Preface:HowIFoundtheAkashic

Records

I did not have a near-death experience. It’s more like I hovered near death

spiritually for a period of years. The situation was grim—and I couldn’t

understandwhy.Ihad done everything right: hadbeenagood girl, gone to

college,studiedhard,gottengoodgrades.Ihadagoodjob,aniceapartment.

Ihadwhatlookedlikeafinelife;IhadeverythingIthoughtIwanted...and

Iwasmiserable.ThroughsheereffortIhadbeenabletoachievewhatIhad

setouttodo,butallmyaccomplishmentscouldn’tquietthescreamechoing

upfromacanyoninmysoul.

No matter how I tried, I could never be “good enough”; my efforts just

weren’t cutting it. Sometimes I would simply give up and let myself be as

“bad” as I could tolerate—all to secure a feeling of “okay-ness,” safety, or

relaxation.Itwasn’tworking.

Finally, in desperation, I prayed: “God, if you’re there, you’ve got to help

me.Ican’ttakeitanymore.Help.Please.”

Withinsixweeksofthaturgentprayer,aremarkablethinghappened.Iwas

lying on my bed, feeling sorry for myself, and looking at a tree that had

grown its way up to my third-floor window. Again, I called out to God for

help:“Tellme—howcanmylifelooksogoodbutfeelsobad?”

Theneverythingstopped.Allthenoiseinsidemecametoahalt,andasense

of calm relief took its place. When I looked at the tree, I knew we were

connected—Icouldfeelit.Twenty-threeyearsold,raisedinthecity,andnot

onetospendmuchtimeinnature,Iwasstunnedbytheexperience.Forafew

momentsIclearlyfeltmyselfonewiththetreeandwitheveryotherthingI

could and could not see. The idea was immense, yet at the same time,

comforting. I knew that my life was not a fluke, and that there was a God.

Mostimportant,IknewthatthisGodlikedme.God’slovehadneverbeenan

issue;IalwaysknewthatGodlovedme.ButIhadneverbeensureheliked

me. In that miraculous moment, my fears were calmed and my questions

answered. The feeling of being known fully and loved absolutely (and

liked!)wasunmistakable.Theexperiencewassopowerfulandsoprofound,

andtherealityofitsooverwhelming,thatI’mstillgrowingintoittothisday

—nearlythirtyyearslater.

***

HavingbeenraisedCatholicintheMidwest,myinitialunderstandingofGod

wasasthe“beardedoldmaninthesky.”Feelingconnectedtothetreeblew

that idea apart for me. The God I encountered in that moment went far

beyondmyoldconcept.MynewandexpandedversionofGodwasasmore

of a force field than a person. This force field seemed to contain a host of

distinctqualitiesthatconvergedinthemoment—positive,energizingpower

mixedwithexquisitesensitivityandtendercompassionandkindness.There

wasaparadoxicalsenseoforderwithoutconstriction:anorderlymeetingof

exuberant joy, deep stillness, precise awareness, and reverence for the

moment—and an open, expansive inclusion of all that is, all that has ever

been,andallthatwilleverbe...occurringsimultaneously.

Now, this was a God worth knowing! For a while, it seemed that there

should be a better, more modern word to describe this power and its

presence.Ultimately,though,IdecidedthatthewordGodwasthebestterm

for me because it allows for this force field’s unknowable, mysterious

nature.

Sincetheepisodewiththetree,Ihavebeenblessedwithmanymomentsof

heightenedawareness.Butthatfirstconsciousexperienceofthepresenceof

God was the most riveting and transformational. In the blink of an eye,

everything changed— I changed—and yet everything appeared the same. I

knewthatwhateverthatexperiencehadbeen,Iwantedmoreofit.Iwanted

tolivemywholelifefromthatplaceofbeingsoknown, soseen,soloved,

andsoliked.Mysearchbegan.

MainstreamReligion

I took off on my spiritual path with passion and enthusiasm. I sought to

capture my initial experience and make it last, elongate it, duplicate it. My

desiretoexperienceagainthatsenseofLight,power,andpresencetookme

toanumberofplaces.First,Iwenttochurchesandtemples:afullrangeof

them, from Catholic Charismatic, where praying in tongues is the norm, to

Buddhisttemples,wherepeoplepracticemeditationanddetachment.Within

a short period of time, I recognized that all religions were and are

fundamentally good, and to this day I still participate in religious activities

when I am moved to do so. But the revelatory experience I’d had was not

there,norwasitbeingsought.Instead,Iencounteredlotsofrulesandlotsof

pressure to follow them. Men were in charge, and women served

refreshments: that was not for me—the politics got in the way. I was

strugglingtoacceptmyownsexualidentityatthetimeandwasfearfulthat

thereligiousauthoritieswouldsuspectthetruthandIwouldbebanished.It

wasclearthen:traditional religionwasnotthepaththatwould allowme to

mostdeeplyexperiencethepresenceofGodasIhadcometoknowit.

After my spiritual awakening, I felt so filled with God’s grace that I easily

let go of the habits, thoughts, and behaviors that had been standing in the

wayofmyspiritualdevelopment.Atthesametime,IwasgiventheenergyI

needed to develop new life patterns. My ridiculous partying fell away with

relativelylittleeffortonmypart.Ihadtriedtocleanupmyactbefore,butit

had been beyond my capabilities. Being touched in this way, however,

caused me to effortlessly move in a different direction. Anyone who has

experiencedthistypeofhealingknowsjusthowmysteriousandmiraculous

itis.Nohumaneffortcancompare.

Foraperiodoftime,perhapsaslongassixmonthsaftertheLightopenedup

insideme,Iwaswideopeninconsciousness.IfeltasifIhadenteredanew

dimension of living, and in fact, that was what had occurred. Everywhere I

went,Iwouldgeta“hit,”asenseofknowingthatwhateverIsawwasGod—

an expression of God—and that I was one with it. Standing in line at the

grocerystore,Iwouldquakeattherealizationthatallwhowerepresentwere

one.DrivingdownbeautifulLakeShoreDriveinChicago,Ieasilyaccepted

thateverythingIencounteredwasGodandthatIwasapartofit.Passingthe

CabriniGreenhousingprojectsjostledmyworldasthathitofawarenesstold

methatthis,too,wasthefaceofGodandthatIwasrelatedtoit.Ifeltabit

nutty, yet it was so much better than being stuck and miserable that Iwent

withit.

My mother was a godsend during that time. She has a strong mystical

awareness and is unafraid of spiritual reality. A progressive Catholic who

hasalwaysbeenwayaheadofhertime,shesupportedmefromherpointof

view, offering guidance and knowledge about the Mass, the mystery of the

Trinity,andtheScripture.Hersupportofmehasneverwavered,andforthis

Iam eternallygrateful.Still,even herradicalapproachtoa traditionalpath

wasnotmine.

ExploringNewAvenues

Having explored religion, I moved in the direction of self-help seminars. I

attendedtonsofthem,andIlovedthemall!Eachonebroughtmesomething

I needed: sometimes understanding, sometimes people, sometimes structure

andorganization.NomatterwhereIwent,Iwasblessedwithsomethingthat

supportedmygrowth.Someoftheworkshopswerepositive,validating,and

feel-good. Some were harsh, disturbing, and horribly uncomfortable. All of

them contributed to my expanding awareness. What was missing from this

pathway,however,wasrecognitionoflife’sspiritualdimension.

SoIcontinuedmyquest,accompaniedbycountlessfriendsandcomrades.I

hadtherapyandbodyworkofeveryvariety.Ihadallkindsofreadings—my

generationmadecelebritiesofspiritualreaders,soofcourseIfoundmyself

atthetableofmanyasoothsayer.AndaswithmostavenuesIexplored,my

experienceswereusuallywonderful.

WhenIwastwenty-eightIwentwithafriendtoaRenaissancefairwherea

tarot reader looked at my cards. That reading turned out to be a significant

event for me, not because of the details of what the reader told me but

becauseofhowIfeltwhenshewasfinished.AsIletthetruthofherwords

sinkin,Iexperiencedanamazingsenseofpersonalliberation.IfonlyIcould

offerthatsamefeelingtoothers!

Ileftthefairwiththenotionofmakingmylivingbydoingtarotreadings.At

thetime,itseemedridiculous.Tarotreadersandothersinvolvedinspiritual

divination all seemed so odd, so separate from mainstream life—almost

misfits. It was frightening to think that if I did “readings,” I too would

belongtothatsubculture. I had not yet reconciled within myself the notion

of being a regular person in the world who happened to do tarot readings.

No,atthattimeitwasaneither-orsituation—Icouldeithertravelinthereal

worldorliveontheoutskirts.

Ayearorsolater,anotherfriendsuggestedIhaveasessionwithawomanin

Texas who worked with the Akashic Records ... whatever those were. This

readerwasquitepopular,soImadeatelephoneappointment.Iwastoldshe

wouldbeabletotellmemysoul’spurpose,andIcertainlywantedtoknow

what it was. At the time, my financial situation and my work life were so

turbulent that I just couldn’t find a place to land. Every job I’d had during

that period offered something that I wanted, but on the whole they were

unsatisfying.Iwastrulybaffled.

Icalledattheappointedtime,andthewomanlaunchedintothereading.Her

mannerwas warm,butbetweenherthickaccentandthe newideasshewas

presenting,Iwasn’tquitesurewhatshewassayingtome.WhatIdidknow

was that I had that feeling again, that distinct sense of being known and

loved. The rest of the reading didn’t really matter, and the thought crossed

mymindthatIwouldlovetobeabletodowhatshewasdoing.

Lifekeptmovingforward.BythetimeIwasthirty,Ihadresolvedmanyof

mydifficultpersonalissues.ThroughGod’sinfiniteloveandstrength,Ihad

been relieved of a terrible eating disorder and had met a wonderful life

partner with whom I continue to share my journey. When Lisa and I first

met, she showed me how to read tarot cards. We spent countless hours

throwing the cards. Her friend Steven had taught her how to decipher the

tarot,andshesimplypassediton.Wehadablast,andforthenextcoupleof

years I read the cards at every opportunity. While I was away at graduate

school at the University of Illinois, I spent plenty of time developing my

skillsbydoingreadingsforcrazedgraduatestudents.

I returned to Chicago and worked a regular job in title insurance by day,

readingcardsforpeopleeverychanceIgot.Ihatedmyjob.Itriedtolikeit.

Itriedtomakeitwork.ItriedandItriedandItried...tonoavail.Ihadto

quit. I told myself that if I did, I would finish the Russian language

requirement for my graduate degree in Russian history. Too terrified to

admittomyselfthatIwasquittingtobeatarotcardreader,Iarmedmyself

with this socially acceptable justification for quitting a perfectly fine job,

andgavemynotice.ButtryingtolearnRussianfortheumpteenthtimewas

downright painful—fully as intolerable as my title-insurance job. After lots

of soul searching, and some wailing and gnashing of teeth, I took myself

down off my homemade cross and quit Russian. Three seconds of blessed

relief were mine before terror came to the fore. The moment of truth had

arrived: I admitted to myself that I wanted to do readings—for a living. I

wantedtobeaprofessionaltarotcardreader.

Torealizemydream,Icleanedhousesbydayandreadtarotcardsatcoffee

housesbynight.Itwassuchgreatfun!Afterawhile,Isetupanofficeinmy

home and my practice began to grow. Then an odd pattern began to take

shape. I started to see then—as I see today—that the people who were

comingtomeforreadingsweregenerallybrightandinsightful.Theywould

come in for their readings, and while we looked at their cards we would

“see”allkindsofthingsthatwouldhelpthemgainclarityandfigurethings

outin theirlives.We wouldcongratulateourselvesasI walkedthemto the

door—andthen,aboutsixto eight months later, theywouldreturnwiththe

exactsameissues.

Let me amend that: some people would return with the same issues. There

were actually two different groups. One group only needed to gain some

understanding to resolve their difficulties or move beyond their limitations.

Forthem,theproblemwasalackofknowledge,soknowledgealwayssolved

their problems. For the other group, though, the root of the problem was

something else. For them, knowledge did not necessarily translate into

power, and without the power they needed, the people in this group often

remainedstuck.Sobacktometheywouldcome,andwewouldlookattheir

cards again and repeat the same process. It was painful that these readings

neverseemedto“take,”andIfeltterrible.

Myprayersgrewdesperate:“God,therehastobeawayforpeopletoaccess

thepowertheyneedinordertosolvetheirproblems.Clearly,knowledgeis

notenough.It’sgreatasfarasitgoes,butitdoesn’tgofarenough.Help!...

AndP.S....thesolutioncan’tliewithdogmaorwithinstitutions,becauseas

agroup,thepeoplewhocometomedon’tlikethat.”

Bythistimeinmylife,IhadgrownaccustomedtoGod’sresponsivenessto

myheartfeltprayers,andIknewthattheanswerwouldarriveattheperfect

moment.Ihadnoideawhattheanswerwouldturnouttobe,yetIwasopen

toanyrealsolution.

ShamanicJourney

Notlongaftermyprayer,afriendinvitedmetoashamanicdrummingcircle.

Ididn’twanttogo;thethoughtofsittingbarefootinacirclewithabunchof

folksinpower-animalT-shirtsseemeddreadful,notempowering.However,

myfriendravedabout it, so I finally gave in. Picture it: here I am, reading

tarot cards for a living, and I’m afraid a shamanic drumming circle will be

tooweird.Ihadtolaughatmyself!

A woman named Pat Butti held the meeting. She had the longest-running,

most stable group in the area, so I felt pretty safe. She was great, the last

thing I expected—frosted hair, a fluffy dog, shag carpet on the floors.

Welcomewasintheair.Patbrieflyexplainedthejourneywewereaboutto

embark upon. I thought it sounded hokey, and I figured nothing would

happen for me, but I decided to be polite and participate to the best of my

ability.

Withinthefirstfewbeatsofthedrum,Iwasgone—offtoanotherdimension

thatwasasrealtomeastheclothesonmyback.Ifeltit:thepowertoeffect

change—no dogma; no institution; pure life force. “Okay, God,” I thought

whenI’demergedfrommytrance,“nowwhat?”

Within a few weeks, I was taking classes in classic core shamanism at the

Foundation for Shamanic Studies, where I had the great fortune of training

under Sandra Ingerman, the author of Soul Retrieval. My tarot practice

yielded,andIbeganto offer shamanic healings. Itwasamarvelouswayto

bringpowertopeopleinneed,toenablethemtorecovertheirlostlifeforce

forthemselves.ForthenextfiveyearsIworkedasashamanicpractitionerin

one-on-onesessionsandingroups.Itwaswonderful.

You may already have guessed what’s coming next—a path I’d found

fulfillingwasabouttocloseandanotherabouttoopen.

Oneday,asIwasleadingajourneycircleandcallingtothedirectionsasthe

leaderdoes—essentially,callingforallpersonspresenttogetwhattheyneed

—I heard myself calling out to God for protection and support. I was not

callingtothespiritsoftheEast,South,West,andNorth,aswasthecustom,

but to God. Now, it’s true that the directions and the animals—and all

naturalthings—areexpressionsofGod,butsomehow,withoutmeaningto,I

had left the shamanic structure. Then later, when I did a shamanic healing

practicewithsomeone,IheardmyselftellingGodthatthiswashischild,and

we needed him to take care of the situation. Finally, standing in another

drummingcircle,I looked down at my hands andsawthephysicalsignsof

whathad becomeanuncomfortablefit: Iwasone ofthewhitest whitegirls

inthecity!I’dbestleaveshamanismtoothers.

AkashicRecords

It was time to pray my prayer of desperation again. This time it went

something like: “God, there has to be a way to access both knowledge and

powerthatissimpleandeasy.Nostufftodragaround—maybejustaprayer.

Pleasehelp.”AndIdidnotdoubtthathelpwasontheway.

A few weeks later, I was on a panel presenting information about

shamanism.Anotherwomanwasthereto talk about the Akashic Records. I

wasn’tcompletelycertain what she was talking about—it was very esoteric

—buttherewassomethingalluringaboutit,soIdecidedtotakehertwo-day

Beginning Akashic Records class. In it, she taught us how to open the

Recordsbysayingaspecificprayer.WhenIfollowedherdirections—bam!I

felt a very distinct shift. And there it was, that sense again, the sense of

being known and loved. It was not as overwhelming as my original

experience,butIrecognizedit—andIfeltthatatlonglastIwashome.

Whatwasespeciallycompellingaboutthisnewexperiencewasthatitwasn’t

sensational. There were no spectacular phenomena: no talking in funny

voices, no eyes rolling up into the head—none of that. There was just a

simple,subtle,yetdiscernibleshiftwithinmethatenabledmetoaccessthe

dimensionofconsciousnessIhadbeenseeking.Overtheyears,thissenseof

love has proven to be reliably there for me. Anytime I wish to enter this

wonderfulstate,allIhavetodoissaytheprayer.

I began doing Akashic readings for my shamanic clients, and for the next

twoyearsIworkedwithbothsystems.Ididreadingsformyselfalmostdaily

andpracticedAkashicreadingsonanyonewhowouldletme.IfeltlikeIwas

being “taken” by the Light and moved in a different direction. Whether

reading for myself or someone else, I got that sense I had been striving to

find.Andtherewasmore:yearsofstudywerecomingtogetherforme.Ihad

exploredthe writings ofJoelS.GoldsmithandAlice Bailey, amongothers,

andasaresultIwasmentallypreparedforthenextstageofmyjourney.The

NewThoughtChurches,ReligiousScience,andUnity—alldoorsthatI had

opened previously—helped a great deal, too. Everything I had experienced

and learned supported me in my new realm. And everything continues to

supportme!

In 1995, Lisa and I moved to the Olympic Peninsula with our young son,

Michael,believingthatthiswouldbeourhomefortherestofourlives.We

loved it—spectacular beauty surrounded us in the quaint Victorian seaport

town of Port Townsend. There on the edge of the map in a town of seven

thousandpeople,mypracticeexpanded.Itwasaplacewherepeoplewentto

heal,somyworkwasembracedthere.Butadjustingtothemoveandraising

atoddlerwerestressfulforme.Ifeltblessedthatmyworkwasappreciated,

butmyclientlistwasquicklygrowingunmanageable.Ifoundmyselfseeing

somanypeoplefor consultations each week that this became stressful,too.

Finally,eventhoughIlovedit,doingsomuchofthisworktookitstoll,and

after a while I began to feel like I was falling into a thousand pieces.

Somethinghadtogive.Iturnedtoprayeroncemore:“God,pleasehelpme.

Showmewhattodohere.”

Then,arevelation.Isuddenlyunderstoodthatmanyofthepeoplewhocame

to me for Akashic Records consultations could be doing the work for

themselves; there was no obvious reason for them not to learn how to read

the Records on their own. Teaching people how to do the work for

themselvesandothersbecameaclearsolutiontomydilemma.Ifmyclients

could learn to access their own Records, they would be able to help

themselves develop their own spiritual authority. They could shift from

relyingonmetofollowingtheirownspiritualguidance,whichwouldenable

them to develop and mature. Then they could just come to me when they

were stuck or in need of some outside support to move them along in their

journey.Mygoalwasandalwayshasbeentoassistothersintheirquest—to

helpthemfindtheirownwayratherthanfindingitforthem(which,intruth,

Icannotdoanyway).Ihadneversoughttofosteranunnecessarydependence

uponme,andIwasrelievedtohavecomeuponthissolution.

Ibelieve that on aspiritual quest there are distances we musttravel on our

own,andourchallengeistolearnhowtodothat.Thenthereareothertimes

whenit’sbesttoseekthecounselofothers.Alongtheway,throughtrialand

error,welearnwhentogoitaloneandwhentogetassistance.Andwelearn

that,ultimately,weareheretohelponeanother.

So that was it: my prayer had been answered, and I had my solution.

Teaching my clients to read their own Akashic Records was a way to

empower them to be self-supporting. I’d then be free to focus on working

with others who needed assistance from someone else. At the same time, I

could delight in seeing my Akashic students grow into finding their own

spiritualauthority.Itwasperfect.And...itwouldhavetowait.

CertifiedtoTeach

Althoughmyinnerguidancewasencouragingmetomovetowardteaching,

thepowersthatbe—bothhumanandbeyondhuman—thoughtitbesttowait.

I am not one to wait patiently! But I waited, because I needed a teacher to

help me advance to the next level, to ground me in the practice solidly

enough that I could pass it along effectively. For another full year, I

continued doing consultations for others and juggling the rest of my life.

AnditwasduringthatyearthatImettheteacherIneeded.

Ihadalistofqualificationstherightteacherwouldhavetomeet,anditwas

veryspecificanddetailed.Iwantedsupport,guidance,andinstructionfrom

someone I admired, respected, and enjoyed. I also wanted someone with

whom I felt free to be honest and around whom I felt safe enough to be

vulnerable,yetwhorecognizedmystrongpointsaswell.Ideally,thisperson

wouldhaveeverythingIwantedandwouldbeabletoinstructme.Oneday,

MaryParkerarrived,andsheturnedouttobethatkindofteacherforme.

AssoonasImetMary,thewayforwardopenedup,andthingsquicklyfell

intoplace. Mary had receiveda“sacred prayer.” One ofthe ways in which

people have engaged the Akashic Records is through the use of “sacred

prayers.” These prayers have been given to individuals as their “access

codes,” which enable them to enter, experience, and exit the Records

successfully.Thissacredprayertraditionisbasedonthevibrationalpatterns

of specific words and phrases, which together establish a vibrational light-

grid—an energetic bridge—to a particular region of the Akashic Records.

Each prayer emits a soul-level signal that contacts and beckons individuals

who resonate with the prayer’s vibration. Since those individuals are

energeticallyrelatedtotheparticulartones,lights,andsoundsofthatprayer,

they can use it, if they so desire, to interface with the Records. Currently,

therearemanypeopleinactiverelationshipswiththeAkashicRecords,and

theyuseavarietyofsacredprayerswithwonderfulresults.

WhenMaryandImetonthephone,weimmediatelyrecognizedoneanother,

and I made arrangements for her to come to Port Townsend to teach a

Beginning Class. At least I assumed she would be doing the teaching—but

no. The week end arrived, more than thirty-five people assembled in the

communitycenter...andsheputmeinfrontoftheclass.

With Mary Parker’s blessing, I became certified to teach the Akashic

Records using her sacred prayer. People came; classes happened; and

through my own Records, advanced work was revealed to me. This time in

my life could not have been more exciting, demanding, or fabulous. Here

was a way to pass something on to others that would allow them to access

their own spiritual authority—a simple, nondramatic, reliable method to

support those who are called to this Light as a path of consciousness

development.

It has been particularly meaningful for me to teach people how to become

bothspirituallyindependentandDivine-reliantatthesametime.Iknowthat

there are times when we must seek the counsel of others. On the spiritual

path,weworkwiththedualityofdoingforourselvesandlettingothershelp

us. Knowing what to do when is a skill of spiritual maturity. Being riddled

withself-doubt,ontheotherhand,isamostuncomfortablewaytolive.I’ve

beenthere.DuringthattimewhenIwasconfusedandunsettled—whenIwas

onmywaytowardamoreauthenticspiritualcommitmentbutattimesdoing

things to avoid it—I was going outside of myself to as many readers and

witchdoctorsasIcouldfind.Iwasseeking,striving,longingforsomeoneto

tellmewhatmypurposewas,whatGodwantedmetodo,whattheUniverse

expectedfromme.Itwasawful.EssentiallyIwantedsomeoneelse,Divinely

inspiredornot,totell me whotobe and howtobein this life.Theideaof

discovering those things myself scared the daylights out of me. What if I

steeredmyselfwrong?Itwasaresponsibilityissue,really:ifIfollowedother

people’s advice and things didn’t work ... well, it would be their fault, not

mine.

PathwayPrayer

AstimepassedinPortTownsend,itbecameclearthatourfamilywasbetter

suitedtoamoreurbanenvironment.Still,itwaswithgreatsadnessthatwe

packedupandheadedbacktotheMidwest.WhenIreturnedtotheChicago

area, my work expanded. I saw individuals and held classes. Reading my

own Akashic Records had given me access to priceless resources: classes,

ideas,andsuggestionsabouttheirimplementation.

One of my driving questions has always been how to be both spiritually

aware and a responsible participant in everyday life, and that question still

calledforananswer.I’dseensomany,manypeoplewhowereeitheroneor

the other. I knew intuitively that the spiritual force I had found was not

meant to take me away from life but rather to enhance my ordinary living.

Spending time in my Records, I sought guidance on this topic as well as

manyothers.

AfterI’dbeenteachingintheMidwestforafewyears,Igotanunexpected

call from Mary Parker. She let me know that she was restructuring her

relationships with the people who used her sacred prayer to teach the

Akashic Records. By now I had had a great deal of experience with the

Records, and the many changes she had decided to implement didn’t make

sense to me. I realized that I could not incorporate her ideas into my work

because the guidance I was receiving was different from hers, so out of

respectforMaryandherlineage,andoutofrespectformyself,IknewIhad

to step away. I stopped teaching the Akashic Records, continuing only my

work with individuals. It was a difficult transition because a part of me

wantedtobelongtothecommunityIhadcometoknow.However,thecost

ofbelongingwouldbetodishonormyownspiritualtruth,anddisregarding

myownguidancewasoutofthequestion.

For the next eighteen months, I prayed, cried, wondered, and navigated a

great internal maelstrom. At the center of the storm, I struggled with my

relationship to the God of my understanding. Out of that struggle came the

foundationforwhatI called “the God classes.” Though initially what Ihad

createdofferedasystematicwayIcouldresolvesomeofmyoutgrownideas

about God, I saw that this approach could benefit others—and with good

reason. In my teaching of the Akashic Records, I had observed that those

who were comfortable with their God did deep, rich work in the Records.

Thosewho wereuncomfortablewiththeir God,however,hada hardertime

workingintheRecords.So,theGodclasseshelpedusall.

