What is perhaps most intriguing about the Akashic Records is that they contain the records of every thought, action or word of every existence.  Hence, they are known to hold all the birth, life and death information of every soul in the human realm and every being in the universe.  They contain the energetic blueprints about origination and each soul through its journey across all lifetimes.  How we are all connected to our family members and to one another can also be found in the Akashic Records.

“Akashic Records” is also known under different terms.  It is alternatively known as an etheric library, the “Book of Life”, the “Universal Computer”, the “Mind of God”, the Cosmic or Collective Consciousness, the Collective Unconscious or the Collective Subconscious.  The word “Akashic” is actually an ancient Indian Sanskrit word that means “sky”, “space” or “aether”.

Metaphorically, many psychics or readers experience the Akashic Records as some kind of library. They relax themselves to a certain meditative state and then tune in to be in this library.  They are then able to retrieve just about any information there-is; past, present and to some extent, the future.

While many are tempted to think that Akashic Records exist somewhere out there, it is essentially through the godspark, the inner connection to the Divine that allows the access.  A spiritual practice helps in gaining that connection.  A mind that is cluttered with thoughts, little awareness in consciousness, distrust in the information passing through and perceptual filters can influence the content of what is read.

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), perhaps the most famous Akashic Record Reader, was asked to explain the difference between the Book of Life and Akashic Records:

Q: What is meant by the Book of Life?
A: The record that the individual entity itself writes upon the skein of time and space, through patience – and is opened when self has attuned to the infinite and may be read by those attuning to that consciousness.....
Q: The Book of God's remembrances?
A: This is the Book of Life.
Q: The Akashic Records?

Much of discontentment and lack of happiness in our current lifetime are presented in the form of blocks and obstacles. We wonder why we seem to be facing endless struggles in becoming the success that we think we deserve.  We wonder why we keep reliving the same dramas and negative patterns in our lives.  We wonder if it is ever possible to change our luck. 

Having our akashic records read provide us with the clues in what our blocks and obstacles are.  At the root, we also gain an understanding of who we are at soul-level.  We also get to know what natural gifts and talents we are meant to express and bring forward in our current lifetime. 

To get a reading of your akashic records, most psychics or intuitive readers require basic information such as your birth name and birthdate.  Some may ask for your permanent residential address. Others may ask for your photo.  Limited as the information required is, it is possible to unearth your entire soul records. 

In most instances, you do not have be physically in front of the reader.  From any location in the world, a psychic or intuitive reader is able to access your records by retrieving them from the etheric library.  You then get to receive a call or a report to summarize the findings after the reading is completed.

Amazing, isn't it?
