Akashic Records - Questions and Support

[ChrisL]

Missbhaven - First of all, cute handle. Anywhere our thoughts, feelings, words and actions don't match each other would be conflict. Any type of unresolved trauma (i.e. abuse, neglect, PTSD from an accident, war, natural disaster, etc), limiting belief (i.e. money isn't spiritual), negative self image (ie. "I can't have what I want cause I'm not smart enough"), resistance to feeling an emotion (ie. "Anger is bad so I won't show it"), a need to be right about something (ie. "No one is as humble as me") - all of that is internal conflict. One easy way to detect if we are in conflict is if we are still being externally-validating. This is a larger discussion that I would love to delve into with you when I have more time. Feel free to ask more questions and I hope that helps for now!

Rei - Although some of our concepts are different, and the form of our work is different, it sounds like we are both trying to reflect people's wholeness back to themselves. Rock on.

Melchoir - Always a pleasure to dive with you, soul man.

Weena - It only takes 1 lifetime to get the total human experience. We love to keep coming back for various reasons, including getting off on the drama of everything. Some people purposefully leave things unfinished just to keep coming back. Our number of incarnations in the grand scheme of things is not that meaningful. And there's more.

[Melchior]

Thanks rei, that did help. I'm primarily a visual learner, did you know?

Chris, I liked what you said about the single lifetime for human experience thing, kinda makes me wonder why I'm here, just a little.

[Weena]

I'm going to throw the very controversial question here: what about lives we had on earth but not in this dimension? For instance, I do believe that Lemuria and Atlantis were very real, but as not much has been found in terms of relics, i sometimes think it could be there but not quite in this dimension...or protected by some different energy...or... two psychics have told me about my soul having lived there and sometimes i would really like to see those lives clearly. And i know it's possible because one of my favourite author who does lots of past life work had many people giving him precise details about Atlantis that correlated with the other people's descriptions.

[ChrisL]

Missbhaven - Sorry, I didn't have time to completely answer your question on the last email!

How do we find conflict and how do we resolve it? I gave a few indications about how to find conflict, but a really easy way to find if we have conflict is to watch ourselves. Mystics and mystery schools always talk about "know thyself". We are typically either in a state of contraction or expansion, reaction or response. If we can slow ourselves down to pay attention to ourselves (thoughts, emotions, words, actions, breath, senses, movement, posture, intuition beyond the body senses, wisdom beyond intellect), we can see when and how we contract/react, use that as a flag, and start being curious about what we truly need. The more we can be self-validating the less conflict we have and the more effortless life becomes. We used to do this easily as kids before we were taught to overide ourselves. I enjoy showing people how to easily acknowledge themselves again.

Many times if we have unresolved trauma, there is a movement of some kind that wanted to happen in our body but didn't (i.e. pushing, running away, fighting, etc). Our body is mainly concerned with survival (until a certain point in it's evolution). Our nervous system can get stuck in "fight or flight" mode where we primarily use our reptilian/primal brain - which is all about movement. It's very hard to think clearly in an emergency situation because we are not accesing the frontal lobe which enables us to think. Movement like involuntary shaking can be very important because it allows us to sequence out the excess charge from a traumatic incident to come back down into a resourced state, and be grounded and present again. There are many helpful ways to release the effects of trauma - emdr, biodynamic cranial-sacral, hypnotherapy, body psychotherapy, energetic healing on the etheric body - the list goes on.

And if you know how to respond, it's much easier to heal yourself in the moment. If something feels too overwhelming to our physical form, we will find a way to temporarily "check out" (i.e. ranging from finding ways to not feel something - addictions like food, sex, drugs, etc. - to passing out, to going into a coma) until we feel safe enough to return our consciousness back to our body.

Our soul knows it's eternal, unchanging state, so it is not overly concerned with survival like our body is. The soul is primarily concerned with meaning and significance, how to succeed, what is the big picture. When we don't get basic core beliefs instilled in us at an early age (i.e. "I'm safe and welcome", "I can be myself and be in relationship", "I can ask for what I want"), then we start forming success and survival strategies to help us compensate (i.e. "I'll be charming to get what I want", "I'll act tough so no one can hurt me"). Like unresolved trauma, this is a reaction not a response, and will keep us looping in repetitve cycles, tethered to our past, until we complete it.

