The Akashic Records are a vast higher-dimensional storehouse. It holds each person’s energetic imprints (past, present and potential futures). These archives have been drawn on by spiritual luminaries (like Edgar Cayce, Rudolph Steiner, Yogananda and others), and by major religions as we have previously described .

Since the Akash is not a normal physical or digital library, there are understandably misconceptions about its actual nature.

Let’s dispel four common myths about this “Book of Life,” so you can better understand it and open to  receive its many profound benefits.

Myth #1: You need special abilities to access the Akashic Records.

These “Hall of Records” are an open source, freely available to anyone. Yes many psychics and mediums do use it in their work.  Nonetheless, anyone with the right intent and preparation can directly experience this priceless resource.

In other words, if you are willing and receptive you can access them.  Having some training will help too.

Myth #2: There is only one way to enter the records.

Some teachers use a certain way to access the records, be it a prayer, invocation, meditation or visualization. But there is no one way.  Different ways can work for you. It’s good to see a variety and pick the one that resonates most with you.

It’s just a matter of opening to the experience with the right approach for you.

Myth #3: The Akashic Records is a literal library filled with books.

Yes some people do “see” a library when entering the records.  And they may view many books and/or scrolls containing the information they are seeking. And there may be record keepers there, too.

Just know this is not a literal physical or digital library. And not everyone even uses the representation of a library when in the records.  Nor do you “need” a record keeper to assist. All of this can be useful, but not required to have a profound experience in this cosmic “library.”

To comprehend this energetic database, the aim is to make the information intelligible, translatable and useful. If seeing a book serves your purpose fine. For others, it might be like a movie screen or computer.  For others, it might be sensing a story play out. You may get images, symbols and messages as well.

Here’s something important to realize. By keeping your linear, logical brain out of the experience, your reading will unfold in a natural way.  You want to not “think” here but allow and be in flow. If you think about it, you will disconnect, lower your state, like having an internet connection drop out.

After the experience is over and you have exited the records, you can enlist your analytical brain to assist you.  Also over time, some of the experience may come together with aha’s and breakthroughs, as you metabolize the data into your awareness.

Remember this Book of Life, as the Bible refers to it, holds your records and everyone else’s in the collective unconscious. It’s all stored in the higher realms of the Akashic Records. Yes these energetic chronicles do record our lives in linear time. Know, though, that this energetic database exists outside of time and space.

Myth #4: The records tell your future.

There’s a reason the records can’t predict your future with certainty.  We all have free will and can change the path we are on.  In addition, outside events, like war and natural disasters, can greatly disrupt where we are heading.

To be sure, we all have trajectories we are trending toward based on our past as well as current thinking and actions.  For example, if we keep overeating and not exercising, our health in the future will look bad.  But we can certainly change the way we eat and exercise and head toward a healthier future.

Clearly, our past patterns – in this lifetime and previous ones – influence our outcomes. So following up our lifestyle example above, you create multiple possible futures depending on the choices you currently make with your daily eating and exercising patterns.

We do have free will to navigate through life’s complexities. Many factors are always at play, both internally and externally. The future is dynamic and not set in stone.  Certainly, the Akashic Records can provide important information to consider the choices we make now that will influence what is to come for us.

The records are a non-judgmental neutral recording of events along with thoughts and feelings we’ve had or do have.  What we do with those records, including how we interpret them, is up to us. In short, it’s a powerful resource to be used wisely.

The Status Quo and Higher Realities

The mainstream sets up certain conditions to consider something real and credible. So what the status quo consider as “real”? It must be physical, tangible and measurable by our external senses.  In contrast with the materialistic mainstream perspective (and what it believes is possible), the Akashic Records operate in a higher dimension, beyond conventional norms. This is a different realm from what is conventionally accepted as “reality.”

Higher realities, by definition, exist beyond our current 3D reality, although the higher does include the lower. And the lower cannot see or understand the higher, which is part of the spiritual laws that structure reality.

The mainstream reality is also a small part of the higher worlds. The higher dimensions — which are beyond the physical and where we will find the Akashic Records — exist, even if we are unaware of them, or can’t prove them by ordinary measurements.