During the summer of 2001, as I prayed furiously for help, I received the

recurring message that I must teach the Akashic Records! This was

fascinating.IkepttellingGod,innouncertainterms,thatthiswasoutofthe

question,butthepersistentnotionwouldnotleaveme.Thefirstweekendin

September,inthemidstofaspiritualtempertantrum,aprayercametome.It

broke through my ranting, and my mind went still as the words and the

rhythm quietly dominated the space. Saying that prayer opened me up to a

powerfulrealmintheRecords,wheremyheartsoftenedandmymindlined

uptosupportmyheart.IhadmovedtoanewlevelwiththePathwayPrayer.

Itwasawesome.

After I received my own sacred prayer from the Records, I made an

appointmentwithmyassistant,Christina,totalkbyphoneonthemorningof

September 11, 2001. I planned to share the prayer with her and get her

reaction to it. That morning while we talked, the twin towers of the World

Trade Center in New York City were being hit, and a new dimension of

consciousness was being opened up for millions. I will have more to say

about this astonishing convergence later, but I like to think of the Pathway

Prayer I received, which allowed me to access the Heart of the Akashic

Records, as an expression of the higher vibrations that were released that

day.

Ihadsomuchtolearn!ThePathwayPrayerintenselyengagestheheart,and

this requires practitioners to be very active in their own inner work. The

clearerandmoreopentheirhearts,thestrongertheirconnectiontotheLight.

Whenheartsareopen,thisprayeroffersanaccessibleportaltotheAkashic

Records.IwaseagertofollowtheguidanceIwasgettingfromtheRecords,

soIsoonsetuptheCenterforAkashicStudiesandtaughtclassesthere—lots

of classes. New ideas and understandings kept coming through to me from

theRecords,andIacteduponthemtothebestofmyability.

What has been most striking to me about this particular pathway into the

Recordsisthatcompassionandacceptancearedominant.Witheveryreading

Ido—formyselforsomeoneelse—Iget a freshdoseofLight and love.It

maysoundcorny,butit’strue.Theseenergieshavehelpedmegrowbeyond

self-rejection and self-abandonment and into greater self-love. And with a

greaterawarenessofthelovepresentwithinme,itisonlynaturalformeto

wanttosharemorelovewithothers.

Overtheyears,Ihavehadmanyreadingswithpractitionersfromavarietyof

disciplines. Astrologers, aura readers, intuitives, and channelers all offered

many positive and helpful ideas. However, I often encountered the same

problemwiththesereadings.Nomatterwhothereaderwasorwhatmethod

of divination he or she used, I would be told emphatically that if I would

only “love myself,” everything would be just fine. Being urged to do this

didn’tmakeitanyeasiertogettothatplacewithinmyself.ThoughI knew

thattheywerecorrect,andsincereintheirdesiretoassistme,Ididn’tknow

how to translate their words into an experience of accepting and respecting

myselfforwhoIwasatthetime.

Now, through the grace of an infinitely generous and loving God, I have

grown to love myself more today than ever before. Through this pathway

into the Heart of the Akashic Records, I have enjoyed the distinct sense of

myown goodnessand thegoodnessof others,aswell astheexperience of

beingseen,known,andloved—andmostimportant—liked.Itismysincere

wish that this book will lead you to the source of Light from which these

wonderfulqualitiesemanate:theAkashicRecords.

AnOpeningMeditation

I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to an exciting new

dimensionofspiritualknowledge.Thisdimensionissosubtle—withsucha

light and quick vibration—that it will actually cause an energetic shift in

your consciousness. As this shift occurs, it will allow you to move out of

yourordinarywaysofperceivingsothatyoucanaccesstheextraordinary—

aninterfacewiththeDivine!

Tofacilitatethisshiftinconsciousness,IstarteachofmyBeginningClasses

withameditation.Thismeditationhelpsusgroundourselvesinanenergetic

pillar of Light that lovingly holds us steady as we move into our work. So

please find yourself a comfortable chair in a quiet room. Seat yourself

squarely, with your back straight and your feet on the floor. Then read

throughthefollowingmeditationatapacethatfeelscomfortabletoyou.

OpeningMeditation:ThePillarofLight

As you sit with your feet flat on the floor, let your chair hold you up and

support you. Get a sense of where you are and where your body is.... Now

rub your hands together and begin to draw energy up from the heart of the

earth.Drawitupfromtheverycenteroftheplanet,throughthesolesofyour

feet,andallowittotravelupthroughyourbody...upthroughyourlegs...

up through your trunk ... into your neck ... and up into the cavity of your

skull.Allowtheenergytopressintotheliningofyourskull.

While still rubbing your hands together, you might be noticing that the

energy has been traveling down your arms and into your hands. By now,

your hands should be warm. Use them to clear your aura—the energy field

around you body. Physically brush off your body, clearing away any

vibrationonyouoraroundyouthatisn’tyours.Senditintotheearth,where

it can be absorbed and transmuted. Then, when you’re finished, put your

handspalms-upinyourlaporonthearm-restsofthechair.

Now allow yourself to become aware of the infinitely powerful and loving

source of Light that is always there, hovering about eighteen inches above

your head.... As you become more aware of the Light, it becomes more

activated, and it rains down over you—in front, behind, on both sides. The

Light clears away anything on you or around you that interferes with your

abilitytoexperienceyourowngoodness.

AstheLightmovesfromheadtotoe,itgathersunderyourfeetandbeginsto

swell.ItbeginstoestablishforyouaplatformofLightthatholdsyouupin

HowtoReadtheAkashicRecords

CHAPTERONE

AnIntroductiontotheAkashicRecords

WhatAretheAkashicRecords?

The Akashic Records are a dimension of consciousness that contains a

vibrational record of every soul and its journey. This vibrational body of

consciousnessexistseverywhereinitsentiretyandiscompletelyavailableat

alltimesandinallplaces.Assuch,theRecordsareanexperientialbodyof

knowledge that contains everything that every soul has ever thought, said,

and done over the course of its existence, as well as all its future

possibilities.

Let’sbreaktheabovedefinitionintosmallerparts,startingwiththemeaning

of dimension of consciousness. A dimension of consciousness is a realm of

the unseen world that we humans can identify and experience through its

qualities, characteristics, or traits. For example, the dream state is a

dimensionofconsciousnesscontainingdifferentlevelsofsleepactivitythat

humanscanidentifyandexperience.Otherdimensionsofconsciousnesscan

be identified as different “regions” of the mind—the conscious and

subconscious,thezoneofmemory,areasofmusicalormathematicalabilities

—and areas of the brain that govern our physical capabilities. Still other

dimensions of consciousness are the different states of relaxation that are

measuredbybrainactivity.Whatallthesedimensionsofconsciousnesshave

incommonisthat,althoughtheyareunseen,weknowthattheyexist.

Intheprocessofaccessing,or“opening,”theAkashicRecords,wetransition

fromastateofordinaryhumanconsciousnesstoastateofDivineuniversal

consciousness in which we recognize our Oneness with the Divine at all

levels.Thisstateofconsciousnessallowsustoperceivetheimpressionsand

vibrations of the Records. In this way, the Records have served humanity

throughout its unfolding by being an extraordinary state through which we

canreceiveDivineilluminationatamanageablerateandintegrateitintoour

humanexperience.Becauseofthisintegration,wecanquiteliterallysaythat

accessingtheAkashaallowsusglimpsesofheavenonearth!

Now,ontothemeaningofAkasha.TheintroductiontoTheAquarianGospel

of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling has perhaps the best description of

theword:

AkashaisaSanskritword,andmeans[p]rimarysubstance,thatoutofwhich

allthingsareformed....Itisthefirststageofthecrystallizationofspirit....

ThisAkashic,orprimarysubstance,isofexquisitefinenessandisso

sensitivethattheslightestvibrationsofanetheranyplaceintheUniverse

When we talk about the Akasha, the primary substance, we are referring to

energy in its first and earliest state— before it has been directed by our

individual thoughts and affected by our emotions in this lifetime. This

energyis aqualityofLightin boththephysical andspiritualsenses.Itisa

qualityofaliveness,orvitality,individualizeduniquelyasspecificsouls.

AlthoughAkashaisaSanskritword,theAkashicRecordsarenotedinmany

sacredtexts.Followingareseveralreferences:

—TheAquarianGospelofJesustheChrist

158:3–4

The Akashic Records are the Light Body of universal self awareness. As

such, they contain the universal consciousness, with its three main

components of mind, heart, and will. The Records also contain the radiant

vibrations of Light that all things generate. Every time we access the

Records,ourawarenessis affectedbythis qualityofLight, andwebecome

“en-Lightened” by it. When this happens, the effects of the Light become

evident in our thoughts and emotions (and in those of our clients), and we

begintoexperienceanincreasedsenseofpeaceandwell-being.

TheAkashicRecordsaregovernedandprotectedbyagroupofnonphysical

LightBeingscalledtheLordsoftheRecords.Thesebeingsensurethesafety

and integrity of the Records. They determine not only who can access the

Records but what information they can receive. The Lords of the Records

work with the Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones—who serve as the

interfacebetweentheAkashicandearthlyrealms—by“downloading”tothe

Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones the information that they will relay

duringeachAkashicreading.

Though the Lords of the Records and the Akashic Masters are nonphysical

beings, some of the Teachers and all of the Loved Ones have existed as

humansonearth.WhenyouworkintheAkashicRecords,youwillneversee

theLordsoftheRecords,norwillyouseetheTeachersandLovedOnesas

theyexistedinhumanform,butyoumaysensetheirenergeticpresenceifa

TeacheroraLovedOnedeemsitappropriateandnecessarytocomeforward

andrelaycertaininformation.Usually,however,theMasters,Teachers,and

LovedOnesprefertoremainanonymoussothatwewilllearntorelyonthe

energyoftheRecordsratherthanonspecificidentitiesintheRecords.

In Chapter 3, I will discuss in more detail the roles of the Lords of the

Records and the Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones. As you may have

surmised from the preceding description, however, working in the Akashic

Records requires an understanding and acceptance of the concept of

reincarnation.Fromthe perspective oftheRecords,all souls areeternal.At

this level of understanding, the Records hold the archive of each soul as it

hasexistedfromlifetimeto lifetime as different human beings on the earth

planewhileevolvingthroughouttimeandspace.Ahumanincarnationoccurs

as a specific manifestation of the perfect blueprint of the soul. The idea of

the human experience is to become in the physical the perfect self that

alreadyexistsintheAkashaatthesoullevel.Growingintotheawarenessof

one’sspiritualnatureandbeingabletoanchorthatawarenessinthephysical

andbecomethatoptimalselfontheearthplanetakestime—manylifetimes,

in fact. In the Records, we are able to see and register our various

incarnations. So in essence, the Akashic Records are both the perfect soul-

level blueprint and the catalogue of experiences of an individual soul as it

grows into awareness of itself as a spiritual being, Divine in nature and

manifestinginthephysicalearth-arena.

“Traditionaltherapyisoftenneededforbasiclearningandproblems,but

when one is ready to move beyond the basic to the extraordinary, the

AkashicRecordsfarsurpassthepoweroftraditionaltherapy....Iamvery

gratefultohavethispowerfulandexcitingtoolavailabletoincreasemy

self-knowledgeandhelpmebecomethepersonIwasborntobe.”

—Kathryn

It is easy to understand why the Akasha is often called “the Records.” The

Akasha is organized in a way that allows us humans to interact with this

spiritual resource and gain insight, guidance, and understanding within

earthlytimeandspace.InorderfortheRecordstobeaccessibletous,they

areorganizedbycurrentlegalnames.Thisway,whateverlifetimewearein,

wecangainentryandfindtheblueprint,orthe“Record,”ofourindividual

soul,andexaminethepathtoitsrealization.

WhileitistruethattheAkashicRecordsofeverysoulexisteverywhereall

atonceandareentirelyaccessible,itwouldnotbeusefultohavetotalaccess

toasoul’sRecordsduringasingleAkashicreading.Theinformationwould

besovastandoverwhelmingthatdecipheringitwouldbenearlyimpossible

andcoulddomoreharmthangood.

Everynamehasadistinctvibrationalquality,sowhenweopenaparticular

soul’s Records, we use the name that the soul is currently using in this

lifetime. The vibration of that name then makes available to us the “set of

Records” that contain the information that will be most relevant during the

reading.It’snowondertheAkashicRecordshavebeenlikenedtoa“cosmic

Internet” that allows us to “Google” specific information when we open a

person’sRecords.

The energy of the Records moves on the formed, or spoken, word. As an

Akashic reader describes what he or she is receiving from the Records, the

processflows.Thespokenwordsfacilitatethemovementoftheenergy,the

relationship to the story at hand, and the client’s thoughts, feelings, and

subsequentactions.When youworkinyourown Recordsandassign words

towhatisoccurring—whetherthroughthought,writing,orspeech—youare

facilitatingthesameflowofenergyandinformation.

The Akashic Records are always changing and expanding. As our souls

evolve over time, our Records adjust to reflect our growth and are in a

continual state of refinement as we align with our perfection and manifest

thatperfectioninourearthlylives.Therefore,wecanlookattheRecordsas

anintermediarybodyofallpast,present,andfuturepossibility,probability,

andeventuality.Throughthemwecanderiveunderstandinganddirectionas

weopenupwithinourselvesonourjourneytobecomingouroptimalselves

inthephysicalworld.

TheAkashicRecordsarenonintrusiveandnoninvasive.Theyarenotaligned

with a particular personality or entity, nor are they governed or owned by

anyhumanorganizationorinstitution.Therefore,theyarenottheexclusive

domain of any religion or metaphysical-wisdom school; rather, they are

availabletoall.

Because the Akasha is the primary substance out of which all thoughts are

formed, the Records are interpreted in different ways by different cultures,

religions, and organized belief systems. What is commonly agreed upon by

allistheAkashicenergyitself,whichismanifestedandgenerallyrecognized

as love, light, peace, power, beauty, harmony, joy, strength, order, and

balance.

WhoUsestheAkashicRecords,andWhy?

For centuries, the Akashic Records were the exclusive domain of mystics,

saints,andscholars—andrightlyso.Infinitepowerandwisdomareavailable

intheRecords,andtheyhavebeenentrustedtothosewhoarewellprepared

for the responsibility of deep knowing. In both Eastern and Western

traditions, there have been mystery schools preparing seekers for esoteric

knowledge. Trainings were known to be rigorous and exacting in order to

ensure the sanctity of the work, protecting both the initiate and the

dimensionofconsciousness.

Times have changed, however. The collective consciousness of the human

racehasbeengrowing,evolving,andmaturing.Intheprocess,humanityhas

moved from the age of dependence on a spiritual “parent” to spiritual

independence and responsibility. This spiritual independence is marked by

individualsknowingthattheyhavedirectaccesstotheirspiritualsource,and

byusingtheirindependencetocultivatethatrelationship.Aswecontinueto

forgenewpathsbothinandtotheAkashicRecords,morepeoplethanever

before are being drawn to their Light. Today, anyone with a conscious

commitment to seeking and spreading Divine Light and healing can access

thisbodyofwisdom,insight,andguidance.

Inthemid-twentiethcentury,EdgarCayce(1877–1945)wastheonlyperson

reading the Akashic Records publicly. He was known as “the sleeping

prophet” because his method of accessing the Records was to put himself

intoasleepstatethatallowedhimtoshifthisconsciousnessandaccessthe

Akasha. While in this state, Cayce relayed information while someone else

took notes. Upon awakening, he shifted back to his ordinary state of

consciousnessandrememberednothingofwhathadtranspired.

For forty-three years, Cayce gave daily Akashic Records readings. Today

those readings—more than fourteen thousand of them—are available to the

public and provide a wealth of information about the Akashic Records

themselves, as well as answers to thousands of questions related to health

andspirituality.Whatis significantforustodayaboutCayce’sworkisthat

he popularized the Akashic Records. Though theosophist H.P. Blavatsky

(1831–1891)andanthroposophistRudolfSteiner(1861–1925)referredtothe

AkashicRecordsintheirwritings,itwasnotuntilCayce’sworkintheearly

to mid-twentieth century that Akashic Records readings became a familiar

practiceinthemovementofconsciousnessdevelopment.

Today, thousands of people have powerful relationships with the Akashic

Records.WhilesomepeopleworkintheirRecordsstrictlyfortheirpersonal

growth and development, others use their Records to support artistic

endeavors such as photography, pottery, painting, writing, and composing.

Businesspeople use the Records for help in managing their companies or

careers,andparentsusetheRecordsforguidanceandsupportinparenting.

IreadaboutEdgarCaycewhenIwasachild,butitwasn’tuntilIhada

near death experience that someone recommended I have an Akashic

Records reading. I had been having out-of-body experiences, and I was

lookingforsomethingto anchorme—asafespace.After thatreading,I

learnedto readtheRecordsmyself. TheRecordshavebecome mylittle

anchor.

HowDoPeopleAccesstheAkashicRecords?

ThevarietyofmethodsthatpeopleusetodaytoaccesstheAkashicRecords

corresponds to the variety of ways in which they can make contact with

spiritualresources.ThePathwayPrayerProcessthatIpresentinthisbookis

part of the “sacred prayer” tradition of accessing the Records. In this

tradition, individuals find their way into the Records through the light and

sound vibrations of spoken words. The different prayers that people have

developedarelike“accessramps”thatleadtodifferentareasoftheRecords.

While some people use prayers to access the Records, others gain access

throughhypnosis.StillothershavebeenabletotapintotheRecordsbyusing

thesymbolsofthehealingpracticeknownasReiki.Andyes,therearethose

who have been able to access the Records as a result of their meditation

practicesandotherformsofconsciousnessdevelopment.

All ways into a conscious relationship with the Akashic Records are good

andvalid. What matters most aboutthe method you chooseis that it aligns

withwhoyouareasapersonandallowsyoutocomfortablyexperiencethe

mosteffectivereadingspossible.Inpickingupthisbook,youwereledtothe

PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsbecause

thisparticularmethodcanworkforyou.Youwouldnothavebeenguidedto

thismethodifitwerenotaneffectiveresourceforyou;sorelax—you’reon

the right path. When you’re ready to take your first steps toward opening

yourAkashicRecords,youwillbeDivinelyguidedandsupported.Afterall,

theUniverseisonyoursideandisconspiringforyoursuccess!

Through my work as both a teacher and a reader of the Records, I have

learnedthatmostofthepeopleattractedtothePathwayPrayerProcesshave

hadexperienceswiththeenergyoftheAkashicRecordsatsomeearliertime.

However, these may have been “accidental” and could not be duplicated

easily, so the Records have not been a reliable spiritual resource for them.

Consciously and deliberately using the Pathway Prayer Process, however—

which is, in effect, a spiritual code—will allow you authority over the

process, so you can access the Records whenever you choose. In essence,

usingthePathwayPrayergivesyouawaytoaccesstheRecordsforyourself

and others consciously, responsibly, directly, and at will—and this is

unprecedentedinhumanhistory.

IwasencouragedbyafriendtohaveanAkashicRecordsreading,butI

was afraid. I finally did make an appointment because I had a big

question about my work—my creative work. That reading changed my

life!Inowhavemystudio,andIamintouchwithmycreativity.

—Homa

While the Akashic Records have always been available, they have not

alwaysbeen availabletoeveryone.Instead,the Recordshavelongbeen the

domainofa veryselectgroupwhowould interact withtheAkashaon their

ownbehalforonbehalfoftheircommunities.WhenwetalkabouttheNew

AgeinregardtotheAkashicRecords,wearetalkingaboutthefactthatthis

is the time when secular people choose their own resources, including the

Records, and walk their own spiritual paths. The days of spiritual

immaturity, “spoon-feeding,” spiritual oppression, and victimization are

over.Wearein a new time of learning how to beinconsciousrelationship

with our own spiritual authority. A hundred years ago, this was not a

possibility.Actually,itwouldhavebeenconsideredscandalous.

It is curious that even today there are not many books about the Akashic

Recordsincirculation.Evenmoreremarkableisthefactthatthisbookisthe

firstofitskind,inthatitactuallyteachesanexplicitmethodforreadingthe

AkashicRecords.

In the second half of the twentieth century, a few books emerged that

identified and described the Akashic Records. Their emergence coincided

withthefirststageofeducatingthemassconsciousnessabouttheexistence

oftheRecordsandtheirpotentialasaspiritualresource.Fromthatfirststage

of books, there are two I recommend. The first is by Robert Chaney, the

founder of the Astara Foundation, a metaphysical-wisdom school in

California.Hisbook,AkashicRecords:PastLives&NewDirections,likens

the Akashic Records to a computer system and uses computer terms to

discuss different elements of the Records. The second book is by Kevin

Todeschi of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), an

organizationthatstudiesandpromotestheworkofEdgarCayce.Todeschi’s

book, Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records: The Book of Life, provides an

illuminatingperspectiveon howCayceworked intheRecords, thekindsof

information he received during readings, and how that information was

utilized.

Amongbookspublishedmorerecently, Irecommend anexcitingnewwork

called Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything by

physicist Ervin Laszlo. This book takes a scientific approach to identifying

andvalidatingtheexistenceoftheAkashicRecords,or“A-Field.”

ThereasonIwrotethisbookonhowtoreadtheAkashicRecordsistogive

you a tool you can hold in your hands, some thing you can use to move

yourself forward on your spiritual path. This is the time. It is our time in

history, and we are the people—the vanguard of the New Age, individuals

whotakeresponsibilityfortheirownspiritualawarenessandtheirconscious

relationshipwiththeGodoftheirownunderstanding.Thisisnotchanneling

intheold-fashionedway.AsAkashicreaders,we“channel”byallowingthe

energy of the Records to move through our bodies, hearts, and minds. We

channel energy and information directly from the Akasha, not from entities

orpersonalitiesfromotherdimensions.

When I first experienced opening my own Records, I felt completely

enveloped in Light, andI knew I was home. It was verypowerful—my

heartclickedallovertheplace!Ittookaminuteortwotosettledown.

As I mentioned earlier, most of the people who come to me for Akashic

readings or classes show up because, at some deep level, they are familiar

with the Records already. They are responding to an inner prompting that

this is their time to be active and conscious in their spiritual development.

TheRecordsalwaysmeetpeoplewheretheyare.Youwillonlybeattracted

to this book if it is your time to learn to read the Records. You may find

when you begin reading the Records that they feel familiar to you. Make

yourselfrightathome.

HowWillWeAccesstheAkashicRecordsinThisBook?

Inthisbook,wewillusethePathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartof

theAkashicRecords.AsImentionedinthePreface,IwasgiventhePathway

Prayer by my Akashic Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones in September

2001,andIwassharingitforthefirsttimewithmyassistant,Christina,just

asthetwintowersoftheWorldTradeCenterwerecollapsingonSeptember

11. There was an opening in the collective heart of humanity at that time

because that was the most aggressive single attack on American soil in

history,andourformersenseofinvincibilityshattered—tobereplacedwith

anewsenseofvulnerability.Asthecurrentgloballeadersinthemovement

for inner spiritual awakening, the American psyche is at the forefront of

humanity in this matter. An injury to the leader always impacts the group.

The wound to the heart of America corresponds to the wounding and

subsequentopeningoftheheartofallofhumanity,andthisparticularprayer

isafocalpointforhumanattention.Itanchorsandstabilizesthatopeningin

the heart space and allows us to access it more deeply. Since so many

people’sheartswereopenedthatdayastheyreachedouttoeachotheracross

theworld,Ibelievethatthisprayer,too,openedapathwayintothecore,the

Heart, of the Records, which is the seat of unconditional love within the

Akashicbodyofwisdom.

WhyuseaprayertoaccesstheAkashicRecords?Sincetheyexistwithinthe

realm of spirit, they are considered a “spiritual” entity, so this particular

domainofconsciousnessisbestaccessedandachievedthroughthespiritual

actionofprayer.Asaspiritualapproach,prayerinvolvesourentirebeing:it

involves the mental process of directing and focusing our thoughts, the

physical act of speaking them, and the emotional response that we feel in

regardtoourmessageorrequest.Thesethingscombinetocreateaspiritual

experience through which we reach across time and space and make

consciouscontactwithDivineSpirit.Soevenifwedon’tfeelspiritualwhile

praying,theactitselfisanacknowledgmentofspiritualtruthandthedesire

toliveandactfromthatplaceatthattime.

Teaching the Pathway Prayer Process to hundreds of students over the past

several years, I have watched them use it to usher in a new and higher

dimension of consciousness—not only for themselves but for those whose

Records they read. It has been an exciting and miraculous process, the

effectsofwhicharebeingfeltacrosstheplanet.AndnowIamexcitedtobe

abletoofferthePathwayPrayerProcesstoyou.

CHAPTERTWO

GuidelinesandGroundRulesforReadingtheAkashicRecords

InthischapterIsetoutsomeguidelinesthatwillfacilitateyourworkinthe

Records. These are meant to help you prepare for the most enlightening

experiences possible. They encourage kindness and respect in

communication,responsibleuseoftime,andappropriatewaysofcombining

the Records with other spiritual systems. The guidelines also provide

suggestions for formulating your questions before a reading, and they

describe the kinds of information you might receive, as well as how you

mightreceiveit.

I’vecompiledtheseguidelinesfromafewdifferentsources,includingMary

Parker; my own Akashic Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones; and my

experiences while teaching others to read the Records. Through the years I

havefoundthattherearewaysofworkingintheRecordsthatsupportmore

accurate, effective readings, and I pass this information to you so that you

canbesuccessfulinyourpractice.

HowShouldIPreparetoReadtheAkashicRecords?

Thewayyouchoosetoliveyourlifehasnobearingonyourabilitytoaccess

the Akashic Records. However, deciding the best way to approach an

Akashic Records reading is a conscious and deliberate matter that requires

conscious and deliberate choices. The following guidelines will help you

makechoicesthat allow you to work responsibly in the Records.Theywill

facilitateyourshiftintotheAkashicfieldofconsciousnessandsupportyou

in receiving information as clearly and strongly as possible. Although I

strictlyfollowtheseguidelinesasawaytoprepareforreadings,Iaminno

way asking you to alter your personal lifestyle and follow the guidelines

daily. If you like to drink alcohol, for example, that is totally your choice.

I’mmerelyinstructingyoutoabstainfromalcoholtwenty-fourhoursbefore

giving a reading. The first guideline below will explain why this is

important.

GuidelinesforReadingtheAkashicRecords

1. Do not consume recreational drugs or alcohol for twenty-four hours

beforeopeningtheRecords.

