What’s the Akashic Records Good For, Anyway?

How the Akashic Records Changed My Life

---

When I had my first Akashic Records reading, my life was in shambles. Truly. It had already been falling apart already for quite a while. I had broken up with my ex boyfriend, I was emotionally, mentally, and physically drained, I wanted to give up on life and to top it all off, I ended up homeless. It was terrible. I was in a very deep and harsh cycle of self-sabotage and each time I was able to peek my head above water, I was inevitably drowned. I had already been in therapy for two years, but the progress hadn’t been enough at that point to rescue me from my own misery. I needed a way out, but I didn’t know where to look. Then…I found the Akashic Records.

This is my personal story of how working with the Akashic Records from my very first reading to becoming a Full Time Akashic Records Practitioner changed my entire life (and still is). If you would like to jumpstart your spiritual journey in a way that is completely unlike any other you’ve experienced, I offer Akashic Records Readings Here. In the meantime, here’s the story. You’ll want to read it all because the amount of changes I’ve gone through over the years are immense.

My First Akashic Encounter

In June of 2019, I was able to save up enough money to buy a spiritual service that would forever transform the trajectory of my entire life. I was on Twitter and I saw a tweet about the “Akashic Records.” I don’t remember what the original tweet was about but, up until that point, I had heard very, very little about the Akashic Records. Still, it had sparked a deep curiosity in me. I had a strong desire to know more. I saved up money from my job as a server and got my very first reading. At this point, I was not new to spirituality and receiving consultations — I had gotten an astrology reading, a face reading, and a few tarot readings before, but this one was quite different than any of those.

The Akashic Records is a database located in the heart space of a person. The Akashic Records keeps an active record of life — your’s and everyone else’s — experiences through lifetimes of existence. It sounds like a lot, and it is. But somehow, I would soon learn, each session would give the exact amount of information you needed to know at the time. And at that time, I needed anything that would help. I was willing to try even if I was a bit skeptical. So I set up my appointment to get my reading.

It was a video call on Instagram— before Zoom had become popular. My practitioner led me through the standard grounding exercise before connecting us to my own Akashic Records — or rather, she attempted to. What actually happened was I was essentially rejected from receiving a reading.

“You can be rejected from the Akashic Records?”

I didn’t know it was possible, but I was. I still remember it vividly. Through my practitioner, the Akashic Records told me that I had an issue with faith. And even though I had been opening myself up to spirituality, my heart was closed off from receiving their message. They couldn’t connect to me because energetically, I was rejecting them. They told me I was allowing my soul to suffer — that I was purposefully putting myself in danger, creating scenarios that would not only serve to damage me physically, but also emotionally and mentally. And to be quite honest, they were completely right.

I was a chronic self-sabotager. I hadn’t always been that way, though. Growing up, I was always a smart kid. I got straight As, I had friends. I graduated top 10 of my class. But there was also always an undercurrent of instability: I had moved to 13 different schools, I had been evicted out of many homes, there was abuse in the home — emotional and sexual. There was discord in all of my closest relationships. But from the outside, I had been popular. I was a performer, even if I was a bit shy. I always made lots of friends, even when I wouldn’t see them again after that year.

So when I graduated and got to separate myself from my disruptive home life, I sought to replicate that on my own. I had found safety in instability. I thrived in chaos. I identified with self-destruction. I was depressed. I missed so many college classes. I arrived late, I forgot assignments, I severely procrastinated. I befriended people who did not care about me, I shunned people I was supposed to care about. I was a whirlwind of destruction that lasted for half a decade. So when the Akashic Records rejected me from my reading and told me it was because I sought discord in my life, I was struck by the succinct and detailed accuracy.

Before they ended the reading, the Records gave me advice that would change my world. They told me to seek stillness because I had been in a pattern of taking on too much to distract myself from what my soul wanted from me — in this, I was causing my own suffering. And as a parting gift, they energetically washed me with a light that helped to connect me back to a source of peace. Up until that point, I didn’t realize that I was in pain. But I had been for so very long. They told me that that energy of peace was what I should strive to feel, that I should allow it to be my compass. Then, they invited me back to get another reading once I was able to seek stillness for myself.

