Love in the Akashic Records

When people learn to access their Akashic Records they come into conscious contact with the flow of their soul. For some it is a feeling of homecoming, like re-encountering something dear and familiar after a time of forgetting. For others, being held in a field of unconditional love an be so overwhelming it moves them to tears. Still for many, the very prospect of entering the realm of the infinite and eternal sets off so many triggers. Will I be able to do this? Am I imagining things? Am I worthy of standing in such sacred space? (more…)

The Fool’s Journey

Late last November I was sitting in meditation and had the distinct feeling that I should drop everything I was working on and clear the decks. For what, I had no idea. This had been a growing sense at the margins of my awareness for a some weeks prior, but it hit me with a sudden force while I was meditating, and when I felt more consciously into it, my body felt an immediate sense of relief even though my mind was protesting. The message to wind down Dreamers & Schemers was clear, though for no good “reason” and with nothing to fill its place. (more…)

All your questions are already answered

“I had a question about that!” These were the words of my client during a recent reading. I was responding to her question, and somehow that response managed to answer another question that she had forgotten to ask, but was resting somewhere in the back of her mind, lingering in her heart. “That was my next question!” or “I was gonna ask that question!” are also common utterances.

It never fails to amaze me when an Akashic Record reading anticipates our questions. (more…)

Case study: Opening to possibility

 

I repeatedly tell my clients that an Akashic Record reading—at least the way that I offer it—is not predictive. The readings I offer call for your own engagement in the process, and to have any real effect on your life you will have to walk your path consciously, by making your own decisions rather than taking marching orders from on high. That said, sometimes it looks like a reading “predicted” something accurately. I’d like to share a story to look more closely into that phenomenon to show that it is actually the client’s doing, and not mine, when something the Records said “comes true.” (more…)

My love affair with the tarot + deck interviews

I’ve been posting some readings for fun on Instagram. I don’t consider myself a tarot expert, by any means, but ever since I started teaching myself how to read cards during my two-week silent retreat in the winter of 2015, I’ve regarded it as a complement to my Akashic Record work because it helps train my intuition. When I first started learning, my mind really wanted to memorize all the definitions of the tarot cards right off, but I know from my Akashic Record work that my inner vision is razor sharp. Still, it takes constant discipline for me not to reach immediately for a reference or pull from the encyclopedia in my brain before really giving the card images time to sink in. The readings that are most fun for me are when the meanings hit me even before the wheels in my head start turning. But sometimes I just have to breathe through the discomfort and let the meanings open up on their own.

I go in and out of phases where I spend lots of time with different kinds of decks (I also like oracle decks, and I am a HUGE fan of tarot/oracle apps), but I like to pull daily cards pretty regularly, and I also do modest three- or four-card readings quite often.

One of my other favorites is the “interview” spread to get to know new decks. You can pretty much ask the deck any question you want, but I recommend some variation of the following: (more…)

Integration

For the last two months I’d been wondering why integration has been such a challenge for me this year. I experienced this most acutely in my Akashic Records work and in my aerial work and training. I knew I was making progress, but it didn’t look like the sort of progress I was expecting, and all the new skills and strength I was developing didn’t seem to be coming together into a coherent whole.

Yesterday, as I was preparing myself to do work in the Records, it hit me: All this learning around integration keeps coming to me because I set the intention, at the beginning of the year, to integrate all that I had learned last year. I had also set a second intention to help others integrate their work with me into their daily lives.

Of course integration is the work in front of me now. I did a ton of learning last year, I’m doing a ton of learning now, and it takes a long time for all that to settle into body, mind, and heart.

From my Question Journal practice, Akashic Records work, and in the context of leading Dreamers & Schemers, I know very well that I teach what I need to learn, I learn what I want to teach, and I always get what I ask for. The gifts rarely look as I expect them to, but those are the best kind. Why did I torture myself by falling into expectation, attachment, and doubt?

For a bit more insight I drew a soul card and was faced with this image: (more…)
