What are the Akashic Records?

It’s been well established that those who possess intuitive skills, whether naturally or acquired through training, can pick up unspoken informational messages being broadcast around them. The question then arises; but where does this information come from?

Imagine a mega cosmic databank that continually stores every past, present, and future relationship, event, thought, and deed related to every lifetime of every Soul, for all eternity. Then imagine this body of detailed information is available 24-7 to be deciphered by anyone who has the desire and the skills to do so.

The compendium of information referenced here, has become widely known as the “Akashic Records” in Eastern spiritual and Western metaphysical circles, and the “Book of Life,” and the ”Hall of Records” within the Christian Bible, as well as the sacred texts of other religions.

In the early 1900s Edgar Cayce, the renowned “Sleeping Prophet,” who read the Akashic Records for many clients, popularized the concept of the records by speaking and writing about their inherent properties. Consequently, today there are a plethora of professional Akashic Records Readers, as well as books, classes, and You Tube videos to indulge.

The Akashic Records Defined

The term, Akasha, is a Sanskrit word from the Yoga, Hindu and Buddhist traditions and can be translated to mean something like an etheric malleable material that surrounds everything now in existence, has ever existed, or will exist in the future.

Thus, the term, Akashic Records, refers to the information that has been imprinted upon the Akasha, like data saved to an “ethereal” cloud based storage facility.

While data from the past creates a permanent record, the malleability of the Akasha enables the potential future to be continually altered. As intentions, and situations change in the present, the future changes, as well.

This is reminiscent of the scene from a Harry Potter movie, when the images and words in a newspaper story continually changed on the page with real time events. This was a fine example of art imitating real life, as the details of the present and future are ever changing in the Akashic Records. Our own and others’ actions and thoughts in the present affect the future.

But How Are the Akashic Records Even Possible?

To begin to understand the existence of the Akashic Records, we must first realize that we are energetic beings, living in an energetic Universe. Everything material and non-material in the Universe is made of energy, possesses its own personal energy field, and exists within a larger Universal energy field. 

The Universal Field of energy, that surrounds and permeates all of existence, contains three main forms of energy; light energy that fuels and animates, healing energy, or Reiki, and information energy {the Akashic Records).

The information form of energy within the Universal Field is what the Intuitive, Psychic, or Akashic Records Reader is picking up for themselves and others in the form of messages.

What Types of Knowledge Can Be Gleaned From One’s Akashic Records?

Although all types of information can be obtained from the Akashic Records, the most popularly desired information relates to a Soul’s past lives.

However, the purpose of accessing records from one’s past lives should not be for entertainment, but rather for guidance in understanding and navigating the circumstances of one’s current life.

Below lists but some of the types of helpful information that one can access within their own Soul’s Akashic Records:

• Dynamics of past life relationships
• Karmic influences on current life situations
• Meaning of a current life mystery illness
• Progression of a Soul’s spiritual path
• Blocks to spiritual growth
• Why some current life experiences continually repeat

Questions Not to Ask of the Akashic Records

Since everyone involved in a situation has the free will to make a change that will change the future outcome, the future is never written in stone, and neither is the timing of events. Therefore, it’s advised not to ask predictive or timing type questions of one’s Akashic Records:

• Will questions
• When questions
• Yes/No questions

Instead, questions that are not fate-based, and thus empowering, are recommended to ask of one’s Akashic Records:

• Why questions
• What questions
• How questions

Can the Future Be Found in the Akashic Records?

The future events that can be found in the Akashic Records today are only the current possibilities, if nothing around the situation changed between now and then, but of course everything is always changing.

The future is malleable, meaning it’s shaped by the moment-to-moment decisions, intentions, deeds and events of those involved in the situation. Again, the future is never carved in stone; rather it exists in a continuous state of flux.

Fortunately, an unfavorable future seen in the Akashic Records today, can be changed to a better outcome, by changing something in the present. This serves as an invaluable cosmic heads-up!

How Are the Akashic Records Accessed?

One can either access their desired information from their own Akashic Records directly, or seek out a professional Akashic Records Reader to access their records on their behalf.

The Akashic Records can be accessed, much like googling information on a computer, by a number of methods, that are each equally valid and effective:

• Sacred Prayer
• Hypnosis
• Reiki Symbols
• Meditation
• Psychic Development Practices

Each professional Akashic Records Reader and/or Teacher of such, have their own proprietary method of accessing the records. However, they all agree that no one should access another’s records without their explicit permission. This would be an invasion of privacy.

Channeling the Records

Akashic Records readings are often described as “channeling the records.” However, this is not the same meaning as the channeling of a disembodied Spirit that enters and takes over the channeler’s body in order to speak through them, as is the case in the Abraham Material channeled by renowned channeler, Esther Hicks.

Although, there may be Spirit Guides assisting in opening the records for an Akashic Records reading, ‘channeling the records” refers to the Akashic Records Reader accessing and downloading information directly from the Akashic Records and then relaying this information to their client.

Summing Up

Akashic Records readings can be very beneficial for resolving mysteries regarding one’s karmic debt, past life relationships, and the pre-incarnate purpose and spiritual growth intended for one’s current lifetime.

I hope you’ll give an Akashic Records reading a try, by either a professional Akashic Records Reader, or training to access your own records directly. Best of luck on your journey to self-discovery.