Seeking Stillness

At that point, I had been homeless — couch hopping with friends and family and living in my car. That week, I searched for stillness and I found it online by way of a silent meditation retreat in the southern part of Georgia. It was to last 10 days, it was free, and it focused on Vipassana meditation. That September, I attended the retreat and over 10 days, I mastered the art of stillness. It was rough: I couldn’t talk to distract myself and I had to train my body to be comfortable with sitting completely still. My body was aching, I was bored, I was exhausted, but I dedicated myself to it. After all, I had always been a great student. When it was over, I was proud at what I had accomplished. I had done over 80 hours of meditation in the span of ten days. I felt like a meditation master. I was so calm. My sacral energy was bursting within me. I felt powerful. This isn’t to say that my life was completely fixed — I had a bit more to go, but I started working toward a goal because I could finally hear exactly what it was that my soul wanted for me.

During that retreat, I met a woman who allowed me to stay in Miami with her for a week! I had never met her before, but thanks to her kindness, I experienced a private plane ride for the first time and had made new friends! By the time I was back home (safely), I was able to take the steps necessary to get a place to live. By November, I was moving into a new apartment.

The Akashic Records advised me to seek stillness and in following that advice, I was able to listen to myself, what my soul truly wanted. I began the stages of shedding the patterns of seeking chaos so that I could maintain my new state of peace. I began to crave, need, thrive in stillness. Over the next year, with the help of the Akashic Records, I established my Astrology business. So when the Pandemic hit in 2020, I was fortunate enough to be building a thriving spiritual business. I wrote an article about astrology that went insanely viral and it brought in so much business that I was able to sustain and support myself.

From Seeking Stillness to Creating Expansion to Discovering Fear

The year after that (as I continued with my practice of meditating for 1–2 hours a day) — once I took a course to access my own Akashic Records — I started taking off. I started making short poetry films — (remember when I said I was a performer? I perform poetry as well). The films became my way of transmuting the emotional turmoil I had been experiencing for so long. I had taken a reiki course to become a Reiki Master, I had started writing poetry again, I had even started a TikTok, sharing my poetry videos. One of which went viral in 2021, pushing me to finish writing my very first book of poetry: lovely, deadly, black.

But all was not perfect just yet. Because while the Akashic Records helped to shift my perspective and also helped me to accomplish things I never would have otherwise (and I truly mean this statement), I was still working through some heavy self-sabotaging habits. The Akashic Records won’t solve your problems for you, but they will highlight where you need development to solve it yourself. At that time, I had a fear of being seen. So when things started taking off for me — going viral, increase in orders, sudden visibility — I hid. I became so overwhelmed, I couldn’t keep up. I closed my entire business down and ghosted for about a year. It was hard, it was painful.

And while I took a break spiritually, creatively, I kept going. With the Akashic’s help, I made more poetic short films. I wrote and published another poetry book: returning home. At the end of 2022, I entered a short film contest, and by the beginning of January 2023, I was being interviewed for winning it! I hadn’t been completely defeated yet. Again, I thrived in adversity, I knew how to be good against all odds. So I eventually started my business back over, even though the popularity and traffic had long since waned. It seemed like almost everyone was an astrologer, but that didn’t deter me. Instead, I expanded my business.

Learning to Take the Leap

The next step in my spiritual journey was becoming a full Akashic Records Practitioner. This would take me out of simple personal access and allow me to offer readings to others. I took this step in 2023, a year after coming back to astrology and feeling as if I was finally ready to spread my wings. I went through the period of training, giving free readings, slowly learning how to feel confident in the new practice.

When I was ready — in addition to learning to channel for others— my class was taught how to perform Akashic Clearings. A General Akashic Session usually consists of a client asking questions and the practitioner channeling information directly. Clearings are a bit more energetically involved, as they consist of identifying a karmic pattern that a client could be struggling with, and removing it, before replacing it with an agreement that is in better alignment.

Karmic Lesson Clearing

When we learned this skill, we were taught to practice on ourselves first. So when I did my very first Akashic Clearing, I did it on myself and I learned something so valuable, it would put my entire life into perspective. A Karmic Lesson is essentially a pattern or cycle that has been recurring in your life. You can think of it as being an overarching theme that can hinder you until you learn to work through it. An example of this would be having a karmic pattern of experiencing financial instability.

When getting a Karmic pattern cleared, if the client doesn’t know what should be cleared, the Akashic Records will suggest something that is the most advantageous to clear. For my first clearing, they suggested I clear the agreement of learning through lack and abuse. In my self-conducted session, I learned that this agreement influenced my ability to be seen. The Akashic Records told me that I cowered because in a past life, I had been severely punished for standing out. And if you’ve read everything up until now, you’ll see how the dots connect, just as I started to realize it when I conducted my clearing. My entire life, I had learned through lack and abuse. The simple fact of me thriving through adversity, chaos, self-destruction was a testament to that. My pull toward abusive relationships, dangerous circumstances was proof of that. I had been in a constant loop of learning through abusive experiences.

