Akashic records - has anyone tried using the Pathway Prayer Process to access them?

[Alena]

Hi! Has anyone tried using the Pathway Prayer from Linda Howe's book (Amazon.com: How to Read the Akashic Records: Accessing the Archive of the Soul and Its Journey (9781591797043): Linda Howe: Books ) to access the Akashic records?
The book makes it sound very easy - you say the prayer, it "shifts your consciousness to a divine level" and then you'll be in the records.
But it doesn't seem to be working for me.
So I'm wondering if anyone had a different experience with this book.

I have never accessed these records myself. However, i know there are at least two pyshics on these forums that can do it for you .

I've already had a professional reading. I'd like to learn how to do it myself now.

Well Alena,

I do not think it is that simple. As to my experience, it very much depends on whether you're meant to have this ability. I know people to whom the "door" to the Akashic records opened spontaneously. But there are many others, like myself, who are simply not meant to read in them.

I have even received an initiation (similar to reiki initiation) into the Akashic records and was told that the nature of it, metaforically speaking, can be compared to a much faster internet connection. But, at the same time, I was told that I wasn't meant to develop these abilities to a large extent. Unlike Lenka, my girlfriend, who has it spontaneously, even without the initiation or book instruction. My life task is different from hers.

Sorry, if that's not what you wanted to hear. I have no experience with that book. I should be sleeping by now but I have a sore throat and when i lie down I start coffing violently. So I'm rather sitting on the internet and telling you what I believe with regards to such things.

As far as I understand, everyone has the right to access their own records.
And this books says you don't need to be psychic for this.
Of course, for some [lucky] people it will be easier than for other people.

"As far as I understand, everyone has the right to access their own records."

I believe so. I was talking about accessing Akashic records generally. Other people's...

"And this books says you don't need to be psychic for this."

I don't know. But in a regression therapy, for example, you do access them.

Ok..
no, I'm not interested in other people's records at the moment.

[themaster]

My teacher said we all have access to them in the "sanctuary of the pink diamond" basically or theoretically I should have access to them.. but I've never made too much of a attempt.. (perhaps I'm lazy)

He's never given a guided meditation that talked about accessing them and looking through there.. he has given meditations about accessing past lives and those have been weird

It might be in a future class.. as I understand it.. you might be able to follow his course and then get a more guided/specific meditation for access through "the sanctuary of the pink diamond" which I believe is also called your 4th chakra the heart one

i have not read the book. i get access to bits and pieces of my Akashic records as they come to me (example, i know a few significant other lifetimes, or when i am balancing karma through a specific interaction, i am able to confirm this is reflected in my records), but i don't really try to access them all at once. since my abilities are naturally strongest through feeling and empathy, i am not sure how it would work to visit the Akashic Library. i mean, i could feel how it feels to be there but i'm not sure how i would process the info.

i think for a lot of reasons we would access them, there are other methods to gather the same info. is there a specific reason you are focused on this process, and is the intention in accessing your records something you might be able to do with a different process (checking karma, other lifetimes, etc.)?

i am wondering if your baseline vibration is interfering with the process? it could be the Pathway Prayer lifts up one's vibe significantly, but if someone is feeling low/stuck/frustrated/hopeless/etc. then perhaps that person may need to sort through those vibes and be in a naturally more joyful place for it to work? i dunno, it's a thought.

It's fairly easy to get into your Akashic records via a prayer, it's not that different from talking to spirit guides. But there is so much info in the Akashic record that you need to be specific about what you want to know and ask good questions rather than just 'tell me something about my purpose'. (I don't know what questions you've been asking but that's an example of a not so good question!)

There are lots of different aspects to your purpose (e.g. your energy centre of training - basically the energies you bring, your soul group of origin, miscellaneous roles you fulfill in this lifetime, etc) and unless you know what kind of things you can look up and a bit about the different archetypes, you probably won't get very clear information.

If you are interested in exploring the different archetypes to find out which is yours, let me know I will recommend you a book.

I don't know...
when I first heard about Akashic records, I wasn't really interested in them.
But then I was constantly "bumping into" this concept, so I finally got interested and booked a reading.
I didn't get much info from the reading, though. So now I want to explore this area myself.

maybe... i thought I was pretty joyful, but maybe not joyful enough

for a not so good question - will they give any answer at all?

what are those archetypes?

book recommendation will be great. thanks.

They might. But it's always easier to ask something less open-ended.

