Akashic Records - Questions and Support

[ChrisL]

Hey everyone,

I thought I would start this thread for anyone who has questions about the Akashic Records, wants to discuss what they have discovered in the Records, or wants support around accessing them. Let's have some fun!

[Moxie]

I would *love* to access mine and those of either those I love, or those who have passed on. Chris, how does one do this? Is it even possible in the flesh form?

For me, the best part about dying some day will be going to the great library in the sky. I imagine the library that holds the akashic records all the time. I imagine spending eternity knowing - knowing and loving. Sounds pretty sweet to me.

What do you think about accessing them while here? Possible?

[rei]

hey Chris...

is it common to experience a kind of tiring effect from accessing the records? i don't mean at first... at first it's quite the opposite. but it's almost like, the intensely pure vibes spoil me and then when i disconnect and return here i end up needing time to recover or recalibrate.

is that a common thing, and do you have any techniques you would suggest for making the process of returning to this level smoother in times where the person is spending a good bit of time in the records?

how would you suggest a person make the information into a more manageable form for understanding it? i would prefer intuition and feeling-based methods as i'm not a visual sensitive. i am asking because there is initially a ton of info and i am still trying to figure out how to break it down into bits i will be able to process more easily. i am not even sure i'm explaining what i mean very well...

[Weena]

The topic of the Akashic records just fascinates me. I'm very aware of what they are, they have been mentioned in so many books i've read. However i have never accessed them. I have no idea at all how to and if i am meant to. I guess i could as someone else did it for me, so they are not 'closed' per say, i just don't know how to go about it. Pity considering the 'age' of my soul you'd think i would just have to snap my fingers and i'd be able to . I assume there's a good reason, just like i've never had an OBE, there must be a reason. I still got precise info from my soul realignment reading, lovely Rose went to that sacred place for me...

Why haven't they upgraded to Akashic SD cards?

Now that's a GREAT business idea Wax Frog, I'd buy one from ya!

[elucidate]

I'm the same as you here Weena. I've known about them for a while, but not really known how to access them. Is it just a matter of meditating and asking to have access to them? Do I call on guides for this? What is the benefit of going there anyway? I mean, I know it holds all that is and ever has been recorded about us and the world...can it be used to retrieve historical truths that may have been falsified to fool the masses, or is it purely for discovering stuff about yourself and other people?
Like, can I go there and ask to know what Joan of Arc really saw in her visions or something like that?

Rei - You're welcome!

Elucidate - It can be as simple as doing whatever it takes to go into the pre-conscious state (i.e. prayers, meditating, visualizing, etc) and asking questions. Calling on your guides, and the Akashic Record master, right at the beginning of the process, can be very helpful. Yes, you're right, you can retrieve historical facts that are sometimes different than what we are taught, and look into others Records. Yes, you could go into the Records to experience what Joan of Arc experienced when she was in the Records. It's like an accelerated learning program - instead of having to live a life just like someone else, you can access their records and gain wisdom and understanding. The exception to this is going into an enlightened person's records - unless you're enlightened, it's hands off.

sometimes coming back from other worlds is like being on vacation and then having to go back to work a 17 hour job 6 days a week. i dont think there is a fix for that unless you are clark kent.

[Laurenaus]

i would be first in line for the pop up version actually

[jellybeanpimp]

I see the akashic records like how we monitor the Earth's movement or someone's heart with an EKG. It's like does every beat get recorded? Yes, but the only one's you pay attention to are the one's that are either really wrong or really right.

These records are in a different dimension, so our rules of time and space don't apply. I whole-heartedly believe that they are a record of literally everything that ever happened, and it's probably the same mechanism that allows souls to have life reviews once they go to whatever dimension they go to after this physical life.

It's complex and I'm sure there is some explanation that someone in that dimension could understand. Right now, me fully wrapping my head around it would be like someone 200 years ago understanding the internet. I can vaguely understand it, but it's impossible to fully comprehend it all.

[ChrisL]

Moxie - Yes it's possible! The doorway to the Records exists at the pre-conscious level, that stage of consciousness right when we are going to sleep or waking up. A beginner's way to try to access the Records is to hold a question in our mind before going to sleep and intend to have the answer. Keep a notepad or digital recorder next to your bed in case you get the answer!