So it’s understandable that myths and misconceptions surround this Book of Life, which is metaphysical, containing a vast compendium of everyone’s lives and experiences.

So how can we reconcile everyday CNN reality with the higher realms?  In order to grow and accelerate our evolution, we have to let go of our logical minds that holds sway over our everyday lives and reality. If we choose to open to a higher reality, we can transcend the brain’s limiting capacities. And importantly, accessing the records develops our intuition, a key capacity for spiritual growth and understanding higher realities.

As a note, our brain is vitally necessary for survival and certain processes, but there is a limit to its function.

Final Thoughts on the Akashic Records

By learning how to open a space for them, the records become an extraordinary resource for our spiritual growth. They give you superior insight and direction. Learning how to read the Akashic Records is part of our Spiritual Guidance Certification Program.

In the process, your horizons wonderfully expand. So do your possibilities for a more magical, meaningful and exciting life. 

The post The Four Biggest Myths about the Akashic Records appeared first on Spiritual Living, Guidance and Healing.

What if there was a way you could easily access and evolving library of records of your past, present, and future? What if there was also a way to mold your spiritual journey to optimize your growth and enhance your experience of life in magical and mystical ways?

Yes, there is such an open source available to everyone: the Akashic Records. It’s sometimes called the Book of Life, the Universal Library or The Hall of Records. This cosmic library holds all human events and experiences. It contains the energetic imprints of every soul’s journey. Yes, it’s hard to get our minds around that.

To be clear, this is not a Hollywood movie, although imaginative stories are certainly drawn from this vast database by creative writers. And the Akashic Records are open to everyone.

So how do you enter this “library’? The good news is with methods like certain meditations, visualizations and past life regressions, everyone can access their own records, with their past, present and potential future.

The Akashic Records in History

Across different cultures, this universal repository of knowledge and experience has shown up many times.

Hinduism has the idea of the Akash or Akasha, a foundational ether and the vast expanse where all things exist. Buddhism has “Buddha nature,” sometimes connected with a universal consciousness or storehouse of knowledge. Native cultures believe in a collective memory and connection with their ancestors.

And there are more references, including theosophy with writings by Madame Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. Furthermore, Carl Jung’s notion of the collective unconscious shares much in common with understandings of the Akashic Records.

Spiritual Wayshowers

Highly advanced spiritual figures have used the Hall of Records as a key part of their work. Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet,” accessed the records in his trance communications hundreds of times, evaluating health and relationship issues and pointing out valuable solutions.

Also in the early part of the last century, Rudolph Steiner — a multi-talented person whose roles included architect, occultist and clairvoyant — used the term “Akashic Chronicle.” He maintained that this cosmic memory was available to all who can perceive beyond the physical world. It interconnects the spiritual with the physical realms.

Paramahansa Yogananda, who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi and brought yoga to the west in the last century, also tapped into this cosmic library. He referred to this universal consciousness in exploring the interconnectedness of people and the higher planes of reality.

The Akashic Records Phenomenal Value

You are certainly entitled to learn from your own records.  But to read others’ information from these records, like Edgar Cayce did with extraordinary depth, takes permission, an “informed consent” to read another’s records. Also, to access another’s records takes a certain ability as well.

As you learn how to access your own records, they become more and more usable and revealing. The powerful benefits of exploring the Akashic Records include:

* Understanding Past Lives

You will get a deeper and broader sense of who you are by viewing your past incarnations. Personally, we’ve been able to connect with many past lives going back to Atlantis and more. They explain certain tendencies we have in this lifetime and illuminate areas to work on.

With a greater awareness of your past, it is easier to learn, grow and change now. It also helps to create a bright future going forward.

* Healing and Transformation

As you gain insight into your multi-lives existence, it becomes clearer in which areas you now want to address, including karmic patterns from the past.

For example, Jane has dealt with fears carrying over from past life experiences about the destruction of Atlantis.  On a smaller scale, Phillip has been alerted to slowing down at times, so as not to miss things or make mistakes like those that happened to him in past lives.