The book is Soul Mastery by Susann Taylor Schier. They sell it on Amazon.

Good luck!

Thanks! I'll check it out.
Is the book about "star seeds" only, or does it cover Earth souls as well?
I was actually told that my soul has an Earth soul blueprint...
(but I don't want to believe that, that's boring )

[theuprising]

Shouldn't free will trump any "life plan"?

Alena, i came to understand something earlier this evening and it relates to the topic so i wanted to share.

since i have been following this thread (and even just now) i felt a similar pull or zing at the idea of the Akashic records. earlier today i thought about it and noticed a shift in my energy (happening again now).

so i did some conversating with my guides, in part to see if it was a message to check into my record. it turns out, the energy of the Akashic is a very high frequency, enough that it will be noticeable to a sensitive.

but, i confirmed, at least in my own case, this is not a message that i need to pursue the situation. it is just the way my vibe responds to the high frequencies involved in the Akashic record.

i wanted to share this in case it may apply to you as well. it doesn't mean you can't continue this process of course, it only means there is a chance your own sense of pulling was happening for a similar reason. or, i figured it's possible, so i wanted to share what i learned.

[Alena]

that's interesting. thanks for sharing this, rei!

[rei]

most welcome, Alena! might be one of the first times i experienced that intuitive pull thing when it wasn't specifically an 'explore this' message. found it quite interesting myself

[ChrisL]

Hey everyone!

I'm new here. I found this thread on the Akashic Records so I thought I'd mention a few things that might help.

I've worked with the Akashic Records since I was trained in 1991. I see clients and teach internationally. Everyone does contribute to them and can access them, but there might be a few reasons that we aren't consciously doing it.

I've read Linda Howe's book and her information is different than what I teach. Some of her information is not my direct experience. I also know Susann Shier though I haven't read her book. If you already can consciously access the Records, then a prayer is enough to get in. Actually just wanting to get in and remembering the experience would then be enough. But if you've never accessed them before it might not be so easy.

In general, it's a matter of building up your energy/chi and staying awake in a pre-conscious state (that state right as we go to sleep and right when we're waking up), as well as releasing any internal conflict about accessing them (i.e. Do I have the right to see them? Am I just making this experience up?) If we have any limiting core beliefs then add those into the mix - not only in accessing, but in interpreting the information, which is vital. I use a mixture of techniques for students, that include preparation, deepening techniques, and meditative scripts, because different things work for different people.

As far as life purpose - it totally depends on the individual. We tend to have an original reason/purpose for coming into this system (i.e. love, courage), and a more specific one for each life - which can be almost anything. Some people have even finished with their "career" of lifetimes and don't really have a life purpose - these people are usually left with a sense of wanting to contribute, to be of service, and might have difficulty initially choosing what to do because they have such a range of abilities to choose from.

Depending on the senses that are dominant in your waking life, those senses will likely be the ones that you receive info with when asking questions. The trick is to use whatever senses present themselves, then move into a multi-sensory experience to get a more complete answer. The actual experience of going into the Records will feel like you're awake in a dream, with a few other physical sensations in your body, including feeling an expansiveness like you're in a larger energetic body.

Alena - Sometimes it's easier to access someone else's Records because we don't have a vested interest in the answers. If we're reading for ourselves and we think we might be biased, it can help to go into 3rd person for questions (i.e. When you're asking a question for yourself, say "What is Alena's purpose for this life?"). Also stating the birth name and birth date of the person you're asking about right before you ask questions is helpful.

Hope that helps!

[Alena]

Hi Chris! thanks for your detailed post!

But if you've never accessed them before it might not be so easy.

I've never accessed it before. And I'm still practicing the Pathway Prayer process, but I'm still not getting any information. The only thing I notice is that I feel a little bit dizzy (not sure if that's the right word to describe it, but it's the closest one I have) after I say the prayer...

Thank you!!! This is exactly how I feel sometimes. A hard time choosing because of the wide range of abilities, wanting to focus but STILL uncertain as to the best way to maximize my services in a way that will keep my attention.
I can't say I've ever done an akashic record reading, though it's interested me.

[rei]

i also want to say thanks to Chris, your post was thorough and informative, and had a lovely energy to it.

i actually decided to explore this a bit last night, mainly i asked questions about my Akashic record to confirm understanding i've gotten in other ways - to see if that understanding is also reflected in my record. i also asked a couple things about someone else, but that someone else is the other half of my consciousness so i didn't need permission first. i did notice, however, there was a bit of a lag for some of the questions. my guess would be there was a lag because the issue i asked about was being looked up. i think, just now, i recalled a faint sound of pages turning while i was doing this.