If we really don't want to see something and place it in the "basement" (subconscious), then at some point our pain will be high enough for us to be aware of it. Most people cycle back and forth between pleasure and pain, until they choose to live more consciously in each moment. A response is a brand new, full body-soul expression in the present moment.

Anyone want to share your thoughts/experience?

[ChrisL]

Weena - We setup the number of incarnations before coming into them, like setting up the basic parameters of a program. Some people only wanted one (although that particular lifetime might have lasted hundreds of years), and some people want more than 700. When we become enlightened, if we still have a few lifetimes "scheduled" that we hadn't experienced yet, then we can come back for the pure enjoyment of it and to give back to others - but there's no requirement to come back.

According to the Records, Lemuria and Atlantis were real civilizations that existed - so at least with me it's not controversial! Lemuria was in the Pacific basin area and Atlantis had it's spiritual center in what is now the Mediterranean Sea. Relics would be difficult to find, because it was so long ago and because much of what existed at the time would be underwater now. There have been some discoveries in the Atlantic and off the Mediterranean coasts in shallower water that date back to that time. The Great Pyramid is an example of something that was built with Atlantean technology - using sound to move the etheric body of an object to move the physical form.

[rei]

Yes, Chris, with your last response to Missbhaven I would agree it seems we do very similar things - rock on, indeed

[ChrisL]

Melchoir - I've thought of some analogies that you might relate to. Hope it helps.



Body - (Dynamic consciousness and energy) A computer. Some are older and bigger, some are newer and smaller, but they all have the capacity to receive data in a non-biased way (based on the user).

Body senses - Any input devices (i.e. keyboard, mouse).

Chi/kundalini - Electrical current

Soul - (Static consciousness and energy) Us as the witnessing user of the computer.

Etheric bodies - Memory, storage devices in or used on our computer (i.e hard drive, memory sticks, etc)

The Akashic Records - The Internet

Lifetimes - A movie on a DVD. We can watch a movie in linear fashion, frame by frame, from beginning to end. Or we can access select moments either in the past or future.

Conflict - A computer virus that initially affects the memory (etheric bodies) but if held long enough can harm our computer (physical body). It changes our overall performance including our ability to use our input devices (body senses) to receive neutral information, and shortens the lifespan of the computer.

Reaction - Not paying attention to repeated virus warnings, despite the fact that our computer is now shooting out fireworks in a desperate plea for help and operating at the speed of dark. Continuing to do the same things over and over, like repeatedly throwing our computer out the window because it seemingly refuses to do what we want.

Response - Using a self-diagnostic to discover what the computer/user needs right now then acting on it. Using all the input devices (body senses) interactively, which creates a synchronicity and not an emnity between computer (body) and user (soul), allowing the user to remain in witnessing mode (allowing ourselves to live in stream of consciousness mode), creating more harmony between the computer and user to discover what to do in the next moment. Living from the inside out essentially.

Enlightenment - Having access to all the dvd's of all our lives. Experiencing (not just intellectually knowing) that our individual computer is not seperate, but a part of the whole internet. Experiencing the entire internet on our computer.

[Melchior]

Hahaha, thanks Chris, did you know I was going to try and diagram stuff this weekend?

[ChrisL]

I had a hunch which is why I wanted to get this to you today.

Have fun diagraming if you still are going to!

Have you come across the book "From Atlantis to the Sphinx"? That book supports what you just said about Atlanteans having built in Egypt, and yes, using sound to activate tools as well .

It's interesting the paragraph where you answered missbehaven. I think it's important to solve a problem once we're aware of it. Also it seems that when people find the right life that explain a sickness or phobia, the symptoms disappear by themselves (as explained in the book of R. Woolger and P. Drouot).