Overall, you become more equipped to deal with the recurring patterns in your life. Some of these programs (automatic responses) may be quite unconscious. Nonetheless, they are still playing out in your external world by what happens to you and how you react.

The Akashic Records offer an objective history for recognizing problems. Then, in turn, you can heal and gain insight.

* Spiritual Evolution

As the book of life reveals your weaknesses, it also highlights your strengths. You can use your intention – what you aim to focus on – to get specific information that provides clarity and direction. Crucial areas come to light, such as the origins of a problem and aspects that were hidden from your awareness.

For example, once Phillip saw himself as a sailor going down with the ship in a torrential storm.  After seeing that experience, he never had vertigo again, which had been a lifelong issue. Sometimes, of course, more examination and healing is needed.

As a result of the powerful evidence from the Akashic Records, you can become more clear-eyed and open-hearted. You treasure the records as a higher dimensional place. It’s like a sacred cosmic sight holding important knowledge in a pristine reserve for you.

Using the Right Approach

As mentioned, it’s best to learn how to open the records for yourself, rather than depend on another. It’s more empowering and reproducible. In any event, you do need to validate the accuracy of the reading for yourself.

How then do you authenticate the information you receive? You can evaluate your reading by further reflection and observing how the information plays out in your life.

Also here’s something important to keep in mind. When you are coming from a soulful perspective, you will be discerning with the information.

Approach the Book of Life with an open mind and sense of humility. It’s a higher-dimensional place that should be respected for its extraordinary value, as if you were taking in a masterful work of art or visiting a holy site.

Final Thoughts on the Akashic Records

Why are you living on earth here now?

The answer contains multiple reasons, including to learn, grow, heal and love. From this big-picture view, the Akashic Records is one the best resources you could ever have.

We go deep into the Akashic Records — the how’to’s with powerful knowledge and support — in our Spiritual Guide Certification Program.

The post The Extraordinary Value of the Akashic Records appeared first on Spiritual Living, Guidance and Healing.

What’s one of the most important elements of our spiritual growth that we take for granted?  Connecting with nature.

Connecting with nature – particularly the core elements of fire, air, water and earth – can enlighten your daily life and accelerate your spiritual growth. This “ecotherapy” also makes us feel good.

All of the natural elements are essential to being alive on the earthly plane.  They are foundational for life. We share the same space with these elements and co-create with them.

Nature is talking to us all the time. But are we listening? Let’s delve into this essential relationship between us and nature.

Harnessing the Fire Element

The fire element is all around us. It radiates out from the sun, generating heat and light. So how do we use this amazing two-fold fiery source?

Heat relates to your passions. What gives you meaning and excitement? Is it service, art, relationships, healing, research, communication or something else?

By following your passions in a grounded, heart-centered way, wonderful things happen. You tend to be in the right place at the right time with the right people.

Besides its heat, the sun’s light shines awareness on yourself and the environment. Consider now what the light is revealing about your inner and outer world to you. What is going on inside you? What is going on outside of you?

Fire Practice:
Ask yourself, “What is one of my heart-centered desires and how can I follow it?”
“What’s showing up in my life now and what’s my next step?”

Harnessing the Air Element

The air element connects with your thoughts. The mental processes that float in your mind can be quite inspirational or deflating, analytical or restrictive, constructive or destructive. The idea is to keep your spirits and thoughts up so that they ward off the negative thoughts that naturally arise. That way you will intend to avoid negative thinking and ruminating.

Intend to increase the positive and decrease the negative.

Your thoughts will attract ones that are like it in vibration. Let your thoughts be like the air touching your skin, exerting soothing or exhilarating energy.

If you get caught in a negative current, just be aware of that and pivot to a positive one. Your intent is sometimes all you need to shift from limited thoughts to more expansive ones. Sometimes you do experience the challenges of negative, turbulent thoughts, which you can learn to handle. This kind of introspection leads to growth choices that will strengthen you.

And remember we grow from experiencing a wide range of thoughts and feelings.

Air Practice:
What am I thinking now? Is it energizing or draining me or something else?

Savor the positive if it is occurring.  If limited thinking is there, put it into the bigger picture. This might include some healing and support.