(oh, for some reason i am wanting to share, i did this process while a movie was starting on television. meaning, setting up a specifically ritualized setting wasn't necessary. but i can imagine for some folks, setting up a ritualized type of environment will get the mind in the right frame to experience this sort of thing. just sharing that it wasn't required in my own case. this probably boils down to one's expectations.)

my abilities are more based on touch, empathic sensing and intuition, yet i noticed there was an amazingly beautiful scene showing up in my visual field. all sorts of purple and gold. i was really taken by the beauty, even as i also couldn't make out the specifics of what i was seeing through metaphysical vision as that's not my natural gift and i tend to compare it to the strength of a physical visual scene when it's not the same.

i would imagine this process is similar to much of what we do to experience the etheric, meaning, it may seem subtle compared to the physical experience. which is to say, Alena, what you said about having a "dizzy" feeling sounds to me like the process is working as it is supposed to, and you may be getting answers but they may not be in the form you expect or they may be subtle compared to the way we experience answers in the physical.

[ChrisL]

Alena - Perhaps we might want to chat in private about this. There could be various reasons for not going into the Records that we might want to talk about/explore. I'm not trying to be mysterious here as much as maintain your privacy if there's some conflict going on.

Missbhaven - You're welcome!

Rei - The Records are an etheric library so going into them will have a dream-like, etheric quality to it. If you have ever seen "The Golden Compass", when the girl looks at the compass and asks questions and sees symbols and images - it can be very similar to that, especially at the beginning. Then it can become more like watching a movie. Or the dreamlike experience of Robin Williams in "What Dreams May Come" is also a similar experience. You're right, the answers can be more subtle, but since the whole system is very "user-friendly", we can always ask to receive information in a way that we can understand, or for a deeper understanding.

Akashic records? Sounds nice. Maybe that's where we get information from, when we use a pendulum or get a premonition or some information pops in our brain after we pray for help. Supposing I have understood the subject.

hmm, i think ultimately some of the spiritual insight comes from the Akashic records, in the long run, but this thread is about connecting to the specific etheric location that contains one's Akashic records. it's not really about the ideas that flash to the surface for us, through other methods of gaining understanding.

the Akashic records are the record of your soul's entire string of incarnations, and they contain information about all the prior lifetimes as well as info about the soul lessons, focus, and significant events for the current lifetime. the records may also contain info about how many more lifetimes one needs to experience (based on the existing rate of spiritual progress/evolution) before reincarnation becomes optional, though i wouldn't say there is a guarantee a person could access that information. the records exist at a very high/pure metaphysical frequency.

[ChrisL]

Nimue - First of all, cool name. And you're right. Information like premonitions, hunches, etc can be us unconsciously accessing the Records. When we learn how to go into them consciously, then we can have even more 'flashes' like that too.

Rei - You know the funny thing about lifetimes is that we could get the total life experience on Earth in just one lifetime - enlightenment and all. All the lifetimes are actually happening simultaneously (like radio stations all playing at the same time on a different frequency), even though we like to experience them in a linear fashion (like watching a movie). We all have the possibility to wake up in any moment. And from what I've seen you're right, there is a moment of enlightenment after which if we decide to come back and incarnate it's not from a karmic perspective, but simply to enjoy the experience.

[Nimue]

Thanks, Chris!
And Rei, ok, I guess I understand better now. I'll check the internet to get the topic better, it's a little more complicated than I actually thought.

I'm sure I was a banker or something in my previous life, or at least a stiff, but social and calculating person of good education. I talked strange with difficult words when I was a little girl, before life's experiences started to change me...Then I opened an internal banking system that made me the richest person in the family, before I even become 8 yrs old XD

I should have really kept some characteristics of my past character XD

[rei]

Chris, i totally agree yes, they all happen at once sometimes i forget to describe it that way, not sure if it's because i'm not used to being able to speak with people who understand the oneness of things, or if it's because i have already gone through a oneness-heavy phase on my path, come out the other side, and for reasons of service i've sort of grounded my energy in a more linear way, pulling in to be here otherwise i'd be flying into multiple dimensions. whatever it is, thank you for sharing that as it is my understanding as well.

Chris, I've sent you a private message.