Oh and thanks for explaining this number of incarnations thing. Because i was told my soul lived as a spirit in Lemuria then had proper incarnations in Atlantis. From my SR reading i learned i had had 7 lives in Atlantis. So i was trying to match that with my number of lives (past life lady told me 39 if i remember well) ...just thinking "wait, if i were here in the era of Leo... then how very little have i come back till the era of Aquarius??". I must hibernate in between .

[ChrisL]

I haven't read the book but will check it out. Thanks Weena!

Yes, I agree with you. It's amazing when we start bringing awareness to something how it changes. Then instead of trying to get rid of our symptoms, we shift the root cause and symptoms dissolve.

Hibernating soul - would that make you the sign of the Bear? Sometimes we're not in physical form but helping others out from spirit! You could be coaching, inspiring others from the other side. There can be time periods/countries that we don't have an experience of, just like we can have multiple lives in one time period/country to gain more experience of it. Lifetimes can overlap. I've heard of one woman who has 17 lifetimes going on right now. whew! The downside would be that you might feel somewhat scattered, the upside is that you would collect a lot of information about this time period.

Typically if you're attracted to a time period/area (or repelled by it), then you have a life happening there. For you personally I'd say Egypt and England would be interesting places. And I'd be suprised if you only had 39 lives, but it's possible.

I actually checked American Indian astrology just then descriptions are very similar to western astrology. Apparently I'm a beaver... For the activities in between lives, my SR reading said i help other souls cross over (Third Order). That makes sense, i know i am annoyed when people talk about ghosts and don't pray for the ghosts to go back into the light. I once went to a ghost tour but before prayed archangel Michael to help those spirits go back to their rightful plane...i did not feel any ghosts when i went + a white owl flew above me when i got there (to me it symbolised the angel ).

It's interesting you mention several lives at once. I would feel scattered i think. But it's something i heard several times, with time being an illusion (illusion but to me, a useful tool).

Now you positively surprised me with the mention of Egypt and England. England i knew from a past lives reading, and from the only time i saw an image. Egypt, i get the feeling one of my guides lived in Egypt with me... and i get the feeling maybe i have been there around the time of the 18th dynasty...and maybe something to do with Deir-El-Medinah. These are just intuitions though, haven't found out clear info.
I've also been into ancient Celts, i feel emotional in a good way about Celtic culture.

Can't wait for the day the doors will open for me...revisit all that and learn from it, or at least remember what i'm meant to have brought back.

where did you learn how to perform soul retrieval?

Ah, well, the etheric realm picked me for this type of work, and my core self agreed to it before I came here... which meant I went through some very crazy times before I understood what was going on (psychiatric diagnosis and such). I read about the process from Sandra Ingerman and various online resources and filled in any holes by talking with my spirit guides. I did not get any material-level training aside from reading material because I was already hooked up with my guide team when I realized why I'd been through some crazy experiences (strangely enough as soon as I accepted it as a path my essence chose, all the signs of craziness were gone - and that might also be because the process of "dismemberment" had been completed at that point ).

There is something called core shamanism that folks can check out if they are interested and don't feel confident that Spirit has already been telling them they are meant to do this work. It is probably the largest source of training on the material level at this time. You can learn more about this particular flavor of practice here Shamanism:: Foundation for Shamanic Studies founded by Michael Harner

Training is important, as I said before... and that is not meant to dissuade anyone from this path. It can be intense, though. So probably safest to explore with definite trusted support whether that is material or etheric.

@ChrisL: Sorry for getting things side-tracked Might be appropriate for me to say here that I am happy to answer questions about this work through private messages or on a new thread so Chris can keep his thread on topic (supertom, no offense intended, hope you know that )

Random diagram at three in the morning.

This one doesn't go too much into the soul or anything, just the medium of information storage called Akasha.

Ask for clarifications? Or if you can't read something... >.<

[Tanja]

I don't have anything to contribute to this topic, just wanted to say that it's been interesting to read this thread

And I see Melchior has unleashed his artistic streak with his diagram

...I think I should be worried that this makes even less sense to me now than it did last night, even though I know you explained it. Hmm. What are the chances that I can convince you to refresh my memory? :3 I promise I'll even try very hard to stay on topic, or at least on a related one.

