My Akashic Records Reading

It's been awhile and for good reason. Tuning into the collective energy, I think it is safe to say that many of us are going through rapid and intense changes. If you have not read my previous blog post on How to Fully Surrender to the Unknown, I highly recommend it. It will help you release "control" during these times.

Have you ever thought about booking a session with a medium or looking into your Akashic Records? Maybe you have been curious as to what this experience would actually be like or maybe you've never even heard of the Akashic Records. Before I share my personal experience, I would like to give preface that the Akashic Records can be likened to a library. Further, "In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all 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." I know, trippy concept to say the least. I have been increasingly curious about my own Akashic Records and feel that I was guided to an event to gain clarity on how seeing into my records can serve me.

On Friday, my friend, Hannah reached out to me with a link to a "Body, Mind, Spirit Celebration" Expo. I instantly booked the ticket without thinking too much about it. On Saturday, I dropped off some Crumbl cookies to Hannah's sister, my great friend, Ashley who's birthday just passed :)<3 Then Hannah & I drove about ten minutes to the Expo from their apartment. Upon arriving, we showed our tickets and entered into the convention center in Villa Park. We saw rows of vendors selling crystals, jewelry, cards, any other spiritual product you can think of as well as sessions with Psychics, Healers, Guides, and Practitioners.

After we explored each vendors booth, we decided to check out what classes they were offering upstairs. We scanned the schedule and decided to sit in on an hour long class about becoming the animal within. The class was about tuning into your spirit animal(s) and was lead by this extremely trippy seventy year old man who grew up on a reservation. He walked in wearing a long sleeve thermal, And1 navy pants, socks, and slides. His hair was shoulder length, stringy, and he was balding at the top. His neck and wrists were covered in colorful beads that Hannah and I both gawked at. When he spoke, he made jokes about being old and white and went off on tangents about his dog. His name is Lawrence, but he is better known as Bluehawk's Corner. Lawrence is a licensed Psychiatrist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Reiki Master who was able to answer any and all questions pertaining to each student's spirit animal inquiries. Hannah and I loved it to be honest, we were front row straight A students for the hour. He asked if any of us had a connection to a wild animal and I raised my hand and said, "dolphin." He informed me that dolphins have to do with breathing and asked me if I had asthma as a child. I told him, "no, but my friend did." A day later, in my session with Lisa, the Akashic Records Reader, I would find out that this was a message meant for me.

After the spirit animal class, Hannah and I each chose a souvenir from the expo and expressed how great of an experience it was for each of us. That night, I had dinner with my friend Taka as we went to watch a UFC fight (non-duality, baby) and was thinking about the classes that were on the board of the expo for Sunday. As I was texting Hannah to come meet up with us, I asked her about the classes and she sent me the schedule. There were classes from about 9am-7pm & I saw Akashic Records with Lisa at 11:00 am. I threw it out to Hannah that I was interested in it and she said, "I'll go if you go" and so, we went.

Sunday morning I was excited to wake up, get dressed, and go! I skipped out of my house around 10:00am. It was a sunny, twenty minute drive to Hannah's apartment where we both eagerly met up and she drove us again ten minutes to the expo. When we walked in, we got a couple of coffees and went to Lisa's class. Lisa shared her story of how she was divorced, lost, suicidal, and on seven different types of prescription medication before being led to open her Akashic Records. With two kids and an apartment to herself, Lisa befriended a reader who gave insight into her own records (offering immense amounts of healing and intuitive guidance to get off of all medications) as well as a job as an Akashic Records reader!

When she was done explaining how she fell into starting her own practice, she opened up the class to questions about the Akashic Records and the services she provided. I asked her questions about spiritual boundaries when channeling and Hannah asked her the average number of each of our past lives to which she answered, "About 100,000 or more." We both felt compelled to go deeper with Lisa and so each decided to book a fifteen minute session with her after the class. Hannah went first and we waited about an hour and a half until I had my session. Because our experiences were so personal, I will skip sharing hers, but continue on with sharing my own.

