Without further ado, Let’s dive in and discover what the Akashic Records are all about.

What Are Akashic Records?

The Akashic Records are often described as a vast library, hall of records or cosmic database. We liken them to God, Goddess, the universe’s supercomputer with infinite storage and data processing power. No matter the description, the Akashic Records hold the energetic imprint of every soul's journey, encompassing past, present, and the possibilities of potential future events. This concept, rooted in the Sanskrit word "Akasha," meaning sky, space, or ether, refers to a space of divine consciousness where all information is stored. Think of it as the universe's database, a spiritual Google that contains the collective knowledge and experiences of all souls.

The Akashic Records are a compendium of the journey of souls for every soul in the universe. This information is stored for learning purposes, we live in a growth based universe and evolution happens through experiential knowledge. Within the Akashic Records is the totality of physical incarnations as well as a soul's life between lives time in a light body while in Spirit. This expansive repository includes not just human experiences but also the records of every sentient being, from animals to planets. It’s a reflection of the interconnectedness of all life, capturing the essence of our thoughts, actions, and even unmade decisions.

Akashic Records And Religion

The Akashic Records are not confined to any single religious tradition or even require a religious devotion or affiliation. Within various religions the records go back multiple millennia predating modern history. The following examples of religious connections highlight the universal nature of the Akashic Records. Where they are truly transcending cultural and spiritual boundaries to offer wisdom and understanding to all who seek it. 

In Christianity, they are often equated with the Book of Life, a divine record mentioned in the Bible. They are also referred to as God’s Book of Remembrance. The concept of the Book of Life and God’s Book of Remembrance appears in several passages throughout the bible. What is unique to Christianity is the idea of judgment based on a soul’s history and they have one life to create this history. In our research, every soul has had multiple human lifetimes with the majority of our clients having had over 150 lifetimes. The one rock steady thing about souls in the Akashic Records, is that life is always about learning and growing into a more well rounded or wholesome soul through experiences. And the soul is given as many lives and opportunities to continue its growth as long as there is a willingness to evolve.

We’ve never come across anything in the Akashic Records equating to a Divine judgment. We have found that souls will sometimes decide upon a “timeout” and spend time with a Keeper of Neutrality soul. When a soul chooses this for itself, it is usually after a particularly challenging lifetime where a soul is deeply unsatisfied with their actions. Before incarnating again, this self reflection time is used to gain better understanding for how their actions came to be. Essentially a soul is needing time to forgive itself for their choices before coming back and beginning to work through their karma. When this happens with a soul, it does feel somewhat similar to a purgatory, but without the judgment afterwards.  

In Hinduism, the Akashic Records are referred to as the Cosmic Womb or the Kārya Brahman in coded form. Here in this space is the holding of the collective memory of the universe. The Akasha is seen as a fundamental element that permeates all of existence, much like space itself. This concept aligns with the belief that everything is interconnected and that the records of all thoughts and actions are preserved in the cosmic ether.

Buddhism describes the Akashic Records as the Ālaya Vijñāna, the storehouse consciousness that contains all past experiences and knowledge. This eighth consciousness is considered the repository of karmic seeds, which influence future experiences and rebirths. The Ālaya Vijñāna serves as a foundational element in understanding the continuity of consciousness and the accumulation of wisdom over lifetimes.

How Akashic Records Were Popularized In The West

The concept of the Akashic Records has its roots in ancient spiritual traditions. The term "Akasha" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning sky, space or ether. Theosophy, a spiritual movement popular in the 19th century, played a significant role in bringing the idea of the Akashic Records to the Western world. Helena Blavatsky, a prominent Theosophist, spoke of the Akasha as a divine cosmic substance that records all events. She perceived the records as that of indestructible tablets of astral light. 

Alfred Percy Sinnett, another key figure in Theosophy, coined the term “Records” with his notion of these records being permanent and accessible. His work, "Esoteric Buddhism," highlighted the Buddhist belief in the permanency of records within the Akasha. Between Blavatsky and Sinnet talking of indestructible and permanent records within the Akasha, one can see how modern understanding of the Akashic Records began to take shape.

