Akashic, the word translated from its Sanskrit roots, means  (a term coined in the late 1800s from akasha or akasa, the Sanskrit word for “sky”, “space”, “luminous”, or “aether”)‘that which holds all. This ‘database’ of information transcends all realms and dimensions and can be thought of as a massive library of information. In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human.

Akashic records reader Simrin Gregory likens it to, “an energetic database that stores every choice we have ever made as individual souls.” These can also be thought of as a celestial mirror, reflecting our choices and desires, and when required provide an audience with our Higher Self to understand how these choices have impacted us. Eg: A creative person in a number-crunching job that doesn’t align with their soul path will feel depleted and unhappy. Accessing the reasons behind this choice gives them the option to align with their soul’s purpose, and make a choice that brings them into their bliss.

How to access your Akashic Records?

Theoretically, everyone can access their records. It’s about finding the right meditative frequency to connect to and channel the information through the subconscious mind into the conscious mind. Setting your intention and having crystal clear clarity on the questions you want to be answered are very essential. Often breath work, active meditation, exercise, or a form of divination like tarot reading or reiki is the key to unlocking this information. “One must have some sort of meditation practice which has proved successful in helping you gain confidence in accessing your intuition,” says Gregory. Learning and practicing reiki opened up intuitive pathways which never knew to you and had eventually led you to the Akashic records.”
