All about Akashic Records

Close you eyes and picture the biggest library your mind can fathom, now imagine that every single shelf is filled with an account of every souls journey and experiences. This is how people often think of the Akashic Records. It is believed that when one enters the Akashic Records, you can access all information about your past lives, present, and future lives and also all information about the paths of others. In general, this record is considered a place where all truths are known.

The term Akashic has its roots in the Sanskrit word “Akasha” meaning “ether” or associated with the atmosphere. In metaphysical teachings, Akasha is the element of magic. It is also the elemental synthesis of the four physical elements, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Thus the Akashic Records are thought to exist in the ether and embody all aspects of all occurrences that have taken place, including human lifetimes.

Some people believe that a guide must help you enter the Akashic Records and that you need the approval to investigate specific information about your path or the paths of others, in order to keep you from delving into information for which you are not ready or which may be counterproductive for you to have. However, we are all psychic beings and the Akashic Records, as part of the Collective Unconscious, links all of us as individuals with the Divine.

The biggest obstacles to accessing the wisdom of the Akashic Records can be doubt and fear. If you have high expectations that it has to look or feel a certain way, you may actually block yourself. Instead try to keep an open mind to what appears through all of your senses. Though it is believed that the Akashic Records contain all information about events past, present, and future, and thus are valuable for divination and healing, it is also believed some boundaries apply. Think of searching the Akashic Records in a similar way to doing a Google search. You can call up a search for specific information about disease and healing, about past lives, about relationships, about soul contracts, and the like. Yet, you will also have to go through the filters from your guides. If your guides don’t see you as being ready to have a full view of certain details, you may be blocked from receiving certain information at a given time