The general understanding about drugs is this: If you are taking a

prescription drug that your body needs for balance and healing, that drug

will not interfere with your ability to read the Records. However,

recreational drugs or alcohol will work against you in a reading because

they’llcompromiseyourenergyfieldandmakeitsedges“wobbly”orshaky

—andthatwilldistortyourperception.(Thinkaboutwhathappenswhenyou

view yourself in a fun house mirror: you don’t see an accurate image of

yourself because the mirror distorts your perception.) Though a distorted

perceptionofrealitymaybeacceptableincertainenvironments,it’sneither

appropriate nor responsible during an Akashic Records reading, where the

goalofthereaderistorevealthetruth.

2.UseyourcurrentlegalnamewhenopeningyourRecords.

Every name has a unique energetic vibration. Using the vibration of your

current legal name is what allows you access to your Records. And using

your full name—Suzette Joann Bailey, rather than Suzy Bailey, Suzy Jo

Bailey, or Suzy J. Bailey—allows for a deeper, richer reading. When you

change your name legally (as in the case of marriage or divorce, for

example),youchangeyourvibrationintheAkashicRecords,aswellasthe

directionyourlifecantake.Sousethenamethatisonyourlegaldocuments,

even if it’s not the name you use every day. Ifthere’s any confusion about

this,askyourselfthequestion“HowdoestheIRSknowme?”Thisguideline

alsoapplieswhenyoureadtheAkashicRecordsforothers.

3.BeresponsibleforyourtimeintheRecords.

Especially when you’re first getting used to being in the Records, it’s

important to spend enough time during a reading to allow your

consciousness to fully shift. This shift will allow you to get firmly

“entrenched” in the Akashic field and receive information as clearly as

possible. Between fifteen minutes and an hour in the Records is an

appropriateamountoftimetospend.Anythinglessthanfifteenminuteswill

feel less like an Akashic reading and more like a quick-fix oracle in the

realm of a yes-or no question. (See section entitled “What Kinds of

Questions Work Best in the Akashic Records?” for the kinds of questions

thatworkbestduringAkashicreadings—andforanexplanationofwhyyes-

or-noquestionsarenotaseffectiveashow-and-whyquestions.)

4.Groundyourselfaftereachreading.

As you transition out of, or “close,” the Akashic Records, your

consciousness shifts back to your human perspective. To prevent yourself

from feeling disoriented after this shift, do something to ground yourself:

Drinkaglass of water. Wash yourface.Have a bite to eat. Go outsideand

hugatree.Walkaroundbarefoot—whateverworksbestforyouandfitsyour

immediatecircumstances.Thereasonforgroundingyourselfistobringyour

awarenessbacktothepresentmomentandmakeyourselffullyawareofyour

surroundings. Two grounding techniques that work well for me are taking

my dog for a walk and taking out the trash. Both of these methods require

metoletgoofthereadingandbepresenttowhatIamdoing.

5.When combining theAkashicRecordswithany other system,always

honorbothmethods.

And conversely, if the guidelines and procedures for a particular system

conflict with the guidelines for reading the Akashic Records, don’t use the

twosystemstogether.Here’sanexample:You’re considering opening your

Records while partaking in Ritual Z, which requires you to eat

hallucinogenic mushrooms. But you know that you must abstain from

alcoholanddrugsfortwentyfourhoursbeforeopeningyourRecords.Since

Ritual Z’s procedures conflict with these guidelines, practice these systems

separately.Inthisway,youcanhonoreachsystem’smethodsandkeepeach

systempureandeffective.

GuidelinesforReadingtheAkashicRecordsforOthers

1.Beforeopeningaperson’sRecords,obtainhisorherpermission.

Opensomeone’sRecordsonlywhenheorsheasksyoutodoso.Alwaysbe

aware that Akashic readings are “by invitation only,” so don’t tell people

that they need readings or coerce them into consenting when they’re

uncomfortable with the idea. Know that it’s up to each person to decide

whetherornottohaveareading.Evenwhenitappearsthataperson’ssoul

or Higher Self is longing for a reading, if that human being cannot or will

not ask for a reading, then the timing is not right—and doing a reading

wouldnotberighteither.

2.Maintainthestrictestconfidentiality.

If you are interested in doing Akashic readings for other people, you

probablyalready possess a natural sensitivity to their needs—especiallythe

needforprivacy.Soofcourseyouwillhonortheconfidentialnatureofthis

work and will not discuss other people’s readings. As in all things, the

Golden Rule applies here: Do unto others as you would have them do unto

you. If you’re ever on the receiving end of a reading, you will especially

appreciatethisguideline.

3. Present all the information you get as positively, kindly, and

respectfullyaspossible.

Thegoalofeveryreadingistodignifyandelevatethepersonbeingread—to

reveal that person’s true self and potential. Gently and respectfully share

everythingthataperson’sMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesreveal—even

if it makes you uncomfortable, it seems insignificant, or it doesn’t make

sensetoyou.Sometimesthethingthatyouholdbackfromsayingisexactly

whatapersonmostneedstohear.

4.DonotopentheRecordsofindividualsyoungerthaneighteenyearsof

age.

Eachculturehasitsowndefinitionofwhenachildbecomesanadult.Inthe

United States, adulthood is generally recognized as eighteen years of age.

ThePathwayPrayerProcesshonorstheculturalnormsoftheUnitedStates

becauseit’stheplaceoforiginofthissystem.Untilchildrenreachtheageof

eighteen, they are the legal responsibility of their parents or guardians and

are not allowed to make choices for themselves. Since having an Akashic

readingrequiresindividualstotakeresponsibilityfortheirownactions(and

karma), children must wait until they’re eighteen to have a reading. This

doesnotmean,however,thatparentscan’topentheirownRecordsandask

questions about raising their children. Valuable information is available

regarding why our children are in our lives, how we can best support their

growth,andwhatlessonswecan learn from our relationships withthem.(I

am sometimes asked if it’s okay to open the Records of a “mature”

seventeen-and-a-half-year-old. My answer is always the same: if those

childrenaretrulymature,they’llunderstandwhyit’simportanttowaituntil

theyturneighteen.)

RecommendationsfortheFirstThirtyDays

Once you make a conscious commitment to learn the Pathway Prayer

Process, your initiation period begins, and you enter a “transitional thirty-

daygraceperiod.”Soifyousimplyopenthisbook,readtheprayer,andstart

touseit,youmaynotgettheimmediateresultsyoudesire.However,ifyou

takethetimetoreadtheentirebookanddecidetoworkwithinitsguidelines

and ground rules, you will surely enter the zone of grace that will lend

energeticsupporttoyourendeavor.

After you read the guidelines and ground rules, you may decide you’re not

ready just yet to open your Akashic Records. That’s okay. The thirty-day

transitionbeginswhenyoudecidetogivetheRecordsafairtry.Youknow

what “fair try” means for you, and it’s your decision, so you get to be the

one who says what’s fair. If something happens in your life that requires

your full attention, and you can’t work in the Records for a while, don’t

worry.JustlettheRecordsgountilyouarereadytostartanew.Yourthirty-

day grace period will also begin again. During that time, the Lords of the

Records will gently guide you as you make your way in this exciting new

spiritualrealm.

During those early days, as you begin to read for others, the following

guidelineswillhelpeaseyouranxiety.

ForThirtyDaysafterYouLearntoReadtheAkashicRecords

1.DoofferAkashicreadingstoothers.

Once you learn to access the Akashic Records, the quickest way to get

comfortablegivingreadingsistopracticeasmuchasyoucan.Therefore,it’s

permissible during this thirty-day period only to offer people readings

insteadof waiting tobeasked.Tell peoplethatyoujust learned toreadthe

Records,andaskifyoucanpracticeonthem.Iftheyagreetohaveareading,

terrific. If they hesitate or say no, take that as your cue: Stop. Leave them

alone.Asksomebodyelse.

2.DonotcollectmoneyforyourAkashicreadings.

Offeringfreereadingsforthefirstthirtydayswillallowforthefactyouthat

you’re still learning, and your readings may not be perfect. This approach

willgiveyoulatitudetostretchandgrow,andit will ease any “pressure to

perform.” When you do begin to charge for your readings, be sure to ask

yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOneswhatfeeisappropriateforyou.

3.Donotmixyourreadingswithothersystemsordisciplines.

Before you start mixing your Akashic work with any other systems, it’s

importanttoknowwhattheRecordsare,aswellaswhattheydo.Otherwise,

youmaynotbeabletotellwhichpracticeiscreatingwhichresult.(AsIlike

tosay,“Beforeyoumixadrink,youneedtoknowwhat’sineachbottle.”)

WhatKindsofQuestionsWorkBestintheAkashicRecords?

One of the most important keys to conducting an accurate and powerful

readingisknowingwhatkindsofquestionstoask.Somequestionswillyield

lots of information from the Records, while others will yield little or no

information—ortheywon’tyieldthekindofinformationyou’reseeking.So

asyoubegintoformulateyourquestions,herearethreeguidelinestofollow.

1.Avoidquestionsthatstartwithwhen.

Timedoesnotmatter in the Records because the Recordsareeternal. They

exist everywhere, all at once, and always in the here and now. Therefore

yourAkashicMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesareneitherboundbynorto

the parameters of earthly space and time. So asking them a predictive

questionaboutwhensomethingwillhappenwillnotgiveyoutheansweryou

want—and you may even end up feeling frustrated, as in the following

questionposedbythefictional“MaryMargaret.”

MaryMargaret:Masters,Teachers,andLovedOnes,whenwillIfindthe

loveofmylife?

Of course, the answer Mary Margaret wants and expects is something

measurable and definitive, such as, “You will find the love of your life

within the next three months.” However, since the Masters, Teachers, and

Loved Ones don’t deal in earthly time, they won’t give her a measurable,

definitiveanswer.Instead,theymightrespondlikethis:

MTLOs:MaryMargaret,youwillfindtheloveofyourlifeafteryouforgive

yourex-husbandandreleasehimonceandforall.Onpaperyou’vebeen

divorcedforthreeyearsnow,andyourex-husbandhasmovedonandfound

someoneelse.However,inyourmindandinyourheart,youhaven’tmoved

on.You’restillholdingontothatrelationshipthroughyourangerand

resentment,andthatiskeepingyoustuck.Pleaseforgiveeveryoneconcerned

andmoveforward.Thesooneryoucandothat,thesooneryou’llbefree,

andthesooneryou’llbeabletofindanewloveandarelationshipthat

nurturesandfulfillsyou.

ButMaryMargaretisnothappywiththatansweratall!

MaryMargaret:What?No!!!That’snottheanswerIaskedfor!That’snot

whatIwanttohear!Ididn’taskaboutme.Iaskedabouttheloveofmylife

andwhenI’mgoingtofindhim....

You get the idea: time-related, predictive questions don’t work well in the

Akashic Records—especially when the issue in question could take more

thanonelifetimetoresolve!

2.Avoidquestionswithyes-or-noresponses.

Questionsrequiringyes-or-noanswersdon’tworkwellintheRecordseither

becausetheoutcomeisultimatelyuptoyou;it’sdeterminedbyyourchoices

andlifecircumstances.Hereisanotherexample,thistimewiththefictional

“Thomas.”

Thomas:Iwasofferedanewjobthisweek.ShouldItakeit?

Thomas now expects a simple one-word answer: yes or no. However, the

Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones have a different answer in mind. It is

based on their knowing that in order for Thomas to be truly satisfied, the

decisionmustbehis,nottheirs.Thomasmustlookinsidetodeterminewho

he is, as well as what kind of work he likes and does best. Then he must

consider the advantages and disadvantages inherent in both his current job

andthenewprospect.Nexthemustdecidewhichjobbestsuitshisgoalsand

needs.Aftercarefullyconsideringallthosefactors,Thomaswillfinallyhave

his answer—and at that point, he won’t need any outside help in knowing

whattodo.SoinsteadofhearingyesornofromhisMasters,Teachers,and

LovedOnes,Thomasmighthearsomethinglikethis:

MTLOs:Well...whyareyouconsideringthisjobinthefirstplace,andwhat

mighthappenifyoutakeit?Let’sexplorethepossibilitiesofthenewjobfor

awhileandthenweighthemagainsttherealitiesofyourcurrentjob.First,

regardingthejobyou’vebeenoffered:Whatwouldbesomeofthe

advantagesoftakingit?Whatwouldbesomeofthedrawbacks?Howdothe

jobrequirementsmatchyourcurrentabilitiesandinterests?Aretheyinline

withyourcurrentneeds?Willtheysupportyourfuturegoals?Nowlet’slook

atyourcurrentjob....

That’salotmorewordsthanyesorno.Again,though,yougettheidea:yes-

or-no questions don’t work well in the Records. They diminish people’s

powerbyputtingthedecision-makingprocess—andultimately,theoutcome

—in someone else’s hands. But the Akashic Records give people power by

helping them examine a situation, see what’s true, and then decide for

themselves what feels right. In other words, there are no shoulds in the

Records. Your Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones will broaden your

perspective and will help you weigh your options, but they will not make

yourdecisionsforyouortellyouwhatyoushoulddo.Asalways,theyleave

responsibilitywhereitbelongs—withyou.

Our challenge as human beings on this planet is to live in the present

momentasmuchaswepossiblycan.Whenwe’refocusedonsomepointin

the future or are letting someone else tell us how things should go, we’re

neither present in a particular moment nor responsible for ourselves. But

when we seek the perspective of the Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones,

they help us empower ourselves to be who we need to be in any given

moment.Providingtruth,information,andsupportistheroleoftheAkashic

Records.Soifyoureallyneedatime-relatedanswer,thereareoraclessuch

asclairvoyants,cardreaders,andastrologerswhocanhelp.Andifyouneed

ayes-or-noanswer,apendulumworksespeciallywell.

3.Stickwithquestionsthatanswerwhat,why,orhow.

ThequestionsthatworkbestintheRecordsusuallybeginwithwhat,why,or

how.Forexample,insteadofasking,“Whenwillmysoulmateappear?”or

“ShouldIstaywithmypartner?”tryoneormoreofthefollowingquestions:

• WhyaremypartnerandItogether?

• Whatarewemeanttolearn?

• Whataretheadvantagesand/ordisadvantagesofourbeingtogetheratthis

time?

• Ourrelationshipisstrained/broken/irreparable.Whathappenedtomakeitso?

• WhatamInotseeing,andwhyamInotseeingit?

• HowcanIchangemyperspectiveandseewhatIneedtosee?

• WhatcanIdorightnowtofindpeace,forgiveness,andhealing?

WhatShouldIExpectWhenIOpenMyAkashicRecordsforthe

FirstTime?

NotwopeoplehavethesameexperiencewhenopeningtheirRecordsforthe

firsttime,soit’sbesttogointoyourexperiencewithasfewexpectationsas

possible.Now,havingsaid that,letme tellyouabout afewthingsyou can

expect!

Thefirstthingthatwillhappenwhileyou’reaccessingyourRecordsisthat

whileyouspeaktheOpeningPrayer,you’llshiftoutofyourordinaryhuman

consciousness andintotheDivineuniversalconsciousness. When you open

your Records for the first time, you may or may not sense this shift in any

way.Restassured,however,thatbythetimeyou’vefinishedtheprayer,the

shift will have occurred. As I wrote in the Preface, this shift will not be

dramatic, and it will not involve strange or sensational phenomena: no

talkinginfunnyvoices,noeyesrollingbackinthehead,noentitycomingin

andtakingover,noleavingyourselfintheprocess.Itwilljustbeyou,asyou

alwaysare,speakingasyoualwaysdo.Theonlydifferencewillbeinwhat

you say, because you’ll be receiving information from the Akashic field,

whichisadifferentenergeticdimension.

At this point, you may be wondering if any “negative” energy or “dark”

entities can enter your consciousness or attach to you while you’re in the

AkashicRecords.Myanswertoyouisno—unequivocally,unmistakablyno.

As you will come to understand when I explain the prayer, you are calling

upon only the forces of Light and are inviting only the Holy Spirit ofGod.

SoitisthepowerofthatDivineLightandHolySpiritthatwillupholdand

protectyoufromanythingthatisnotstrictlyoftheLight.Willyoufeelthe

Light? Maybe, maybe not. But again, rest assured that you are being held

firmly in its accelerated and rarified frequency, and you have absolutely

nothingtofear.

WhatKindsofInformationWillIGet,andHowWillIGetIt?

WhenpeopleaccesstheAkashicRecords,theygetallkindsofinformation.

Yetinoneimportantway,it’salwaysthesame:italwayselevatestheperson

beingread. Inthesectionaboutquestionsbeginningon Seesectionentitled

“WhatKindsofQuestionsWorkBestintheAkashicRecords?”,Iexplained

thekindsofanswersyouwillnotgetfromtheRecords.I’dliketoaddtothat

herebysaying that neither will you get informationthatmakes fun of you,

belittlesyou,orjudgesyouinanyway.Ifyoubegintosensejudgmentwhile

you’reintheRecords,knowthatit’scomingfromyou,andasktheMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnesforhelpinshowingyouyoursoul’strueessence

asaDivinespiritualbeing.

Astohowyoumightgetinformation,youmayfindthatwhenyoufirstbegin

opening your Records, you receive information in only one way. You may

only see colors or hear words, for example. Yet after being in the Records

repeatedly, your ability to hold steady in the Light will increase, and you

couldreceiveinformationinanyofthefollowingways:

• Youmay“hear”informationinyourhead.Thismayincludewords,

phrases,oralongernarrative(whichoneofmystudentscalls“streaming

audio”).SometimespeopleaskwhattheMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes

“soundlike.”Asyoumightexpect,they“sound”verydifferentfromone

readingtothenext—asunique,asamatteroffact,astheindividualbeingread.

Sosometimestheirtoneisformal,andsometimesit’scasual.Sometimestheir

toneisserious,andsometimesit’shumorous.Sometimestheyspeakin

metaphors,andsometimesthey’reveryliteral.Andsometimestheyusethe

Socraticmethod—answeringyourquestionswithevenmorequestionsuntilyou

arriveatananswerforyourself.Always,however,theyarecompassionate.

Theyservewithobjectivenonjudgmentwhilefacilitatingyoursoul’sgrowth

andhealing.

• Youmay“see”thingsinyourmind’seye.Youmayseecolors,auras,or

energyfields;images,symbols,orshapes;or“streamingvideo”ofaparticular

event.

• Youmayexperiencevariousemotionalorphysicalfeelingsinyourbody.

Thesemayincludetingling,excitement,heat,orcold,forexample.Ifyou

experienceafeelingthat’suncomfortable,justacknowledgewhatitis.Know

thatitcannotharmoraffectyou,anditwillnotbestickingaround.Thankthe

Masters,Teachers,andLovedOnesforgivingyoutheinformationinthisway;

letthemknowyou’vereceivedthemessage;andaskthemtomakethefeeling

stop.

By now you have a good overview of guidelines and ground rules for

openingtheAkashicRecords,aswellassomeinformationaboutthewaysin

which you might receive information from them. Now we will move ahead

toChapter3, which contains a thorough explanation of the Pathway Prayer

Process to Access the Heart of the Akashic Records. It also contains more

informationaboutwhattoexpectwhenyouopenyourRecordsforthefirst

time.Butbeforeyoubeginreadingthechapter,pleasetakeafewmomentsto

considerwhatyou’vereadsofar,anddecidewhetherthisworkisforyou.

IfyoudecidethatworkingintheRecordswillneverberightforyou,please

passthisbooktosomeoneelsewhowouldliketoexploretheRecords.Ifyou

wouldliketo work in the Records someday butfeelthatthisisn’ttheright

time, then set the book aside until you’re ready to begin again. If you feel

readytoworkintheRecordsrightnow,Iinviteyoutocontinuereadingwith

anopenheartandanopenmind.AsI’vementioned,workingintheRecords

isanentirelypersonaldecision.Onlyyouknowwhatkindsofpracticeswill

bestsupportyourspiritualgrowthandauthorityandwhenyouarereadyfor

them. The Lords of the Records understand this perfectly, and they honor

yourdecisions.

CHAPTERTHREE

ThePathwayPrayerProcess

ThePathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsisa

procedure that allows you to be in conscious relationship with the Akashic

Recordsinordertodevelopyourspiritualawareness.Asitsnamesuggests,

it is a vibrational “pathway” constructed by the words and sounds of the

prayer.This Pathway Prayerservesas anenergeticbridge,a directrouteof

access,totheHeartoftheAkashicRecords.

As you speak the Opening Prayer, the energetic vibrations from the sounds

ofitsspecificwordsandphrasesconstructabridgeofLightthatallowsyou

to safely shift from your ordinary human consciousness into the Divine

universal consciousness. Then later, as you speak the Closing Prayer, your

consciousnessshiftsbackuntilyouare“youroldself”again.

Since the day I received the Pathway Prayer from my Akashic Records, I

haveneverbeenafraid.Ihavehadnofearofexploringortestingtheprayer

or the Pathway Prayer Process on myself or my Akashic students. I always

havehad,andcontinuetohave,adeepcommitmenttosharewithothersany

spiritual resources that have been beneficial to me, my students, and my

clients. I believe that the Pathway Prayer came to me because I have the

willingnesstotakeitasfarasIcaninordertoseewhatgoodwillcomefrom

it. I know that my personal combination of curiosity, willingness, and a

desire to serve make me a likely candidate. I also know, however, that if I

haddeclinedtheopportunity,theprayerwouldhavebeengiventosomeone

else, because now is the time in humanity’s development for the Universal

HearttoopenandtheUniversalSoultolead—throughtheopenheartofeach

personontheplanet—totheunificationandelevationofall.

When you read the Pathway Prayer, you will note that its language is

traditionallyChristian.Sincethismightbeasensitiveissueforsomepeople,

I’dliketotakeamomenttoexplainthewordsandtheircontext.Theprayer

cametomeinthemidwesternUnitedStates,intheWesternHemisphereof

theworld.Thewordsreflectthemostfamiliarlanguageandunderstandings

of this region in order to make the prayer as accessible as possible to the

general population. God is a common identifying word for the Divine

Presenceinthispartof the world. And when I use the words Holy Spirit, I

am referring to the Spirit of God, as opposed to any individualized

personalityorpersonificationoftheGodForce.

BelowyouwillfindanannotatedversionofthePathwayPrayerthatyouwill

usetoaccessandreadyourownRecords. Theannotationsexplainnot only

themeaningoftheprayerbutwhathappensasyousayeachline.Seesection

entitled“PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecords

When Reading for Yourself,” you’ll find a version of this prayer that is

reprinted without notes. That is the version you can bookmark and use to

openyourownRecordsinthefuture.Fornow,though,itwillbemostuseful

foryouto read the annotated version first, so you can learn the process for

reading your own Records. (In the next chapter, we will look at the prayer

you will use to do Akashic readings for others. It varies only slightly from

theprayerbelow.)

Once you have read and understood the prayer, you will be ready to open

your Records for the first time. You won’t ask any questions at that time;

you’llsimplysitintheenergyforseveralminutes,acclimatetothefeeling,

and observe. Then, after you close your Records, I’ll guide you through an

exerciseduringwhichyou’llopenyourRecordsagainandaskaquestion.

UnderstandingthePathwayPrayerProcess:ReadingforYourself

ThePathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecords

OpeningPrayer

Whenreadingforyourself,saythispartaloud:

1. AndsowedoacknowledgetheForcesofLight,

2. Askingforguidance,direction,andcouragetoknowtheTruth

3. asitisrevealedforourhighestgoodandthehighestgoodof

4. everyoneconnectedtous.

In the first line of the prayer, both your finite being (the person you are in

thislifetime)andyourinfinitebeing(youreternalsoul)arecallingforthand

aligningwiththehigherrealmsofLight.Insodoing,youareestablishinga

connection to the Akashic Records through a vertical pillar of Light. This

connection begins about eighteen inches above your crown, at your eighth

chakra.Thischakra,whichisalsoknownasthesoulchakra,isthepointof

interfacebetweenthesoulplaneandthephysicalplane.AstheLightpasses

throughyoureighthchakraanddescendstoyourseventh,itstartstobecome

denserandgatherform.BythetimetheLightreachesyourseventhchakra,

its vibration is dense enough that you are able to discern it as the unique

vibrationalRecordofyourindividualsoul.

In Lines 2 through 4, you are asking for three things: guidance, direction,

and the courage to fearlessly and willingly receive the Truth (not

predictions)tothebestofyourabilityandforeveryone’shighestgood.

5. OhHolySpiritofGod,

6. Protectmefromallformsofself-centeredness,

7. anddirectmyattentiontotheworkathand.

Fear, self-importance, and self-seeking (seeking validation and approval to

bolster a flailing self) are your greatest detractors in the Records. They

magnetizedistractionsand diminish yourabilityto holdsteadyinthe Light

and receive information. As you speak Lines 5 through 7, the Holy Spirit

helpsyoushiftyourattentionawayfromyourselfandyourperformance,and

helps you focus on the reading. Not allowing yourself to be distracted by

personal concerns actually becomes the protection mentioned in Line 6,

becauseifyourfocusisappropriatewhileyou’reintheRecords,there’sno

chance of falling prey to outside influences. You’ll be immune to anything

that is not of the Light as long as you remain in a mode of service to the

person whose Records you are reading. (Right now, you are reading for

yourself.Inthefuture,however,youcouldbereadingforsomeoneelse.)

Keeping your attention focused on the reading also keeps you grounded in

the present, which holds you steady in the pillar of Light and allows the

informationandthereadingtoflow.

8. HelpmetoknowmyselfintheLightoftheAkashicRecords,

9. ToseemyselfthroughtheeyesoftheLordsoftheRecords,

10. AndenablemetosharethewisdomandcompassionthattheMasters,

Teachers,

11. andLovedOnesofmehaveforme.

AsyousayLines8through11aloud,youareaskingtheHolySpirittohelp

youseeyourselfasyouareseen,known,andlovedintheAkashicRecords.

Youareusingthewordsmyselfandmebecauseyouarereferringtoyourself

aswhoyouareeverydayinthephysicaldimension.

It’s important to have a clear idea of who you are dealing with as you

navigatetheRecords.Thisisagoodtimeinourprocesstoexaminewhothe

LordsoftheRecords,theMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesare,aswellas

theirrolesandresponsibilitieswithintheAkasha.