There are a variety of techniques that can help access the Records more consciously - breathing techniques to increase our energy, hypnotherapy techniques, prayer, meditation and visualization - and once you're able to access them, then all you need to do is remember the feeling of what it was like to be in them. It gets easier with practice!

Rei - It's not common to be tired afterwards. This can come from over-extending yourself energetically or from conflict (yours or theirs). Find your balance and know your energy limits. Try spending less time in the Records but come back for more sessions and see what happens. Especially when I'm doing back to back readings, I find a certain rhythm (like dancing), which helps me work all day. If a client has a lot of conflict, it can be energetically and physically exhausting, then I'll do some chi building exercises (ie. tai chi, chi gong) or rest. Also, try doing more chi building exercises before going in.

For an easier transition - almost touch the fingertips of your left hand with your right hand with palms facing your body, and in a fluid sweeping motion, move them from the base chakra upward over the front of your body over your face. When you get to the top of your head, make an outward sweeping gesture and place the hands in front of the base chakra again. Do this several times. Inhale when you're sweeping up, exhale when you sweep outward and down.

The Records are very user-friendly. Ask to receive the information in a way that you can understand - touch, feeling, hearing, seeing, etc - and at a speed that works for you. Hope that helps!

Weena - Your intention drives the process, especially if you have no conflict about accessing them. We are all capable of accessing them (just like everyone can play a musical instrument). Staying in a very relaxed and yet aware state is the key. Once you're able to access them then you're always able to access them. Yay!

How could one be in conflict? How would you go about finding if you are in conflict and how to resolve it?

Hi Kishka,

allow me to lazily quote Chris on this one. This one of the exercises you can do. I love this topic so much i couldn't resist contacting Chris for one-on-one Akashic Record coaching, so he gives me different types of exercises and "scripts" to access the records. I'm not far yet as i try to combine it with a very new baby but it is so interesting and i try my best to get there. I don't "take off" as easily as some other people yet i get quite visual when he takes me through a script (visualisations etc...).

[Kishka]

Thanks Weena! (and Chris!)

[ChrisL]

Weena - It's pefectly okay to do whatever you want, including chatting with your guides. Just be aware of your intention. Are you doing it to feel supported and have a deeper understanding of something, is it helping you go deeper in the process, or are you just getting distracted? Try having a chat with the guides after you access the Records and see what happens. Keep playing!

[Weena]

She was trying to keep me focused on the process actually. It's going to sound incredibly airy-fairy but i was in the car, my husband was doing a runner to the hardware store and i thought it could take a little while if the shop was busy, as both children were deeply asleep at the back i gave it a try (i just take any occasion where there's a little bit of peace). when i got to the door of the library, where the guides stands, little lady L started having a grizzle so my guide to keep me in the meditative state told me to visualise a link from my heart chakra to my daughter's heart chakra (i know, airy-fairy sounding stuff ) but just to stay in the process i did that and baby stopped crying and went back to sleep straight away. Whatever works i guess. I just stopped when i heard the boot of the car opening . Anyway, there are other times where i can try (at night etc) and i get lots of dreams related to the topic. Will keep trying, surely i can do this ... maybe i'll work on the trust and allow part more too (you said we all can do this so i'll go with that)(and not think "but am i really allowed to inquire?").

Is anyone able to share the Pathway Prayer in this forum?

[alphamind]

Hi Chris.
Sometimes when I drift off from sleep to wakefulness, or should I say half asleep and being somewhat aware of it I see images pop up, mainly faces of people I'm not aware of. It feels as if they are coming from an other reality, not being just random thoughts but they come in the form of thoughts. I admit most of these image startle me...any reason I see these faces (sometimes inhuman) and if they mean anything or does everyone who has a somewhat developed third eye have these visions at night?
(noob question I know )

[infinitytruth]

I connected with the records a couple of days ago again. I think that's my 3rd definite success. You know when you connect because it's beyond any preconceptions you have or anything you can think up. Sometimes it shocks the hell out of you. Everytime I've connected it shocks the hell out of me, actually. Never what I'm expecting. Or rarely.

I thought you were joking with me on some of those lives to be 100% honest.