When I sat down with Lisa, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and calm move through my body. I admit it was hot in the convention center and I was wearing a turtle neck and a heavy crew neck sweater. I was *sweatin'*. Hannah sat to my left and Lisa and I faced each other as we all three closed our eyes. I took several deep breaths as she began the introduction prayer for our session.

"The Akashic Records are now open," Lisa said as she paused for a moment more after reciting the opening prayer. She then opened her eyes and politely asked, "Can I share?" To which I eagerly nodded, yes! She told me that she saw I was chasing a beautiful butterfly and that the butterfly lands on my head and opens up my crown chakra. She began to express which of my upper chakras needed some attuning and clearing. Lisa then asked, "Ever thought about becoming a Reiki Master?" To which I said, "Yes, 100%" She replied, "Do it." With so much clarity and certainty she said that I want to be able to expand the energy around me. To be able to work with it and help other people. This honestly caught me off guard because I have just recently been thinking about taking a Reiki course and getting my certification. It was just further confirmation that our higher thoughts are guided.

We went deeper into my records and she told me ways in which to connect through dance, to the higher realms saying that my feet are on fire and to keep going. I was also guided towards recognizing that I am not meant to accept less than I am and that it is important for me to only allow love and light to enter into my field. As someone who consciously explores her shadow side, I recognize that not all is love and light, but that it is important to protect myself when channeling. Additionally, as someone who has been in abusive relationships (one so intense it set me on my spiritual path. You can read more about there here), I often feel I attract people into my field that have shown me that a deeper self-love is necessary. She also led me to be more demanding with my guides, asking for signs if I am being guided somewhere or to do something (like a Reiki certification) for confirmation. The information given to me resonated at such a deep level that it is difficult to express in words how strongly I felt connected to what she was saying. She reminded me to keep breathing as I often hold my breath due to stress. As previously mentioned, the same message was given to me just a day earlier in the spirit animal class. Lisa spent most of the session with her eyes closed, connecting, only opening her eyes to communicate the messages received. I spent the entirety of the session relaxing my body with my palms open and facing up in my lap.

Through continued exploration, I found that most of what I was already being led to came through in our session. Signs, numbers, thought patterns all of these are divinely guided and when we choose to take the leaps of faith and act on our higher thoughts/inspired actions, we enter into a higher level or timeline that allows us to flow with universal intelligence. From processing this reading, I have anchored in more trust in myself and my intuitive hits.

During our session, Lisa said that the dolphin spirit is reminding me to ride the wave while using my imagination and that I am also part of "the pod" and that I am going to meet my pod people. I had not mentioned at all during our session that this is something I have been setting an intention towards so this again, was further confirmation that my thoughts/intentions are heard and felt. Lately, I have been calling in more of my "spiritual tribe" or people that I more deeply resonate with as many from my past simply remind me of versions of myself that I no longer resonate with, but still send love to. In meditations or throughout my day, I have simply been setting an intention to attract more people who resonate with me at a soul level. If you are reading this, chances are you are part of my pod and I am so grateful for your presence :)

As we continued looking into my records, I asked about some confusion I have had around whether I am meant to keep my art and music separate from my healing practice or if I should marry them. Lisa said that I am meant to marry the two and that I am going to be doing even more so it's about allowing myself to embody all of it and recognizing that those that are attracted to my art may be attracted to my healing and vice versa. She then, out of seemingly nowhere, said "And you do hypnosis?" I had not yet mentioned anything about my certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist so this, to me, was further confirmation that she was connecting with my specific records. We spoke about how I want to go deeper with hypnosis and explore past-lives which she described as "lives between lives." She gave me references to Michale Newton and a series of books he has written as well as being open to more teachings.

