My Journey with the Akashic Records
When I first heard of the Akashic Records it was on a random website that literally made it sound like the most obscure thing ever. Immediately, after reading a couple sentences, fear set in, my heart was waiting, but my mind was like heck no, this is some new age white people shit. We don’t do this.
Then, slowly, as I got trained as an energy coach and ventured into energy space alone much more often, I felt myself opening to what else could be there for me. As synchronous as it could be, I encountered a podcast episode by a woman of color who had her own connection to indigenous knowledge and even had her own school to support students with cultivating their own relationship. I had been listening to her podcast for a little while, and all of a sudden she was interviewing this woman who worked in the Akashic Records (a white woman btw).
There was something about the way that this woman described her transition from being a lawyer to becoming a coach and Akashic Records reader that literally spoke to the depth of my heart. She made it simple in a way that no one else really had up until that point in time. She said something along the lines of “at one point I just knew, my career in law was over.” She didn’t demonize the entire career she had pursued up until that point, she just communicated that it was complete. There is no other way to express how it feels when everything you’ve ever known and has been right & true, no longer feels that way.
In the online world of business, people make the 9AM to 5PM job seem like such a drudge with endless amounts of drama. I get it, some of that shit sucks. But never did that ever touch a nerve for me because my current job was never absolutely miserable, it just was. It was the thing I felt like I was meant to be doing, it’s just many of the duties associated with my role as a teaching college professor never quite felt wholly fulfilling. I was often finding other opportunities outside my main job to be more deeply connected to what mattered to me (service at the college specifically and writing independently or creating brand new curriculum all the time). All in all though, that left me pretty exhausted as I was doing it on top of my regular job duties.
And so, the way this woman had expressed this sentiment by saying, “it worked until it didn’t work,” was exactly the precipice I was standing at: it no longer works and yet I am unsure of what fully comes next…. Am I jumping into a new business full-time? Am I trying to find a new role in higher education? Will I dare explore the private sector for a role?
At that point in time, all the questions were present, and I was about 2 years into researching the career possibilities and also actively “doing” a lot through my business. So when I heard her say this and then accompany it with the idea that she didn’t like to just deliver information from the Askashic Records, she wanted to help people be able to DO something with that in their lives, I knew I needed to consider working with her.
What you might not know about me is that I don’t sign-up for tarot card readings or psychic support in any way. I don’t like having access to information for the sake of having access to it (whether it’s about the past, present, or future). I hated the idea of showing up to get all this stuff - some of which I didn’t ask for, to then be left with a whole sack of information I now had to carry. I wanted to understand the purpose of having that information, no matter how much I read about the Akashic Records in online blogs or on people’s random websites, it wasn’t clear what you were supposed to do with what they presented to you. So, when I met this wonderful human who was trying to support people in actively integrating this information in their lives, I was like heck yes. I have a partner who will help me be with all the stuff that comes up and will support me with seeing how I can actually use it in my everyday life.
Fast forward a year, I ended up working with her, and in our time together, I created my own rituals and connection to the Akashic Records. By the end of our brief 3-month journey together, it was clear, I wanted to learn more about the records for ME.
I never really imagined myself as a channeler or ever working with anyone using the Akashic Records. What I did know at that point was that I wanted to learn how to enter them consistently and use them to support me in my own healing. There was a childlike part of me that was like WOW, I have been enamored with books and stories my entire lifelong. What would it be like to enter the spiritual equivalent of the same? What adventures and new stories lie for me there?
Alas, a month or so later, I signed up to work with a mentor to develop these abilities further and spent all of my summer in 2024 just practicing with myself and others to understand and use the Akashic Records in various facets of our lives.
But, as you can see, my doubt of the records came from those who were seen at the front lines of it: a lot of white women, many who were blonde, btw. I found it an anomaly that my Akashic Records coach was a white woman with brunette hair! And so, when I eventually found my mentor, someone I had been following for a while and was often giving me information about the records through emails, I knew it was time. This was a woman of color with dreads and an amazing light-hearted playful way about her. I felt so grateful that literally when I was desiring to learn more about the Akashic Records, she was holding a live event that eventually ushered me into her training program.
This is what I love about the Divine and the Akashic Records, they always know what you need before you can even formulate the words to put it together. I desired safety, in my current human body as a woman of color, to explore this part of the Spiritual realm. I knew that somewhat consciously and then was given the opportunity to engage with her and get to know her in a few different ways which all led to me saying, “heck yes”. I’m in this!
It wasn’t until I finally decided that maybe I should practice and do this work with others that I saw and felt the comfort that my physical being brought to other women of color, who had heard of the Akashic Records but never decided to get a reading or even explore it until I offered some free readings. I even encountered others just like me, who feared the information they would receive, and still these conversations happen occasionally with friends and loved ones.
And all I can really say and consider is where this blog post began: if fear exists there, it’s for good reason. I was fuckin’ scared when I heard of the Akashic Records because for the first time, my soul and heart were activated in a way my mind couldn’t make sense of at all. That’s been the journey of this lifetime up until now, to honor my intuition as it speaks to me, even if it goes against this very heavy logical mind that is seeking to protect me at all times.
My mind had every reason to be in fear, the work in the Akashic Records has literally been the most easeful work I’ve ever done that has brought me so much joy and fulfillment. I never saw myself as a vessel through which messages could be delivered, I never could imagine being open enough to surrender to the Divine in such a way as to be of service to others. Yet, here I am, doing exactly that.
And so, if you’re scared of the Akashic Records or wondering what the heck this thing is, ask that you be guided to the resources and people that make you just a little more curious, slowly begin to pay attention to what is brought onto your path.
