“The sleeping prophet” Edgar Cayce did his Akashic Record reading while in a hypnotic trance. Someone else (a hypnotist in the beginning, later his wife and son learned how to do it) led him in hypnosis and asked questions to him. Interestingly, Cayce himself didn’t remember what he had said in the hypnosis sessions. His readings were recorded by his assistant with shorthand.

Maybe because Cayce is one of the most famous Akashic Record Reader, I occasionally receive questions such as, “Do we need to be in hypnotic trance to access the Akashic Records?”, “Are you hypnotized when you do the Akashic Record Reading?” Some also asked if I access the Akashic Records by astral projection.

I guess there are various ways to access the Akashic Records. In my case, I don’t do it in astral projection. I don’t do it in the dreams, either, in my sleep. I access the Akashic Records by myself, without the assistance of hypnotist. Regarding the hypnotic trance or hypnotic condition, there is one thing we want to define clearly . . .

What is “hypnotic state”?
According to Dr Brian Weiss, the authority in hypnotherapy, the hypnotic state is not the unusual so-called “trance” state that many people think it is. He maintains that we often get into this hypnotic state in our normal daily life, as often as several times a day, quite naturally. It’s the relaxed state between sleep and full-activity awake-ness. It’s when you get the wonderful intuitive hits or notice great solutions that you ignored when your mind was so busy.

If we define hypnotic state this way, I guess I am utilizing it when I access the Akashic Records. However, I do know and remember everything I gather there. If I get a phone call while I am doing the reading, I can answer it with no problem and you wouldn’t notice it. (I don’t particularly like such interruptions, however.)

Our apprehension with spirituality
I think the idea of “You must be in special condition to access the Akashic Records” is just another variation of “You must be a special sage to read the Akashic Records”. It’s an attempt to stay away and ignore what you don’t understand at this time — you label it as something unrelated to yourself and put it away from your daily consciousness.

Is it so scary to admit we are spiritual beings?

Is it so scary to acknowledge that, beyond the physical part of ourselves that meet the eye, there are spiritual aspect to us that do not meet the physical eye? And, as spiritual beings, we may have abilities that you could not even imagine before? And that this may be true not just to some people but to all of us?

Well, I understand and feel for you. But this is the 21st century already. Let’s leave the dark ages of spirituality behind us.

In the next article, I will explain why I request the name, date of birth, and place of birth in my Akashic Record Reading. These information are used to locate a specific set of the Akashic Records. As long as I can specify the Records, I don’t need all the info really. Edgar Cayce, by the way, accessed the Akashic Records by the client’s name and location.

If, however, your question is a personal one, such as what may be happening to you spiritually or what is in your Akashic Records, I cannot answer it until I read your Akashic Records. In that case, please consider ordering your Akashic Record Reading.

The last article was about the qualifications to access the Akashic Records, that you don’t need to be a yogi or a sage but there are certain requirements. There are rules Akashic Record Readers want to follow for their own good as well as for their clients.

But what happens if someone who don’t intend to follow these rules get to learn the access method? Is there a safe guarding system for the Akashic Records?

Well, yes. In the Library of the Akashic Records, there are librarians. They are the special spirit guides — the Akashic Record Guides. All the activities in the Library are done through these Akashic Records Guides. I don’t run around in the Library looking for relevant information. I ask the Akashic Record Guides to bring me the information.

As I’ve been writing, the amount of information in the Akashic Records is huge. I don’t think we can get anything done without the assistance of the Akashic Record Guides.

When I access the Akashic Records, the first thing I do is to state my intention, that I am here representing my client and I don’t intend to do anything that is not in their highest path and purpose.

You don’t get any information until you pass this entry check point. I also heard that the Akashic Record Guides would provide false information to send away unauthorized intruders.

The intelligence of energy
“You said the Akashic Records exist in an energetic field called the Akashic field and we are using the traditional terms such as the Library of the Akashic Records just to make it easier to understand. How can a mere energy (field) tell the intention of a person and control their access?”

This is an excellent question you may have. The confusion comes from viewing energy as “waves”, as movement alone.

Energies are not just movements. Energies have intelligence. There are no brains but there is something that we have to call intelligence. Quantum physics is finding this out with various experiments.

To understand this intuitively, you might want to see the photos of the water crystals Masaru Emoto took in books such as “The True Power of Water”. The photos are also used in the movie “What The Bleep Do We Know?”

Water, which you may think as mere substance without intelligence, changes forms with the energy of words. Matter (energy that has takes physical forms) actually has intelligence and responds to the energy of words.

Protection system of the Akashic Records
So, to the best of my knowledge, it is unlikely that someone access your Akashic Records when you don’t know about it. It is very unlikely they find out your secrets or abuse the information or change your Akashic Records against your own will. The Akashic Records are protected by the Akashic Record Guides (certain forms of energy bodies).

I do suggest, however, to choose your Akashic Record Reader carefully. Accessing the Akashic Records, by yourself or through a processional reader, is something to be taken seriously.

Next, I will explain how I access the Akashic Records. Occasionally I receive email questions such as “Can you do astral projection?” and “Is this related to hypnotherapy like past life regression?”, so I’d like to address these questions.

