Interest in the Akashic Records has surged in recent years as increasing numbers of people want to know how and why things happen, and how to heal and empower themselves independently or from the inside out. The insight contained in your Akashic Record can help you do all that and infinitely more.
Rather like a cosmic compass, your Record can provide guidance at exactly the time you need it. This is because it is not just a passive memory bank recording the energetic or spiritual counterpart of your every thought, feeling, word and action — it also has a transformative influence on your daily life. Viewing it can show you how, in life, like-energy seeks like-energy. How the energy of your current thoughts, intentions, feelings and actions are always creating your present and attracting a potential future.
In the past, accessing the Akashic Records was believed to be a gift reserved for saints, scholars, mystics and psychics, but this is no longer the case. Due to changing times, more and more individuals have become attuned to the existence of their inner world, meaning they can confidently access their Records without an intermediary.
What Are The Akashic Records?
The word Akashic originates from the Sanskrit word, Akasha (Sanskrit is the language of Hinduism). It has a range of meanings, including “ether” – the most well-known – as well as “empty space,” “heaven,” “source,” and “primary substance.” In the traditional Hindu system of medicine called Ayurveda, it is the fifth of five elements believed to be the building blocks of the cosmos and your individual existence: earth, fire, water, air and, last but by no means least, ether, or Akash.
Ether is said to be the most vital element because it is the one from which the other four originate. It is “empty space” through which energy and sound travel without resistance and where everything connects. Vibration and sound are decisive, as it is thought the energetic vibrations of intentions, thoughts and words — and of actions that validate them — create your reality.
Your Akashic Record is encoded in this non-material, unseen dimension of existence, which is known as the etheric Akash plane. It is an endless energetic library — or storehouse, log or archive depending on the term you prefer — that records the energy vibration of your soul and its journey through life. Your past-life experiences and all that has led to your present identity are written in your Akashic Record, along with your potential futures, the possibilities waiting to be energized or changed by you.
Brimming with infinite knowing and all-seeing insight into your past, present and future, there you can find the answers to every question you’ve ever wanted to ask about yourself, life, the Universe and everyone and everything. You see, it is not just personal insight you can access in the Akashic Records, as it also contains knowledge of the entirety of the human experience and, way beyond that, of other universes and dimensions.
In summary, the Akashic Records are a vibrating information field that record the energetic vibrations of your soul and every other soul across time. They span eternity and catalogue everything, from the wisdom of the ancients to discoveries yet to come.
In The Beginning, It Is Your Word
Over the years, I have learned that not only is everything in the Records, but there isn’t just one way to access them, and at different stages of my life I have accessed them in different ways.
Some of this has been done unconsciously, but increasingly in recent years I have made a conscious decision to let Akashic energy and insight flow through me, using both my favored dreamwork pathway at night and my intuition by day.
Sometimes, during the day, simply saying the word “Akashic” out loud or in my thoughts before an important talk or task connects me to the Records at a deep energetic level. Speaking or thinking the word reassures me that my Records are always there for me. I can receive beautiful clarity, answers and inspiration any time I want to dive deep into them.
My Akashic Record work has been and continues to be utterly life-changing, and can change all aspects of your life for the better too. Indeed, the transformative work has already begun. Just reading the word Akashic over and over here is already awakening your mind, heart and soul on multiple levels.
Back To Your Future
Your Akashic Record may initially reveal your present rather than your past, revealing your current behavior and thought patterns, so you can better understand the positive or negative energy they are imprinting on your Records and the implications of the current choices you are making. You can’t rewrite your present, as it is in flux, but moving forward you can resolve to change your behavior and mindset to raise your vibration and improve your life.
One thing is certain: if you are currently ruled by a negative mindset, this will be creating karma for your future. Viewing your present Records can offer you clarity on why this is happening and — more often than not — you’ll find that it is connected to feelings of not being worthy. Chances are, you are focusing the energy of your thoughts and feelings on what you don’t want to manifest, not on what you do. Not surprisingly, the energy of what you don’t want is therefore more likely to occur in the future.
Whenever you make changes in your present, your future Akashic Records will change too. They are showing you how your soul’s current energy is creating your future Records.
Acknowledging that everything you think, feel and do doesn’t only impact your present but also your future is a huge incentive to invest in a healthy dose of positive thinking and living, whatever life throws at you. And if you get to view a potential future that fills you with fear, remember the Records are there to inform, guide and heal you. They are showing you how your soul’s current energy is creating your future Records, but those future Records are ever-changing. The future you see is only a possibility and it is up to you to act on it or not.
For example, Edgar Cayce was shown a future in which he had health problems due to the stress of doing too many Akashic readings for others. If he had heeded that warning and slowed down, he may not have died a year later.
Whenever you make changes in your present, your future Akashic Records will change too. You may start to see happier outcomes, but if this doesn’t happen immediately, just give yourself time. Change does not happen overnight and can sometimes take a while to imprint itself on your Records. You can help positive change along by consciously visualizing or writing down a future where you see yourself thriving. And the great thing about that future is you can revisit it at any time and add more and more details, to ensure it is the positive future you deserve. Every time you do this, you strengthen its energy vibration and permanent presence in your future Records.
Here is another empowering thought: your present self is at some point going to become the past for your future self to view. Now you understand the energetic consequences of your present thoughts and actions on your future self, you have every reason to make a conscious decision to choose honesty, positivity, compassion, joy and unconditional love for yourself and others in this present moment. Plus, studies show that when people believe they are being observed their performance improves. It is called the Observer Effect. Well, you are being observed all the time by your future self, so it’s always the right time to impress yourself.