During the last five minutes of our reading, I felt called to discuss my dad, who passed away when I was twelve from a massive heart attack. Although it has been over a decade since he passed, I still strongly feel connected to him and shared that he communicates with me through music, coins, and overwhelming feelings of love. Lisa politely interrupted and said, "No. He comes through you. You are already channeling him and when you are doing your artwork it is not just you who is doing it, he's guiding you. Your hand is his hand." She told me, "That's pretty cool, I've never....A lot of people don't do that, or even ask. He's there and he's...whoa....it took him awhile to learn it on the other side...he loves learning how to connect with you." Then she asked "Did he struggle before he passed? Depression?"

To which I replied, "I think so."

My dad was a Marine who was drafted at eighteen and that was just one of the many challenges throughout his lifetime that I think contributed to certain habits like alcohol consumption. I told her that I was not sure because my dad did not talk much about his emotions. I could feel that he was emotional, but this was not something he expressed often. I began to express how since my dad's passing, my own accident with alcohol (fell on my face in college), and my brother's accident (brain injury, coma, amnesia), that I have strong boundaries with being around alcohol and that it often still triggers me. I told her that I recognize that I seem to attract those into my field that struggle with alcoholism or addictive personalities and that this also tends to trigger me. She said that no matter if he drank or did not drink, he would have passed, but that the reason he drank was to help us understand (his children) what he went through and to see what the alcohol does to other people and when I am open for it, to help other people who have alcoholism by getting out of my fear and helping other people who are like him. She went deeper in speaking on the difficulties that service men and women go through when re-integrating into society. She ended his channel with, "...He's umm...He's cool. He is, enjoy him and ask him for a sign when he steps in."

In the last minute or two of our session, Lisa looked at me and split my face with her hand saying, "It's like you have a line down your head, this side is darker than this side. It almost feels energetically like half of you is him and half is you. You need to make sure that you say "Ok, I am done" and release him when you are done channeling. She explained that I should give him and any other being(s) I channel a time limit and that when I am done, I must send them away with love and light. It was interesting to me that this was the very end of our time together and she had just fully answered the question that I had when Hannah and I went to her class earlier this morning when I asked about boundaries when channeling.

It has been nearly a week since our session and I am still processing. I believe this session has allowed me to open up a deeper line of communication with my guides and my dad. I believe that I will still receive so much from our time together and that I am reintegrating from the massive amounts of healing that took place. I feel like I have been propelled into my highest timeline for the good of all.

As I am starting/maintaining my own healing practice, I must be able to do the work that I am asking my students/clients to do. I must be able to look at my own triggers, inner workings, and connect more deeply with the spiritual realm. In order to guide others back to their own authenticity, I too, must remain authentic. In a world that constantly conditions us to disconnect from our true nature, it is more important now than ever to be our own guide and our own healer. This does not mean doing all the work alone, but instead, means asking for help, signing up for classes, and taking courses that allow you to be led by someone who has done what you want to do.

I believe it is important to recognize that it is not about getting caught in a healing loop. We are each more than worthy in our own right to experience the best this life has to offer as we are, with nothing to add or change. If you are like me, you can get caught up in always wanting to be better, but I urge you to recognize that deep inside you know the truth, you are without question, more powerful, more guided, more protected, and inherently worthy of the life you wish to lead.

There is no one else with the same energetic frequency as you. This universe is way too intelligent to allow someone who is not meant to be here, to exist. The way I see it, the deeper we explore ourselves, the deeper we connect with each other. Everything I do is for the little girl who used to sit on her bed and try and make her bedroom door shut with her mind. Everything I do is to create a way for others who are deeply, though possibly unknowingly, connected to the unseen. There is so much to be said in owning your authenticity and allowing yourself to do, be, or create that which resonates at a soul level. Honor your intuitive guidance. Book a session with someone you feel connected to. Trust your heart over your head, it knows the way. If all else fails, remind yourself that you are exactly where you are meant to be, you have exactly what you are meant to have, and the beauty is in opening up to appreciating every single stage, lesson, phase, and moment of this life. At some level, we each chose to be here.

My intention with writing this is to not only remember this experience, but to inspire those who come across it to trust who you are led to.

With love and immense gratitude,

Kristin
