What Is an Akashic Record Reading? A Path to Clarity, Peace, and Soulful Alignment


Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle you can't quite explain? Perhaps you’re repeating patterns in relationships or struggling with an unshakable sense of restlessness. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from your life purpose, confused about your next step, or carrying a deep, inexplicable grief or fear.


If any of this resonates, an Akashic Record Reading may offer you insight, healing, and peace. This channeled, soul-centered practice is a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with your truest self and receive loving guidance for your path forward. It brought me here to you.


My Story- I was introduced to the Akashic record about four years ago by my mentor Candice Rasa. (Who is doing RBI approved research on the Akashic Readings effect on Mental Health Outcomes) I was brought there for curiosity's sake. I was curious about who my spirit guides were? If I was following my life's purpose? How could I be a better mother? A better wife? What messaging does the universe have for me? 

Now mind you, I grew up Catholic and so mysticism was not foreign to me. However, due to the strict Catholic doctrine,I was aware that mysticism was only allowed in the Catholic Church if it was approved by the Catholic Church. Yup, you heard that right. We have saints that heal, speak to the dead and channel Jesus. However, anything outside the church’s approval, well lets just say going to heaven can be a tad bit more difficult.

So naturally I was a bit apprehensive however even as a young person I always knew that there was more and that I was unconditionally loved by God. And so because of that I opened my heart and my mind to the possibility of there being more. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful my reading was. How accurate. How supportive. How loving. And it reinforced a lot of what I already knew, but had forgotten. I had forgotten because I was afraid, because society told me differently, because I lost touch with me.This was a doorway for me to begin to access more of me. The me that I had been neglecting. It was an immensely powerful, lighthearted and deeply nourishing experience.

Fast forward a year later and I was seeking the record’s support with some huge transitions that had me facing the truths of a difficult childhood and marriage, and the challenges I would have to face to create a better future. This reading would not be light and fluffy but it was exactly what I needed to hear to begin the journey out of the darkness that I found myself in. I was offered community and the opportunity to learn to read my own record and eventually read for others. I jumped at the opportunity. Like hell yeah! Everyone needs to be able to access the record. It is a space of such deep love and support, the kind of support I knew existed as a child. That God was always speaking to us through the trees, animals, spirit guides, serendipity and within. I never really stopped believing that but I did start to believe that I had to do everything on my own. Somewhere in the in between I started to believe that I didn’t deserve better and that I deserved the bad things. Working in the Akasha, reminded me of these truths. I deserve joy, peace, and abundance. I wish the same for you. 


What Are the Akashic Records?


The Akashic Records are often described as a “divine library of information.” But unlike any earthly library, this one is energetic — a frequency of consciousness that holds the vibrational imprint of every soul’s journey across time. The word “Akasha” comes from Sanskrit, meaning “primary substance,” or “ether/space” — that from which all things are formed. It is a field that transcends time and space. Think Google Cloud but instead ALL UNIVERSAL MEMORY. Yeah that's right, Mind blown! 

Every soul has a record. Your Akashic Record contains the history of all your past and current life lessons, patterns, gifts, challenges, relationships, karma, and joys — everything your soul has experienced and learned throughout its incarnations. 

And here’s the beautiful truth: it is your divine birthright to access your own records. No special religious affiliation is needed. No gatekeeper stands in the way. The Akashic Records are a sacred space available to all who genuinely seek them with love and light in their heart.


Why Access the Records?


We live in a world that often teaches us to look outside of ourselves for answers — to experts, timelines, formulas, or even other people’s opinions. But the Akashic Records invite you to turn inward and upward. They offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental lens to understand why certain patterns repeat in your life, what soul-level contracts or wounds might be influencing your experiences, and how you can begin to shift into alignment, peace, and harmony.