Learning Through Lack & Abuse

Let me explain it a bit more. My first job out of college was at a Japanese restaurant. My experience there was horrendous. I was subjected to racist and abusive behavior by hands of coworkers and managers. But I had stayed there for three years, believing I couldn’t find better. When I evventually left there, I found an Italian restaurant, where the owner was also racist and would berate me in front of customers. When I also left there, I found an Indian restaurant, where the customers would be insulting and rude (this was the job I had when I got my first Akashic Reading in 2019— I quit soon after.)

I had been in a string of damaging, emotionally abusive relationships that left me feeling stripped and bare until I finally decided to stop dating altogether in 2019. I would go through phases of having everything — material, financial, etc to then be back at square one, having to fight my way back up. I went through major upheavals that were never ending.

So when I was told I had an agreement of learning through lack and abuse, so much of my life clicked into perspective. And it didn’t stop there. Once I had a full grasp over what the Records was communicating to me, I finished the Clearing, replacing the agreement with a new, more aligned agreement. When an agreement is cleared, it is completely wiped away, making it so that the client can no longer vibrate at the same frequency they were at when the agreement was made. Because the clearing is so impactful, there is a period of time it takes for the client to go from their previous vibration to the new one. That is the integration period. During every Clearing, the Records would tell the client what they can expect for the integration period.

Integrating a New Vibration

For me, it would take a period of four months to fully integrate the new agreement and during that four months, I was told I would experience “Integration Symptoms.” Integration symptoms are essentially the feelings, sensations, or experiences that surface during the integration period. They are a result of the shifting of vibration. When the Records told me about my integration period, they said an integration symptom I would likely experience was “increased attention — both good and bad.” This was one of many symptoms they told me, but remember how I said I cowered from the spotlight? Well, I was about to figure out just how impactful the clearing really was.

The next month after the clearing, I went on a cruise with my family. Every night os the cruise they had a segment for karaoke. I had always had a love for karaoke, but I never really liked my voice. I was in chorus for many years and I even had people tell me I sounded nice, but I was always very self-conscious of myself. Still, I decided I was on vacation, so I should have as much fun as possible — regardless of how uncomfortable I may have been (the first sign of my energy shifting). The first night at karaoke, I sung my song and I went dancing at the boat’s night club. The next day, I felt like I was a celebrity.

Increased Attention: The Good

Suddenly, people all around the boat were calling out to me, saying how good I was at singing! I was so very surprised because I was not used to this. I didn’t even think I was doing anything special, I was just singing and I had a good time. Throughout the rest of the vacation, I would find myself being greeted excitedly by strangers. People would come to see me perform, even though some nights, I was terrible! It was such a funny experience. Everywhere I went, I was being recognized and complimented. I joined some boat activities and regularly won them! I even had people in the crowd calling my name out, routing for me to win!

When we docked on the Islands, the attention didn’t stop on the boat. It was as if I drew people’s eye with my presence. The Bahamian locals greeted me with delight, complimenting me. It was so immense, even my family thought it was surprising. My brother would recount our trip, telling people I was treated like a celebrity. I felt like a princess. When I would go dancing at the club, I groups of people would dance with me and I would be the last one on the dancefloor every night. I completely allowed myself to be free and I didn’t think twice about it. Again, the Akashic Records was right.

Increased Attention: The Bad

The Records said I would experience increased attention: both positive and negative….and I would soon find out exactly what that meant on the cruise. While I was having a fun time being praised for my singing, I was also being stalked by a very creepy older man. Our first encounter, he bulldozed through my family just to get uncomfortably close and stare in my face to say hi to me. Then, he would follow me around the boat when I would go dancing at night. It got to a point where after I rejected his advances, he asked a woman who came with him to approach me and interrogate me. One night while dancing, she approached me and danced me into a corner.

She proceeded to ask me about my age, where I was from, etc. This seemed to be normal, but she wouldn’t leave me alone when I would try to move away from her. She followed me around the dance floor. And when she eventually left, I saw that she went to the guy I rejected, before coming back to the dance floor to stare at me as I danced. That night, a security woman noticed and escorted me back to my room. other nights, he would leave the dance club and because I would dance literally all night, he would come back to check to see if I was alone. It was all very weird and uncomfortable, but it was exactly what they said I would experience during integration. So once the period was over, I was somewhat relieved.