TheLordsoftheRecords

The Lords of the Records are a group of Light Beings who work at the

universal level, rather than with individual souls. Light Beings are

nonphysical beings that are involved at every level of awareness. They

invigorate and generate a higher quality of Light in every corner of our

Universe.Overtime,thishigherqualityofLighttranslatesintoanimproved

quality of life for all humans. It also affords greater potential for

understandingthehighertruthsaboutoneselfandothers.

The Lords of the Records are responsible for maintaining the integrity and

incorruptibilityoftheAkashicRecords.Assuch,theydecidewhomayand

may not access the Records. They also decide what information will be

revealedduringaparticularreading.Oncetheymakethatdecision,theygive

theinformationtotheMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesofthesoulwhois

seekingguidance.Orsometimestheywithholdinformationifitwouldn’tbe

beneficial or the timing isn’t right. That’s why we sometimes don’t get

answerswhenweaskparticular questions. (If you’ve got ten this far in the

book,theLordsoftheRecordshavedeterminedthatnowisthetimeforyou

toaccesstheAkashicRecords.)

TheMasters

TheMastersarealsoagroupofLightBeings.LiketheLordsoftheRecords,

theyhaveneverbeeninphysicalbodies.ButunliketheLords,whoworkat

theuniversallevel,theyworkwithindividualsouls.YourparticularMasters

havebeenwithyousinceyoursoul’sinceptionandareresponsibleforyour

soul’songoinggrowthanddevelopment.Inotherwords,theyareresponsible

forgettingyouonthepathandkeepingyouthere.Atyoursoul’sinception,

togetherwithyourMastersyouchosetheplanforyoursoulthroughouttime:

“My soul will learn these specific lessons as it becomes aware of itself as

God.”Basedonthelessonsyoursoulchosetoexperience,yourMasterswill

calluponcertainTeachersandLovedOnestosupportyourmasteryofthose

lessonsinvarious situations andlifetimes.So, depending onthelesson you

areworkingonatanygiventime,whenyouopenyourRecordstodiscussit,

yourMasterswillcalluponjusttherightTeachersandLovedOnesthatare

suitedtohelpyoubest.JustasyoucanhavemorethanoneMaster,aMaster

canhavemorethanonesoulinitscharge.

TheTeachers

The Teachers may or may not have been in physical bodies before. Unlike

your Masters, your Teachers are not with you throughout your soul’s

existence. Instead, they are lesson specific: each one only stays with you

onlyforaslongasittakesyoutolearnaparticularlessonandintegratethe

consciousness of that Teacher—whether that’s a certain period during a

singlelifetimeoraspanofseveralincarnations.Onceyouhavelearnedthe

lesson and integrated the consciousness of that Teacher or Teachers, it will

moveontoworkwithothersouls.

IfyourTeacherseverwereinphysicalform,theymayhavebeen“ordinary

folks” when they lived on earth. Or they may have been “biggies,” such as

JesusorBuddhaorMotherTeresa.Eitherway,yourAkashicTeachersprefer

to remain unidentified because they don’t want to foster your dependence

uponthem—ortheirearthlyidentities.Asyou’llreadnext,thisholdstruefor

the Loved Ones as well. Since the Akashic Records are meant to be a

pathway to spiritual and emotional maturity, the job of your Masters,

Teachers, and Loved Ones is to help you develop a reliance on the Divine

essence and energy of the Records, rather than on a particular being or

identity.

TheLovedOnes

The Loved Ones are people you knew in this lifetime but who are now

deceased.Althoughtheyarecommittedtoyoursoul’sgrowthandevolution,

yourLovedOnesarenotnecessarilyconnectedtoyouonanemotionallevel.

Instead,theymayhavebeendistantrelativesoracquaintanceswhowatched

you from afar while they were alive but who, after they died, chose to

activelysupportandserveyou.LikeyourTeachers,yourLovedOnesprefer

not to be identified, so you don’t become dependent on them as the

personalitiesyouknewinthislifetime.However,theywillrevealthemselves

during a reading if they feel that your knowing they’re around will support

you in that moment. Even when they do come forward, though, they never

conductthereading.It’smoreliketheyjuststepforwardtosayhi,andthen

stepbackagain.(Image3.1)

Image3.1

Every person has Akashic Loved Ones—even souls whose earthly bodies

died at birth or only lived for a very short time. In such cases, previously

deceasedmembersofthatsoul’sancestralline—a grandparent,forexample

—willfilltheroleofthatperson’sLovedOne.

NowthatweknowwhowillbemeetingusintheRecords,let’sreturntothe

(ForacondensedversionofthePathwayPrayerProcess,seetheAppendix)

At this point, you may be wondering how angels, saints, spirit guides, and

other Light Beings you may have heard about or experienced relate to the

AkashicRecords.SincetheAkashaistheAllThatIs—theprimarysubstance

from which everything originates—Light Beings such as angels and saints

existwithintheAkasha.Yettheyresidein,andaresupportedby,adifferent

realmfromtheAkashicRecords.ThoughtheirenergyexistsintheAkasha,

theseparticularLightBeingsarenotdirectlyaccessiblethroughtheAkashic

Records;thisisbecausetheirworkisdifferentfromtheworkoftheMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnes.

As I said earlier, the role of the Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones is to

supportusintakingpersonalresponsibilityforourlives.Asweworkinthe

Akashic Records, the power and energy of the Records move through us;

thenwetaketheinformationandclaritywereceiveanduseittotakecareof

ourselves. So in a sense, we work in the Records to learn to “parent”

ourselves. Conversely, when we call upon angels, saints, and other Light

Beings to ask for their help and protection, we hand the power and

responsibility to them, and they do the caretaking for us. Whichever we

choosetodo,it’sawin-winsituation,since whatdo youthinksupportsthe

entire realm of the angels and all other Light Beings? That’s right: the

Akasha—theAllThatIs!

AngelsandSaints

In what ways do the angels and saints differ from the Akashic Masters,

Teachers,andLovedOnes?TheangelsaresimilartotheAkashicMastersin

thatbothgroupsworkdirectlywithindividuals.Thedifferencebetweenthe

two groups, however, is that while the Akashic Masters do not have

individual identities, the angels have very specific identities, personalities,

and powers. So an individual can call upon a particular angel—such as

MichaelorRaphaelorAriel—andaskthatangeltouseitsuniquepowersto

help with a specific need. While anyone can ask the angels for help at any

time, some people who are highly clairvoyant can access the angelic realm

andhavewhatwemightcall“two-wayconversations”withtheangels.

The saints function much like the Akashic Teachers. Whereas the Teachers

mayor maynothavehad physical bodiesandare most oftenunidentifiable

in the Records, all of the saints once lived on Earth and have specific

identities and roles. In the same way that people seek the help of specific

angels,theyseekthehelpofspecificsaints.

ReadingYourAkashicRecordsfortheFirstTime

NowthatyouunderstandthePathwayPrayerProcess,youarereadytoopen

your Records. First, prepare yourself by finding a quiet place where you’re

sureyouwon’tbeinterrupted.Next,getyourselfcenteredandgrounded.The

best way to get centered and grounded when preparing to work in the

Records is to use the Pillar of Light meditation (see section entitled

“Opening Meditation: The Pillar of Light”). This particular meditation will

bringyouintoastateofreasonablebalancewithinyourselfandintoasolid

stateofbalancewithinyourenvironment.

Whenyoufinishthemeditation,takeafewdeepbreathsandbegintofocus

yourattentionontheworkathand.ReadtheOpeningPrayeron,Seesection

entitled“PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecords

When Reading for Yourself” as instructed. Don’t ask any questions

immediatelyafteryousay,“TheRecordsarenowopen.”Instead,justsitfor

a while and notice what is happening. Since your first experience in the

Recordswillbeentirelynewandunique,trynottojudgeit.Knowthatyou’ll

havetheperfectexperiencebasedonwhoyouareandwhatyouneedinthe

moment.RememberthattheLordsoftheRecordshaveknownandlovedyou

sinceyoursoulwasborn.Therefore,trustthattheyhavetoldyourMasters,

Teachers, and Loved Ones precisely the best way to welcome you to the

Records.

After spending about fiveor ten minutes in your Records, read the Closing

Prayer on as instructed. You may want to ground yourself afterward. Then

take a little time to contemplate your experience and/or write down a few

notesabout it.(AsImentionedearlier,the reasonforgroundingyourself is

togetrefocusedonthe physicalearthandinyoureverydaylife, soyouare

fullypresenttowhatishappeningaroundyou.)

TheDifferenceBetweentheAkashicRecordsandIntuition

AfteraccessingtheirAkashicRecordsfor thefirsttime,newstudentsoften

have questions about the difference between receiving information in the

Recordsandlisteningtoone’sintuition.Commonquestionsinclude:

• IsthereadifferencebetweenopeningmyRecordstogetinformationand

askingmyintuitionforinformation?

• Ifthereisadifference,whatisit?

• “Isonewaybetterthantheother?”

Theshortanswerisyes,thereisadifference.Youcanexperienceitfirsthand

inthefollowingexercise.

Exercise:TheAkashicRecordsandIntuition

Part1:AccessYourIntuition

• Thinkofaquestionthat’sbeenonyourmindalotlately—somethingrelevant

and“alive”inyourliferightnow.Asyouformulateyourquestion,remember

thataskinghow,what,orwhywillgetyouamorecompleteanswerthanasking

ayes-or-noquestion.

• Writeyourquestiononacleansheetofpaper,leavingplentyofroombelowit

torecordananswer.

• Now,accessyourintuitionandaskyourquestion.(Ifthewordintuition

intimidatesyou,thencallitsomethingelse.ThinkofitasyourHigherSelf,

yourinnerwisdom,yourinnervoice,yourgutfeeling—anythingthatenables

youto“tunein”andreceiveananswertoyourquestion.)Eitherwritethe

answerasitcomestoyou,orgetyouranswerfirstandwriteitlater.

Part2:AccessYourAkashicRecords

• Oncetheanswerfromyourintuitionfeelscomplete,turnbackto,Seesection

entitled“PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecords

WhenReadingforYourself”andsaythePathwayPrayertoaccessyour

AkashicRecords.Afteryousay,“TheRecordsarenowopen,”askyour

Masters,Teachers,andLovedOnestheverysamequestionyouaskedyour

intuition.Again,eitherwritetheanswerasyoureceiveitorgetyouranswerfirst

andwriteitlater.

• Whenyoufinishwriting,gobackandcomparebothanswers.Aretheyalmost

thesame?Noticeablydifferent?Doeseitheranswersurpriseyou?Whyorwhy

not?

Afterdoingthisexerciseinclass,mystudentssharesomeinterestingstories.

Some of them say they received similar answers from their intuition and

theirRecords.Manymoreofthem,however,saytheygotdifferentanswers

—different,yetnotconflicting.Tohelpillustratethispoint,herearethereal-

lifeanswersJuliegoteachtimesheaskedherquestion.

Julie:Whenmyhusband,Adrian,firsttookuparchery,Ithoughtitwaskind

ofcool.It’sasportthatrequiresfocus,precision,andskill,anditseemed

likesomethinghewouldbegoodat.Well,hedidgetgoodatit—very

quickly.Soon,though,hewasn’tsatisfiedwithjustshootinghisarrowsat

paperbull’seyes.Hewantedtogohuntingfordeer.Iwasshocked,

appalled,incredulous!Howcouldhehuntsuchbeautifulcreatures?Who

wouldwanttokillBambi,letalonecookhimupandeathim?Ifeltso

conflicted.Ididn’twanttodiscouragemyhusband,yetI“conscientiously

objected”tohiszealoverwhatIviewedashissenselessnewpassion.

Adriantookhisfirsthuntingtripthisweekend.Ashedroveaway,Imade

myselffeelbetterbytellingmyselfthathewasn’tskilledenoughtogetadeer

onhisfirsttimeout—well,darnifhedidn’tgetoneyesterday.Somy

questiontodaywasano-brainer:I’msouncomfortablewithmyhusband’s

deerhunting.Whatisbehindmydiscomfort?

As instructed, Julie wrote down her question. Then she asked her intuition

forananswer,andhereiswhatshegot.

Julie’sintuition:Thereasonyou’resouncomfortablewithyourhusband’s

deerhuntingisthatyoucouldneverkillananimalforsport.Youview

animalsassacredcreatures,eachwithitsownplaceandpurposeonthis

planet.Howcouldanyonehideforhoursinastandoftreesjustwaitingfora

deertopass,andthentakeitslifeinaninstant?...Adriansayshismotive

wasneithermaliciousnorselfish:hetookthedeerforitsmeat.Andashe

thankedtheanimalforgivingitslife,hepromisedhewouldn’twasteit.He

alsobelieveshewashelpingtocontrolthedeerpopulationsothathundreds

ofdeerdon’tstarvethiswinter.Butasvalidandjustifiableasallofthese

reasonsmaybe,killingadeerwithabowandanarrowisjustsomething

youwouldn’tdo.Besides,youdidn’teatvenisonbefore,andyou’recertainly

notgoingtostartnow.

After thanking her intuition, Julie opened her Akashic Records. Then she

askedthesamequestionofherMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes.

Julie:I’msouncomfortablewithmyhusband’sdeerhunting.Whatisbehind

mydiscomfort?

As Julie sat listening to her Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones, they

explained what was going on. And pardon the expression, but they hit the

bull’seye!Hereiswhattheysaid.

Julie’sMTLOs:Comeonnow,Julie.Don’tkidyourself.Youeatchicken,

youeatturkey,youeatfish—you’deatsushieverydayifyoucould.Where

doyouthinkallofthatmeatcomesfrom?—andsomeofitkilledmuchless

humanelythanthewayinwhichyourhusbandkilledhisdeer....Your

objectiontoAdrian’shuntingisn’tallaboutkillingandeatinganimals.Let’s

lookatyourdiscomfortfromadifferentperspective—notinthecontextof

hunting,perse,butinthecontextofhowhuntingaffectsyourrelationship.

What’sbeenoneofyourbiggestcomplaintslately?

Julie silently answered that she and her husband hadn’t been spending as

muchtimetogetherasshewouldlike.

Julie’sMTLOs:Yes.Youwishthatyouandyourhusbandweren’tsobusy,

andthatyoucouldseeeachothermoreoften.AndregardingAdrian,whatis

oneofyourbiggestfears?

Julie answered that her biggest fear of all is that something will happen to

Adrianandshewilllosetheloveofherlife.

Julie’sMTLOs:Yes,that’sthebiggie...thatyouwilllosetheloveofyour

life.Nowcanyouseewhat’sbehindyourdiscomfort?YoufeelthatAdrian

hassomanyhobbiesandintereststhatalreadytakehimawayfromyou,and

nowhe’sfoundyetanotheronetolosehimselfin.Notonlywilldeerhunting

takehimawayfromyouforlongstretchesatatime,itcouldalsoputhimin

harm’sway,sothisiskickingupyourfears:Whatifhehasacaraccident

whilehe’sdrivingallthatdistance?Whatifhefallsoutofatreestandand

badlyhurtshimself?Whatifnoonefindshim,andhedoesn’thavehis

phone?Whatifanotherhuntershootshimwithanarrowandmaimshim—or

worse?...Doyouseeit,Julie?Yourdiscomforthassolittletodowiththe

deerandsomuchmoretodowithyourfear.Youdon’twanttoloseyour

“dear”Adrian,notevenforaweekend.Youdon’twanttowastetimeaway

fromeachother,especiallyona“senselessnewpassion”thatcouldthreaten

yourhusband’ssafety.

Andspeakingofsenselessnewpassions:thismansupportsyou,Julie.In

everywaypossible,he’syourbiggestfanandcheerleader.He’sbehindyou

inallofyourinterestsandhobbiesevenwhentheymakehimuncomfortable.

Sowhynotsupporthimthewayhesupportsyou?Youdon’talwayshaveto

agreewithwhathe’sdoing.Butdon’tmakehimfeelbadaboutthisnew

interestbecauseit’sreallynotaboutthed-e-e-rasmuchasitisaboutthed-

e-a-r.Sharewithyourhusbandyourconcernsabouthissafety,andmake

himpromisetokeephiscellphoneinhispocket—fullycharged.Andin

additiontosharingyourconcerns,acknowledgethetruthbehinditall.You

lovehimdearly,andyouloveyourtimetogether,andyoumisshimwhenhe

isaway.Butbynow,youalsoknowthis:nohobbyorpassionthateitherof

youhaswilleverovershadowyourpassionforeachother.Especiallyif

you’rebothhappyasindividuals,you’llbeaveryhappycouple.Afterall

thatyoutwohavegonethroughinordertobetogether,nobody’sgoing

anywhere,andthatisthetruth.Justknowitandrelax.

So there you have them: two very clear examples of the answers Julie got

from her intuition and the Records. Notice how her second answer didn’t

conflict with the first. It just addressed the situation from a different

perspectiveandfilledinmoreofthedetails.WhileJulie’sintuitionanswered

the question from a narrower and more immediate perspective, the answer

shegotfromherRecordswasfromabroaderandmore“historical”context.

(Had it been necessary, that historical context could have been another

lifetime. For this particular answer, however, the historical context was a

fewdecades.)

Let’s look at the two methods separately, starting with intuition. Intuitive

information is inherent within the self. It lives within the internal Divine

spark. It’s you making contact with that spark within yourself, and the

answersandinformationthatyoureceiverelatetowhatyou’reexperiencing

or feeling in a particular moment. Since you are only able to view things

from your limited human perspective, what you receive is in the here and

now—inthismomentandinthislifetime.Sotheanswersthatyougetsolve

immediateproblemsorhelpyouunderstandthose“gutfeelings”orthoughts

that come to you like “lightning bolts out of the blue.” But depending on

how strongly you rely on your intuition, those answers can be unclear and

erraticattimes—orevennonexistent.Andwhentheydoexist,youmaynot

knowwheretheycamefrom,sotheywon’tnecessarilyeffectlastingchanges

basedonalargerknowing.

Still, there’s a very important place for intuition. It’s your intuition that

compels you to turn here to avoid an accident or a traffic jam. Or it says,

Don’t leave home just yet, so you can catch an important phone call. Or

sometimes you have a gut feeling that says, Look sharp! This needs your

attention now! and it helps you avoid a person or a situation that’s not for

yourhighestgood.

Now let’s look at the Records. Akashic wisdom comes from outside of, or

beyond,theself.It’syoutappingintoDivineconsciousness,sotheanswers

andinformationyou getarefrom aperspectivethat spanstheUniverseand

covers every lifetime that your soul has ever lived. So when you get an

intuitive “hit” about something whose reason may not be clear—or

alternatively, if you don’t get an intuitive hit at all—you can access your

Recordsforclarity.Whenyoudo,yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes

will provide the information that will help you wrap your head around the

issue or question, and see it from different angles. And with that new

informationandperspective,you’llbeabletoshiftyourthinkingandhandle

things more effectively, and in many cases, change them dramatically and

forgood.

OnewaytothinkaboutintuitionandtheRecordsistoimaginethatyou’rean

actor on a stage. When you’re using your intuition, you’re standing in the

beam of a single, focused spotlight. Though the beam illuminates you in

your current lifetime, it doesn’t light up the rest of the stage (aka, all the

lifetimes your soul has lived). However, when you access your Akashic

Records,the“Divine Director”flipsa switchandshedsLight onwhat’sall

aroundyou.Suddenly,youcanseesomuchmore!Youcanseewhoelseis

involved in a particular “scene” (karmic issue), and how their words and

actionshavebeenaffectingyou—bothinthiscurrentlifetimeandinothers,

if applicable. In that moment of illumination, you’re then free to decide if

you’dliketochangethescenebychangingyournextlinesandactions.

Just as the Akashic realm supports angels, saints, and other Light Beings

who have their own roles and purposes, the Akashic Records support your

intuition, which also has its own role and purpose. Put another way, if the

AkashicRecordswereanoceanofinformation,yourintuitiveinklingswould

belikesingledropsofwaterfromthatdeep,wideocean—comingfromand

containing the same contents as the ocean, yet much smaller in size and

scope.

CommonQuestionsandConcernsabouttheAkashicRecords

When people first start working in the Akashic Records, they sometimes

havedoubtsaboutthemselves,aswellasabouttheprocess.“Canitreallybe

this simple?” they ask. “How can I be sure I’m in the Records? Do I even

have a right to be in the Records? Am I worthy enough? Gifted enough?

Intuitiveenough?Doesthe information Igetreallycome from theMasters,

Teachers, and Loved Ones ... or is it me just making stuff up?” Let’s take

someofthosequestionsoneatatime.

Canitreallybethissimple?

First of all, yes. Your part of the process—saying the Pathway Prayer with

conscious and deliberate intent—really is that simple. But don’t forget that

accessing the Akashic Records is not a solo endeavor. It involves you, the

Forces of Light, the Holy Spirit of God, the Lords of the Records, and the

Masters,Teachers,andLovedOnes.Whenyoushowupanddoyourpart,all

of these Light Beings show up, too. And they literally move heaven and

earthtohelpyoushiftyourconsciousness and access the Akashic Records.

So your willingness and sincere desire for guidance, backed by a host of

heavenly helpers, are your assurance that once you say, “The Records are

nowopen,”youwillbeintheRecordseverytime.Itreallyisthatsimple.

DoIhavearighttobeintheRecords?AmIworthyenough?

Again,theanswersareyesandyes.Everypersononthisplanethasarightto

access the Records because every person is a sacred child of God whose

nameiswritteninGod’sBookofLife—theAkashicRecords.However,not

everypersonhasaninterestoradesiretoaccesstheAkashicRecords.AsI

mentioned earlier, if you were drawn to this book—and now, if you have

read this far—it’s because the Lords of the Records called you “collect,

long-distance” and you accepted the charge—so consider it your engraved

invitation.

AmIgiftedorintuitiveenough?

As you learned from Julie’s example, the information you get from the

RecordscomesfromaDivineconsciousnessthatisbeyondandgreaterthan

yourintuition,soitdoesn’treallymatterifyouconsideryourselfintuitiveor

not. This is not to say that after you’ve been working in the Records for a

time,yourintuitionwon’tgetalotstronger.Itusuallydoes,sinceworkingin

the Records helps you strengthen your connection to the Light, which

increasesyourreceptivitytoDivineguidancebothinandoutoftheRecords.

It is to say that intuitive ability or a particular gift is not a prerequisite for

working in the Records, nor will it necessarily make you astronger reader.

Whatwillmakeyouastrongerreaderisyourabilitytogetyourselfasfarout

ofthewayaspossible,soyoucanplaceallofyourattentiononthereading

andontheguidancethatyouarereceiving.Whenyoucanletthatguidance

flow through you without impediment, that will be the best gift you can

possiblygiveorhave.

ReceivingtheHelpofYourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes

If you’ve said the Pathway Prayer with conscious and deliberate intent,

you’re in the Records. If you’ve gotten yourself out of the way and are

getting loving guidance rather than personal thoughts or judgments, you’re

gettingyourinformationfromtheRecords.Itreallyisthatsimple—butjust

incase youneedmore reassurance,hereare somequestionsyoucan askof

yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesrightnow.SaythePathwayPrayer

See section entitled “Pathway Prayer Process to Access the Heart of the

Akashic Records When Reading for Yourself” to open your Akashic

Records;thenaskthesequestionsoneatatime:

• WhatwouldhelpmebemorereceptivetotheAkashicRecords?

• WhatwouldhelpmebemorereceptivetomyMasters,Teachers,andLoved

Ones?

• Whatiscurrentlyblockingmyreceptivity,andhowcanitbereleased?

Again,youcanwriteyouranswersasyoureceivethem,oryoucangetyour

answers first and write them later. Then when you’re finished writing, you

can close your Records right away or you can leave them open and do the

followingmeditationtostrengthenyourexperienceofbeinginyourAkashic

Records.

As you did for the Pillar of Light meditation, find yourself a comfortable

chair in a quiet room. Seat yourself squarely with your back straight and

yourfeetonthefloor,andplaceyour handspalms-upinyourlaporonthe

armsofthechair.Thenreadthroughthefollowingmeditationatapacethat

feelscomfortabletoyou.

Meditation

Ask your Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones to help you have the

experienceofbeinginyourownAkashicRecords....Asyouenteryourown

Records,begintoscanthespacearoundyou...lefttoright,thenrighttoleft

... top to bottom, then bottom to top.... Make a slight movement with your

physicalbodytogetasenseoftheBodyofLightthatsurroundsyouinyour

ownRecords.

As you sit in your own Records, register the presence of your Masters,

Teachers, and Loved Ones. Sometimes their presence is a feeling, such as

loveorpeaceorstillness.Sometimesit’sasensationofwarmthorsoftness.

Sometimesit’saqualityofilluminatingLight.Andsometimesit’saquality

ofsupport,whichcanbeeitherstrongorsubtle.

Your awareness of your own self in your Records opens a new dimension

and expands the space so that there’s plenty of room for you. Take some

time to scan this dimension: travel in through the crown of your head and

movedown...pastyourthirdeye...pastyourthroat...andallthewaydown

toyourheart.

While you are scanning your physical body, the Light of the Akasha is

movingthroughyou.Itextendsfromyourcrowntoyourroot,soitcanserve

asaforcefieldthatholdstheenergyinplace.

Though the Akasha fills your entire physical body, its primary region is

between your crown and your heart. Place yourself at your crown and look

downtothefloorofyourheartcenter.Itisaclearlake—amirroredplatform

—the Akasha’s anchoring point within you. As the Light of the Akasha

makes contact with this platform, it becomes the gateway to your inner

realms. The Light of your individual soul bounces off this platform and

travelsbackupthroughthepillarofLight....SeeyourLightbeingintensified

andstrengthenedbytheLightoftheAkasha.

Soon after taking my first Akashic class, I realized that my Akashic

Recordsworkwouldbethefoundationforallofmywork.Overthepast

several years, with the help of my Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones

(whomIaffectionatelycallmyBFFs—myBestFriendsForever),Ihave

worked in my Records to do readings for myself and others, to analyze

thefengshuienergyofhundredsofhomesandbusinesses,andtowritea

fengshuibookandalmostfiftychildren’sbooks.