Also. Quick question on the access of the records themselves, posited to anyone who can answer. I went with the suggested "question in mind" as entering a state of sleep, and though I do not remember gaining any information (or even the exact question) there's an ease about the entire thing that makes me feel like I closed it as a query. Is it possible for me to have gained the answer, and in so doing determined both question and answer irrelevant and hidden them from my waking self for some reason? -.- It is a bit puzzling to me, as I have never done anything quite like this before. I prefer the frustration mixed with amusement I get from a guide or Fae consultation, rather than anything else. (I'm a sucker for punishment, what can I say?)

Top Left is the entire universe, top right is a section of this universe, the Earth, the middle is someone who lives on Earth, and the bottom is a depiction of how the body/mind/soul make up the person. Going from the universe to the person, the etheric medium moves from more static (larger wavelength) to more dynamic (smaller wavelength) (alternatively, this would also mean larger in scope vs. smaller in scope). You might also like to think of it in terms of larger scale structures that emerge from smaller scale ones.

Looking at the top left section, it shows that the universe is connected in this large patchwork of etheric medium in spite of the smaller patches of physical substance, leading to information travelling from every which way to every other place. The top right section of the earth shows that there is this etheric medium (akasha) that spans fairly densely around it and information going to and from it as well. So that's just two levels of scale. Some speculation: either it is doubtful that the earth actually has a soul of the same 'magnitude' as ours, but is merely composed of a physical body and accompanying etheric body due to the scale it is on and general isolation from other planets; or the soul of the earth is even more static than ours, with lifetimes lasting the age of stars. In spite of this, the information that is stored in the etheric medium does 'communicate' whether heard or not (much like how at any given moment, there are a multitude of em waves passing around us, but we can't hear them unless we have a radio (or other techy equipment) handy), by other parts of the universe (as well as the smaller scale etheric systems present on it, people included, although these systems may not pick up on what is being expressed).

At the person's point of view, he/she is composed of a physical body coupled with it's etheric medium, something called the soul, also with it's etheric medium, and the intersect of these two, also the linking factor, is the mind. This composite thing called a person exchanges information through the etheric channels (well, more like the earth's etheric body 'senses' the information from the person's etheric body (after all, it's been around longer than we were). The person, may get some information back from the earth, however this is not always the case due to inability to intake the information floating around in a sensible form). The lighter black lines and green lines in the air are just the air itself.

A bit more about the bottom section diagramming the soul, body, and mind, the inclusion of black color (physical indicator) is on purpose as I think that the soul, body, and mind all have their basis in something 'physical', albeit perhaps a more expansive definition than the connotations may at first suggest. That being the case, to explain a bit of what I think about the etheric, if you note the notes next to the hapazard legend, the physical is a medium for the etheric which is in turn a medium for the information (which may be in turn a medium for the physical ). The etheric being more like a certain property of the physical than something separate altogether. The use of both smaller etheric lines and larger etheric lines on the body just signify the complexity of the body with smaller and larger subsystems and systems of the body. With regards to the soul, information and etheric medium are a bit larger in scale. (btw, the recurrence of 'souls' in people (i.e. reincarnation) with respect to this diagram anyway, may be due to movement of the soul's etheric body to the earth's in order to sustain itself, moving into the development of a new 'physical' soul some time later (and/or the information that is stored along with it does something too), but that's just speculation).

Also, the 'patches' of information are just for example of something that could be information or a record, and it isn't drawn to scale. The arrows moving from the patches show the flow of information.

One more thing, this was more of a braindump of thoughts that I think related to the diagram and although I may have missed some things, I think I at least covered the important parts, if perhaps a bit sloppily. If you'd like some further refinement (or if you think I got a concept wrong/drew something wrong ) just ask for/point out specifics.

[ChrisL]

Missbehaven - How do you know when you're in conflict? What do you do to resolve it?

Same question for everyone!