The one I noticed especially was the pirate life. I also connected with the samurai life(Somewhat...I seen the character), and I seen someone dying in another life in like a battle. Like a sword was lunged through them and I seen them make this O shaped face with their mouth as that happened. That was a little disturbing.

I also think I shared a past life with my dad too(First time I ever thought that). That's the first thing I saw while I was about to go to sleep in my hypnogogic imagery. So I figured I would try and connect with the records after that. He looked slightly different, but still the very much the same.

The pirate life was what really shocked me. That's where I'm sure I connected with the records.

At first I thought the pirate was a middle eastern guy(Not what I was expecting at all). He wore like a head scarf bandana (Without the long scarf part in the back...which made me think it was a turbine) that I thought was a turbine at first. I also sensed he had a scimitar on him, but I didn't actually see the scimitar, I just felt like he had one somewhere. I thought a scimitar was strictly a middle eastern weapon and I looked it up online and found out it was also a pirate weapon as well.

I couldn't get a storyline from any of those lives though. I think the O shaped face was the beginning of one. I kind of blocked that part out though, as it was kind of disturbing and at the time, I didn't think it was anything important.

Oh well, something to be blown away by the next time I connect.

How do you get the storyline? Do you just let it happen? And how do allow yourself to just let it happen?

[ChrisL]

InfinityTruth - I'm not usually joking about lifetimes, but if I am joking you'll know it because I'll share in the laughter with you. I knew you didn't believe a few things I was saying and that's alright.

Just ask the questions and allow the answers to come through. If you try to force the answer you will either get out of the Records or at the very least have an inaccurate answer. Having an attitude of reverence and gratitude is always what I'm recommending for my students - being openly curious with no attachment to the answer, as if you're reading for someone else.

For you personally, ask a question, then when you begin to get the answer, let the expand to become multi-sensory and see if you get a more complete answer or at least a longer episode. Most people will start off with snippets of information, then get longer episodes.

Let us know how it goes!

Tried it out again, today. Twice actually. I'm starting to realize I have A LOT of thoughts that like to interfere with this process(I am getting some brief moments where I can really tell that I'm connected though). I guess I have to let go of the need to be right, but damnit I like being right!

Taking from the things that were crystal clear, I seen this windmill in session 1(That was definitely not something I was trying to think up). I'm guessing it was from holland.

Session 2.

I seen the samurai life again, they were marching this time, and then it cut to what I'm pretty sure was of me losing my head to a sword. Might have been someone else, but I think it was me.

At least I got somewhat of a storyline though.

Then I tried tapping into the native american life I had in the 1700s and I projected right into the canoe. Like from first person perspective(First time that's ever happened). I was having a conversation with the person in the canoe with me. I didn't really catch what they were saying though. Seemed like a friendly conversation.

I also seen what I looked like in that lifetime.

I couldn't get a storyline for that life though.

[ChrisL]

Infinity - Hey! Sounds like you're making some progress! Keep letting us know how it goes.

This is so vastly important I'm going to move directly into this. It isn't being right that you love so much, it is how you let yourself feel when you're right. So try this. Embody whatever feeling you want to give yourself when you're right (i.e. empowered, loved, respected, whatever it is), then choose to simply be present over any other agenda.

If you have a need to be right, it will be impossible to get accurate information in the Records, or even to stay in the Records for a sustainable period of time. Come at this with the perspective of an inquisitive child - "Wow! What can I discover today?!" - not the perspective of an adult with an agenda - "I only want to know the "good" stuff".

Another thing that helps with the process is to simply speak out loud with your stream of consciousness. Whatever you're experiencing, just say it without editing, because that will keep the process rolling and help you dive deeper. Don't second guess, don't edit yourself.

It has been harder for me to focus/connect lately with the records. I'll keep with it though.

Also for that session 2 session I had a while ago I didn't mention that I seen like this female walking through tall grass and there was this big snake (I'm guessing it was an anaconda) that wrapped around her leg. It came to me as a really random thought.

I seen it in shadow form. There was no color at all. I didn't see if she was eaten or died, I just seen it wrap around her leg.

I know snakes are a common fear, but that would explain why I dislike snakes. If I got killed by one or something. I've only seen baby snakes in recent years, and just the way they move...oy.

