What Are the Akashic Records?

The Akashic Records are often described as an energetic archive or field of consciousness that holds the imprint of every soul’s journey.

The term Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning sky, ether, or primordial space—a field beyond form that holds the memory of all that was, is, and will be.

Across time and culture, mystics, prophets, and spiritual leaders have described this concept as “a living archive of the soul”. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, it’s called the Book of Life. In other cosmologies, it’s known as the memory of nature, or the divine record.

Today, we refer to it as the Akashic Records.

The Records are like a vast energetic library—and like any library, the possibilities for inquiry are limitless. You may pose questions about past lives, receive messages from loved ones, or seek supportive guidance for the path ahead.

Over the years, many gifted readers have helped shape how we understand and access the Records, including early pioneers like Edgar Cayce and Linda Howe. Today, a new generation of readers is emerging—deeply intuitive and highly skilled.  

I received formal training and private mentorship with Hilary Pearlson, an experienced guide and teacher whose devotional presence and intuitive mastery helped me learn how to open my own Records with trust and grace. Working with her changed everything for me. I learned to ground my energy, stay open, and truly listen to what came through. Her offerings continue to shape both my spiritual practice and my life.

If you feel called, curious, or open, trust that the Akashic Records offer a rich and loving space to explore the deeper layers of your soul.

The Akashic Records are a central part of my spiritual practice, offering an ongoing source of guidance, clarity, and creative inspiration. They have helped me access a deeper and more meaningful understanding of myself, my purpose, and my soul’s journey.

How I Use the Akashic Records

The messages I receive help me make aligned decisions in both my personal life and my business; in fact, the majority of my written content and offering development has emerged from this co-creative space.

I currently access the Records 3–5 times per week and have been committed to this practice for years.

Over time, my ability to access the Records has evolved—from fleeting symbolic impressions to channeled writing, and now to clear, prolific voice channeling. The messages pour through me, and I simply listen and record. What once felt subtle has become an ongoing dialogue—one that is profoundly intimate and lovingly received. I truly can’t imagine my life without this practice.

My Akashic Ritual

As a channeling practice: I usually open the Records while walking in nature—a ritual that seems to amplify my connection. I begin with a guided Akashic Journey to relax, ground my energy, and enter the Records through prayer. Once inside, I feel a distinct shift in my energy field: the light changes, animals appear, and subtle synchronicities shimmer around me. It is a beautiful, radiant state of consciousness—spacious and calm.

Most often, I enter with a clear question or intention; other times, I simply receive what wishes to emerge. The messages arrive as full narrative transmissions—rich, deep, and poetic. I allow them to flow through me, speaking and recording them aloud as they come. Later, I transcribe and reflect—discerning patterns, tracing themes, and identifying invitations for inspired action.

To enhance tarot readings: I often open the Akashic Records for comprehensive, in-depth, or complex tarot readings. The Records serve as an energetic amplifier, heightening the resonance and deepening the field of the reading. They expand the architecture of the spread, creating a powerful synergy between the archetypal wisdom of the tarot and the intuitive knowing that flows through the Records.

Depending on the context, I’ll open either the Records of Pure Tarot or the Records of the client. When this layer is present, the messages reveal themselves more fully. I receive clairvoyant flashes and deeper insight into the layered meanings held within the energy of the reading.

If you're curious to explore the Akashic Records, I’ve created a simple two-page Guided Practice outlining the exact steps I use to prepare, open, and close the Records. It also includes the Universal Akashic Prayer I recite when accessing the Records.

While this guide offers a beautiful place to begin, it’s not intended to replace formal training or mentorship with a skilled teacher, such as Hilary Pearlson.