Edgar Cayce, known as the "Sleeping Prophet," is one of the most famous figures associated with the Akashic Records. Born in Kentucky in 1877, Cayce was renowned for his ability to enter a trance-like state and access the Akashic Records to provide detailed readings for individuals. These Akashic readings covered a wide range of topics, from health diagnoses to spiritual guidance. The profound insights that he revealed were often later verified by medical professionals and researchers.

Cayce's work popularized the Akashic Records in the West, demonstrating their potential to offer life changing information and guidance. His legacy continues to inspire those seeking to explore the depths of their soul’s journey through the Akashic Records. The Association for Research and Enlightenment still serves today as a foundation to further Cayce’s legacy and teachings.

How To Access The Akashic Records

Accessing the Akashic Records requires a combination of intention, integrity, and a method. When we first began exploring the Akashic Records, we experimented with different methods to see what resonated best. The more we practiced, the more vivid and real these journeys became. This allowed us to make deeper connections and to access levels of wisdom and understanding with ease. The most crucial elements are your intention to access the records and maintaining integrity in your approach while there. The records respond to sincere, heartfelt requests and a genuine desire to seek knowledge and healing.

Intention is Needed to Access the Akashic Records

Your intention sets the direction for your journey and helps you align with your desired area within the Akashic Records. Think of the records as being similar to concepts such as wisdom or success with their varying definitions and ideas. Neither of these are tangible things you can touch. But everyone can agree that success and wisdom have a certain energy that can be tapped into. Similarly, the Akashic Records exist within their own vibrational frequencies. When you align with your chosen frequency through intention, you access this realm of universal knowledge. It's like tuning into a radio station, when you match the frequency the signals are connected effortlessly. 

Integrity is Vital to Access the Akashic Records

We always approach the Akashic Records with a heartfelt and clear desire of integrity, which helps in establishing a deep connection. Trying to access the Akashic Records without integrity will get you denied or create issues in obtaining accurate information. Researching in the records with integrity ensures that the information received is handled with respect and ethical consideration. Working with integrity means respecting the privacy of others' records and only accessing information that you have permission to explore. Researching anything about yourself and events you’re involved with from your perspective with others is absolutely within integrity. But trying to research the private events or details within someone else’s soul record without their permission will again create issues. 

Methods for Accessing the Akashic Records

With your intention and integrity in alignment, the next thing in accessing the frequency of the Akashic Records is the method you choose. Using an Akashic Record prayer or mantra is one of the most common approaches to accessing the records. This sequence of words method is designed to act as spiritual keys, unlocking the doors to this vast repository of knowledge. It is one of the fastest methods of access. All you need to do is recite or read the words of your chosen prayer while in an intentional state of mind.

Akashic Records meditation journeys are another effective method of accessing the records. At times one can unconsciously gain access during meditation, but often these are guided journeys. From a meditative state, individuals use their imagination and follow the inspiration of their guide to access the wisdom stored in the Akasha. Once in the records, your guide will ask questions on your behalf so you can obtain information from the answers you receive. They might ask for healing energy or make other suggestions that will help you in some way with an issue in your life. Whatever the experience is, hopefully you will feel your highest good was served and you were propelled toward self awareness. 

Visualization or using your other senses is another effective method for entering the Akashic Records. Either imagining or visualizing yourself in a serene, sacred environment can set the stage for accessing the Akashic Records. In the beginning, thinking of a library or a place of records can help your mind form a deep connection. Imagine yourself walking into a majestic hall filled with golden light, where every book holds a unique journey of souls. Ask to open your soul record and begin asking questions to receive guidance. Once you’re comfortable, play around with the visualizations and your senses to find what works best for you. In the end it’s completely up to you, experiencing the Akashic Records is unique to everyone. 