DifferentUsesfortheAkashicRecords

There are many valuable ways in which people use the Records to benefit

their lives. Some ways work particularly well for some people, while other

waysdon’tworksowellforthem,ifatall.Thefollowingexamplesprovide

some ideas for how you might work in the Records. Don’t forget that until

your transitional thirty-day grace period ends, it’s not helpful to mix your

Akashicreadingswithothersystemsordisciplines.

ReadingforIndividuals

As you know, you can read your own Akashic Records or the Records of

otherpeople.Whenopeninganotherperson’sRecords,youmusthavehisor

her consent. Use that person’s current legal name as described under

guideline2,Seesectionentitled“Useyourcurrentlegalnamewhenopening

your Records.”, and use the version of the Pathway Prayer that’s provided

See section entitled “Pathway Prayer Process to Access the Heart of the

AkashicRecordsWhenReadingforYourself.”

ReadingtheRecordsofAnimalsorPets

Reading the Records of an animal or a pet can yield helpful information

aboutitstemperamentanditsneeds.Buthowdoyougetpermissiontoread

theanimal’sRecords?Justaskit,anditwilltellyou!Sitwiththeanimalfor

a moment and tell it what you’d like to do. If the animal doesn’t want to

haveits Recordsread,itmightturn awayfromyou orleave theroom,orit

mightcloseitseyes.Ifitagreestograntpermission,however,itmightlook

intoyoureyes,move closer,orsitnearyou oron yourlap.Iftheanimal is

not nearby, its owner can give you permission to open its Records. If the

Oftenwhenapersonworkswithanimalsforalivingorhasastrongaffinity

Read on to learn about several other ways in which you could work in the

Records.

ReadingtheRecordsofaHome

Ifyouhavethepermissionofthepersonwhosenameisonthemortgageor

thelease,youmayreadtheRecordsofthathometolearnaboutsuchthings

as its history, its purpose, and its energy. In the case of a home that’s for

sale,iftheownerhasplaceditonthemarketandhassignedacontractwitha

realtor,thatownerisessentiallysaying,“Thishomeisopenforviewingon

everylevel.”Therefore,youmayopenthehome’sAkashicRecordswithout

obtaining permission. However, if the listing has expired or the home has

been sold to a new owner, “public viewing” is no longer possible, and you

must once again obtain the owner’s permission to open the Records of that

home.WhenopeningtheRecordsof a home,useitsfulladdress,including

street,cityortown,state,andzipcode.

While it would make sense to most of us that an animal would have a

“listing”intheAkashicRecordsbecauseithasanobviouslifeforce,itmay

be more challenging to read the Records of a home, which seems inert and

lifelessbycomparison.Everyhomedoeshaveitsownenergyandpresence,

however,whichfeelsmoreliketheenergyofanareaoflandratherthanthe

energyofahumanorananimal.Evenso,everyhome’senergycanberead

anddecipheredintheAkashicRecords.

IfyouopentheRecordsofahome,youmightbeabletodetectsomeofits

ideals,potentials,andprobabilities.Youalsomight getanideaof howthat

home is able to support its inhabitants and what it cannot accommodate.

However,ifyoucan’tseemtoreadahome’sAkashicRecords,don’tworry.

Reading the Records of a home is actually secondary to asking about that

homeinitsowner’sRecords.

ReadingtheRecordsofPublicMonuments,Buildings,Parks,Cities,Towns,

orAreasofLand

Information about objects, buildings, or places with publicly registered

names(the WashingtonMonument;Stonehenge;theSistine Chapel;Mt.St.

Helens; Galena, Illinois; Everglades National Park, Florida; Arapaho

National Forest, Colorado) may be freely accessed in the Records. One of

mystudentsoftenwonderedwhysherepeatedlyvisited,andfeltsoathome

in, the town of Banff. After opening the Akashic Records of Banff in

Alberta, Canada, she learned that she had lived a past life there that was

filled with love and purpose. Because of that information, her next trip to

Banffwasevenmorespecialthanallofthepreviousones.

AkashicRecordsreadingshavebeenacornerstoneofmytransitionfrom

nonprofit management and grant writing to birthing a quilt store in

Mississippi. It’s been very helpful to me to have that level of trust and

clearly.WhentheRecordsareopen,Iaminapostureoflistening.They

arepowerful,practical,real,sensible,andverysimple.

ReadingtheRecordsofaCompanyoraDepartmentwithinaCompany

Ifyouownabusiness,openingitsAkashicRecordscanyieldinformationon

how to choose and support your employees, how to make their working

environment the best it can be, and what actions would be most beneficial

forthecompanyataparticulartime.Toopenyourcompany’sRecords,use

itspubliclyregisteredname.

If you don’t own a company but are the official head of one of its

departments, you may open the Records of that department only. Use the

name of both the company and your specific department—for example: the

billing department of the Midwest Regional Sales office of GreenGrow

InternationalinDeerfield,Illinois.

ReadingtheRecordsofaPatientorClient

SomepeoplewhodoenergyworkliketoopentheRecordsofspecificclients

to request the best ways to assist them. As always, practitioners must have

each client’s permission and current legal name before opening his or her

Records. As an alternative, when getting permission is not possible,

practitioners can open their own Records and ask how to best support a

specific client or clients. This same thing can be done by teachers,

employers,orgroupleaderswhoareplanningaclassorameetingandwould

liketomaketheexperiencemosteffective.

UsingtheRecordstoCreate

Some people enjoy opening their Records before or during a creative

undertaking. For example, some people use the Records to write poems,

books, or music. Others sculpt, draw, or paint. Still others dance. This

method of using the Records varies according to individual needs and

personalities. For example, it’s difficult for some people to stay in the

Records for extended periods of time. So for them it’s easier to open the

Records, receive inspiration and guidance, close the Records, and then

create.Forothers,it’smoreadvantageoustoopentheRecords,askforhelp

andinspiration,andthenhangonfortheride!

UsingtheRecordstoLearn

Some people like to use the Records to learn about things at deeper levels.

Forexample,studentswhowanttotrulyunderstandasacredorcomplicated

text will read it with their Records open. This can be quite illuminating.

ReadingwithyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesislikereadingabook

inwhichsomeonehashighlightedthekeyconceptsandwrittengreatnotes

inthemargins—allforyouredification!

It’salsofuntostudyapainting,attendareligiousservice,orlistentomusic

withyourRecordsopen.Justmakesurethatthemusicissomethingmellow

or soothing like classical music, rather than jarring like acid rock. Also,

remembertocloseyourRecordswhenyou’refinishedstudyingorlistening.

***

Learning to work in the Records is an exploration of possibilities. I

encourageyoutotryreadingtheRecordsofavarietyofpeople,places,and

thingsinordertodiscoverwhatworksbestforyou.Trynottocompareyour

differentstrengthsandinterestswhenworkingintheRecords.

Now that you’ve read about several of the ways in which people use the

CHAPTERFOUR

ReadingtheAkashicRecordsforOthers

Sometimeswehumans,withourlimitedperspectivesforgetthetruthofwho

weare.Weforgetthatdespitewhatwethinkweseewhenweviewourselves

in the mirror, in truth we’re eternal beings of Light whose essence is

wholenessandwellnessandgoodness.

When you read other people’s Akashic Records, you are in the unique and

wonderfulpositionofremindingthemwhotheyare;oflettingthemglimpse

themselves as they are seen, known, and loved by God and their Masters,

Teachers, and Loved Ones. When people begin to see the Light in

themselves—and in others as well—they are able to let go of long-held

beliefsandperceptionsandreplacethemwithforgivenessandhealing.

As you may have already inferred, if you choose to read other people’s

Records,yourexperienceswillbedifferenteverytime.Notonlywillyouget

differentinformationforeachperson,thewaysinwhichyou’llreceiveand

deliver the information will be different every time as well. That’s because

an individual’s Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones know precisely what to

sayandhowtosayitinorderforthatpersontobestreceiveit.Soif“Jane”

is very visual, for example, her Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones might

show you an image or a scene that you can describe to her. That image or

scenemayormaynotmakesensetoyou,butdon’tbesurprisedifJanesays,

“Igetit!Yes!Thisallmakesperfectsense.”Theimportantthingsforyouto

rememberinthisinstancearetonotjudgetheinformationandtodeliveritin

the way you receive it. Once you do, the other person will then be free to

—Jean

Insomecases—especiallyiftheinformationyou’resharingduringareading

issensitiveoruncomfortable—youmayfindthatoneorbothofyoubeginto

putup some form of resistance.That’s okay. It’s only feartalking, and it’s

boundtohappensometimes.(That’s why weaskintheOpening Prayer for

“couragetoknowtheTruth.”)Thefirstthingyoubothneedtorememberis

thattheMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesarelovingBeingsofLightwho

only speak the truth, and whose only task during an Akashic reading is to

support a soul’s growth and enlightenment. That said, you can ask the

person’sMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnestohelpbothyouandtheother

person feel safe so that you are free to deliver—and he or she is free to

accept—the information and the guidance you’re receiving. It is perfectly

appropriate to pause during a reading and silently say the Opening Prayer

againtoreleaseanyfearanduncertainty,andtostrengthenyourconnection

to the Light. It’s also appropriate to pour yourselves some water or take a

fewdeepbreathstogetherinordertorelaxanyphysicaloremotionaltension

you’refeeling.Whateveryoudecidetodo,thepurposeofthisbriefpauseis

to interrupt the energetic pattern of fear and transform it into one of safety

andcomfort.

WhenopeningtheRecordsofanotherperson,you’llusethePathwayPrayer

Process, yet you’ll read the prayer slightly differently, and the process will

change a bit in order to include the other person. I’ll explain these

differences in the annotated prayer that follows. See section entitled

ThePathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsfor

Others

OpeningPrayer

Whenreadingforsomeoneelse,saythispartaloud:

2. Askingforguidance,direction,andcouragetoknowtheTruth

3. asitisrevealedforourhighestgoodandthehighestgoodof

4. everyoneconnectedtous.

In the first line of the prayer, you are calling forth and aligning with the

higher realms of Light on behalf of yourself and the other person. As you

acknowledge the Forces of Light, you (the reader) are establishing a

connection to the Akashic Records through a vertical pillar of Light, inthe

samewayyoudowhenyouarereadingforyourself.

In Lines 2 through 4, you are asking for the same three things you ask for

whenreadingforyourself—guidance,direction,andthecouragetofearlessly

and willingly receive the Truth (not predictions) to the best of your ability

to yourself. This brief, silent prayer is only meant to be “heard” by your

TipsonReadingforOthers

Remember, no one should be coerced into an Akashic reading. If you are

invited to give a reading, however, here are some things to know or do in

ordertomakethatreading—andeveryreading—thebestthatitcanbe.

Before...

• Ifyou’llbeconductingyourreadingsinperson,createaquietspaceinyour

homeorofficewhereyouandyourclientswillfeelsafeandcomfortable.Make

surethatyouwillnotbeinterruptedbycolleagues,familymembers,pets,or

otherdistractions.Ifyou’renotsurewhatkindofenvironmentwillbestsupport

yourreadings,here’saquestionyoucanaskinyourRecords:“HowcanI

establishandmaintainanenvironmentofsafetyforworkingintheRecords?”

• Ifyou’llbeconductingyourreadingsbyphone,makesurethatyourphone

batteryisfullycharged,andsetupanyrecordingequipmentinadvance.(Some

Akashicreadersliketorecordtheirsessionsandthensendatapeordigitalfile

totheirclients.Whethertorecordornotisentirelyuptoyou.)

• Ifyouwillbechargingafeeforareading,makesurethatthepaymentis

handledinadvancesothatattheappointedtimeyoucanplaceallofyour

energyandattentiononthereadingandthepersonbeingread.

• Asawaytoensurethatyourreadingsarefocusedandtheinformationflows

smoothly,askyourclientstopreparetheirquestionsinadvance.(Theydon’t

havetosupplyyouwiththeirquestionsinadvance;theyjusthavetoprepare

themforthemselves.)Iftheyaskyouwhatkindsofquestionsworkbest,explain

thathow,what,andwhyquestionsyieldthemostinformation,andtime-related,

predictivequestionsoronesrequiringyes-or-noanswersyieldtheleast

information,ifany.

• Remindyourselfthatthegoalsofeveryreadingaretodignifyandelevatethe

personbeingread;torevealthatperson’strueselfandpotentialasviewedinthe

AkashicRecords;andtoprovideclarity,direction,andhealing.

During...

• Doingreadingsforotherpeopleisaprivilegethatcomeswithresponsibility.

Especiallywhenyou’rereadingforsomeoneyouknow,usetheopportunityto

supportthepersonandnotsabotage,judge,orharm.(Inotherwords,itdoesn’t

matterwhatyouthinkofyoursister’sboyfriend.Keepyourthoughtsand

opinionstoyourself,anddeliveronlytheinformationthatyoursister’sMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnesprovide.)Beingabletotellthedifferencebetween

yourpersonalfeelingsandtheRecordsisaskillthatyouwilldevelopwith

practice.However,oneoftheclearestindicatorsthatyou’retangledupinyour

ownstuffisinsistingthatapersondowhatyousuggest—andthenbecoming

angryifheorsheresists.Anotherindicatoriswhenyoutakeyourfocusoffthe

personandbeginsharinginformationaboutyourselfandhowyoumanageda

similarsituation.Inthemomentthatthereadingbecomesaboutyouinanyway,

youhaveslippedoutoftheRecords.Ifthishappens,justpauseandsilently

rereadtheOpeningPrayer.Thiswillremedythesituation,andyou’llbeableto

proceedwiththereading.

• Ifapersonbeginsaskingquestionsaboutotherpeople—perhapswantingto

knowtheirthoughtsandmotivations,orhowtopersuadethemtobehavea

certainway—pauseandremindthepersonthatyouareintheRecordsofhisor

herindividualsoul.Therefore,if“Trixie”wantsinformationabout“Trudy,”the

onlyinformationyouwillgetwillbeinformationrelevanttoTrixie’spartinher

relationshipwithTrudy.

• Ifyoubegintofeelthatyou’veslippedoutoftheRecordsatanypoint—or

thatyounevergainedfullaccesseventhoughyousaidtheprayercorrectly—

silentlyasktheMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesforsupport.Or,asI

mentionedearlier,youcanrereadtheOpeningPrayertoyourselfasawayto

redirectyourfocusandstrengthenyourconnectiontotheLight.

• AsIalsomentionedearlier,whileyou’rereadingforanotherperson,thetwo

ofyouarebeingheldtogetherinaprotective“cocoon”ofLight.Soitwouldn’t

beunusualforyoutooccasionallyfeelanenergeticchargeifthepersongets

emotional.Don’tworryifthishappens.Sinceyou’llbeviewingthesituation

fromtheperspectiveoftheRecords,you’llknowrightawaythatyouarenot

meanttoexperienceorholdontothosefeelingsandemotions.Youaremerely

meanttounderstandthemsoyoucansupportthepersoninprocessingand

releasingthem.BythetimeyousaytheClosingPrayer,theemotionalcharge

willbegone,aswillyourenergeticconnectiontotheperson.Youwillnever

Developingan“AltitudeofConsciousness”

While giving Akashic readings for others, your goal is to fall in love with

each and every soul! This requires you to develop an “altitude of

consciousness”thatallowsyoutoviewthepersonsittingbeforeyouthrough

the higher and broader perspective of the Masters, Teachers, and Loved

Ones.Inotherwords,ifyoukeeplookingforandfollowingtheLightasyou

receive information about the person, the Light will continue to strengthen

andexpandasitmovesyoufromonetruthtoanother.

If you find yourself struggling during a reading to maintain an altitude of

consciousness, you can get help from the person’s Masters, Teachers, and

LovedOnesbyasking,“WhereistheLighthere?Pleaseshowme.Keepme

connectedtotheLightsoIcanhelpelevatethissoultoitsnext-bestversion

of itself—to its next-highest level of goodness.” Then be still while the

Masters,Teachers,andLovedOnesshowyouwhatyouneedtosee.

Ofcourse,maintaininganaltitudeofconsciousnessdoesnotjustapplywhen

you’rereadingforothers.It’sequallyimportanttomaintainthisperspective

when you’re reading for yourself. Do you hear criticism, sarcasm, or

judgment when you open your Akashic Records? Does the information

soundlesslikeyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesandmorelikeyour

ownself-talk?Thenasktobeshownthetruthaboutyourselfandtheanswers

you are seeking. Again, if you’re feeling resistance or if those negative

thoughts persist, know that there is nothing to fear. You’re surrounded by

Lightandlove,andyou’vebeenimbuedwiththecouragetoknowthetruth

—whichisalways,ultimately,helpfulandpositive.

Here is a meditation you can use to help you strengthen your altitude of

consciousness.OpenyourAkashicRecordsbeforebeginningthemeditation.

Thenreadthefollowingwordsslowly,pausingbetweenparagraphstoclose

youreyesandvisualizeeachsceneoridea.

MEDITATION

OpenyourawarenesstoyourrelationshipwithyourownAkashicRecords.

OpenyourselfuptothepresenceofyourownMasters,Teachers,andLoved

deepandsounshakablethatthere’snothingyoucandotoscarethemorpush

themaway.They’realwaysthereforyou.

FindoutfromyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOneshowtheyseeyouas

anagentfortheAkashicRecords—howtheyperceiveyourrelationshipwith

theRecordsandhowworkingintheRecordssupportsyou.

YouhavebeencalledintotheAkashaatthispointbecauseofwhoyouare.

Ask your Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones: “Why now? Why this

personality? Why this incarnation?” What dotheysay about the role of the

Akashic Records in the transformation of the planet at this time? How do

they see your participation, through the Records, in the transformation and

healingofthelifeforceontheplanetatthistime?

AllowyourselftobecomeawareofthepillarofLightthatisrainingdownall

aroundyou.TakeyourindividualpillarofLightandallowittomergewith

UsingtheAkashicRecordstoHealYourselfandOthers

CHAPTERFIVE

EnergyHealingintheAkashicRecords

Welcome to your next level of work in the Akashic Records. This level

involves deepening your understanding of how the Records help people

achieve healing. As we begin to explore energy healing in the Records, it

may be useful to review the meaning of the word heal: “to cause an

undesirable condition to be overcome; to restore to original purity or

integrity;toreturntoasoundstate.”Theseformsofhealingoccurnaturally

intheRecordsbecauseeveryAkashicreadingallowsustoseeourselvesas

weareseen, known, and loved by ourMasters, Teachers, and Loved Ones:

asessentiallypureandsound.Whenweseeourpurityandsoundnessduring

a reading and begin to know this truth about ourselves, our knowing then

becomesthefirststepinourhealing.Thishelpsusbegintorestoreourselves

to our original purity and integrity, to our original sound state—and in this

wayourhealingbegins.

Atthispointyoumaybeaskingyourself,Ifseeingmyselfdifferentlyisallit

takes to start healing, then why can’t I do it myself? Why do I need the

AkashicRecordstotellmewhoIam?IalreadyknowwhoIam.Theanswer

is both simple and complex. When we humans look at our lives, our

perceptions are limited both by and to our current physical bodies, having

our current earthly experiences in this current human lifetime. So from our

human perspective, we see illness and imperfection. We often feel that

something’s wrong or missing: that we are not “the whole enchilada.” Yet

whenwehaveachancetoviewourtrueessencefromtheperspectiveofthe

Records,weseeadifferentpicture.Byourverynatureasmanifestationsof

the Divine Source, our true essence is eternal wholeness, eternal wellness,

andeternalgoodness.Not onlyarewethe wholeenchilada,we’re“all that,

and a bag of chips”! At the soul level, this is always the case. As is often

said,weareDivineBeingsinphysicalbodieshavinghumanexperienceson

thisplanet.TheAkashicRecordsshedLightonthistruth,andtheyhelpus

rememberandinternalizeit,sowedon’thavetostaycaughtupinillusion.

IwasdiagnosedwithasevereheartdisorderwhenIwasinforaroutine

medicalcheckup.Iamamedicalpractitionermyself,andthatdiagnosis

hitmeoutoftheblue.IknewIneededtofinda way to heal my heart.

That’swhenIdiscoveredhowtousetheAkashicRecordstohealmyself.

Learning to do that opened a new dialogue with my heart. My heart

becameopentohealing,anditreceivedhealingLight.

—Laura

One of the great paradoxes of the spiritual journey is that at the soul level

youareperfectineveryway,yetinyourcurrentphysicalformyoumaybe

suffering some very real limitations such as mental or physical illness,

chronic disease, financial hardship, or relationship problems. As you walk

your spiritual path, you are asked to hold within yourself these seemingly

conflicting truths: so while your infinite soul is perfect and flawless, your

finite human self may be suffering from a terminal illness. One way to

reconcile this paradox is to recognize that these two truths exist

simultaneously in two different dimensions. The soul-level truth of

perfection exists in the invisible dimension within, while the physical truth

of illness exists in the visible, external dimension. Yet these two truths do

not negate each other; they merely coexist until you leave your physical

bodyandbecomeentirelyspiritandentirelywholeattheendofthiscurrent

lifetime.

Understandingthisspiritualparadoxallowsustorecognizethatillnessesand

disastersofanykindareneitherindictmentsnorexpressionsofthecondition

ofthesoul.Rather,theyareexperiencesthatweencounterashumansforthe

purpose of learning to love ourselves and others in spiteof—or oftentimes,

becauseof—thoseillnessesordisasters.

HowDoesEnergyHealingOccurintheAkashicRecords?

How do you help your clients remember their essential wholeness? Well,

unlike other energy healers, as an Akashic reader-practitioner you do not

send, direct, remove, or manipulate a client’s energy during a reading.

Instead, you open the client’s Records and ask the Light of the Akasha to

revealthatsoul’strueessence,sothatforthedurationofthereading(andto

acertain extent, afterward), that person canexperience him or herself from

the altitude of consciousness that the Records provide. As the reader, you

merely “flip the switch” that allows this en-Lightenment to begin. Then as

you speak the truth during the reading, the Light of the Records intensifies

and accelerates, and the information is transmitted to your client on the

energy of your spoken words. When the energy and the information are

sufficiently registered in your client’s consciousness and physical being,

theycauseashift,anexpansion,andanopeningup,whichenablehealingto

occur at whatever levels are necessary—mental, physical, emotional,

spiritual,energetic,soul,oranycombinationthereof.

Ispentthemajorityofmylifefeelinglikeanoutsiderandwasconstantly

searching for where I belonged. In my quest to fit, I read self-help and

spiritualbooks,hadreadingsandhealings,andlearnedvariousspiritual

modalities.Itallhelped,butitdidn’tthoroughlyquenchmydesirefora

sense of belonging and inner peace. It was like putting bandages on an

open wound—a wound that wouldn’t heal and that would continually

teargivennewcircumstances.

I was initially hesitant to learn to consciously access the Akashic

Records because I intuitively felt the profound change awaiting me.

However, accessing the Records for the first time, I was immediately

filled with a sense of perfect belonging and peace. For the first time, I

feltIwashome.TodayIcontinuetocalltheAkashicRecordshome,and

it is through this spiritual resource that I continue to rely on love,

acceptance, and wisdom to support and guide me through the hills and

valleysoflife,allthewhileunderstandingIbelongrightwhereIam.

—Jeanette

Thoughyourclientmaynotimmediatelyrecognizethatanykindofhealing

hasoccurred,youasthereaderunderstandthatmosthealingsintheRecords

beginwithsubtleopeningsinpeople’sawareness.Thoseopeningsthenlead

to deeper shifts that empower people to begin releasing unhealthy thoughts

andhabitsandreplacingthemwithonesthatsignificantlyenrichtheirlives.

And in every case, what allows for these healings is the realization of the

truththatweareneverseparatefromourSourceofCreation.Therefore,we

are always—in every moment and despite all earthly appearances—good,

whole, well, and sound. As we make our way back to realizing this soul-

leveltruth,weareinastateofgracethatallowsongoinghealingtooccur—

ifonly,atfirst,onthesubtlestoflevels.

AsanAkashicReader-Practitioner,WhatAreMyRolesand

Responsibilities?

One way of looking at your role as an Akashic reader-practitioner is to

imagine yourself as a restorer of artifacts and your clients as crystal-clear

vessels that have gathered dust through the ages. Some of the vessels are

coveredwithsomuchdustthatit’sdifficulttoseetheirhiddenbeauty.When

viewedsuperficially,theymayevenappearunattractiveorflawed.Yetonce

they’recleanedwithasonicdevice,thedustshakesloose, and you can see

their perfection. You must perform this process delicately, how ever:

increasing the sonic vibration too quickly or too much can damage some

vessels,butincreasingthevibrationatjusttherightpacewillgentlyloosen

thedustandrestorethemtotheiroriginalintegrity.

As a practitioner of the Akashic Records, your role is to allow the

transmission of Akashic energy first and information second. This order is

necessary because the energetic vibration of the Records is what the

information travels on. So by “bathing” your clients in this energy and

giving them information, you allow them to “shed their dust,” so they can

seetheirtrueselvesintheLightoftheRecords.

Thoughyourrolemayappearsimpleonthesurface,thepreparationinvolved

in becoming a good reader is of vital importance and may take some time

and effort. Your personal preparation is an ongoing inner process that

involves understanding yourself at the level of soul and realizing your own

soul-levelwholenessandwellness.

As you work in your own Records and in the Records of others, a natural

healing occurs. By consciously, responsibly, and deliberately placing

yourselfintheenergyoftheRecords, you begin this healing process. Each

time you open the Records, peace, love, light, and goodness surround and

infuse you, filling you and your energy field with the higher quality of the

Akashic life force. As this happens, there is a quickening of the energetic

vibrations both inside and around you, and any vibrations that are ready to

moveatamorerapidratewilldoso.Youthenexperiencethoseaccelerated

vibrationsaselevatedfeelingsandheightenedsenses.

WheneveryouaccesstheAkashicRecords,theenergyoftheAkashameets

your human energy and causes a kind of “ignition,” as the Light of the

Akasha (which is extremely fast and refined yet indestructible) meets your

slower,heavierhuman energy. When this happens, the lighterenergiesjoin

together to create a faster vibration, and the heavier, denser energies

associated with negative emotions and repetitive thought patterns fall away

andareabsorbedbytheearth’senergyfield.There,theyaretransmutedinto

energy patterns that are more useful on the physical plane. So, merely by

being in the Records, you receive an “energetic tune-up” that helps you

refineandelevateyourownenergyandserveyourclientsmoreeffectively.