The good news is that when I have seen baby snakes I don't run in terror 'anymore'. Even the baby ones...the way they move really gives me the willies. Maybe it's because I'm older now though. I used to see them all the time (There aren't even any poisonus where I live).

I seen like 12 differen't baby snakes one right after another when I was out in this field. I didn't run, but I was uncomfortable to the extreme.

I've seen some somewhat disturbing stuff in the records, but I often block it out. I suppose I should go into it and see what it's about. Maybe I'll learn something cool!

EDIT: I think I've shared past lives with both of my parents now. I didn't connect with the records today(I may have somewhat 'unconsciously'...which is why I'm posting), but I kind of think my mom's energy is familiar now too. With my dad I think we shared a past life in that 1700s native american life.

That's what I first seen (In my hypnogogic imagery) that day I connected with the pirate life. I was picking up a priestlike energy (At the time I thought he looked like a mayan). The next day I asked about him and I went to the 1700s life, and I think he was a shaman in that life or something like that.

He really liked reading and watching a lot of westerns in this life.

With my mom, I remember she was the nice old lady at this brick looking rundown house in eastern europe. I've went to this house before in the records, and I knew there was a lady there that I was going to visit. I think I was a kid when I went there. I didn't realize until now though that she was that lady that I would visit.

She wore like a piece of cloth that way old ladies sometimes wrap it (I have no idea what the style is called...I seen it in this life and it looked SO familiar though...old ladies and eastern europe...that head scarf look...lol).

Omg she was so nice in that life. I have like a new respect for her.

I have never thought that I would've shared past lives with my parents. It's kind of a smart move though. See if they were nice enough to be my parents for a future life (Which they were...I think I looked up to them in both of those lives, or I had a lot of respect for them)

[Tanvir Arefin Halim]

Do you believe in subjective reality as Steve Pavlina explains it and if so, how does the Akashic Records fit in?

[Hyperchiller]

It's past 2 am here and I've just gone through the whole thread reading mostly your responses Chris.

I'm impressed at your knowledge, understanding and mastery of this!! Well done!!

You mentioned this formula a while ago:
"Thought (Vision) + Emotion (Energy) * Conflict = Attraction."

And that if we don't have any conflict we basically attract what we envision/emote.

So when you talk about conflict - you're basically talking about karma right? Can you talk more about the response/react mechanism? If we are present and conscious and appreciate the challenges/lessons/our experiences is that responding? If we accept, forgive ... is that resolving karma appropriately? If we resolve karma do we know instinctively and feel a sense of completion? How do we resolve karma in the fastest way possible?

Thanks for all the help you've been putting out in this thread!

[ChrisL]

Hyperchiller - When I'm talking about conflict, which includes karma, I'm talking about anywhere where our thought, feelings, words, and actions aren't in alignment. Take a look at the Akashic Records and Authentic Response sessions thread in this category (Psychic), and I've explained more there. A response does include being present, conscious and meeting our challenges.

Resolving karma is going to look different with each scenario. Yes, sometimes simply accepting and forgiving will complete an issue. Other times it takes something more - doing a ritual of acknowledgment, releasing a curse, stopping trying to win in a relationship now based on previous lives, etc. We know if we resolve karma if we don't continue to repeat patterns in our lives, either with the same person with which the situation originated, or different people.

The fastest way to resolve karma is to respond cleanly in the present moment, because it will have a ripple affect not only on this life, but on the other lives. Some keys for transformation include: remembering that everyone is divine and everything is sacred, treating ourselves like we would treat our most beloved child or partner, making the present moment the most precious, acknowledging what we need in each moment and embodying what we want from others (being internally validating), releasing any beliefs about anything so we can have a direct, personal experience, releasing the need to be in control/judge so we can witness with curiosity, releasing our entire past so we can be here now, embracing every day like it is our last.

You're very welcome - and thanks for interacting here!

Thank you Chris, the complete post is a rather timely reminder for me, the above standing out. Thank you again.

Love and light to you.

Sometimes I think I have enormous unresolved karmic debt since the work I've done has not seemed to remove obstacles.

[infinitytruth]

Do the records record dreams as well?