Keep in mind when accessing the Akashic Records you're hanging out within a Divine source of energy and knowledge. For us this always feels deeply personal and profoundly spiritual too. Remember to approach this process with a pure heart and clear intention. And ensure that your integrity aligns with seeking personal knowledge and healing. Your intuitive gifts play a significant role in how you perceive and interpret the information. Trust in your abilities and with practice, you will become skilled at navigating this vast cosmic database.

Experiencing Soul Energy In The Akashic Records

Our journeys into the Akashic Records have been both transformational and enlightening when it comes to encountering a soul’s energy. These experiences are not just about retrieving information but about understanding the truth of that soul's core essence through our senses. We’ve encountered a myriad of soul energies during our Akashic readings, each unique in its vibration and story. 

For instance, we once accessed the records of a Mintakan soul,  the experience was pure unconditional love. This Mintakan energy felt like being wrapped in a warm, loving embrace, radiating pure light and joy. It was as if we were swimming in a sea of love, and it left us feeling profoundly connected and uplifted.

In another experience, we felt the calm, balanced energy of a Hadarian soul, embodying pure Zen. This experience was like being on a tranquil beach, with gentle waves lapping at the shore and a soft breeze rustling through the palm trees. The Hadarian energy was incredibly soothing and brought a deep sense of inner peace. 

During Akashic readings for Vegan souls we experienced the fun loving, goofy energy of those souls from the constellation Lyra. We completely basked in their energy of giggles and kindness. There’s a mover and shaker, gotta get things done vibe when reading for Pleiadian souls. Their energy moves quickly and stays in the flux of “let’s go, what’s next”.  Spican souls radiate the energy of enlightenment. This understanding of spiritual higher perspectives feels a bit like “don’t worry, everything’s connected, all of creation is rooting for you, everything is gonna work out, you are so loved”.

Akashic Records And Personal Healing

One of the most significant benefits of accessing the Akashic Records is the potential for healing. We could and most assuredly will write an article just on the topic of healing in the Akashic Records because the subject is so vast! We’ll touch on some of the important basics to keep in mind here as part of this post for now. 

Almost all of the root causes for the things in our lives that need healing come from our past, linearly speaking. This could be: past life hangover energy, early childhood trauma, relational trauma, soul contracts, karmic complexes and passed down ancestral energy. The one thing in common is that a part of us (our consciousness) having experienced the event or trauma is holding on because there hasn’t been resolution or healing. These are our root causes for limited beliefs, chronic issues, low self worth, self hatred and/or a myriad of other potential shadow self imagery.

Whether working within the records or in another way, with or without a guide, true healing comes from shifting oneself. Ultimately what happens is up to the individual’s ability to work with their shadows and balance the energy within themselves. Make no mistake, healing in the Akashic Records often closely resembles shadow work. If there’s a will to do so, it is amazing what can happen when one has a direct line to Divine Source energy and a willingness to face their own past.

We can address and release deep-seated issues from traumatic events, soul contracts and karmic complexes. Healing these things within the Akashic Records effectively rewrites your soul’s record and can manifest in various ways. One could experience subconscious reprogramming, releasing long held emotional scars or have healthy physical changes benefitting their life. Healing and balancing the energy within oneself leads to an overall greater clarity and alignment with one's soul purpose. And that goal is always a function behind the reasons for incarnating in the first place.

Practical Applications Of The Akashic Records

The usefulness of the Akashic Records is limitless. We just covered the basics of what a healing session could help with. For us, compiling Soul Journey Akashic readings for our clients is another major aspect of how we spend our time. This soul energy research involves exploring the deeper aspects of one's soul journey. This includes investigating past life experiences. As well as what a soul learns while in a light body during its life between human lives. This type of research uncovers a soul's origin for personality traits. It discovers the unique gifts and strengths of the soul. And dives into the obstacles and challenges of the life lessons of the soul’s choosing. These Akashic readings provide a broader perspective on one's spiritual journey and can offer valuable insights for personal growth and development.