As I mentioned when explaining the Pathway Prayer, the interface of

Akashicandhumanenergybeginsabouteighteeninchesaboveyourcrown,

at your eighth chakra. At that point, the Akashic energy flows through a

hollowtube,orpillar,ofLightthroughwhichtheAkashicenergymovesinto

your infinite, interior dimension. This dimension connects you to the

Universethroughthepersonyouareinthislifetime.Inthisdimension,you

can find your current emotional makeup, the structure and patterns of your

mind, the resources of your will, your dreams, your soul, your relationship

withtheDivine,andallotherpartsofyourselfthatyouknowtobetruebut

cannotseewithyourphysicaleyes.

Whether your heavier, denser energies accelerate or fall away, they are

always used for good in other situations. No energy, whether identified as

“positive”or“negative,”iseverlostorwasted.EveryatomicpointofLight

is useful in its right place, and the Light of the Akasha facilitates the

distributionofenergytoitsrightplaceintheUniverse.Forushumans,this

experienceusuallyregistersasemotionalormentalshifts.Duringemotional

shifts, the denser, slower energies expressed as sadness, fear, despair,

resentment,anger,andfrustrationaretransmutedtohigher,quickerenergies

expressedashappiness,contentment,freedom,andjoy.Bybeingpresentin

theRecords—evenifyou’rereadingforsomeoneelse—youcanexperience

such a shift. So if you were sad or uncertain about something before you

openedtheRecords,youmayfindthat after the readingyousuddenlyhave

clarity and hope. And if you were confused about an impending decision,

youmightsuddenlyknowwhattodo.

So far, I’ve been addressing your practitioner preparation as it occurs

throughtheAkashicRecords.There’sanotherkindofpreparation,however,

that involves your active and deliberate participation. Doing effective work

in the Records and becoming the best reader you can be requires taking

responsibility for who you are, where you are in life, and how you are

dealing with the life you are living. The more you take responsibility to

resolve your personal issues and clear them from your mind and body, the

more space you make within yourself to accommodate more Light and

health.

Working in the Akashic Records has not only changed my life for the

better,ithasliterallysavedmylife.TodayIamhappyandfree,withan

understandingof whoIamandwhy I’mhere.Iwillbe forevergrateful

for my Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones, and for the energy of the

Recordsthemselves.

—Paul

Justtobeclear,takingresponsibilityforyourselfshouldnottobeconfused

with taking the blame for others’ beliefs and actions. You are only

responsible for yourself, and for doing the best you can do. So in this

context,takingresponsibilitymeansacceptingyourlifewithoutblaming,and

understanding that everything has a Divine purpose even if it’s not always

obvious. Acceptance in this way is neither a sign of resignation nor defeat.

Hardly.Insteaditmeansarrivingataplaceofpeaceandbeingabletosayto

yourself, This is who I am, and this is my life. I’ll change whatever I can,

andI’llreleasewhatIcannotchange.Eitherway,I’mdoingmybest.Andby

doingmybestasanindividual,I’mcontributingtothehighestgoodofall.I

no longer need to look to any other person to make things better for me. I

accept responsibility for my life, and I’ll make choices for myself. And I’ll

enjoytheresultsofthosechoiceswhileIamhereonthisearth.

Getting to a place of peace and personal responsibility will require you to

look within to find those patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that

have been causing you pain. Fortunately, you have the Akashic Records to

helpyouwiththisprocess.WiththeguidanceofyourMasters,Teachers,and

Loved Ones, you can safely examine who you are and be honest about the

areasthatneedwork.Youcanthenbegintomake changesinyourlifethat

support your new spiritual direction, open you up to accommodate more

Light,andallowyoutolivefromaplaceofcompassionandgrace.

AsyouwilldiscoverwhileworkinginyourRecords,thewaytoexperience

thegreatestrelief,freedom,joy,andpeaceistoremoveyourattentionfrom

othersandwhattheyhaveorhavenotdoneandinsteadexamineyourself.As

youaskyourself,HowhaveIresponded?Whatismypartinthissituation?

Why am I stopping myself from being kind and loving? you will begin to

discoverwaystohealyourself.

ThroughmyworkintheRecords,Ihavegottentoknowmyself.Lifeis

filledwith meaningandpurposeandclarity, andyetit iswondrousand

mysterious. The sense of aloofness and existential pressure that had

dominated my life is lifting through my work in the Records. I have

become much more capable of accepting people as they are, and don’t

feel it is my job to fix them. My sense of judgment, which was a wall

betweenmeandothers,hasrelaxed.Itisstillthere,butratherthanbeing

aggressiveandcritical,theenergyisacceptingandkind.

—Homa

Theprocessofself-discoveryandhealingis ongoing.It’slikeaschoolthat

meets all year round, and as this life-school goes on, things ebb and flow.

Therewillbetimeswhenyoufeelpeacefulandhappyandfree.Othertimes

youwillbecomestuckinoldideasandbehaviorsandfeellikeyou’rebarely

makingprogress.Suchtimesareinevitableforallhumanbeings.Justfinda

quietplaceandopenyourRecords.YourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes

willbehappytolendsupportandhelpyourestoreharmonyandbalance.

Attimesthisworkcanseemoverwhelming,yetit’sanecessarypartofbeing

a responsible Akashic reader. As you continue on this path of personal

responsibility, you will grow in understanding and love for yourself and

others.Thesequalitieswillshinethroughyou,makingyouabeaconofLight

and healing for everyone you encounter. Your skill and success as an

Akashic practitioner will depend on your relationship with yourself, your

ownhealingprocess,andyourwillingness to beledbytheforcesofLight.

As you do these things, you will naturally realize your potential to radiate

loveandgoodwillintoyourworldandtoassistotherswithunderstanding,

kindness,andpowerthroughyourAkashicRecord’sreadings.

As you move more deeply into energy healing in the Records, you’ll

discoverthatyourlevelofpersonalpreparationwilldetermineyourabilityto

getoutofthewaysothathealingcanoccurmosteffectivelyforyourclients.

You’ll also discover that your knowledge and understanding of the process

itselfwillfacilitateyourclients’healing.Thereareseveralreasonsforthis:

• Doingyourownenergy-healingworkintheRecordsgivesyoufirsthand

knowledgeofhowtheprocessworks.Asyoubecomemorefamiliarwiththe

threelevelsofenergyhealing(whichwewilldiscussshortly),youwill

recognizemorequicklytheenergeticshiftthatoccursateachlevel.Thenyour

abilitytorecognizetheseshiftsduringyourownreadingswillhelpyou

recognizetheminyourclients’readings.Consequently,you’llbeabletohelp

yourclientsmoreeasilyaccommodatetheacceleratedenergyoftheLightand

moredeeplyanchoritshealingvibration.

• Doingyourownenergy-healingworkintheRecordshelpsyoulearntotrust

theprocess,whichhelpsyougetoutofyourownway.Rememberthepartofthe

OpeningPrayerthatsays,“Protectmefromallformsofself-centeredness,and

directmyattentiontotheworkathand”?Ifyouhavefaithintheprocessand

yourabilitytoapplyit,you’llbeabletoholdsteadyintheLightandkeep

focusedonyourclientwithoutbeingdistractedbyunnecessaryworriesorfears.

• Speakingofgettingoutofyourownway:doingyourownenergy-healing

workintheRecordsisthequickestwaytodevelopaclearaltitudeof

consciousness.Awell-developedaltitudeofconsciousnesshelpsyoufree

yourselfofyourown“dust,”whichfreesyouofjudgments,attitudes,and

reactions—bothinandoutoftheRecords.

• Allowingyourpersonalfeelingstosurfaceduringareadingobstructstheflow

ofLightandblocksyourabilitytorecognizethesoul-leveltruthaboutaperson

orasituation.However,whenyou’veclearedawayyourownjudgmentsand

knowthetruthaboutyourself,itismucheasiertorecognizethetruthabout

another.Soratherthanjudgeapersonfromyourhumanperspectiveand

consciousness,youareabletosaytoyourself,BecauseIknowthissoul’sDivine

natureasIknowmyown,Iknowthatthisperson’sgoodnessandwholenessare

there.IwillfollowtheLightuntilIseethissoul’strueessenceandcanhelphim

orherseeit,too.Inaway,thisprocessislikediggingforgold:whenyou’re

certainit’sthere,youkeepdiggingbecauseyouknowthatthedeeperyougo,

thecloseryouaretostrikingitrich.Butifyou’reworkingwith“faulty

equipment,”theprocessbecomesalotmoredifficult—ifnotimpossibleat

times.

Let’ssum things up thusfar.Yourrole as anAkashicreader-practitioner is

tousetheenergyandinformationoftheRecordstorecognizethesoul-level

truthofyourownessence,aswellaseachclient’sessence.Thenasyougive

a reading, that soul-level recognition will elevate and shift your client’s

energy and perspective so that he or she can recognize the truth, too, and

thenhealingcanoccur.Thatisbothyourroleandyourgoal—unfortunately,

however, it may not be the conscious goal of the client for whom you are

reading!

Though at some basic level, all souls desire to experience their wholeness

and Oneness with all of Creation, not all humans who come to you for a

reading are consciously aware of this desire. In other words, they aren’t

“feeling the love” right then—for themselves or for others. So if you’re

doingareadingfor“Joe,”forexample,andyoubegintellinghimhowlovely

heis(becausethatishistrueessenceasrevealedbyhisMasters,Teachers,

andLovedOnes),hemayfindwhat you’re saying so disconcerting thathis

firstinstinctwill be to reject it and insist that it’s not true.Especially if he

has come for guidance about a “mistake” he perceives he has made, his

thoughts about himself in that moment will be anything but positive and

kind.SotheAkashicinformationthatyou’resharingwithJoewillnotmatch

what he “knows” about himself, and energetically, he will be unable to

receiveit.

Whatdoyoudointhissituation?Firstofall,remainunflappable.It’sokay.

Joe’s okay. You’re okay. Recognize the truth behind Joe’s reaction, and

don’tletitthrowyououtoftheLightandintoyourownthoughts,fears,and

judgments.Instead,justholdsteadyforamoment.Takeadeepbreath,takea

sipofwater,and/orsaythesilentpartoftheprayertoyourselfagain.(Help

metoknow“JosephAlanWoodside”intheLightoftheAkashicRecords,To

see“Joseph Alan Woodside” throughtheeyes of the Lords of theRecords,

And enable me to share the wisdom and compassion that the Masters,

andLovedOneswillkeepyoucenteredintheLightsothatyoucanreceive

theirguidance.

In such a moment, it’s extremely important to understand that this may be

thefirsttimeinquitea whilethatJoehasheard goodthingsabouthimself,

andthemismatchinperceptionsmaybesojarringthatheisneitherwilling

norabletoacceptwhatistrue.Ononelevel,forexample,hemayfeelthat

you’remessingwith his“comfortable”andfamiliar pictureofhimself—it’s

asifhe’slookinginamirrorandexpectingtoseewhathealwayssees,but

the image you’re reflecting back to him is so alien he finds it downright

scary.Onanotherlevel,Joemaysensethatyou—equippedwiththelaserlike

Light of the Akasha—are poking holes in the illusory facade he’s

constructed in order to rationalize his unwillingness to understand, forgive,

change, decide, heal, and move forward in his life.... But he is here for a

reading, isn’t he? Despite all of human Joe’s kicking and screaming, the

eternalsoulcurrentlyknownasJosephAlanWoodsidehasshownupforhis

healing.Thisbravesouliscallingforhelpbecausehecannotdoitalone,and

youareansweringthecall.Anditispreciselyinmomentssuchasthiswhen

all of your personal healing work in the Records will support you as a

reader-practitioner.ItisalsowhenyoumustbegintofollowwhatIcallthe

ThreeLevelsofHealingintheAkashicRecords.

TheThreeLevelsofHealingintheAkashicRecords

Thepermanentresolutionofanyproblemrequiresapermanentevolutionof

thesoul.Inother words, in order for people to haveanykindofhealing in

the Records, they must first experience a permanent shift in the way they

perceivethemselves.Thenthatnewperceptioncaneventuallyleadtoashift

in the way they treat themselves. But sometimes, as in Joe’s case, people

can’t experience those shifts unless you, the Akashic reader-practitioner,

lead them through the Three Levels of Healing: understand the story from

theclient’spointofview,lookforthecausesandconditions,andrecognize

thesoul-leveltruth.

Level1:UnderstandtheStoryfromtheClient’sPointofView

During this first level of healing, you will be working at the level of the

problem and its physical manifestations. When people come to you for

readings, it’s usually because they have a problem or situation they can’t

resolve on their own. They may be upset, angry, hurt, confused, even

desperate—and you may be their last resort. So the first thing to do after

you’veopenedaclient’sRecordsistolistentohisorherstory.Allowyour

clienttodescribetheproblemasheorshecurrentlyseesit—whatitis,how

and when it started, who else is involved, and what complications it has

caused.Whileyoulisten,completelyacceptthepersonandthestorywithout

judgmentsorpreconceivednotions,becauseyouknowthatthishumanbeing

hasbeendoingthebestthatheorshecando.Youalsoknowthatwhatyou

are hearing is this person’s transitory truth, as told from his or her human

perspective,andthatitisnotnecessarilythesoul-leveltruth.

Since energy travels on the spoken word, your client’s verbal

acknowledgment of the problem is the first step in the healing process.

Here’sanexampleofhowitworks.Let’ssaythat“Jillian”comestoyoufor

a reading. After obtaining her cur rent legal name, you say the Opening

PrayertoaccessJillian’sAkashicRecords.OnceherRecordsareopen,you

say,“Icanseethatyou’reupset.Canyoutellmewhat’sgoingon?”Jillian

then explains that she’s distraught and overwhelmed because she’s in the

middle of a lengthy divorce. She’s angry and bitter, and she can’t stand it

anymore. She goes on to describe the details of the divorce, including how

andwhytheproceedingsbeganandhowthedivorceisaffectingherlife.

WhileJillianspeaks,yourjobistohearherstoryandunderstanditfromher

point of view. Rather than sit in judgment of Jillian, her husband, or the

processofdivorceitself,staywithherandherstory.Don’tprojectyourown

experiencesorcomparehertoanyoneyouknow.Justsitandlisten,andbe

the wide-open conduit who allows information to be received and

transmittedforthedurationofthereading.

It may seem like nothing significant happens during this level of Jillian’s

reading. Yet, if she can tell you her story, and you can hear it without

judgment, the first level of healing will occur. Here’s what happens: When

you open Jillian’s Records, you “ring the Akashic doorbell” and ask the

Akasha to enter your consciousness and also to surround you and Jillian in

Light.YoutheninitiatethehealingbyaskingJilliantotellherstory.Asshe

beginsto speak, the energy ofher words allows the Light of theAkasha to

intensify and accelerate its vibration. The more you listen to Jillian with

compassion and understanding, the quicker you allow the Light to do its

work, and the quicker you both allow yourselves to resonate to the Light’s

acceleratedvibration.Oncethataccelerationoccurs,youandJillianreceive

theenergetic“jump-start”youneedinordertomovetoLevel2.

Level2:LookfortheCausesandConditions

This level of healing moves you into the domain of causes and conditions.

After a client has finished describing his or her problem, you can ask the

Records to reveal its causes and conditions. Sometimes a cause can be

physical,asinthecaseofsomeonewhowasbornwitha certain diseaseor

whodevelopedcancerafterworkingwithasbestosformanyyears.Atother

timesacausecanbementaloremotional,asinthecaseofsomeonehavinga

particular belief or attitude that causes something to happen—or that

precludesitfromhappening.Atstillothertimes,acausecanbe“invisible”

and due to certain past-life experiences, choices, beliefs, or ancestral

influences.

Someproblems can be healed at Level 2wheninformation about the cause

or condition is all that’s required. Put another way, when a lack of

understandingistheproblem,informationisthesolution.Forexample,while

tellinghis story during Level1ofa reading, “Larry” describes hisproblem

as chronic laryngitis, for which his doctors have been unable to determine

eithercauseorcure.SoyouaskLarry’sMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes

torevealtheoriginofhis problem. They show you a past life in which the

soul now known as Larry was hanged for publicly voicing his beliefs, and

you relate the details of this experience to Larry just as you receive them.

When you finish, Larry says, “Oh, man! I get it now! This laryngitis thing

started a few years ago after a protest rally I organized. At first I blamed

myself for the problem: I thought I had shouted too much that day and

damaged my vocal chords. But when the doctors examined me, that turned

out not to be true. What I now understand is true is that my latent fear of

being hanged for speaking out made me lose my voice that day—both

literally and figuratively, since it was the last rally I ever organized or

attended.”

ForLarry,thismomentoftruthisallthat heneeds forhis healing.Hesees

thathecanletgoofhisfearofvoicinghisbeliefsbecauseheknowsthathe

willnotbehangedforspeakingtheminpublicinthislifetime.ThisAkashic

information, as transmitted through the energy of your voice, moves Larry

intotheawarenessthatthere’snoproblemwithhimorhisvoice.Heletsgo

ofhisfearandgainsasenseofpeace.And,intime,heregainsnotonlyhis

physicalvoicebuthiscouragetospeakoutatfuturerallies.

Althoughtheinformation revealed during Level 2 can be extremely helpful

—andperhaps,asinLarry’scase,maybeallapersonneedsinordertosolve

a problem—it is still considered transitory truth because you are viewing a

particular soul in the context of a past human incarnation rather than as its

trueessenceasaDivineeternalbeing.

When the information revealed at this level is not enough to dispel the

problem,oreventoloosenitsgrip,it’stimetomovetoLevel3.

Level3:RecognizetheSoul-LevelTruth

Whereas Level 1 is about your clients being heard, Level 3 is about them

beingknown.Level3isthedomainofessential,permanent,soul-leveltruth.

It’sthelevelatwhichyouasthereaderareabletoseeapersonasheorshe

is seen, known, and loved in the Akashic Records. Working in this level

allowsyoutotranscendtherealmoftheperson’smundaneearthlyproblem

and move into the realm of Divine consciousness. It is from this level that

youcanseethatwhateveraclientisexperiencingrightnow—drugaddiction,

illness, divorce, the aftermath of an accident—it is actually perfect and

necessary because it’s the most effective vehicle for allowing this client’s

soulgrowth.

Let’sgobacktoJoeagain.Ifyouweretalkingtohimatthislevel,youmight

findyourselftellinghimwhatastrongandbravesoulhisMasters,Teachers,

and Loved Ones know he is for choosing such a difficult lesson or path.

Even if he’s still balking at hearing about his goodness because he’s still

having trouble seeing the truth, you will have no trouble seeing Joe for the

awesome soul that he is. You also will have no trouble understanding that

althoughJoemaythinkhis“vessel”istarnishedorflawed,healwaysholds

withinhimthepotentialandthemeansforchange.SoifJoecan’t“shakehis

dustloose”rightnow,don’tpushhim.Forsomereason,hefeelstheneedto

holdontoit.RushingorforcingJoe’sprocessrightnowcouldactuallycause

himharm.Soratherthanjudginghimforfeelingthisway,justkeeptelling

himthetruththathisRecordsarerevealing.

Forexample, you might tell him that even ifhe doesn’t knowit right now,

hisMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesknowthatheismuchmorethanhis

physical body and circumstances, that his soul can never be sick, and that

even though he may feel quite distant from God right now, he is always

connectedtoGodandtoallofGod’screation.Energeticallyspeaking,what

we focus on expands, so by allowing Joe to focus on these truths, you are

providing him the opportunity to open his heart and expand his view of

himself.

As you speak with Joe, keep remembering that the energy of the Akashic

Records is being transmitted through the sound of your voice. You don’t

need to direct the energy; the Light will go where it needs to go and will

providewhatit needs to provide. As long asyourelatethetruth about Joe,

hewillresonatetoitsvibrationandwillbegintoreceivehishealing—evenif

that healing involves making peace with his transitory human illness or

imperfection, and even if it means understanding that sometimes it’s the

illness or imperfection itself that leads to the deepest soul-healing and the

richestexperienceofcomingtoknowGod.

AsyoumoveoutofLevel3andpreparetoclosetheRecords,it’simportant

to remember that the outcome of a reading is never up to you. Your

responsibilitybeginsandendswithyoubeingasspirituallyfitaspossiblein

order to maintain the integrity of the Records and assist each soul on its

journey.Whateveryourclientsdowithwhatyougivethemisentirelyupto

them.Someclientsmaywalkawayfromtheirreadingsandpromptlyforget

aboutthem.Othersmayassimilatetheinformationovertimeandapplyitas

they are able. Still others may jump up at the end of their readings and

decidetochangetheirlivesinthatmoment.Again,whatevertheydecide,it

isnotinyourcontrol.Lettinggoofthebeliefthatitiswill“protectyoufrom

allforms ofselfcenteredness.”Holdon tothebelief,instead,that on some

level, every person will “get it” at exactly the right time—if not in this

lifetime,theninthenext...orthenext...orthenext—yougetit.

HowCanIRecognizetheThreeLevelsofHealing?

The exercises that follow will help you familiarize yourself with the Three

Levels of Healing in the Records. The first exercise will help you practice

working in your own Akashic Records. The second exercise will help you

practiceworkingwithsomeoneelse.

Note: Though I’ve broken each exercise into three separate readings to

facilitate your learning, all three levels are meant to occur within a single

reading.

Exercise:TheThreeLevelsofHealing(WorkinginYourOwn

AkashicRecords)

Level1:TellYourStoryfromYourPointofView

1. Thinkofaproblemorsituationthat’s“alive”foryourightnow,andwith

whichyouwouldlikesomehelp.

2. UsetheOpeningPrayerSeesectionentitled“PathwayPrayerProcessto

AccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsWhenReadingforYourself”toaccess

yourownAkashicRecords.

3. TellyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesyourstory.(Writeitdownor

sayitoutloud,whicheveriseasierforyou.)Asyoudescribetheproblemfrom

yourperspective,includesuchdetailsashowandwhenitstarted,whois

involved,whatimpactithashadsofar,andwhatcomplicationsithascaused.

4. Whileyouaredescribingyourproblem,pauseeverysooftenandask

yourselfthesequestions:

•HowdoIfeelaboutmyselfrightnow?AmIjudgingmyselfinanyway?

(I’mgood/I’mbad;I’mright/I’mwrong;Ishouldn’thavethought,said,or

donethat—orinthatparticularway.)

•HowdoIfeelabouttheproblemorsituation?AmIjudgingitinanyway?

(It’sstupid;it’scrazy;it’swrong;itmakesmemiserableeveryday;itnever

shouldhavehappened.Or:Iwastotallyjustifiedinmyactions;everyone

elseiswrong!)

5. Ifyoufindyourselfbeingjudgmentalinanyway,askyourMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnestohelpyouunderstandthatinthisparticular

moment,youdon’thaveacompletepictureoftheproblem,norareyouseeing

yourselforothersforwhotheytrulyare.AlsoaskyourMasters,Teachers,and

LovedOnestohelpyouseethatyoursituationisneithergoodnorbad;itjustis.

Likewise,yourfeelingsaboutyourselfandthesituationareneithergoodnor

bad;theyjustare.Ofcoursetheyare!Andwhatevertheyare,they’reokayat

thistime—sofinishtellingyourstorywithoutjudgment.

6. Whenyou’vefinishedtellingyourstory,you’relikelytosenseashift.Itmay

feellikeasighofrelief,asifrelatingyourproblemwithoutjudgmenthashelped

yougetitoffyourchest—literallyclearitsheavyenergyfromyourheartspace

—andyou’restartingtobreatheabiteasier.You’realsobeginningtosee

yourselfandyourproblemfromabroader,morecompassionateperspective.

7. Inthisstateofexpandedawareness,saytheClosingPrayertoexityour

AkashicRecords.

Level2:AskAbouttheCausesandConditions

1. RecalltheproblemorsituationyoudescribedduringyourLevel1reading.

(Ifyouwroteaboutyourproblem,youmaywanttoreviewyournotes.)Then

usetheprayerSeesectionentitled“PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeart

oftheAkashicRecordsWhenReadingforYourself”toopenyourAkashic

Records.

2. AskyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnestoshowyouthecauseofyour

problem.Ifyouneedanyhelpgettingstarted,herearesomequestionsyou

mightuse:

•Didtheproblembegininthislifetime?Ifso,whatwasitscause?(Wasit

hereditaryorenvironmental?WasitsomethingIdidorsaid?Wasitan

opinionorabeliefthatIheldorstillhold?WasitsomethingthatIamnot

seeing?)

•WhatlessoncanIlearnfromthisparticularproblem,andhowisitassisting

mysoul’sgrowth?

•Whatotherinformationcanyougivemethatwillhelpmeshiftmycurrent

perspectiveandmovetowardresolutionandhealing?

Or:

•Didmyproblembegininanotherlifetime?Ifso,canyoushowmethe

causesandconditions?

•HowandwhydidIcarrytheproblemintothiscurrentlifetime?

•Iftheproblemhasserveditspurposeandusefulness,howcanIletitgo?

•IfIstillneedtoworkontheprobleminthislifetime,whatdoIneedto

knowordosothatIcanbegintoresolveit?

3. AsyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesrevealthecauseofyour

problem,youmayfindthatyouhavean“Aha!”momentthathelpsyoushift

yourperspectivedramaticallyandbegintomovetowardhealing.Whenyoufeel

thatyou’vesufficientlyregisteredthisshift,turnto“ClosingPrayer”andclose

yourAkashicRecords.

Or:

4. Ifyou’rehavinganytroubleunderstandingoracceptingwhatyourMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnesaresaying,don’tstruggle.JustcloseyourAkashic

Recordsandsitwiththeinformationforawhile.Youwillhaveanotherchance

togainclaritywhenyouopenyourRecordsforLevel3.

Level3:RecognizetheSoul-LevelTruth

1. UsetheprayerSeesectionentitled“PathwayPrayerProcesstoAccessthe

HeartoftheAkashicRecordsWhenReadingforYourself”toopenyour

AkashicRecords.