Harnessing the Water Element

Water is all around us and, like the other elements, we take it for granted. We are the proverbial fish who don’t recognize they are swimming in water, to use a watery metaphor. We often only notice water when it’s lacking – missing it when the well runs dry.

We can be much more intentional, however, which will serve us well.

Water supports us in countless ways with its life-giving fluid. Water is meant to flow through you. You can use it as a carrier. It can carry the good things and clear up the bad things. Water connects with our feelings as well.

In other words, let water (often signifying feelings) purify and detoxify your body. Let it remove the junk accumulated from troubling feelings, thoughts, and experiences that you have picked up along the way. Let them flow through you. And those difficult feelings (like fear and despair) can also be used for future learning and awareness.

We grow by experience and water is a carrier of positive and negative energies that can heal us — and, if unchecked, overwhelm and even drown us.

Take a moment now to feel the energy in the environment around you and how you are interacting with it. Sense how you fit in to your current environment. Feel the flow. Be with people intentionally, non-judgmentally and lovingly as possible.

Then good things will naturally be attracted to you. Notice when that occurs, those uplifting synchronicities.

A Synchronous Example

Phillip was at his local coffee shop while editing this article. He thanked the barista for serving his coffee and told him that he was doing a good job. Then out of curiosity, Phillip asked him what was the “dragon drink” listed on the menu. With a smile on his face, the barista offered him a free sample.

Consuming the pinkish foamy liquid may have connected Phillip with his inner dragon. Afterwards, he again thanked the server for the complimentary dragon drink.

Positive thoughts and feelings are reinforcing between people. It circulates energy and promotes flow states.

Water Practice:
What am I feeling now? Is it expansive, contracting, or neutral? Let me savor the uplifting feelings and release the restrictive ones. How can I be more in flow now?

Breathe in and exhale. Drink or imagine drinking pure, clean water.

Harnessing the Earth Element

The earth element makes up the dense physicality of the body and the environment. It is the matter we use as raw material for sustaining ourselves and to use creatively.

Part of how we relate to the earth is influenced by the other three elements: fire, air and water. It’s important to get a sense of the following: How do we relate to our passions, thoughts and feelings.  Are they working for us or against us?

When thoughts and feelings are out of balance, we have a warped perspective of the material world. Desensitized to the environment, we become careless. It can drive us to excess, being impulsive and riddled with fears and doubts.

Use the earth as you would a sacred bunch of clay that you can shape lovingly and artistically. It is malleable but does have limits. Earth is physical and can be used and transformed in multiple ways to support yourself and enjoy your life. It can be used for art or material to survive. So be flexible and open to using the matter that’s all around you.

Here’s a helpful guideline for relating to the earth element: Don’t overuse it or underuse it. Look for the Cinderella effect which is just right. For example, how much do I need to eat and spend? And that changes from moment to moment. Using resources wisely brings balance and fulfillment.

In cases of lack (such as lacking supplies or money), we may need to be patient or more diligent. It can help us appreciate what we do have (gratitude) even amid the lack of materials. Sometimes having limitations spurs creativity too.

In sum, consider all the earth offers us, so freely and abundantly. Appreciate the precious natural world that we can use for our creative palette, for our craft of living a life well.

Earth Practice:
What materials do I choose now, such as building materials, physical tools or technology? How can I best access them and use them?

How can I appreciate them? How can I be grateful for everyday common materials like the roads I drive on, the cup I use, and the pen I write with?

The Interconnection of Humans with the Elements

All the elements are interconnected. It’s also apparent that we humans influence the elements just as they affect us. The storms in our minds, the outer conflicts with others, our careless actions do impact the environment.

We can create calm or turbulent waters. We can have clear or dirty air and electricity.  The elements will respond in kind.

Consciously connecting with nature – think of a sunset, waterfall, or mountain – makes for wonderful and awesome experiences.  By contrast, ignoring nature stagnates us. Such neglect causes misuse of the very elements that are here to support us.

Final Thoughts on Connecting with Nature for Spiritual Growth

Harming nature by polluting, mistreating and neglecting it, degrades the elements, which directly affect the quality of our environment. We are interdependent on nature.  But treating the elements well provides a wonderful world in which to live.

