What are the Akashic Records?
The simplest way to explain it is this: the Akashic Records are the records of the journey of your soul. It is a body of knowledge that contains every experience a soul has. It is therefore, the memory of where your soul has been since its inception, where it currently is and all its future possibilities, until its return to its source of creation. Think of it as the cloud, where there is a folder that bears your name and it stores every thought, feeling, emotion and action of yours, in each lifetime you go through. You can access your records any time, any place, as you can your folder in the cloud. There is a record for every living thing, every community, city, country, planet, galaxy. And each record contains information of the past, present and future of everything that exists.
The Akashic Records are not a religion, they are a dimension of consciousness . The word “Akashic” comes from the Sanskrit word “akasha” that means ether, soul or primary substance, that of which all things are made. “Records” are archives or a place where information is stored and contained. So basically the Akashic Records are the memory of your soul, of everything your soul has experience in each life it has materialised in a physical body. Because of this, they are also known as the Book of life, or the Book of the soul.
When referring to the akashic records, there is this underlying concept of reincarnation. Our soul goes through so many different lives from its inception or separation from its source of creation, till it goes back to that which originated it. And every such experience of the soul, every feeling, action, choice and thought of each lifetime, is imprinted in this akashic archive and available to access any moment.
Time in the realm of the Akashic Records is not linear as we perceive it. It is circular, where past, present and future are in continuous connection. The records of the past contain those experiences lived either in prior lives or current life. The archives of the present are the actual recordings of what is currently going on. And the record of the future is your soul’s purpose and the knowledge and skills necessary for you to accomplish that mission. All of this is a great body of knowledge that is available to all to guide us in our paths.
So how do we access the records? Earlier I mentioned that the Akashic Records are a dimension of consciousness that contain a record of the journey of your soul. It is a dimension not seen by us, but that we can experience and perceive, just like we do with our dreams, astral travel, déjà-vu or the unconscious. In order to access them, we need to tune in to this different level of consciousness. How do we do that? There are a variety of ways to transition from the state of our ordinary mind to this higher level of perception. Some people do it through hypnosis, meditation, working with energy healing as reiki, while others use a pathway prayer. This last one is the one that works for me.
The pathway prayer process consists of using a prayer that has certain sound and rythm generating a vibrational energy that allows you to tune in with the vibrational energy of the Akashic Records. Just like you do when you want to listen to a certain radio station, you move the dial up and down. This is the same concept. With each line in the prayer, your vibration and energy changes till it matches that of the records and they open up to you. Your awareness is therefore expanded to channel the information from the records. Throughout the process, you are conscious and aware of everything going on around you. What changes is your perception. It is expanded, so you feel the energy and light of the records flow through you, and messages in the form of sound, images, emotions and writing are made perceptible to you to download.
In the past, this information was only accessible by priests, intellectuals, monks, shamans and artists. These were thought to be enlightened people, with special powers, that were more knowledge and wiser than the rest. In the late XIX century and early XX several individuals with a high level of conscious and connection with the Akashic Records contributed to raising awareness of the existence of this realm and the possibility of accessing it. Some of the most well known are Annie Besant, Madame Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, Rudolf Steiner and Alice Bailey. Today, anyone can interact with the akashic records by tuning in to this higher level of consciousness to seek guidance, clarity and understanding.
When using the pathway prayer process, we call upon the Lords of the Akashic Records, Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones to share with us the information we need to know at that time. I will deep dive into this in another blog, but let’s just say for now, that the Lords of the Records are the custodians of this realm that work at a universal level and decide what information is to be revealed to the Masters, Teachers and Loved to pass on to the individual seeking guidance. And the Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones, work at an individual level. The role of these is to help us walk our paths, develop and grow.
Opening your records is a journey into your soul’s true path and your personal development. It will bring you clarity, and make you aware of things you had no idea. It will help you understand the origin of the obstacles and limitations you may feel are present in your life. It will allow you to make better and more conscious choices. As Linda Howe tell us in her book “How to read the Akashic Records. Accessing the archive of the soul and its journey”, the records play by the following rules: judge not, fear not, resist not. Whatever information the Akashic Records have to share with you, it will always come from a place of love for you and for your higher good. Also, whatever you share with them, they will not judge you. And finally, whatever they reveal to you, will change your perception of yourself and the experiences you are going through, so do not resist, because resistance stops change.