2. RecallyourLevel2reading.Ifitsenergyandinformationweresufficientto

shiftyourperspectiveandanchoryourhealing,askyourMasters,Teachers,and

LovedOnestoshowyouhowyouareseen,known,andlovedintheRecords.In

otherwords,askthemtoshowyouyoursoul’strueessenceinawaythathelps

youseeit,too.Alsoaskthemtoshowyouhowthisparticularproblemwas

perfectforyoursoul’sgrowth.

3. SpendsomemoretimeinyourRecordsandallowyourselftobebathedin

theLightoftheAkasha.Letitstrengthenandraiseyourvibrationandhelpyou

realizewhoyouare.Thenwhenyoufeelready,saytheprayer“Closingprayer”

andcloseyourRecords.

Or:

4. Ifyou’restillhavingtroubleunderstandingoracceptingwhatyourMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnessaidduringyourLevel2reading,askthemtohelp

youseethesoulleveltruthofwhoyouare.Ifthattruthistoodifficulttoaccept

rightnow,askthemtohelpyouacceptthefactthatwhereyouareatthis

5. Whenyoufeelready,saytheprayeron“ClosingPrayer”andcloseyour

AkashicRecords.

Exercise:TheThreeLevelsofHealing(WorkinginSomeone

CHAPTERSIX

HealingAncestralPatternsintheAkashicRecords

AsyoudomoreandmoreAkashicreadingsforyourselfandothers,youmay

begintonoticesomethinginteresting:thecausesofpeople’sproblemsinthis

lifetime are very often due to beliefs, attitudes, or behavioral patterns

they’ve inherited from their ancestors. So exploring your ancestral lineage

andfreeing yourselffromdetrimentalancestral patternsarethenext logical

stepsforhealingworkintheRecords.

Doing ancestral work in the Records is also natural and logical because all

past and present occurrences, as well as all future probabilities, are held

within the Akasha. So you can work in the Records to learn not only how

you’recurrentlybeingaffectedbyyourancestorsbutalsohowyoucanmake

choices now that will affect future generations. In essence, working in the

AkashicRecordstohealyourlimitingancestralpatternswillhelpyou:

• Explorethetruenatureofyourancestrallines

• Releaseinheritedpatternsofconsciousnessthataredetrimentaltoyourown

soul’sgrowth,aswellasthegrowthofyourentiresoul-group

• Alignwiththehighestprobabilitiesofyourancestrallineageinordertoassist

initsfutureevolution

WhoAreMyAncestors?

People typically define their ancestors as their “family tree”: past

generations of relatives from whom they are directly descended. Although

this definition is true in the Akashic Records, it is also true that in the

Records your ancestors can be souls to whom you are related in

consciousnessbutnotnecessarilybybirth.Further,giventhesoul-leveltruth

thatweareallOneandarerelatedbyoursharedDNA,whenitcomesright

downtoit,everyoneisyourancestor!Forthepurposesofthiswork,wewill

use the Akashic description of ancestors: anyone who is related to you on

thesoullevel,biologicallyornot.

As you experience lifetime after lifetime, you often travel in various

ancestral soul-groups that share the same personal, universal, soul-level

goals. You will choose a particular group to simultaneously promote your

own soul’s growth and the soul growth of the group. As such, those in the

groupare committedtostickingtogether andhelpingeachother experience

situations that help you all realize your goals. Regardless of the group’s

lesserorintermediategoals,itsultimategoalisalwaysthesame:toachieve

peace among all of its members. This goal is not usually accomplished

quickly or even in one lifetime. Rather, it’s accomplished over a series of

lifetimesduringwhichyouallgrowincrementally,onegenerationatatime,

asyoulearntobalanceyour“karmicopposites.”Forexample,let’ssaythat

two souls within an ancestral group make an agreement to help each other

learnalessoninunconditionallove.Inonelifetime,thetwosoulsincarnate:

one as a brilliant, wealthy entrepreneur and the other as a mentally ill

homelesspersonwhom hepasseson thestreetevery day.Forboth ofthese

souls, their “opposite” roles afford them countless opportunities to

experienceunconditionallove.Theninsubsequentlifetimes,thesesametwo

soulscontinuetoshifttheirroles,andchoosethecontextsinwhichtoenact

them,sotheycandiscoverwhatitfeelsliketobeonbothsidesofthekarmic

coin. Ultimately, when both souls have experienced a wholly complete

expression of unconditional love, theywill be at peace with each otherand

will exist in harmony. At that point, each soul will be free to join other

ancestralgroupsinordertohaveotherkindsofexperiencesandlearnother

kindsoflessons.

Asforyourancestralgroupinthislifetime,manyofitsmembersareindeed

biologicallyrelated.Others,however,arerelatedbytheirdesiretocarryout

asharedgoal.Regardlessofhowyourancestralgroupisconnected,youwill

stay together—for better or for worse—until your karmic work is complete

andyou have grown to love one another.How you interact with each other

willvary:sometimesyou’llbekindandcompassionate;atothertimes,you’ll

be vengeful and mean-spirited. It really doesn’t matter as long as you’re

fulfilling your karmic roles within your ancestral lines—and you end up

lovingeachotherwhenallissaidanddone.

HowDoSoulsJoinAncestralLines?

Yourancestralsoul-groupinthislifetimeconsistsofdifferent“intersecting”

ancestrallines—someofwhichyouchosetobebornintoandsomeofwhich

you will choose later on in your life. As such, there are several ways in

which your soul can join different ancestral lines. The way in which most

soulsjointheirmainancestrallineistobebornintoitsfamilytree.Insucha

case, a particular line’s members are all linked through their genetic code.

Anotherwaysoulsjoinancestrallinesisbybeingadoptedintothem.Whena

groupofsoulsisjoinedinthisway,distinctkarmicexperiencesensueforthe

adoptedchild,thebiologicalparents,andtheadoptiveparentsandfamily.

Anotherway souls joinancestrallinesis tomarryintothem. It’s oftensaid

thatwhenyoumarryaperson,youtakeonthatperson’swholetribe.Thisis

especiallytruefromanAkashicpointofview,sincenomatterhowyouget

alongwiththat“tribe,”yourchoicetobewiththemisdeliberateandisfora

specificsoul-purpose.Evenifyoutrytoescapeyourspouse’slinebylegally

divorcing your spouse, your connection to this line will remain active until

yourworkwithyourex-spouseiscomplete.Soifyou’vebeendivorcedfora

while but still actively resent your ex-spouse, go back and do the first

exercise in Chapter 5 See section entitled Exercise: The Three Levels of

Healing (Working in Your Own Akashic Records). While you’re doing the

exercise,findoutwhatyoucandotohealyourresentment.Thathealingis

onlyforyou.Dowhatyoucando,sincetheonlywaytobefreeofaperson

is to have a peaceful parting. If you don’t have a peaceful parting but

struggle instead against “the ties that bind,” you’ll only make those ties

tighter and more uncomfortable. If you achieve neutrality and peace,

however, you’ll relax the binding ties and move into a more comfortable

position.

AsImentionedearlier,anotherwaysoulsjoinancestrallinesisbyright of

sharedconsciousness.Inthiscase,everysoulinaspecificancestrallinehas

agreedtobepartofthatlineinordertoraiseitscollectiveconsciousness.If

the line’s karmic task is particularly challenging, its resolution may take

severallifetimes.Whenthelinehascompleteditstask,however,thekarmic

tieswillloosenandbecomeinactive,andhealingwilloccuramongtheline.

Thesoulswillthenbefreetomoveonandjoinotherancestrallines.

WhatIsMyResponsibilitytoMyAncestors?

The person you are in this lifetime is the convergence point of all of your

relations and ancestral linesthroughout your soul’sexistence. As you work

on yourself in this lifetime and find compassion and peace within, you

releaseyourjudgmentofnotonlyyourselfbutothersinyourancestrallines.

Andthemoreyouareabletodothis,themoreyouareabletobringgrowth

andhealingtoyourentireancestralsoul-group,bothnowandinthefuture.

The Records help me identify blocks to growth and teach me how to

overcomemynegativeenergy.Forexample,I’derecteda wall between

myself and my family because the way I tried to “help” them actually

insultedthem.Ididn’tunderstandthisandhadbeenfrustratedforyears

because they were angry at me for trying to help in this way. When I

understood the patterns between us, decades of pain and

misunderstanding were dissolved. Today I have a more intimate and

lovingrelationshipwithmyfamilythananyIhaveknownbefore.

—Kathryn

The most effective way to learn about yourself and heal karmic rifts—both

within your own self and between you and others—is to work in your

AkashicRecordstogaintheperspectivetheyprovide.Onceyouareableto

acceptthesoul-leveltruththattheRecordsoffer,youcanchangeoldbeliefs,

patterns, and behaviors and heal them for good. So focus on yourself, not

others, and seek guidance on how to see situations for their soul-level

purposesandultimatekarmicbenefits.Alsoasktobeshownyourrolesand

responsibilitieswithinyourancestrallines.

As you work to make peace with yourself, you allow for deep healing and

transformationtooccur.Evenifyou’retheonlyonewho’sawareofwhat’s

happening, the shifts in you will open up space that allows for shifts in

others,andyourentirelinewillascend.Asyoulearntobemoreacceptingof

others, you will find it easier to share whatever you have to give. This, in

turn, will lessen others’ need to tug on you in order to get what they need.

When appropriate give-and-take is underway, everyone involved enjoys a

newlevelofharmonyandpeace.

TheRecordshavebeenagreathelpwithatroubledrelationshipwithone

of my relatives. The relationship was very painful for both of us, and I

waslookingtotheRecordstojustifymynegativefeelings.Instead,what

mysoulwantedwastoprayforthispersonthreetimesaday!

—Nancy

Evenifyouareconsideredthe“blacksheep”inyourfamily,youcancreatea

more peaceful and accepting environment. In fact, this is the karmic

imperativeoftheblacksheep.Sodon’tworrythatyouareviewedthisway;

youreallyareabitdifferentfromtherest.Youarepartofarareandunusual

breedthatstandsoutfromtheherd,andyou’retheonepeoplecan’thelpbut

watch. With all eyes upon you, you have the opportunity to let go of your

resistancetoacceptingpeoplewhoaredifferent.Ironically,youastheblack

sheep may want love, understanding, and acceptance from others but then

find—from the perspective of the Records—that you are the one who must

give those things first to those who love, understand, and accept you the

least.

Asyouacceptyourancestorsforwhoandwhattheyareand are not, all of

youareliberated.Thisishowyousupportthehealingofyourancestralline.

Beboldinyourlove,acceptance,andappreciationofeveryoneinthefamily,

especially those who are difficult for you. The Records will give you the

clarity and energy to fulfill your role, which will further the evolution of

yourcurrentancestrallineandallthesoulswhowilljoinitinthefuture.

HowCanIExploreMyAncestorsandTheirInfluencesonMy

CHAPTERSEVEN

HealingPastLivesintheAkashicRecords

Nowthatyou’veexploredyourancestrytodiscoverwhoyouaretoday,the

nextchapterin thestoryofyour soulisto explore someofyourpast lives.

Doingsowillgiveyouanevenbroaderunderstandingofwhoyouaretoday

—andwillprovideanotherwaytohelpyourawarenessofyoursoulevolve.

SincetheAkashaholdsarecordofallofourlifetimes,andbecausetimeand

space as we know them do not exist in the Akashic Records, information

regarding our problems and their origins is always readily available in the

Records.Havingsaidthat,however,IwanttomakeitclearthattheRecords

do not function for us as The Big Fishing Pond in the Sky. We can’t just

open our Records, cast our line, and reel in information about our various

pastlives. The Lords ofthe Records allow only the Masters, Teachers, and

Loved Ones to share information that we are ready to hear. So unless the

problemapersonispresentingbeganinadifferentlifetime,thatpersonwill

not get past-life information during an Akashic reading. This may be

frustrating to some of your clients who are especially intrigued by

reincarnation. However, those who are well aware of Divine timing and

Divine reliance will understand when it is and is not appropriate to receive

informationaboutpastlivesintheRecords.

Past-life healing in the Records is similar to energy healing in that your

readingswillfollowdifferentlevelsinordertohelpyou:

•Explorepastlivesyoursoulhaslived

•Understandandreleasepatternsofconsciousnessyoudevelopedduring

otherlifetimesthatnolongerserveyouinthisone

•Alignwiththehighestprobabilitiesofyourcurrentlifetimeinorderto

facilitateandexpediteyoursoul’sevolutioninitsawarenessofitsOneness

withtheCreator

WhatArePastLives?

From an Akashic point of view, all souls are eternal. Your soul has been

reincarnating throughout time to experience and express its Divinity in a

varietyofconditions.Thehumanlifetimesyoursoulexperiencedbeforethis

currentincarnationareknownasyoursoul’spastlives.(Theissueofmoving

fromhumanformtoanimalformthroughoutthereincarnationcycledoesnot

ariseintheAkashicRecords.Instead,weseeonlythejourneyofthesoulin

its human incarnations. Whether a soul transitions from human being to

familypetisnotaddressedintheRecords.)

Atthe startofeach newlifetime,yoursoul setsoutto learncertainlessons

andaccomplishcertaingoals.Insomecases,yoursoulwilllearnaparticular

lessonwithinasinglelifetime.Attheendofsuchalifetime,yoursoulwill

shed its physical body and integrate the wisdom of that lesson into its

consciousness. (In more familiar terms, this is when the body dies but the

spirit lives on—and is more evolved than ever because of its new

understandings.)

Sometimes, however, a particular lesson takes more than one lifetime to

master. In such a case, what once was merely a lesson to be learned at the

human level becomes an energetic blockage, or problem, that must be

clearedatthesoullevel.Here’swhathappens.Let’ssaythatyoursoulenters

a lifetime as “Katie,” with a plan to work on the lesson of over coming

prejudice.Butthisturnsouttobeatallorder,sodespiteKatie’sbesthuman

efforts, she reaches the end of her lifetime without having mastered the

lesson.

I asked my Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones why I always take

classes in all different areas of life—art, photography, scuba, skiing,

improvisation,voicelessons,piano—andneverbecomeproficientatany

ofthem.Sincesome of them are very expensive and time consuming, I

had always felt bad about this behavior. In a reading, the answer that I

got was that I was a Russian ballerina in a past life. I spent that whole

lifehavingtobedisciplinedinthatoneart,sonowinthislifeIgettotry

whateverI want.Ittotallymade sense andhasallowedme tofeelgreat

about this part of my life. I think what the knowledge provides is the

ability to, as in all “light bulb moments,” understand and let go;

understandandletgo.

—Barbara

As the human being known as Katie, your soul made many advancements

toward overcoming prejudice. Yet on this particular lesson, your soul still

hasworktodo.AttheendofyourlifetimeasKatie,yoursoulshedsKatie’s

physical body, but the energy of the unfinished lesson still exists as a

blockage in your soul-level consciousness. With nowhere else to go, this

energyblockagetakesupresidenceinthebodyandmindofyoursoul’snext

incarnation:“Malik.”

As Malik grows up, some of his prejudicial beliefs and actions are directly

influencedbytheunresolvedproblemsKatieleftbehind.Malik’sparentsare

baffledbyhisbehavior.Theycan’tunderstandhow,despitethefactthatthey

raised all of their children in the same way, Malik has such different ideas

fromtherestofhisfamily.Asamatteroffact,Malikhimselfdoesn’talways

understand why he feels and acts as he does. There’s just something deep

downinsidehimthathecanneverquiteexplain.

In its lifetime as Katie, and now as Malik, your soul has been allowed to

view different kinds of prejudice through different sets of eyes in order to

learnto overcome this problem.Ifyoursoulsucceedsduringits lifetime as

Malik,itwillclearawaytheproblemanditsenergy blockage,integratethe

wisdom of the lesson, and move on to learn something else. However, if

Malikdoesnotsucceed,yoursoulmightdecidetocomebackas“Pierre”and

...try,tryagain.

Thislearningprocesswillrepeatitselfforasmanylifetimesasarenecessary

for your soul to solve its problem and integrate its lesson. Then, once the

problemissolved,yoursoulwillbefreetogetonwiththerestofitslife—or

more accurately, its lifetimes—unaffected any longer by this particular

lessonandallofitsresultantproblems.

Itisimportanttostophereandnotethatitisanenergeticimpossibilityfora

soultogobackwardinitsevolution.Ahumanexperiencemayappeartobea

regressiontopastpatternsofthinkingandbehaving,butthatdoesnotmean

the soul is backsliding. Behaviors and ways of being that are constricting,

limiting, and uncomfortable—criminal activity, addiction, extreme poverty,

andviolence,forexample—areallvalidpathsforasoultotakeonitswayto

learning love and self-acceptance. They are opportunities to realize the

Divine Presence no matter what the circumstances. So do not be fooled by

appearances:thereisnogoingbackward.

Understanding this concept is similar to understanding the movement of a

“retrograde” planet. Planets do not go backward, but they sometimes slow

downintheirorbitssomuchthattheyappeartobegoinginreversebecause

theheavenlybodiesaroundthemaremovingattheirregularratesofspeed.

Like those heavenly bodies in retrograde, in some lifetimes we human

“heavenly bodies” operate at a slower pace than others around us. Or we

choosetoliveoutaparticularlydifficultchallengethattakesallofourfocus

andattention,soourprogressappearstobeminimal.Butmakenomistake,

thereisonlyprogressinourUniverse—alwaysexpanding,alwaysunfolding,

always evolving. Sometimes that evolution is easy to recognize, and

sometimesit’sunrecognizable.

HowDoesPast-LifeHealingOccurintheAkashicRecords?

Past-life healing in the Records is similar to energy healing in that both

forms of healing follow the same three levels of telling your story, looking

for the causes and conditions, and recognizing the soul-level truth. The

differences in past-life healing, however, are that when you look for the

causes and conditions of your problem during Level 2, your Masters,

Teachers,and LovedOneswillhelpyou meetwith thepast-lifeincarnation

(person)thatyouwerein the lifetime during which the problem originated.

Thatpast-lifeincarnationwillthenexplainhowandwhytheproblembegan,

and how you can heal it now. Then, when you look at the soul-level truth

during Level 3, you will be given the opportunity to invite your past-life

incarnationtoeitherintegrateitselfintoyoursoul’sconsciousnessorreturn

totheLightoftheRecords.

As you might imagine, this is deep work in the Records. Attempt it only

whenyoufeelcomfortableandreadytoheartheinformation.Whenyouare

ready, you can use the following exercise to familiarize yourself with the

processofhealingpastlivesintheRecords.Dependingonyourexperiences

duringthisexercise,youmayormaynotneedtopersonallyadvancethrough

allthreelevelsofhealing.Forthesakeoflearningtheprocess,however,and

knowinghowtouseallthelevelsforyourselfandothersinthefuture,you’ll

want to read through the entire exercise. When you use this exercise with

another person, the three levels and the process will be identical, only you

willbetheoneconductingthereadingandfacilitatingtheprocess.

Exercise:WorkingintheAkashicRecordsforPast-LifeHealing

Level1:TellYourStoryfromYourPointofView

1. Duringthislevelofhealing,youwillbeworkingatthelevelofyourproblem

anditsphysicalmanifestations.Sothinkofaprobleminyourlifethatyou

haven’tbeenabletoresolve.ThenusetheprayerSeesectionentitled“Pathway

PrayerProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsWhenReadingfor

Yourself”toopenyourAkashicRecords.

2. BeginthislevelbytellingyourstorytoyourMasters,Teachers,andLoved

Ones.(Writeitdownorsayitoutloud,whicheveriseasierforyou.)Asyou

describetheproblemfromyourperspective,includesuchdetailsashowand

whenitstarted,whoisinvolved,whatimpactithashadsofar,andwhat

complicationsithascaused.

3. Whileyouarespeakingorwriting,pauseeveryonceinawhileanddecide

whetheryouarebeingjudgmentalinanyway.Ifyouare,remindyourselfthat

inthisparticularmoment,youdon’thaveacompletepictureoftheproblem.

Thenfinishyourstorywithoutjudgment.

4. Whenyou’vefinishedtellingyourstory,you’relikelytosenseashift.Itmay

feellikeasighofrelief,asifrelatingyourproblemwithoutjudgmenthashelped

yougetitoffyourchest—literallyclearitsheavyenergyfromyourheartspace

—andyou’restartingtobreatheabiteasier.You’realsobeginningtosee

yourselfandyourproblemfromabroader,morecompassionateperspective.

5. Iftalkingaboutyourproblemwasallthatwasnecessarytoclearitsenergy

blockage,usetheprayerSeesectionentitled“ClosingPrayer”andcloseyour

AkashicRecords.

Or:

If you still don’t have a sense of resolution, keep your Records open and

moveintoLevel2.

Level2:AskAboutthePast-LifeCausesandConditions

1. BeginthispartofthereadingbyaskingyourMasters,Teachers,andLoved

OnestohelpyouestablishapillarofLightthatwillallowyoutheopportunityto

meetwithyoursoulasitexistedinaformerlifetime.ThispillarofLightwill

serveasyour“Akashicmeetingroom.”You’llbeconnectedtothepillarbya

bridgeofLightthatextendsfromyourheartcentertothepillar,abouteighteen

inchesinfrontofyou.YourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOneswillholdthis

spaceforthedurationofthereadingasawayofmaintainingtheseparation

betweenyoursoul’scurrentincarnation(“you”)anditspast-lifeincarnation.

Thisseparationwillallowyoutoworkincomfortandclarity.Oncethepillarof

Lightisestablished,yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOneswilluseitasthe

conduitthroughwhichallofthereading’senergy,information,questions,and

answerswillflow.

2. RecalltheproblemyoudescribedduringLevel1.ThenaskyourMasters,

Teachers,andLovedOnestoplaceinthepillarofLightthepersonyouwerein

thelifetimeduringwhichyourproblembegan.

3. InthepresenceofyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnes,conversewith

yourpast-lifeincarnation.(RememberthatyourMasters,Teachers,andLoved

OnesareholdingthatpersonintheLightandmaintainingthespaceforyouto

dothiswork.)Ifyouneedhelpgettingtheconversationstarted,youmightask

theperson’sname.Thenyoumightaskanyorallofthesequestionstolearn

moreaboutyourproblem:

•WhathappenedduringyourlifetimethatcausedtheproblemthatIhave

now?

•Howandwhydidthisproblembeginforyou?

•Whatlessonwastheproblemmeanttoteachyou?

•Whywasitsodifficultforyou?

•WhyamIstillhavingtroublewiththeprobleminthiscurrentlifetime?

•Istheresomethingyoucantellmethatwillhelpmeviewthisproblemina

waythatwillhelpmehealit?

•Whatelsewouldyoulikemetoknow?

•IknowthatIcan’tchangewhathappenedduringyourlifetime,butisthere

anythingIcandoforyounow?Isthereanythingyouneed?

4. Duringyourconversation,keepaskingyourselfwhethertheinformation

you’rereceivingispractical,useful,andpertinent.Ifit’snot,askthepersonto

stayfocusedonyourproblem.Ifitis,keepgoinguntilyouregisterthe“Aha!”

momentthatshiftsyourperspectiveandbeginstomoveyoutowardhealing.

5. Afteryouexperiencethatshiftinperspective,youmayfeelthatyougot

everythingyouneededandarereadytocloseyourRecords.Beforeyousaythe

ClosingPrayer,thankyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesforhelpingyou

explorethispastlifeinordertolearnthecauseofyourproblem.Alsothankthe

personwhocameforwardfromyourpastlifetoassistyouinyourhealing.Say

goodbyeandthencountoutloud:“One...two...THREE!”Afteryousay,

“THREE!”clapyourhandsonce.Thiswillbothletthatpersongoanddisperse

theblockedenergyyoursoulhadbeencarryingbecauseoftheproblem.

ClappingwillalsodispersethepillarofLight,aswellasyourbridgetoit.

6. UsetheprayerSeesectionentitled“ClosingPrayer”tocloseyourRecords.

Or:

If you’re having trouble making peace with the person you were—or with

what the person did—during that former lifetime, keep your Records open

andmoveintoLevel3.

Level3:RecognizetheSoul-LevelTruth

1. RememberthatyouarestillinyourRecords,andthatthepillarofLightthat

yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnesestablishedatthebeginningofLevel2

isstillinplace.NowaskyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnestohelpyou

shiftyouraltitudeofconsciousnessuntilyouareabletoseeyourpast-life

incarnationfromtheperspectiveoftheAkashicRecords.Regardlessofwhat

thatpersonappearedtobeordo,asktoseehisorhertrueessenceintheLight

oftheRecords.Asktoreplaceanyjudgmentofthathumanwithloveforhisor

her—foryour—eternalsoul.Asktoreplacetheillusionofbeingseparatefrom

thatpersonwiththerecognitionofyouroneness.Asktostoprejectingthatpart

ofyoursoulandembraceitwithcompassioninstead.

2. Ifnecessary,speakwithyourpast-lifeincarnationsomemore.Askitto

showyouhowitdiditsbest,andloveitforitshumanefforts.Embraceits

Divinesparkasthetruthofitsessence—andstoprejectingitsearthlyform.

3. NowaskyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnestoexpandyourheart

centersoyoucaninviteyourpast-lifeincarnationintoyourheart.Makeroom

withinyourselfforthatexpressionofyourself,andenfolditinyourheart’s

embrace.Thenaskyourpast-lifeincarnationifitwouldliketostayand

integrateitselfintoyoursoul’sconsciousness,orifitwouldliketoleaveandgo

backintothepillarofLight.Whateveritdecidestodowillbethebestwayfor

youtoachievehealing,sotrustthatwhatitchoosesisforthehighestgoodof

all.

4. Ifyourpast-lifeincarnationdecidestointegrate,askyourMasters,Teachers,

andLovedOnestoassistinthisprocess.IfitdecidestoreturntotheLight,say

good-byeandletitgoasyoucounttothreeandclap.Whenyoufinish,the

energyofyourproblemwillbedispersed,andthepillarofLightandyour

bridgetoitwillbedispersedaswell.

