit will use your own “language” to convey information.

If you are a movie buff, the Records may appear as images on a film screen. If you are an avid reader, you may see the Akashic Records as books in a library.

Some describe actually feeling like they are channeling the information from the records through a close connection with their guides. The more you visit the Akashic Records, the more comfortable and confident you will be in using this channel to access higher wisdom.

How to Read the Akashic Records

The Akashic Records are believed to contain a vast amount of information about events from the past, present, and even the future. As a result, they are considered valuable for purposes such as divination and healing. However, it is important to recognize that certain boundaries exist within this realm.

Think of searching the Akashic Records as conducting a Google search. You can request specific information about topics like disease and healing, past lives, relationships, soul journeys, and more.

Yet, your access to this information will be filtered through the guidance of your spiritual guides. If they deem you unready to receive certain details, you may be temporarily prevented from accessing that specific information, much like a computer’s antivirus protection blocking a search.

If you are granted access to the information you seek, you may gain insights into your relationships with others. Your connection to a friend, lover, or even an adversary can be illuminated from a higher perspective.

You may also uncover the root causes of illnesses or injuries in your personal path and spiritual growth. This understanding may prompt you to seek ways to heal and reconcile relationships once you grasp the roles you were destined to play in each other’s lives.

Benefits of Working with the Akashic Records

Working with the Akashic Records can help you delve into past life (or lives) and future possibilities. This can enhance your psychic work and work with Tarot and other tools.

When you work with Akashic Records, you’re looking at the highest possible view of events. Therefore, the information may be sent in less physical and more symbolic ways.

This can lead to greater healing and understanding. You may have an emotionally cleansing experience when you visit the Akashic Records. You may come away with a deeper understanding of the issues that led to a divorce for example.

You may also come away with a stronger sense of your mission and purpose because of information gleaned from the Akashic Records.

Edgar Cayce used the Akashic Records and his subconscious mind to deliver accurate and helpful psychic readings. His readings were focused specifically on healing and diagnosis of the origins of disease and illness in the individual.

Those who use the Akashic Records in this way look to the wisdom that is collected in what can be thought of as a storehouse of connection between all people and all life.

If you already work with Tarot cards, the archetypal wisdom of the Akashic Records may appear in your awareness as a Tarot card or symbols you recognize from the Tarot.

Important Tips to Keep in Mind While Dealing with Akashic Records

When dealing with the concept of Akashic Records, it’s important to have an open mind and respect for the process. Here are some tips to follow.

Set Your Intention

Before delving into the Akashic Records, clarify your intention and purpose for accessing them. Define what you hope to gain or learn from the experience. This helps focus your energy and establishes a clear direction for your exploration.

Go into a Receptive State

Find a quiet and calm environment where you can relax and clear your mind. Engage in meditation, deep breathing exercises, or any other practice that helps you enter a receptive state. This allows you to connect more easily with the information in the Akashic Records.

Establish Protection and Grounding

It’s essential to create a protective and grounded space before engaging with Akashic Records. You can visualize a shield of light surrounding you or invoke spiritual protection through prayer or other rituals.

Grounding techniques, such as visualizing roots extending from your feet into the Earth, help you stay centered and connected.

Develop Your Intuition

Trust your intuition and inner guidance while exploring the Akashic Records. Pay attention to any insights, images, or feelings that arise during the process. Trust your inner knowing and allow it to guide your exploration.

Practice Discernment

While accessing the Akashic Records, it’s crucial to practice discernment. Not all information received may be accurate or relevant to your current situation. Use your intuition and critical thinking to evaluate the insights you receive and determine their validity and applicability to your life.

Remember Your Experiences

Maintain a journal or record of your experiences with the Akashic Records. Document the insights, messages, and guidance you receive during your sessions. This helps you track your progress, identify patterns, and gain a deeper understanding of the information revealed.

Seek Guidance

If you are new to working with Akashic Records, consider seeking guidance from experienced practitioners or teachers. They can offer valuable insights, techniques, and support to help you navigate the process effectively.

Remember, the exploration of the Akashic Records is a deeply personal and spiritual journey. Embrace the process with patience, curiosity, and an open heart, and allow the wisdom of the Records to enrich your life.

Can You Have a Negative Experience When Entering Akashic Records?

The experience of entering the Akashic Records, like most meditative experiences, is uplifting and healing.

If you have a “negative” experience in which you feel fearful, anxious, or compelled to do something you wouldn’t normally do, this may be a manifestation of anxiety in your subconscious.

These negative experiences are not part of accessing the Akashic Records and may suggest discomfort with meditating or unhealed psychological issues that are triggering fearful responses.

If this happens to you, it may be best to work on relaxation techniques and meditation in general before going into more specific techniques like accessing your own records.

Are You Ready to Work with Akashic Records?

Based on the previous information, are you ready to access your Akashic Records? If so, keep in mind that when working with the Akashic Records, you are entering a realm of spirituality and love.

It’ll allow you to connect with your guides and unlock your potential. So, this experience should always feel loving and positive.

Even when exploring challenging issues such as illness or loss, the Akashic Records provide a space for connection, love, transformation, and healing.

The more you utilize this method to access your higher wisdom, the greater improvements you may witness in your predictive work, Tarot readings, and psychic development.

By aligning your energy with higher vibrations, you maintain this elevated state even outside of the meditation practice.

Consider trying different methods of accessing the Akashic Records to determine which one resonates best with you. It’s helpful to write down or record your experiences during or immediately after the meditation to capture the information while it’s fresh in your mind.

As you alter your consciousness during the meditation process, the information received may feel like a dream. Although you may initially believe you will remember everything, it’s common for details to fade after a few minutes.

Therefore, it is beneficial to pause and document your experiences either through recording or writing.

If someone asks you to seek information on their behalf, always allow your guides to serve as the gatekeepers who determine whether you can access that information.

Never attempt to intrude on another person’s Records without their consent. Just as you wouldn’t invade someone’s privacy by snooping through their phone, you should respect the privacy of others’ paths.

The primary goal should always be personal growth and healing, not infringing on the privacy of others.