A New Self-Perception

Once my integration period was over, I felt like a new version of myself. The most interesting part about Clearings is that if you pay attention, you start to see how your actions become drastically different. You stop going after the things you were once attracted to. I stopped wanting to get involved with people who I knew were harmful for me. I have no desire to be with anyone out of desperation to be loved. Now, my words go viral and I no longer feel uncomfortable about it. I also no longer crave it. The increase in attention no longer feels like something that chains me.

I enjoy my peace. I seek my peace. I maintain my peace. I have a stronger sense of self and I no longer seek lack and abuse. I feel much more comfortable with myself. But of course, my Akashic Journey didn’t stop there. There was still so much in me to unravel and address.

Akashic Healings

My next step was doing major healings on myself. As a practitioner, the Records themselves can teach you certain methods to expand your services. I was taught how to conduct Akashic Healing Sessions. An Akashic Healing is when a wounding is present that is informing the client’s decision making. The wound is targeted and healed so that the client can feel like their life is their own. So because I have an unending need to be better, I started doing healings on myself — on my father wounding and my mother wounding.

Healing the Father Wounding

There was one day where I felt so full of shame and guilt at what my life had become up until that point. It was as if I was living in my mistakes, allowing them to replay themselves on loop in my mind — blaming myself for my abuse. One day, I was connected to my Akashic Records when the deep feelings of shameful regret welled up inside me. They spoke to me, asking me if I would be okay with doing an Akashic Healing on my Father wounding, as for me, it was tied to my feelings of shame I was experiencing. I had every right and opportunity to say no. I would not have been punished, I would simply be allowed to continue to feel the way I had been.

The Records wanted to heal my father woundings that resulted from 1. the sexual trauma inflicted onto me by the hands of my step father, and 2: the emotional trauma of having a semi-absent biological father. The first wounding was the reason I had been carrying so much shame. At first, I didn’t want to heal it, as my traumatized mind felt like I deserved to continue to feel shameful. Eventually, I agreed and they conducted the first healing on me.

Immediately after, I decided to heal the wounding that resulted from my relationship with my biological father. While I’m sure he tried his best, his inconsistency in my life led to many experiences of feeling unworthy, feeling as if I couldn’t take care of myself, feeling directionless, and also informed my attachment to men who did not fully care about me. After healing the first wounding, I was less apprehensive about healing the 2nd. Like Clearings, Healings also have an integration process. My most prominent symptom I experienced during both Healings’ Integration Periods was emotional upheaval.

Healing my father woundings was an intense experience. It was as if the emotion of life slowly piled up around me until I could no longer breathe. Up until that point, I truly felt like I was already healing. I thought I had handled my issues. I thought it was over. But the integration period exposed so much more wounding that lied beneath the surface. I was working through it all, though I felt as if I was barely holding it together. Then one day toward the end of my integration period— the whole day — I was suddenly sobbing uncontrollably. Everything was making me cry. Everything was hurting my feelings. I was crying quite literally the entire day.

I was thinking about my life — how so often I felt unsupported, uncared for, how it felt like I couldn’t take care of myself at certain stages in my life, how I had a pattern of attracting unsupportive men, how my reliance on men had blown up in my face more times than I could count, how it felt as if I could never find solid ground. All those feelings came bubbling up during my integration period for healing my father woundings. I cried the most I had ever cried. I wept until I had no tears left. And the very next day, it was as if I was a brand new person. My tear-maggedon was months ago, and since then, I still have not felt the need to cry. But also, the shame and feelings of unworthiness that resulted from either paternal parent was gone. I took my power back from my predatory former stepfather. The inconsistency from my biological father was no longer a source of pain for me.

Healing the Mother Wounding

Healing my mother wound was much easier. This was because over the years, my mother and I had always been in some sort of trying and falling apart with each other. We were close when I was a child, but when I grew up and realized the depth of the emotional trauma I held in our relationship, I was more active in trying to remedy it by ceasing connection, reconnecting, trying and failing over and over again. So when I performed a healing on myself officially, it didn’t feel any worse than what I had already experienced in our sometimes tumultuous relationship.