Normally, following these three levels of past-life healing is enough to

dislodge most problems and clear their energy blockages. If you have a

tobeshownadifferentlifetimeduringwhichthissameproblemexisted,and

ExploringPositivePastLivesintheAkashicRecords

Though exploring past lives is extremely helpful for healing existing

problems,therearealsotimeswhenexploringpastlivescansupportyouin

situationsthatarealreadygood.Forexample,let’ssayyou’vebeenmadea

manageratwork.Whileyou’rethrilledwiththisvoteofconfidenceinyour

ability and expertise, you’re also kind of nervous. Being promoted to this

new position involves a lot of unknowns. You wish you had a mentor—

someone who’s “been there and done that” before, who can give you some

pointersasyoubegintonavigateyournewposition.Well,guesswhat?You

do have a mentor; it’s you! That is, it’s “you” as you were in a past life

duringwhichyouwereanexpertatmanagingothers.Allyouhavetodoto

whilereadingforsomeoneelse,youcanusetheprocessdescribedbelowand

rephrasethequestionsasnecessary.

Exercise:ExploringPositivePast-LifeExperiences

1. Thinkofasituationaboutwhichyouwouldliketheknowledgeandadviceof

a“past-lifeexpert.”ThenusetheprayerSeesectionentitled“PathwayPrayer

ProcesstoAccesstheHeartoftheAkashicRecordsWhenReadingfor

Yourself”openyourAkashicRecords.

2. AskyourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOnestohelpyouestablishapillarof

Lightthatwillallowyoutheopportunitytomeetwithyoursoulasitexistedina

formerlifetime.ThispillarofLightwillserveasyour“Akashicmeetingroom.”

You’llbeconnectedtothepillarbyabridgeofLightthatextendsfromyour

heartcentertothepillar,abouteighteeninchesinfrontofyou.YourMasters,

todothiswork.)Ifyouneedhelpgettingtheconversationstarted,youmight

asktheperson’sname.Thenyoumightasksomeofthesequestions,orcomeup

withsomeofyourown:

•Whathappenedduringyourlifetimethatcausedyoutobesosuccessful?

•Whatqualitiesdoyoupossessthatcontributedtoyoursuccess?

•Ifanyofthosequalitiesarelatentinme,howcanIcultivateandusethem?

•Arethereanypitfallsyoucanhelpmeavoid?

•Whatotherpertinentadviceorinformationwouldyouliketogiveme?

•Inyourexpertopinion,whatcanIdotoensuremyearthlysuccessinthe

•Howcanmysoulachievemaximumgrowthfromthissituation?

5. Duringyourconversation,keepaskingyourselfwhethertheinformation

you’rereceivingispractical,useful,andpertinent.Ifit’snot,askthepersonto

stayfocusedonyourissue.Ifitis,keepgoinguntilyouregisterthe“Aha!”

6. Whenyousensethatyourconversationiscomingtoaclose,youcandoone

oftwothings:

•Youcaninviteyourpast-lifeincarnationtointegrateintoyour

consciousness.

Or:

•Youcanthankyourpast-lifeincarnationforassistingyouinyourlearning

andsendthepersonbacktotheLight.Ifthisisyourchoice,saygood-bye

andcountoutloud:“One...two...THREE!”Afteryousay,“THREE!”clap

yourhandsonetimetoletthepersongo.

7. UsetheprayeronSeesectionentitled“ClosingPrayer”tocloseyour

The preceding past-life exercises work just the same whether you’re

exploring your own positive past lives or are helping other people explore

theirs.Theresultswillvarydependingoneachperson’sreceptivityandlevel

CHAPTEREIGHT

LifewiththeAkashicRecords

What I’ve learned from working in the Akashic Records is that they have

theirownperspective,whichprovidesanever-expandingviewofmysoul’s

ever-unfolding essence. Once I became accustomed to that perspective—to

thataltitudeofconsciousness—IrecognizedthatworkingintheRecordsisa

radicalopportunity to view myself and mywholelife from a very different

angle.Ialsobegantorealizesomebasictruths,whichIcallmy“Absolutes.”

FromaRecordspointofview,thesethingsareabsolutelytrueforabsolutely

every soul, absolutely all of the time. While I have numbered them for

claritybelow,pleaseknowthattheyarelistedinnoparticularorder,asallof

theAbsolutesareof“absolutely”equalimportance!

The“Absolutes”

1.There’salwaysmorethanmeetsthe(human)eye.

From the human perspective of a single lifetime, certain people and events

canappearnasty,horrible,wrong—evendevastating,asisthecasewithsuch

natural disasters as hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. And they really

arehorrible.YetfromtheeternalperspectiveoftheAkashicRecords,there’s

alwaysmorethanmeetstheeye—reasonswedon’tunderstandandultimate

benefits we don’t see. Even though this is true, the Masters, Teachers, and

Loved Ones never minimize our human suffering. Instead they offer

suggestions to not only workthrough a difficult situation but to understand

itskarmicvalue.Withtheirhelp,wecanlearnthemeaningofoursuffering,

andwecangrowfromit.Andeventually,fromasoul-levelperspective,we

mightcometoseethatabsolutelyallevents,andallofthepeopleinvolved,

aredoingtheirpartsinprovidingopportunitiesforgrowth,clarity,purpose,

and healing. We see instances of this all around us. After flood waters

submergeacity,forinstance—takinglives,destroyinghomes,andcrippling

businesses—the city’s residents reach out to each other to help rebuild and

repair, while officials band together to find ways to improve the city’s

infrastructure. Or as another example, an innocent child is killed in the

crossfireofagangshooting.Thisshockstheentireneighborhood.Yetafter

mourningtheirheartbreakingloss,theneighborsgalvanize:theyholdprayer

vigils and town meetings, they organize a neighborhood watch, and they

beautifytheirstreetsandparks.Andeventually,theirneighborhoodbecomes

abetterplacetolive.

Sodespitetheinitialpainandlossthatsomepeopleoreventscancause,the

AkashicRecordswillshowushoweventhemostdevastatingcircumstances

provide opportunities for transformation in which a larger purpose emerges

—one that helps us see beyond individual needs to the need of the unified

wholetoexperienceitsinnategoodness.Whenwevieweventsthisway,we

can see why it appears that “bad things happen to good people.” In truth,

these events are not personal at all, and no person or thing is “good” or

“bad.” The eternal perspective negates good and bad. This means that no

person or group is ever singled out for punishment, payback, or karmic

retribution.(SeeAbsolute#6.)Instead,thesebravesoulsandsoul-groupsare

actuallyenduringtheirsituationstoelevatetheconsciousnessoftheplanet.

2.WeareallOne.

AllhumansexistwithintheabsoluteOnenessofGod.Wecannotescapewho

wealreadyareoroptoutofoursoul’sjourneytoGod.Inotherwords,there

is no such thing as being outside of, or disconnected from, the Oneness.

There is only the state of becoming aware of your existence within the

Whole. So from an Akashic perspective, all souls are on their way to

discovering that we are One, connected by—and contained within—the

lovingLightofGod.

3.EverythingandeveryoneisDivine.

Not only are we all One, our inner essence is purely Divine—earthly

appearancessometimestothecontrary.Ifwe’reintheAkashicRecordsand

we look long enough, we will find the Divine essence—that point of Light

andgoodness—withinabsolutelyeverysoulinexistence.

4.Everyoneisalwaysinactivepursuitofpeace.

FromanAkashicperspective,absolutelyeveryonewantstoliveinastateof

peaceand willgotogreatlengthstoachieveit. Fromahumanperspective,

some people’s attempts at achieving peace make little or no sense. Hitler,

Stalin, and many other leaders around the globe have been, in their own

minds,socommittedtosecuringtheirownpeacethattheydestroythepeace

ofothers.Thoughtheirmethodsappearquitemadintheeyesofmostofthe

world, from an Akashic point of view, even those souls were (and are) on

their way to awakening to their own Divinity and recognizing their

connection to the Oneness. It just takes some souls more lifetimes to learn

compassionatepathstopeace.Thisdoesnotmean,however,thattheywon’t

getthere.Eventually,everysouldoes.

5.Reincarnationisnotabout“good”and“bad”lifetimes.

As I have come to understand reincarnation from an altitude of

consciousness,Ihaverealizedthatitisnotabout“good”and“bad”lifetimes

—alifetimeofcrimeversusalifetimeofphilanthropy,forexample.Instead,

reincarnation is about the journey that a particular soul chooses to take in

order to become aware of itself on the physical plane. This journey on the

physicalplaneallows thesoultocome toknowitself asDivine,togrow in

itsawarenessofitselfoveranexpanseofdifferentlifetimesandinavariety

ofcontexts.

As a soul comes to know itself, it is graced with multiple opportunities to

learn compassion and love for itself as well as for other souls. So in its

lifetime as a “criminal,” for example, that soul has a unique and powerful

opportunitytodissolvethefalsebarriersthatexistinitsownunderstanding

of its goodness. It can come to understand that the barrier is in the

perception, and that the behavior comes out of that perception. (In other

words, how that soul thinks it knows itself in that lifetime will determine

howitchoosestoact.)Butthemoreenlightenedthatsoulbecomes,themore

aware it becomes of the absolute truth that it is a physical expression of

infiniteLight,anditisfreetobegenerousandloving.Sucharealizationcan

happen in a single lifetime, as in the case of the hardened criminal who

“comes to see the Light.” Alternatively, it can happen over the course of

several lifetimes. Either way, it’s okay. Since time as we know it does not

exist in the Records, and all souls are eternal, we have all the “time”—and

thelifetimes—weneed.

6.Karmaisnotaboutrewardandpunishment.

Having learned that reincarnation is the journey of all souls that leads to

ultimate goodness and Oneness, I have also discovered that karma has no

punitive aspect. Rather, karma is a series of cause-and-effect relationships

that allows us opportunities to discover what can result when we make

differentkindsofchoices.IntheAkashicRecords,thebasisforevaluationis

always grounded in compassion. The Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones

never judge our actions; they merely help us understand them. They know

thatwearebecomingourpotential,andtheydon’tclobberusbecausewe’re

notthereyet.Instead,theyrevealboththemotivatingfactorsthatpreceded

our actions and the outcomes that most likely will follow them. It is then

(and always) up to us to choose the action that we will take next. What

resultsfromthatactionwillcreateourkarma.Itwon’tbegood;itwon’tbe

bad.Itjustwillbe.

Withoutthenotionofkarmaasrewardandpunishment,wearefreetoview

ourselves with acceptance and understanding. So from the vantage point of

theRecords,IcansaywithabsolutecertaintythatIamahumanbeingwho’s

becoming increasingly aware of my innate good ness and my innate

“Godness.”Atthismomentandinallmoments,Iamcompletelylovingand

whole—Ijustdon’talwaysrememberthatfact.ButbyGod,I’mworkingon

it!AndwhatIseewhenIlookthroughtheeyesoftheRecordsprecludesany

need for forgiveness because there is no condemnation. There is only an

exquisite love story: the story of my soul’s existence. Though the journey

has at times been filled with terrible hardships and struggle, it has been

gracedinequalmeasurewithunspeakablerichnessandlove.Andalways,all

alongthejourney,asIcontinuetocatchglimpsesofmytrueselfintheeyes

ofothersouls,IfallmoredeeplyinlovewiththeOnenessthatweare.How

gratefulIamtobealiveinthismoment,viewingtheworldfromthisaltitude

of consciousness. How beautiful we all appear in the Light of the Akashic

Records!

TheThreeNots

The shorthand version of everything I’ve just said is something I call “The

Three Nots”: Fear Not; Judge Not; Resist Not. These are the guidelines by

whichour Masters,Teachers,andLovedOneswouldhaveusliveourlives

—iftheyhadthechoice.

Irealizethesethreecanseemlike a tallorder!Rememberthatthislife is a

journey.WefearlessonourwaytoFearNot.Wejudgelessonthepathto

JudgeNot.WeresistlessuntilweResistNot.Hereishowitworks.

FearNot

AfterworkingintheAkashicRecordsforawhile,webegintorelaxbecause

we can see that every situation that ever existed either has been or will be

resolvedforthehighestgoodofall.Itmaynothappentodayoreveninthis

lifetime,yeteveryissuedoesindeedresultinpeaceandgoodness.Thegame

oflifewon’tenduntilwesoulsachievethissharedgoal.

Wealso cansee thatthereis apartof usthat isindestructible,thatnothing

can obliterate, that lives on forever. We see that we have had lifetimes of

terrible poverty, war, natural disaster, human cruelty—and yet we are still

intact. The essence of who we are is immutable. Nothing can separate us

from the essential Divinity within us, and as we come to know this as real

andtrue,fearbeginstofallawayuntilthereisnothinglefttofear.

JudgeNot

FromaRecordspointofview,webegintoseethatwearenotthejudgesof

theUniverse,notthejudgesofothers,andnoteventhejudgesofourselves!

Really! We begin to see all people, including ourselves, growing into their

ownawareness, developing theirown authority, and making determinations

ontheirownbehalf.Itbecomesabundantlycleartousthatotherpeopleare

quitecapable,andwecantrustthemwiththeirownlivesanddecisions.We

are not “in charge” or in any position of authority over others sufficient

enoughtojudgethem.

Ofcourse,westillmakechoicesforourselves,forthisistheonlyplacewe

haveauthorityandpower.Otherpeoplegettomaketheirownchoices,too,

even if we don’t agree with them. When that happens, all we can do is

choose to participate with them or not. Either way, the only thing we can

“judge”iswhatisappropriateforus.

ResistNot

If there is not a reason to judge and there is nothing to fear, then the only

thing left not to do is resist what makes us uncomfortable. The causes of

discomfortvarygreatlyfrompersontopersonandlifetimetolifetime.Some

people may be uncomfortable with conflicts in relationships, or even too

much success. Other people may be uncomfortable with humiliation or

shamefulbehavior.Whateverthereason,whenweresistandpushawayfrom

whatmakesusuncomfortable,webegintobuildanenergeticwallthatkeeps

growing all around us until the very thing we are resisting becomes the

barrierthatkeepsusfrommovingthroughit.

Resistanceisarejection.IfIamresistingapartofmyself,Iamrejectingthat

partofmyself.IfIamresistingapersonorwhatthatpersonistryingtogive

me, I am rejecting all or part of that person. If I don’t resist but just let

something be, it will go its merry way. For example, if I resist my hurt

feelingsaboutsomething,theywillbuilduparoundandinsidemeandblock

me from moving through them. However, if I can just be with my hurt

feelings,Icaneventuallyletthemgoandmakeroomfordifferentfeelings.

TheimportanceofpracticingTheThreeNotsistogiveyourselfachanceto

growmoredeeplyin the Records. Proceed at apacethatfeelscomfortable.

Takeonestepandonesituationatatime,andaskforhelpwhenyouneedit.

Asyouapplywhatyou’vebeengiven,morewillcometoyou.Theideaisto

growintotheinfiniteLight,nottobeoverwhelmedorblindedbyit.

In January 2008 I took an independent-study Akashic class in which I

was asked to go into my Records and pick something that I wanted to

manifest in my life. In my Records, I knew I wanted and was ready to

haveloveinmylifeagain.(Ihadbeendivorcedforsevenyears.)Iwasa

littleworried,butIdecidedthatwouldbemygoalfortheclass.

A few days later, I met someone. As I was getting ready for the class

session about the heart, hetold me he loved me. When I was exploring

theclasssessionaboutthemind,Isawavisionofthetwoofuslivingin

a community in the mountains. Before I had a chance to tell him about

myvision,heaskedmeifIwantedtogoonvacationtoNorthCarolina

—nearthemountains!Hesaidhemaywanttomovebacktheresomeday

FinalThoughtsontheAkashicRecords:ThePast,thePresent...

andtheFuture

Earlier I explained that the Akashic Records contain the story of your soul

overlifetimes,andthatthiscurrentincarnationhasitsownuniquestory.But

whataboutthefuture?Thepossibilitiesandprobabilitiesofyourfutureare

heldinyourRecords,too.

WeseethedeepestmeaningandtruestvalueoftheRecordsinhowweuse

themtosupportandguideusaswemoveintoourfuture.Asyouapplythat

guidance and rely on the energy of the Records, your own future will take

theformofthelifeyou’vealwayswanted.Noteverydetailwillbethesame

as you had first envisioned it, but the general direction and quality of your

lifewillmatchyouroriginalintentions.Soifyouhavebeendesiringalifeof

adventure, you will have it. If you have wanted a life of passion, it will be

yours.Whateveryoursoulhasbeenseeking,youeventuallywillfindit.You

willgrowmoreandmoreintoyourownpersonalheavenonearth.Willitbe

a life without challenges, obstacles, and stress? Of course not. It will be a

human life with physical occurrences, mental activities, and emotional

upheaval.Yet,youwillliveitfromaplaceofgracesothatascircumstances

unfold,you,myfriendandnewAkashicpractitioner,willdiscoverthatyou

areabletobehappy,kind,respectful,andgenerousevenwhenthingsaren’t

going your way. The moreyou use the Records, themore you’ll be able to

enjoythelifeyouhave.Yourlifewillcontinuetobecomemoreandmoreof

whatyoualwayswanted.

SomethingelseIwantyoutoknowisthatastheLightinyoushinesbrighter

thaneverbefore,yoursoulmatesandtravelingcompanionswillfindyou.It

willbesomuch easier for youtorecognizethoselike-minded,like-spirited

souls; and you’ll have a wonderful time together. When you meet for the

firsttimeinperson,itwillseemlikeareunionoflongtimefriends.Anddo

youknowwhat?That’sexactlywhatitwillbe!

Iwanttoacknowledgeyouforrespondingtotheinnerpromptingthaturged

youtopickupthisbook.Itisacourageousandbeautifulsteptohonorthe

call of your soul and set your feet upon the path. Know that you are never

alone,neverlost.JustopenyourAkashicRecordsandaskforhelp.Though

yourMasters,Teachers,andLovedOneswillneverintrude,theyarealways

happytohelp.IfyousharetheRecordswithyourfriends,youcanbethere

for each other in remarkable and powerful ways. On your own, you will

become a strong Light. But together, you will be a focal point of vital,

brilliantLight.

We are living in a fascinating time. What distinguishes our age from all

othersistheideathatindividualsarenowabletotakeresponsibilityfortheir

own understanding and their relationship with their own spiritual authority.

Thisisaliberating notionforindividuals,anditispotentiallydangerousto

thestatusquo.

Throughout history, humanity has been growing into the idea that it has

“say,” or authority over itself. We have been wrestling with ideas of our

relationship to authority, both human and divine, for centuries. The

movement toward responsible participation has been gaining in momentum

for the past few centuries, exemplified by the political revolutions in the

UnitedStates(1776)andFrance(1789).

Today, we are moving beyond the age of national identity to the age of

Oneness, or the global village. This has been facilitated by the brilliant,

sophisticated technology that has been made available in the past twenty

years. In the United States, the degree of political participation is greater

than at any other time in our history and is more inclusive of the various

segments of the population. On one hand, we are teetering on the edge of

disaster; on the other, we are poised to launch into an age of possibilities

beyondourwildestdreams.Thereisgeneralagreementthatouroldideasare

no longer working and that our entire planet is suffering from our limited

sense of connection to earth and our narrow sense of responsibility for its

well-being. On a collision course with global disaster in every area—the

economy,politics,healthcare,andthedistributionofresources—wecanno

longer afford the luxury of our self-centeredness. We are face-to-face with

our fears of standing up for ourselves and others in the presence of greed,

andwearejustbeginningtogettheideathatwedomakeadifference,and

that no one else is going to rescue us from our mounting problems. It is

occurringtousthatwehavearoletoplayinthewell-beingofourworld.

Spiritually, we have relied upon institutions, organizations, and even our

ownmindstogiveusthesenseofpowerwehavewanted.Wehavebelieved

that if we could just sort everything out and find our way with our well-

trainedminds,wecouldtapintothepipelineofspiritualalivenessweknow

exists.Butthishasfailed.Thinkingaboutspiritualityhasnotempoweredus.

We have certainly learned a lot, but the illusion that we could access

spiritualpowerthroughourmindshascollapsed.Wehavefollowedtherules

and precepts of both Eastern and Western religions, and these have been a

helpful start. They have not, however, provided the catalyst that we had

hoped would propel us into direct access of spiritual power. The age of

keepingourheadsdownandourmouthsshutisover.Thedayofwaitingfor

someonestronger,better,andsmartertocomealongandfigurethingsoutis

over.The hopeofone leadercomingonto thesceneand takingthehelmto

steerusoutofthemorasswillnotbesatisfied.Weareclearthattheoldway

doesnotwork.Ithasbeensuccessfuluptoapoint,butitcannottakeusinto

theexperienceofspiritualpowerthatwecanuseinoureverydaylives.The

hearteningnewsisthattheAkashicRecordscan.

When I first accessed the Akashic Records, I felt a sense of

unconditionalloveandsupportunlikeanythingIhadeverknown.Iknew

thatifeveryonecouldexperiencetheRecords,worldpeacewouldbethe

outcome.Iaskedmyself,“Howcouldtherebeglobalstrifeanddespairif

everybody felt this good?” It became my mission to assist in anchoring

totheplanetthislovefromtheRecords.

TheRecordsmadeitclearthatinordertosucceedinmymissionIhadto

firstcleanupmyownnegativejudgmentsandopinionsaboutmyselfand

my life. I was encouraged to focus more on what was right about me

rather than what I perceived as wrong. I stopped comparing myself to

others and learned to really respect and honor my own individuality. I

beganlivingmylifeconscious of myown magnificence. It is from this

place that I continue to share the wisdom and support that the Records

holdforhumanity.

—Christina

The significance of the Pathway Prayer Process to Access the Heart of the

AkashicRecordsisthatitisaspiritualmeansintoaspiritualdimensionthat

holds energy, power, and wisdom. The Pathway Prayer takes us into the

Heartofthisdimensionsothattheenergy(power)andinformation(wisdom)

informandutilizetheheart,soitcandirectthemindandthewill.Themind

iswonderful,yetithasnotbeenwhatwehopeditwouldbeforhumanity:it

does not have the sensitivity or compassion that real people need.

Knowledge is essential, yet without the heart’s guidance, it is incomplete.

The will is critical to manifesting and realizing the ideas of the mind. Yet

withouttheheart,thewillcanbecoldandruthless;iftheheartdoesnothave

itssay,thewillcanmanifestresultsthatareultimatelyunsatisfying.

At this point in the history of human spiritual development, it is time for

individualstohavedirectaccessto spiritual resources. The Pathway Prayer

Process provides direct access to the spiritual resource of the Akashic

Records, and this book is the training tool you need to cultivate your own

relationship with spiritual power. This is a new idea. It is rooted in the

awareness that no one person carries the Divine potential to transform our

lives for us. This new understanding is that each of us has the same Light

within, and no one can do our part for us—that only I can do my part, and

only you can do your part. We can no longer wait for anyone outside

ourselvestogetusoutofourdilemmasandintotheflowofthespirituallife

force,whetheronapersonalleveloraglobalone.

For the first time in the history of humanity, all persons are being called

upon to wake up to a new and wonderful opportunity, and to participate to

thebestoftheirability.Participationisnowself-determined:IcanjoininifI

want to. No one else decides for me. Participation is no longer based on

gender,race,orclass.Takingresponsibilityanddoingone’spartisbasedon

individualchoice.Eachoneofuscanseewhatneedstobedoneandhasthe

gracewithin to do it. Ihave within me the abilityand the energy todo my

individual part. I do not have the ability or the energy to do your part,

however.Likewise,youdon’thavewhatittakestodomypart,butyouhave

exactly what’s required to do what you do best. This is a fabulous system,

and it’s directly related to the Akashic Records being available to anyone

who wants to access them. Deep within all human beings is a clear and

profound sense of the Divine essence. It may be buried under all kinds of

unresolved issues and fears, yet rest assured—it’s there. The Akashic

Recordsprovideawaytobeinconscious,directrelationshipwiththeDivine

Presence in an intimate and manageable format. The Records are being

openedtononclericalpeoplelikeyouandmewhoarethehopeofthefuture.

Humanityhasbeencryingoutforhelpforaverylongtime.Helpwasgiven

firsttoreligiousleaders,thentopoliticalandeconomicleadersandexternal

organizations. But in the hands of these “others,” significant global change

has not yet occurred. This is because global change must begin with

individuals, and it must come from within. The transmission and activation

of global change begins when one soul recognizes the Divine Light in

another.Acrosstheplanet,onesoulatatime,“pockets”ofindividualpoints

ofLighthavebeguntoform.AsthesepocketsofLightcontinuetorecognize

eachother,theywillforma“blanket”ofLightthatwilleventuallyconverge

andcovertheentireplanet,radiatingthebestofwhoweareandmagnetizing

the best in those around us. This Light meeting Light will transform our

reality.

This movement of inner spiritual awareness is already under way and will

continueuntileachandeverypersonisseeninthetruthofwhotheyare.As

this Light spreads, it will form a layer of Light-consciousness of goodwill,

peace,andharmonythatwillsupportallourhumaneffortstohavelifework

ineveryway,foreveryone,allincluded.

You,dearreader,havebeendrawntothisbookbyaninnerprompting.Itis

noaccidentthat you nowholdit inyourhands.Thereis something already

active within you that brought you to this movement. The Lords of the

ReadingGroupGuide

All of the questions presented here are designed to support you on your

journeythroughthelearningprocesspresentedinthebook.Theyaremeant

to be answered first on your own, and then in a group setting. Working

through the questions in these two stages is critical. True spiritual

development requires intimate self-examination. Private, personal self-

exploration can only be done by you, for you. Doing your inner work on

your own strengthens and deepens your relationship with yourself. Even

whenansweringthequestionsonyourown,itisbeneficialtobeasspecific

aspossibleinyourresponses,andtogiveyourselftheopportunitytoexplore

youranswers.

The second stage involves group interaction with others on the same path.

Working through the book with a group of like-minded individuals is a

powerful way to accelerate your own spiritual growth. Sharing your truths

withotherswhocanhearwhatyou’resayingpropelsyouforward.Listening

validates your own journey, connects you with your traveling companions,

and expands your awareness and understanding, enriching your experience.

Givingthroughspeakingandreceivingthroughlisteningbothhelpestablish

a convergence zone for the energy of the Records, which supports the
