WHAT ARE THE AKASHIC RECORDS?
Updated: Aug 27, 2022
The Akashic Records are a compilation of all the events that have ever happened in the history of the world. It’s also a place where your higher self or soul records are kept, and it’s only accessible to those who are ready to go there, like yourself.
According to many, the dimension in which we live is not the only one. There are parallel dimensions that coexist together. Akasha is a dimension that can help us to access the records within this dimension as well as that of the other dimensions.

On a quantum level, we know that there is a field of possibility where anything can exist. Based on our observation, we collapse a probability into a reality. That field, like the Akashic field, is non-local and connects us with each other and the vastness of the universe.
Imagine that your bucket is your body and before you enter this world, your bucket scoops up water from the vast ocean of consciousness. Of course in the ocean, there is more than just water, there are sea life, shells, rocks, plants, etc. so in your bucket, you take some of those as well.
Those contents are what you bring into this life to resolve, balance, and fulfill your unique purpose. You forget that before you were born, you had unlimited access to all that is and that although in this life you are a bucket filled with amazing treasures, your real nature is the endless ocean of consciousness. When you tap into the Akashic records, you are connecting with the ocean of wisdom that is who you truly are.

That bigger picture may include past memories that you do not remember or genetic memories from ancestors' past. Understanding the past and how it is impacting you in this life can give you clarity on why you do some things you do while giving yourself the freedom to change if needed.
Having a bigger picture understanding may also give you insight into why others are behaving the way they do and why a situation is playing out in the way it is. Understanding the external forces around you can give you clarity and guidance with regard to how to move forward.
This understanding can help you allow life to flow through you as you see that what the universe wants for you is truly amazing and that you just need to enjoy the ride to let the miracles unfold.

GET READY TO OPEN YOUR AKASHIC RECORDS
1. Practice meditation daily
Mediation has many benefits. If you are an overthinker who tends to analyze everything, meditation can help you calm your mind. It can help you select only beneficial thoughts. Also, it will expand your vibration into a higher frequency.
2. Be aware of your belief-systems
Our belief systems are created through our experiences. When we listen to words or experience something (especially where there is a strong emotion involved), we store it and use it as a program as we move forward. By identifying our beliefs, we continue to create a life that validates those beliefs, even if they limit ourselves and our lives. When things are not going the way you would like them to, see if there is a belief pattern connected that you can explore and unravel.
3. Practice visualization
It is a beneficial technique that has multiple purposes. In addition to helping you manifest what you want, it can lift your spirit in a few minutes. Close your eyes and imagine how you are overcoming your challenges, fulfilling your wishes (anything you want to change in your life). Focus on the details. Pay attention to the body signals and the way you feel at that moment.

PRAYERS AND MEDITATIONS TO ACCESS YOUR AKASHIC RECORDS
Here are some ideas for how you can connect with your Akashic records.
It is not enough to say words out loud. Everything you say must come from your heart and be filled with energetic intention and power. With that energy, here are some words that can help you open the records:
“I ask divine force to guide me through my journey. Please put your protective shield that is woven of love and light around me. Help me see and follow the light.
My Guardians, Teachers, Masters, and Loved Ones, please allow me to open my Akashic Records and find the answers I seek. I trust you. I respect you. I admire you. I allow you to guide me through my mission.
Protect me from any form of my own selfishness and self-centeredness. Please, help me to see through the eyes of the divine force so that I may know what is the highest good for all concerned.
Enable me to understand, experience, and share the compassion and wisdom my Masters have for me.
The records are open.
The records are open.
The records are open.”
It would be best to set this intention once, and then you can say it silently two more times.
AKASHIC RECORDS MEDITATION STEP-BY-STEP
Find a place that represents relaxation and peace for you. Ensure you will not be disturbed and settle in a comfortable position. If you can’t sit while meditating, you can always lay down. Lay your palms facing up on your lap or by your side.
Prepare your questions.
Set the intention to open the records 3 times.
Close your eyes and breathe. You can use any breathing technique you like. Breathe deeply and slowly.
Pay attention to your body. After 5-6 min you should be completely relaxed.
Stay open-minded. Allow your energetic body to reach into the higher realms of imagination and divinity.
Imagine entering an elevator that travels high, through the clouds, leaves our planet, goes through the universe.
Finally, the elevator stops in front of an old, wooden door.
The door opens, and you meet your Master.
Ask them to let you enter the room behind that door.
Did you get permission? If yes, you can see that behind that door is the ancient library. You can feel the smell of the old books and documents.
You can touch it, but you do not understand the language in which they are written.
Ask your Masters to find your records and translate them into a language you can understand.
Say your question(s) out loud three times. And then, be open and receptive.
Wait until you get to receive feedback. That feedback can be a sudden thought or image that appears in your mind.
If it does not make sense to you now, honor it and be open to it becoming clear soon in the future.
Thank your Masters for their help.
Ask them to escort you back to the elevator.
Go inside and allow it to take you back to where you are.
Don’t forget to say 3 times: “My records are closed now.”
Open your eyes and write down the messages you received.
If you don’t understand the answer, let your heart sort everything out on its own. Sometimes understanding the answers come later.
I hope you found this helpful and find clarity and guidance as you explore this field of information.
