The Akashic Record
Karmic Healing

The Akashic Record is an ongoing record of the journey of the soul, the evolution of this and other worlds, and the future of All That Is. Anyone living now has probably lived on Earth before — and will live again, possibly on Earth but most definitely in other realms. Fortunately we don’t have to understand how the field can exist nor how it works in order to be able to utilise it for healing. While everyone ’sees’ the Record in their own way, the underlying experience is the same. It is a connection to what we can call the cosmic memory field.

The Record is not a record of a fixed fate but rather a fluid outline map of a soul’s journey with all the potentialities that opens up. It goes way out into the future with myriad possibilities opening up as well as accessing the past. A hologram of all that is and might be, it is not in any one place as it permeates our whole universe. Our souls are connected to this hologram, each carrying a small piece that contains the whole. Incarnated and discarnate souls can visit the Records.

Souls play out the destinies we planned for ourselves in the space between lives — the interlife — although this plan may be powerfully affected by the karma we have accrued and by soulplans from others’ lives that, although outdated, still overlay our soul’s intention (see The Book of Why: Understanding Your Soul’s Journey). Our soulplan may also be sabotaged by transgenerational themes and issues. By accessing the Akashic Record, we can see what we have been (our previous lives), what we might have been (our unlived lives) and what we might be — our potential futures depending on what choices we make. All of which are mapped in the Record.

To use the Record for healing you can visualise it, or use a picture of a tree with deep roots as a symbolic ’Record’ on which you place appropriate crystals (see page 278).

Reading the Akashic Record

Do not attempt to read the Record for someone for whom you don’t have permission whether from the person themselves or their Higher Self. Once you become practised you can adapt the method to suit yourself and the information you are seeking. When you first begin, you’ll probably have ’practice runs’. That is, you’ll get glimpses but they may not make much sense. This is rather like tuning one of those old-fashioned television sets in. You get a lot of static and a few glimpses of images that move on quickly before you can fix them in place, and then gradually you can tune into an image, hold it and have the scene move on slowly enough to understand what you are seeing. Because moments of great emotional trauma and soul dramas seem to make the biggest impression on the record, these are what tend to be seen first and it is possible to tune into a specific historical event without actually having been there. If you find a scene distressing, remember that you are seeing it objectively at a distance, not reliving or embodying it. The scene can be reframed into a different outcome if it needs healing. You can also attune to the various potential futures that exist in each. This also works well if you want to assess the outcome of ancestral healing on future generations.

It is useful to have a friend with you when you first try this exercise. Ensure that the friend has been instructed, “Don’t try to pull me out suddenly if you think I’m contacting a traumatic scene.” “Treat me gently and only intervene if I ask you.” (You can arrange a signal such as lifting your arm to indicate you need help.) What is essential is that this companion is apprised of the way to bring you back safely should you wander too far or get lost in a scene:

To guide a return

✵ Withdraw your attention from that scene and disconnect your energies and awareness.* Make your way back to the lift, asking your Higher Self to accompany you. Step into the lift and press the button for ’everyday reality’. The lift will bring you down through the vibrations until you reach the place you started from. Step out of the lift and be aware of leaving the past (or the future) behind. Cross the meadow until you reach your starting place.

✵ Slowly return your awareness to the room, come into the present moment [if appropriate state the date and time]. Take a few deep breaths and then slowly open your eyes. Wiggle your fingers and toes and make sure your feet make a strong connection to the earth.

✵ Holding a grounding crystal facilitates the return.

*If there is any hesitancy about returning, your friend should ask if there is any unfinished business that needs attention and then find a creative way to deal with it if there is — higher selves are usually all too willing to offer assistance with this. Tea and a biscuit usually completes the process of return to everyday awareness.

To read the record

✵ Settle yourself comfortably in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Turn off the phone. Place a grounding crystal at your feet and ensure that your grounding root is in place. Close your eyes. Open your base chakra and let it hold you safely and gently so that you can bring the information down to Earth.

✵ Open the causal vortex chakra and bring it close to you (see page 53).

✵ Breathing rhythmically and easily, withdraw your attention from the outside world. If any thoughts pass through your mind that do not relate to this work, let them pass on by. Place a Preseli Bluestone, Chrysotile or other Akashic Record crystal on your third eye (above and between your eyebrows) and allow your inner sight to open.

✵ Now see yourself in a beautiful meadow. Feel the ground beneath your feet, smell the air and enjoy being in this beautiful place. Let your feet take you over to a small building that is away to one side.

✵ When you reach the building, open the door and go in. In front of you, you will see a lift with its doors standing open waiting for you. Inside the lift are several buttons. One is marked ’Akashic Records’. Press the button and let the lift take you up through the dimensions to where the Record is housed.

✵ As the lift doors open, your Higher Self steps forward to meet you to conduct you through the multi-media experience that is the Akashic Record. Your Higher Self may take out the Book of your Life for you to read, or hand you a DVD or show computer graphics (most of the Record seems to have been digitalised now). It may show you the many rooms and dimensions of the Record. Simply let the experience unfold before you with your Higher Self guiding the process for your highest good. If you have any specific questions, put them before your Higher Self and ask to be shown the answers as and when appropriate.

✵ When you have completed your Akashic session, disconnect your energies from the scene, thank your Higher Self and ask it to accompany you back to the lift.*

✵ Step into the lift and press the button for ’everyday present reality’. The lift will bring you down through the vibrations until you reach the place you started from. Step out of the lift and be aware of leaving the past (or the future) behind. Cross the meadow until you reach your starting place.

✵ Remove the crystal from your third eye. Close your causal vortex shutters.

✵ Slowly return your awareness to the room. Take a few deep breaths and then slowly open your eyes. Move your fingers and toes and make sure your feet make a strong connection to the Earth. Pick up your grounding crystal and hold it for a few moments. Have a drink and a biscuit.

*If there is any hesitancy about returning, ask your Higher Self if there is unfinished business that needs attention and then find a creative way to deal with it if there is — higher selves are usually willing to offer assistance with this.

Intuiting the Record

Some people never ’see’ the Record as vivid pictures but they get bodily sensations and intuitions when performing clearings and readings. If you feel a sensation in any part of your body or an emotion, let it grow and become stronger. Let the feeling tell you the story that lies behind it. Hold one of the past life seeing crystals and say to yourself, “If I knew what the story was it would be…” You’ll be surprised how often the answer pops into your awareness. Then let the feeling or sensation go. Or, with the assistance of appropriate crystals, reframe it. Follow up with appropriate crystal healing sessions until the issue is resolved and the necessary reprogramming of the ’junk DNA’ and the ancestral line has been completed.