Melchoir - You were going to town on that drawing, huh? Sort of Van Gogh channeling Swedenborg! Looks very inspired, although I was getting hungry for eggs looking at the soul.

I love that you're trying to integrate this in your own way! How would your diagram look if the physical form was the smallest body, then it was overlapped by a larger etheric body (that looks like an oval of energy), overlapped by the astral, causal, mental, celestial, and christ bodies? And what if each Soul has a direct link to one gridpoint (out of 144,000) in the Akashic Records? Looking forward to the next drawing!

Tanja - Just saying you're enjoying the thread is a contribution. Thanks for dropping by.

Sarinae - You've touched on something that I've always thought was really cool. On one hand, we could ask a question and get an answer, and if we realy don't like it, we can block it - not remember it, change the answer, etc. We do this in waking life all the time. On the other hand, when we truly release conflict (including in our non-wakeful states - dream state, pre-conscious state, etc), many times we might not even remember what the conflict was. ha! I know, it sounds strange, but it's a phenomenon that I've seen over the last 20 years. What do you feel happened?

[ChrisL]

What are some important life questions that you would ask in the Records and why?
What are some of the potential pitfalls or ways we can get distracted in the Records?

Haha, thanks, even though I'm pretty sure it's just a bunch of squiggles... As for the other thing, I'm not sure, will have to think about it first.

- Have i got a contract with certain other souls to learn something (and i reckon it's a yes) and is there any way to speed up that process when i feel those souls are extremely annoying in my earthly life?

- I would ask to see lifetimes I've had with my husband, first of all, as i know we've had many together, and also my children ...and to some extend then i might as well check out all my karma link with my family members.

- Do I have any karmic debts?

- Why did i choose to come back here and now? Why this time specifically?

A few questions that sprung to mind. I know the Akashic records are more about energy center of training etc...but it's also about past lives so i'd delve into it a bit more.

Oh and the pitfall could be that i don't want to come back from the records, or get disappointed, or discouraged, or get addicted to it but the weird part is that I'm meant to learn how to do it for myself and others. The timing isn't right though (to study) as i have a baby girl due to be born next month.
Talking about learning it, Chris, you give courses don't you? If you prefer you could PM me about it? All the way knowing i wouldn't take up the course ultra soon, but a bit later on...

[rei]

Chris, this is not a response to your latest questions but I hope the general offer of support is still there (I am guessing it is ).

Last night I was visiting my records and the way things shifted after I asked a certain question, it was like I was going through a portal or an energetic equivalent of the old "web rings" on the internet, or like I had unlocked a secret area of access or something. It was like rather than remain relatively stationary with the records, I was moving (fairly quickly) and, I don't know how to explain it but I got the impression it was some kind of portal. Are you familiar with this? Could you explain what I might have experienced there?

The question related to purpose... whether a certain focus is 100% aligned with it, and it may have happened when I asked about collective level Ascension. I wondered if I was zooming through the records of all the lives I'm meant to touch? Or if the way I asked the question meant I was suddenly absorbing information from sections of the library that pertain to that purpose.

Anyway, I am not alarmed or anything, but it was experientially different from previous time in the records and I was hoping you might know what this was or might have been?

[ChrisL]

Melchoir - Looking forward to the next installment of "Spiritual Squiggles R Us".

Weena - We speed up the process with our response. If people annoy you, look to see what you're expecting from them but not receiving - then give it to yourself. Embody it.

What most people don't understand is that we incarnate for moments. Let me explain. We don't necessarily incarnate to spend 50 years of married life with a particular person. We can place meeting certain people into our lives as an immutable event for whatever reason (i.e. to release a curse, to get married, to have sex, to have children, etc). So when we actually meet them, we might have only needed to express gratitude, to thank them in some way (ie. because they saved our life in another lifetime, helped us out financially, etc) - then anything else after that would be 'gravy', extra.