Clients often come to an Akashic session feeling:

  • Confused about a decision or major life transition

  • Disconnected from their purpose

  • Emotionally overwhelmed or energetically drained

  • Haunted by the past, or uncertain about how to move forward

  • Burdened by trauma, grief, or relationship wounds

  • Stuck in limiting beliefs or patterns that feel bigger than “just this life”

The Records do not judge, diagnose, or instruct from a place of authority. They meet you where you are, with love and clarity. They illuminate the “why” beneath your experiences and offer the “how” for your healing.


What Happens During a Session?


An Akashic Record Reading is a channeled, intuitive experience. During the session, I open your Records with permission, entering a meditative space and connecting with your soul’s unique frequency. From there, I serve as a translator — a bridge — relaying information, imagery, guidance, and healing energy from your Record to you.

Various benevolent beings may come forward to communicate — masters, angels, teachers, messengers, guides, and deceased loved ones — each offering wisdom for your highest good.

You may ask anything you’d like during a session. However, the quality of your questions shapes the clarity of the answers. For this reason, I encourage clients to come prepared with written questions — ideally one at a time — to support intention-setting and allow space for clear, direct responses. And yes, follow-up questions are always welcome in the moment. Your curiosity is a sacred part of the process.

Some example questions might be:

  • Why do I keep repeating this relationship pattern?

  • What am I here to learn in this life?

  • What past life influence is affecting this situation?

  • How can I release this fear or resistance?

  • What is the deeper purpose of this current challenge?

  • What spiritual gifts am I being called to activate?

This is not a psychic reading or a rigid forecast of the future. It is a collaborative conversation between you, your soul’s wisdom, and the loving beings who support your healing. Many clients describe it as deeply moving, empowering, even sacred — an energetic homecoming of sorts. For me it definitely was. I felt such deep knowing when collectives, angels,ancestors and holy figures connected with me and my sense was I missed them for it had been so long in my heart that I had last seen them. It was a deep remembering for me that connected me to a whole other level of living, seeing and feeling on this earth plane. For all my senses have been activated and continue to so much so I can feel the heartbeat of the world.


The Records Can Help With


We all carry stories. Some we know consciously. Others live in our bodies and spirits, passed down from ancestors or etched into our soul from another time. The Akashic Records gently illuminate these stories — not to overwhelm you, but to help you understand and reclaim your power from them.

An Akashic Record Reading can help you:

  • Break free from emotional patterns that no longer serve you

  • Understand karmic relationships or soul contracts

  • Uncover the root of chronic fears, resistance, or blocks

  • Grieve and release pain held from this life or others

  • Reconnect with your inner wisdom and intuitive gifts

  • Find peace with your past and courage for your future


What Clients Often Feel After a Session


After an Akashic Record Reading, many clients report feeling:

  • A deep sense of peace and emotional release

  • Spiritual clarity on situations that once felt murky or stuck

  • A renewed sense of purpose and direction

  • A more compassionate relationship with themselves and others

  • Validation of their feelings, fears, and life experiences

  • Empowered to take next steps — whether small shifts or big leaps

Some describe it as a profound “remembering” — as if they are hearing truths they always knew, but had forgotten.


A Note on Integrity and Empowerment

As your guide in this process, I honor your autonomy. I do not interpret your records as a place of authority, but with reverence and care. Everything shared in your session is meant to empower your highest healing, not create dependency or fear.

You are not broken. Your soul is not lost. The Records are not here to “fix” you — they are here to remind you of your wholeness, your wisdom, and your worth.


How to Prepare

  • Set aside quiet time and space for your session, free from distractions.

  • Bring 6 to 10, written questions — you can always ask more as the session unfolds.

  • Be open to receiving, but not attached to specific outcomes.

  • Consider journaling afterward to reflect on what was shared.



An Akashic Record Reading is not just an experience — it’s an invitation. An invitation to heal. To deepen your relationship with yourself. To step into the light of your soul’s truth with compassion, curiosity, and courage.

Whether you’re navigating a crossroads, seeking meaning, or simply curious about your spiritual journey, the Records offer a space of safety, insight, and deep resonance.

You are never alone. You are always supported. And your story — in all its complexity and beauty — is sacred.

Love and Light!
