Akashic Learning 28: Centering

The way the Akashic Records taught me to center, and how I now teach others, is to let yourself find your center in the present moment, rather than to predetermine where you think your center should be, or to insist that it remain in the same place each time. This can surprise people with longstanding meditation practices. Recently I was a teaching a new student how to center and ground first by centering, grounding, releasing, receiving, and then bringing the energy of Read more…

Akashic Learning 27: Vague questions

Yesterday I mentioned some of the challenges that arise when a client’s verbal unloading (which is distinct from an energetic unburdening) returns a sense of clutter or staleness from their Akashic Records: a sign they are stuck in confusion and old patterns. It’s more unusual, but the opposite problem also arises, where clients don’t seem to be saying enough to bring about a response. They might articulate a clear enough question, but if I don’t Read more…

Akashic Learning 26: Managing the flow

There’s a certain amount of education that needs to be done with new clients, especially those unfamiliar with intuitive readings or energy healing. Sometimes clients will come to a session brimming over with stuff to unload. I might ask them what their first question is, and it’s like a pressure valve being released. They are grateful for someone to talk to who might help solve their problems. Often they need to let out what’s been bottled up, Read more…

Akashic Learning 25: Know your strengths

I once offered an Akashic Records reading where a client kept pressing me on the specifics of a real estate deal—when to sell and to whom—and all I kept getting were dream-like images that weren’t satisfying his desire for clarity. After a few minutes of struggling in this way, he finally suggested (to my great relief) that we move on to his real question. We both experienced a turning point in the reading when he Read more…

Akashic Learning 24: Is your practice stale?

When I was starting out in this work I used to admire readers who made it look so easy. Any time they wanted an answer they simply went within and got one. Farther down the path, however, I began to notice that it’s possible to get complacent in one’s practice. What does this look like? Generally like the work is so easy that it’s stopped being inspiring to the reader. You might see this in Read more…

Akashic Learning 23: Is it a sign?

When I first started working with the Akashic Records, they used to tell me that even “outside” the Records I was being sent guidance in the form of signs. This literally brought me to tears of great frustration because at that point in my life I couldn’t discern any of it. Was this a sign? Was that? If I was always receiving guidance, why did I feel so lost and left to my own devices? To this my Read more…

Akashic Learning 22: Healing is joyful embrace of the Self

Yesterday I hinted that healing is a joyful path, and once you tap into that dynamic, it will uplift and liberate you. A lot of clients come in for Akashic Record readings because they are so tired of trying to heal, and they really want that burden lifted. But that is not my role as a reader. I am here to hold space for you so that YOU can heal yourself. Sometimes a reading may feel miraculous because Read more…

Akashic Learning 21: We are what’s born in the dark

Yesterday I talked about how all healing is self healing, which is why I like to keep a bit of distance between myself and the label of healer. There is another aspect to this truth: Life has shown me, and the Akashic Records have taught me directly and in my work with others, that the path of the healer entails perpetual self healing. Someone once explained this by informing me that Persephone was a dominant archetype in my life. She shows up Read more…

Akashic Learning 20: Pure intention

I’ve been writing about reading prep, and today I wanted to add that sometimes I use that time to set a very clear intention for a session. My opening invocation for the Akashic Records naturally sets an intention, but in some cases I feel the need to be more emphatic. Recently I had someone request a follow up to what had been a really intense trauma healing a month prior. This time around I was feeling the energy of Read more…

Akashic Learning 19: Reading prep

Yesterday I shared how I sometimes receive guidance for clients long before they show up for their Akashic Record Readings. I don’t expect it, though. More often than not, I will arrive totally fresh. In fact, if you start telling me your issues beforehand, I will ask you to save it for the reading because the less I know the better. Information just creates more work for me to quiet my mind. There are times, however, Read more…