You mentioned some great pitfalls/distractions! Let me mention a few more. Some people want to go into the Records to find out if they were famous (or infamous). If you do actually find out that you were a celebrity of sorts, and you have a judgement/comparison on your current life, you can make this life seem more meaningless (ie. beat yourself up more, want to only experience the 'important' past life). Discovering resources from other lives that you can use now can be very helpful (ie. artistic, writing, engineering, musical abilities), but looking for 'super' powers (like levitating) can be horribly distracting. Can anyone think of others?

Yes I do offer group and individual trainings.

Rei - Not exactly sure what that experience was about. Did you see a flash of light, a golden ring, and someone whispering "my Preciousss"? Just kidding. Your intention drives the process. The more open you want to be about yourself, the more you want to live life like an 'open book', the more will be revealed to you in the Records. There aren't any secrets unless we want there to be. And if you love 'signs' in your life as an affirmation about how you're progressing, then you might create that in your Records experience too.

In your case, try slowing down the whole process and ask to receive the information in a way you can integrate. Fast/slow isn't a good/bad thing - integrating a greater understanding is what we're going for. If you're unsure about something, ask for clarity/deeper understanding when it's happening, just as slowly as you would ask your best friend. Just like with life, the most amazingly, transformational experiences can come to you like a whisper - gentle, unassuming, profound in it's simplicity.

Keep playing and let us know how it's going.

[Weena]

Chris thank you for the advice, I might embody total silence (is the one thing i need from a person who's energy is incredibly heavy and can just "stick" to me even days after he's left, feels quite "yukky").

Hah! I like "the gravy".

That is so funny about people wanting to know if they were famous or had superpowers! Could it be that they feel insecure, and would it help them feeling more secure? (Just a thought).

An other pitfall, to me only, would be if people want to "read" too much and find out about their upcoming lives, i kind of like the mystery surrounding a whole future lifetime (i don't mind having prediction about my near future in this one but i reckon knowing all about an entire future one could ruin the fun). And maybe if the person is not quite ready for it, to misuse the record in order to manipulate (though i guess you'd be authorised up there only if you are going to use it right...?).

How do you train your students? Can you train them at a distance? (Just thinking you're in the US and I'm in Australia). I only saw the Soul Realignment training over the internet and looks very long and complicated. Do you teach more about accessing the records? Do you encourage your students to work on themselves through meditation and such? I'm very curious so if you would like to share more about it here...if you feel comfortable doing so? The last thing i learned was reiki usui and i loved the course and the teacher was awesome. I would like to keep learning alternative forms of therapies and i get a good feel about you so I'd love to hear about your course. Whether here in this thread, or PM, or Facebook... or I'll hunt it up more on your website if you have an article dedicated to it?

[rei]

Thank you, Chris. I guess my existing approach is to trust the experience and deconstruct it later... it's like I download these things and can still get the answers even if I am not officially doing something to get access. It's weird, though, as from what I have seen it usually doesn't work this way. But apparently it's also "normal" to need the person's name, birthday, etc. as opposed to simply having permission... so even in the realm of fringe I'm fringe I guess

I just asked a bit more about that experience and got more clarity. I am not sure I would have been able to get from this what I needed to get if I was asking in the moment... or it would have taken much longer that way... and I was hoping to finish before I fell asleep. I'm really enjoying this thread of yours Learning a lot, thank you. And I will definitely apply your suggestion about slowing it down next time I visit

[ChrisL]

Rei - You're as fringy as you want to be. The more clarity and focus you have the better. Going into the Records themselves can feel like a huge distraction, like you're visiting Heaven and you just want to hang out and linger. In general, especially when we're first starting out, it can be helpful to treat accessing the Records like rock climbing - don't get distracted, stay focused on one thing at a time till it's done, move through layers of information like you're moving towards the summit.

It can be very helpful to have a birthname and birthdate to get the correct "website" address - because you can be accessing information about the body and the soul. And especially when you're first starting, if you're asking questions about yourself or others, ask about something in the near future so that you can get a confirmation and begin to feel more comfortable with the experience.

When we're asking about historical information, it helps to have the name(s) and birthdates of people who were participating in a certain event, so that you can experience their version of the event. Have fun.