If we foster good relationships with nature, it helps us physically and psychologically, from improving our blood pressure to reducing anxiety and depression.

As we more consciously respect and use the elements, things get better.

* We raise our vibration
* We make it a point to regularly visit beautiful areas like mountains and seashores and watch sunrises and sunsets
* We act on healthy passions
* We keep our thoughts focused upward and address negative thinking
* We feel our feelings and manage them in the moment
* We respect and value the physical environment

Nature is all around us. Without it, we wouldn’t exist on earth. It’s inspirational to wake up to this fact. Then the ordinary becomes extraordinary — and precious.

What we support, supports us. We – humans and nature — are all in this together.

How then do you recognize the signs to get on your highest path or one that is highly beneficial for your growth?

This leads to some important questions: what do you need to do and to avoid? Let’s examine your possibilities to create this wonderful future you.

A Helpful Metaphor for Your Soul’s Plan

Say you want to go to a tropical island.  You prepare for the trip and plan to depart, knowing that this will be an exciting adventure, one that you feel inspired to do.

But someone told you about another trip you should take. So you get distracted and forget your longed-for trip to the tropical island.  It turns out that by following the other person’s advice, you go in a very different direction. You end up in a cold winter land with snow and mountains. All your swimwear and snorkels are of no use here.

How to Find Your Soul’s Highest Path

Your soul does have a plan for you. It’s a fluid, dynamic path where you can express your gifts and develop your talents. With a direction in mind, you can grow and love. You can also heal the areas that need attention.

You do have free will to create your destiny. In our metaphor, it would mean following your heartfelt passions and going to the tropical island, rather than listening to others and ending up in a frigid place.

By opening your heart, you sense the best path for you. You don’t need to do what others advise, unless it aligns with your deeper desires. And sometimes by going in the wrong direction, you do learn what is the right direction for you.

Do’s and Don’t’s on Your Spiritual Path

There are no hard and fast rules here as you write your life story. With your soul’s prompting, you step up and become the hero of your own story.

Some do’s include following your passions in a grounded way. It means developing your creativity gifts and skills. It means addressing inner wounds, such as fears, doubts and separation.

As for avoids, watch out for perfectionism. That means fear of going forward because you might make a mistake. You will of course make mistakes, but you’ll learn and grow in the process.

Also watch out for procrastination. Staying in the same place too long becomes a rut. “Someday” never comes. The ducks don’t line up. All the money and time are never perfect for going forward. Sometimes you must feel the fear and do it anyway.

With Your Left and Right Brain’s Help

The left brain is good at language and categorizing, sometimes too much so.  By overanalyzing, we can become narrow minded, too cautious and security minded.

Yet the left brain can help us focus and articulate what we want. Our logical mind can help us strategize and take care of the details.

The right brain is more intuitive, going beyond rational thought. It’s more aligned with the heart, amplifying connectedness and wholeness. Your heart can give you the energy and inspiration to follow your passions. Your soul — along with guides and angels — will help.

Strategy: Open your mind to your most exciting and fulfilling life.  Breathe… reflect… what might be possible…

Final Thoughts on Your Soul’s Highest Path

To help follow your highest path now, imagine your final moments in this life. You look back at the path you chose. Knowing that you followed your soul’s input will give you deep satisfaction and fulfillment. You did your best. You followed your heart and soul.

Coming back to this moment, in the here and now, you realize that there is no need to delay or be perfect.
[pullquote align=”right”]Right now, you might not know exactly where you are going.  But you can feel into it, with an open mind and open heart.” [/pullquote]

Right now, you might not know exactly where you are going.  But you can feel into it, with an open mind and open heart.

Consider your talents and heartfelt interests, what inspires you. By going in that direction, you will inspire others and elevate them on their paths, too.

Yes, now you can truly take charge of your life, without controlling or pleasing others. You can keep your head up and heart open. By expressing your deeper truths and following your path, you grow into a more caring, and creative self-actualizing being.

Breathe in the aliveness now… breathe out any fear… you can take your next step on to your brightest future. Congratulations!