Beyond personal healing and soul energy research, the Akashic Records can provide practical insights for other various aspects of life. For instance, business owners can access the records to gain clarity on strategic decisions, understand team dynamics and align their business with higher purposes. Artists, musicians and other gifted individuals can access the records to overcome creative blocks and tap into their soul’s inspiration. The Akashic Records can also help individuals navigate major life transitions. Whether it's a career change, a move to a new city or starting a new relationship, the records can offer guidance and reassurance. Understanding their soul's purpose and the lessons to be learned can validate one’s life experiences. All of this can help individuals make more informed decisions that align with their highest good.

Spiritual Growth And Intuitive Development

The Akashic Records are not just a tool for healing and guidance but also a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth. By regularly accessing the records, individuals can deepen their connection to their higher self and the Divine. Sometimes we just go to the records to “be here now” and meditate in the Akasha for no other reason than it feels wonderful. Our personal journeys in the Akashic Records have fostered a greater sense of purpose, inner peace, and spiritual fulfillment within us. Having a deeper bond with the creative forces of the universe is something that no one can take away.

Another wonderful aspect of spending so much time in the records is intuitive development. As you become more attuned to the subtle energies of the Akashic Records, your intuition sharpens. This makes it easier to receive and interpret divine guidance in everyday life. Just accessing the frequencies of the Akashic Records in and of itself is an intuitive journey. Intuition is also one of the main ways our soul communicates with us. So spending time with your soul’s energy will lead to enhanced intuition. All of this heightened intuition can lead to more synchronicities and a stronger sense of alignment with the universe.

How Soul Energy Is Recorded In Akashic Records

How do the Akashic Records work? You might be wondering how the Akashic Records or Book of Life records every thought, action, and intention. While you could just accept that the Divine, God, Goddess, the Universe is omnipresent and omniscient and walk away, leaving it at that. We’d like to explore a more scientific yet still spiritual approach to answer how the Akashic Records work. The explanation lies in the nature of Akasha itself. Remembering from earlier, the term "Akasha" means space, sky or ether in Sanskrit. It represents the unseen substance that permeates and connects all things in the universe. In our physical world, there is a dichotomy between matter and the akasha. One cannot exist without the other, the space around all matter gives definition to where matter begins and ends. If there was no matter, there would be only infinite space without differentiation and seemingly nothing would exist to perceive.

In the beginning everything was created from the same Divine origin source, whether you think of it as a Big Bang or a divine creative force. This means all physical matter, including us, is part of the Divine. Everything is made of atoms and molecules, and thus, everything contains divine Akasha. At an atomic and subatomic level, all matter contains space. Everything is just energy vibrating at different frequencies. Some we perceive as solid, like what we think of as physical matter, but our emotions, thoughts and words are energy too. Because everything is energy, it's just vibrations. It's electrical signals. It's all happening within the Akasha, within space. Our physical bodies, seemingly solid, are composed of atoms with vast spaces between their components. This space, or Akasha, exists within and around us, enabling the recording of every vibrational interaction.

Every thought we have generates an electrical signal that travels through our brain's neural pathways. These signals interact with akasha as they travel in between our synapses where there is a small gap of space for our neurons to fire. Our emotions are vibrations moving at specific frequencies, resonating through the Akasha within our heart centers. Every word we speak is a literal vibratory frequency coming out of our larynx. Physical action we take sends ripples through this cosmic ether, leaving a lasting mark. At its core, action is matter moving through the space around it and thus interacting with akasha. 

This interaction with the Akasha is not limited to humans. All sentient beings, from animals to insects, have their own records. Even places, objects, and events have their unique vibrational imprints recorded in the Akashic Records. We often describe this process as the universe's way of keeping a record of the truth. Recording everything that ever was, is, and could possibly be. The Akasha acts as the medium through which this information is stored and accessed, ensuring that nothing is ever lost. It’s like every moment of your life is written in invisible ink in the fabric of space-time, accessible to those who know how to read it. This understanding bridges the gap between spirituality and science, showing how interconnected all aspects of existence are.