Weena - Sometimes it's inspirational to discover something like this - you realize that you're capable of so much more because you have had a life where you have already done something of value. (Like Harry Potter realizing he can do the Patronus charm now because he had already witnessed himself doing it. That was for the fantasy buffs out there.) It catalyzes you to maximize your life even more now. That's a response - and the focus of learning about other lives should always be to maximize life more now in some way (i.e. be in service more, create more, etc). Other times people can have a variety of reactions that are not so empowering, including trying to escape the circumstances of their present life (i.e. bankruptcy, bad relationship, low self-esteem, etc).

But you don't have to have a past life experience to understand the feeling of this. Imagine that you live in the late 1500's and aspire to be an engineer/designer. You look at the drawings of da Vinci, who has already died by then, and marvel at them. On one hand, it could spur you on to more inventions. On the other hand, you could feel really depressed, because you don't access the Records (like da Vinci did) and go into the future to see the possible inventions over the next 500 years. So how could you possibly match such genius? What's the point of being an engineer when this guy has already done so much? You might even want to make fun of, or invalidate da Vinci so you feel better about yourself and your inventions. This happens with other people, especially mystics and instantaneous healers (i.e. Joan of Arc, Jesus, Nostradamus, etc) throughout history all the time. The thinking can be "if I can't do it then no one can", instead of "if someone can do this then I can too!" That's why discovering where we react from conflict and how to respond is so important - it transforms so much.

Actually, finding out about our next life can be very helpful in preparing us! First of all, lifetimes are not lived in a linear sequence. I mean, our last lifetime could have been in a future timeframe, and our next lifetime could be in what we consider as our past. Our soul moves all around in different timeframes, just like a movie is actually splices of sequences filmed at different times, then placed together to make it seem like a linear sequence.

I'll give you an example. One man I know has his next lifetime back in the Renaissance time period. It's where he's going next. In this life for his career, he creates adventure quests for kids. He's literally preparing for his role in his next life, which will give him more courage as a leader. If someone had dissuaded him in this life (i.e. you're nuts for doing this, how's it going to help anyone, you're living in your own fantasy world, etc), then he would be less prepared for his next adventure. As it is, he will have more resolve to make difficult decisions early on, based on his experiences now.

I'll share more about trainings when I have more time.

Wow, thanks Chris.

I'm so green

When I kept seeing Akashic Records in your signature I just automatically 'assumed' (bad word) that you were associated with a form of relaxation/meditation record label

OK great—now I have some reading to do...

Weena - I don't want to talk about trainings too much on this thread, because I want the focus to be on understanding the Akasha, Akashic information, the nature of reality, and support for others.

Just briefly - I typically train students in person, either individually or in a group, that way I can make adjustments in the moment. I can also do long distance training via telephone or Skype. I'm working on some workbook material that can be printed or accessed online, but I need to finish another book first.

In my programs I encourage students to discover and release their conflict first, in a variety of ways, then it's easier and more effective to use the chi building and meditation techniques to access the Records. The clearer we are, the easier it is to access and interpret the information given to us. When I'm visiting places, I'll typically offer a weekend or 4 day workshop, because I have a limited time there. I'm creating a 6-9 month program now.

If all goes well, I'll be having an Akashic Records article come out in the New Zealand publication "Rainbow News" this summer. Then I'd love to come visit New Zealand/Australia for a training!

That's alright that you want to thread to stay on the Akasha, but thanks for the precisions and if your project of coming to Australia materialises I'll be one of your students (the time for you to do so the new bubs will be old enough to not need me for a full day ). Otherwise the Skype thing is good too, i sure do use that to communicate with my relatives overseas.


Fascinating about that man going to the renaissance for his next life...and here i was picturing a time progression that only goes forwards. So do/did we choose ourselves about our next lives?

And other question: to access the Akashic Records, do you need to be in a very meditative mood etc, or can it be random? This time is full of big changes for me and i find it very hard to reach a peaceful state of mind. I know it'll come back but for the moment external factors are just too strong.

And what shall one expect when getting to the records for the first time? what does it look like? Does it depends on you and the best way you will understand them or do they look the same to everyone?
