Akashic Records 101: What They Are - and What They’re Not
When I first began my spiritual journey, I was searching for peace, a way to make sense of the deeper patterns shaping my life.
The more I explored, the more I realised that everything - thought, emotion, matter, even Spirit itself - is energy.
And once I understood that, everything began to make sense.
Qigong helped me feel that truth in my body. The way energy flows, balances, and restores harmony.
The Akashic Records helped me understand it at the level of my Soul; how my choices, lessons, and experiences are all expressions of the same living energy.
They may appear as different paths, but in truth, they point to the same remembering: that we are already connected to the wisdom we seek.
One works through movement and breath. The other through awareness and consciousness.
Still, I know this topic can sound a little “out there.” That’s why I wanted to write something clear and grounded - to demystify what the Akashic Records actually are (and what they’re not), how they’re accessed, and why they can be such a powerful complement to embodied practices like Qigong.
So if you’ve ever wondered what your Soul is really here to learn - or how energy moves not just through your body, but across lifetimes - you’re in the right place.
What Exactly Are the Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records aren’t as mystical or unreachable as they might sound. They’re not a faraway realm or a gift reserved for a few. The Records are a field of consciousness that each of us can access through awareness, intention, and respect.
Think of the Akashic Records as an energetic archive; a vibrational field that holds the energetic imprint of every Soul’s journey. Every thought, choice, and action leaves a trace.
The word Akasha comes from Sanskrit, meaning ether or sky. In essence, it refers to a subtle field of energy that stores memory, a shared space of consciousness that you can tune into for clarity, healing, and growth.
When you open the Records, you’re not reading literal “books”. You’re accessing a living field of awareness - beyond time and space - that reflects your Soul’s perspective, the bigger picture of why you experience life the way you do.
The purpose isn’t fortune-telling or prediction. It’s clarity, understanding, and empowerment.
You see, the Records don’t offer advice or tell us what to do. They don’t declare what’s ‘best’ for us. They simply reflect - recording the energy of our past and present beliefs, choices, and patterns.
Their power lies not in simply ‘accessing’ them, but in knowing how to work with the information they hold.
A Brief History
The concept of Akasha dates back thousands of years to the Vedic traditions of India. Later, in the 19th century, Theosophical writers such as Helena Blavatsky and Annie Besant described the Akashic Records as a “universal storehouse of knowledge”.
In the early 1900s, Rudolf Steiner spoke of accessing this field through spiritual perception, and Edgar Cayce - known as the sleeping prophet - gave thousands of readings referencing the Records as a source of Soul wisdom and healing.
While the language has evolved, the essence remains timeless: We live in a universe of consciousness where nothing is ever truly lost. Every experience is energy, and energy can always be read, understood, and realigned.
How People Access the Records
Different teachers share different ways of opening the Records. There’s no single “right” method. What matters most is your intention.
Some people connect through prayer or meditation. Others use guided pathways or mantras. But in my experience, the goal isn’t to drift into an altered state or “receive messages”, but to align your awareness with a field of higher truth, a neutral database that responds to precise, focused inquiry.
Like many people, I began my journey with the Akashic Records by reading every book I could find about how to access them. Those books offered beautiful insight, but I discovered that just knowing how to ‘experience’ the Records wasn’t going to change my life if I didn’t know what I was looking for or how best to utilise what I found there.
For me, real progress came when I undertook formal Soul Realignment® training, learning a logical method for asking questions and reading the energetic data with accuracy. Even with training, it took years of practice to develop this ability - not through special powers, but through patience and repetition.
If you’re facing real-life challenges - feeling stuck, confused, or caught in repeating patterns - working with a trained Soul Realignment® practitioner can be profoundly helpful. This approach translates energy patterns into practical, actionable guidance. It reveals your Soul’s innate gifts, the karmic lessons you’re here to explore, and how to realign your choices with your true Divine nature.
What the Akashic Records Are Not
Because so much online information turns the Records into something overly mysterious or dramatic, I feel it’s important to offer a more grounded perspective. Here’s what they are not , and why these distinctions matter:
🔹 Not a tool for fortune-telling : The Records reveal potential, not prophecy. They show the energetic momentum you’ve created through your past choices and beliefs — but they also remind you that you are a powerful creator, shaping your path in every moment.
🔹 Not a way to read others without permission:.Accessing someone else’s Records without consent is an energetic violation. Respect and intention are everything; you can only receive guidance for yourself or those who’ve explicitly agreed.
🔹 Not an emotional bypass: Insights from the Records invite understanding, not avoidance. A way to understand your past and present life choices and experiences with compassion. The wisdom they offer often points you back into your humanity, not away from it.
🔹 Not a replacement for professional support: The Records offer insight and awareness, but they’re not a substitute for professional care. Energy work and insight complement therapy, coaching, or medical care. They don’t replace them.
🔹 Not always easy to read for yourself: Because your personal emotions and desires can colour the message, it can be harder to stay neutral. That’s why practitioners are trained to interpret the field with clear boundaries and objectivity.
How They Support Real-Life Transformation
Used well, the Akashic Records help you see the “why” behind the “what”.
Let’s say you notice the same kind of relationship pattern repeating, like attracting partners who mirror the same wounds. The Records might reveal a karmic history related to self-worth, which may be one of the growth areas your Soul is working on in this lifetime.
Or maybe you’ve been feeling blocked in your purpose. The Records can highlight what your Soul gifts are, as well as the events in your past that have contributed to suppressing them.
This kind of insight doesn’t just give you information. It gives you choice. It helps you act with awareness instead of reaction. To realign your energy so that your outer life reflects your inner truth.
A Soul Realignment® reading includes a clearing of the energetic blocks that keep you stuck, restoring your Soul’s blueprint to its original state.
Qigong and the Akashic Records: Two Sides of the Same Coin
In my experience, these two practices belong together. Qigong helps you embody your light. The Akashic Records help you remember that light has never left you.
Qigong improves the flow of life-force energy within your body. It greatly enhances your physical vitality, while keeping you inspired and grounded. Most importantly, it calms your nervous system, creating the inner safety that allows Soul-level insight to land.
The Records, in turn, help you understand the deeper patterns shaping your experience, why certain lessons repeat, why particular emotions rise, and why, sometimes, no matter what you do, you can’t seem to overcome certain challenges.
Both work to realign your energy with your true nature: one through movement and breath, the other through awareness and truth.
Final Thoughts
The Akashic Records aren’t mystical or unreachable, but they are nuanced. They respond to intention, yes, but they also reflect our current perception. Which means that when we’re feeling emotionally charged, stuck, or searching for answers, it can be difficult to access them with the clarity we think we’re getting.
That’s not a flaw. It’s just human.
Even the most intuitive, self-aware people can struggle to interpret their own Records clearly. Not because they’re not ‘spiritual enough’, but because it’s nearly impossible to stay neutral when it’s your patterns, your questions, your life on the line.
You don’t need to place the Records on a pedestal - and there’s nothing to fear, either. They’re not a cosmic oracle or a spiritual shortcut.
They’re simply a tool - a powerful resource - for seeing your life through the lens of energy, choice, and truth.
And like any tool, the magic is in how you use it.