Actually, healing my mother wound resulted in a great surprise: it wasn’t as daunting as I thought it would be and it involved a considerably less amount of tears. It even resulted in me cooking and celebrating Mother’s Day with her this year — something I hadn’t done since high school. Somehow my connection to the Records continued to deliver and change my life and strikingly drastic ways.

Housing Instability

And if that isn’t enough for the amount of changes the Akashic Records has brought into my life since the introduction— trust me, I could write a novel — I want to talk about another Clearing I had recently that I have not yet seen the results of.

In one Akashic Session, I asked about my pattern of never being able to have stable housing — I asked why I was homeless and how could I make sure it doesn’t happen again. The Akashic Records told me that energetically, I had a drill that was activated, destroying a foundation I built as soon as I had gotten stable. This led to me being involved in very unsafe housing situations where as soon as I felt comfortable, something happened that would take away that sense of safety. Hearing that suddenly sparked so many memories I had discarded as being unimportant.

I went to thirteen different schools before the age of 18. That meant that I was in different school zones, which equated to moving homes about once a year. I lived in many different houses. And being that my former stepfather was a predator, I was never safe. I remember waking up to hearing him breaking down a door to my mom’s room, smashing the phone to keep her from calling cops. I was fourteen then and I stood my barely 100 pound body in between him (a military officer) and my mother. A child protecting the parent. They would argue so much I would wake up with a headache. I would pray for them to divorce. They did eventually. But the discord on the homefront didn’t stop when they divorced. It continued. My Senior year, I had moved from Georgia to go to two different high schools, attending one in California — a state I had never visited beforehand — for a period of two months, before moving to Louisiana to finish up my schooling — yet another state I had never been to.

Somehow, I was able to stay on top of my class work, but the impact of not being able to form lasting, safe relationships permeated through my existence. Even more, my inability to attain and maintain lasting housing became more prominent. So when I became an adult, every time I accomplished some state of stability, something would occur that would destroy it. I went from living in a home, to being evicted, to being homeless, to couchsurfing.

One year I had a boyfriend live with me and it made my life a living hell, one year, I had racist roommates who stole from me, one year, I lived with a roommate that turned our home into an actual, dangerous trap house, and another year, I had been verbally assaulted by someone I should’ve been able to trust — making me feel unsafe in my home. There had been a pattern of my safety being threatened. Some years, I had savings, other years I did not. So my stability did not depend upon my financial status. Disruptions came from any and all angles. It wasn’t a matter of “you should’ve tried harder” or “you should’ve saved more”…I did. I did everything I could. But something the Records told me that I didn’t know I needed to hear was it wasn’t my fault. It wasn’t my fault.

So to address this Karmic Pattern, I conducted my own Akashic Clearing. They told me my integration process would include pain around my spine and feelings of anxiety. As always, they were right and every night as I went to sleep, I’d feel sudden rushes of panic, feeling as if my home would fall from beneath me. Thankfully, while the anxiety was intense, I felt the spinal pain for one day only. I finished the integration period up pretty recently, so the influence of it hasn’t fully been felt yet. But I know, with the track record the Akashic Records have proven in my life until now, I will soon be thriving in my stability.

The Takeaway

I have been a spiritual worker for four years and while I’ve dabbled in many different modalities to see which I was the most aligned with, none have felt as potent and pure as the Akashic Records. By simply deciding to connect with the energy, my life was set on a strong and clear path. And while my connection has not made my life perfect, I have been equipped with tools that feel real, honest, true and beneficial. If you’re still skeptical about the why of it all, I’ll simply just say: the Akasha is an energy you need to experience in order to fully believe. Once you do gain the experience, it is quite difficult to separate yourself from the truth of it. However, while it can be difficult, it can be done. I’ve seen many people who have gotten Akashic advice and decided not to use it. Guess what happened to them? Their life stayed exactly the same.

So I felt compelled to share my story because I felt it was important to fully explain just how much my life has changed since my very first contact with the Akashic Records back in 2019. It is now 2024 and I am still experiencing major changes. After witnessing and experiencing the pure amount of shifts I’ve gone through, while comprehending the reasons behind the shifts, I have become a true believer. The best part is that unlike many practices, the Akashic Records doesn’t ask for you to believe in anything. They don’t care whether or not you believe in their existence. Through your experience with them, their existence becomes undeniable, even if you don’t fully grasp the weight of their presence just yet. And while I’ve worked with them for quite a while, I am still in the very beginning of enjoying the life I’m creating with their help and guidance.