I’ve been reading “Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy” by Dr Brian Weiss. I was pleasantly surprised to see him mention “the Akashic Records” in this book! The knowledge of the Akashic Records is gaining public recognition

Dr Brian Weiss is the psychiatrist who pioneered past life regression therapy. His first book “Many Lives, Many Masters” is an excellent read for those of you who want to know more about reincarnation or those of you who are suspicious about it. (The link takes you to the book review I did on Real Life Spirituality blog.)

While more and more people are learning about the Akashic Records, however, I am afraid there are some misunderstandings. The biggest one is the myth that it takes a super sage to read them. Well, I am no such thing, but I can do my work just fine . . . Thank you.

So I’d like to write a series of articles about how to access the Akashic Records. It’s not a one-on-one coaching but only a few articles to be read, so there are some limitations, but I will do my best explaining this.

Today it’s about the difference between reading your own Akashic Records and reading someone else’s Akashic Records.

Reading your own Akashic Records
It’s easy to read your own Akashic Records. It’s yours, so you own it. I think we are all supposed to know about our own Akashic Records so that we can navigate life with the wisdom. However, many of us have forgotten how to. So you can either practice reading them yourself — or you can find a proficient Akashic Record Reader.

The process is simple because you don’t need to access the Hall of Akashic Records. To know about your own Akashic Records, all it takes is to ask your spirit guides. Your spirit guides know everything about you, including your Akashic Records.

I will be writing about how to communicate with spirit guides later. Many of us already do this without thinking about it, but knowing a reliable method to communicate with your spirit guides comes very handy in our daily life.

Reading other people’s Akashic Records
In order to read someone else’s Akashic Records, you need to access the Hall of Akashic Records. The Hall of Akashic Records (also called the Library of Akashic Records) is not a physical building but an energetic database in this universe. You can access it from anywhere, anytime, but it takes a bit of . . . technique.

Okay, so what is that technique, you ask. Well, it’s not too complicated, but it takes caution to teach it. I’d rather not teach it over the internet to someone I don’t know. Reading the Akashic Records is a work that takes high level of responsibility and integrity.

Akashic Record Readers are like housekeepers. It’s possible to gather very personal information there, so the Reader shouldn’t be someone who would “open the drawer” out of mere curiosity.

Needless to say, the reader should not do the reading without the person’s permission. It’s like entering someone’s house without permission. If you come home one day and find out someone was inside, you wouldn’t like it, would you? Even if the person were a professional housekeeper and did the cleaning of your place, you would like it only when you ask her to do the work.

Also, someone who does too much work is no good even if they do it out of “good intention”. With the same analogy, this is like a housekeeper who cleans up the are she is not supposed to work on. An Akashic Record Reader needs to know exactly what they are doing, including their responsibility.

“But what happens if someone inappropriate learns how to access and read the Akashic Records? Can something like a computer virus attack happen, with someone accessing my Akashic Records when I am not aware?”

Next article answers this concern, so please stay tuned.

“Do I need to believe in certain religion or the New Age stuff to have my Akashic Records read?”

This is one of the questions I receive from someone who is new. So let me clarify: No, the Akashic Records have nothing to do with any world religion and you don’t need to believe anything to have your reading.

Whatever your religion may be or even if you are an atheist or agnostic, you have your Akashic Records. And by the way, I am not affiliated to any organized religion.

As I explain in the main page, the Akashic Records are the energetic records. I believe that, when the quantum physics develop further and find the way to measure the subtle energy that cannot be measured currently, the existence of the Akashic field will be proved. I just want to utilize the wisdom of the Akashic Records now to have a good life and to help people do the same rather than waiting for science to catch up.

You don’t need to believe anything. Also, I have no intention to change the people who is not interested. I am happy to help those who are interested, those who are meant for me.

I know some religions deny the idea of past lives and reincarnation. The modern Christianity may be one of them. I say “the modern Christianity” because I gather the idea of reincarnation was common at the time of Jesus and until Constantine and the following Roman Emperors changed the teaching significantly.

And my clients include many Christians and even Christian ministers, so no worries about that.

Okay, now that we are clear that the Akashic Records are universal and not subject to a certain religion, next we will discuss how to access the Akashic Records. Stay tuned.

P.S. For those of you coming from Real Life Spirituality and wondering why the posts here are so short. It’s because of the experiment I am doing here. This blog is written in Japanese as well. In Japan, many people access the internet by the cell phone. So I made the Japanese blog mobile-friendly and I’m keeping the posts relatively short.

You know everything is small in Japan

Hi, my name is Akemi Gaines. I am starting this blog to share my knowledge of the Akashic Records, things I have learned through reading many Akashic Records. Also, I am planning to write about related topics such as spirit guides, intuition, reincarnation, and Ascension.

Akashic Records are like a huge database of the Universe. But it’s not a physical database. You don’t just enter your name as you would on Google to get the Records.

The word “Akashic Records” comes from the Sanskrit word “Akasha”, which means “aether (ether)”. My understanding is it is the same substance that the Asians call “ki” or “qi”. (These are just two different ways of reading the same character “気”. The Japanese read it “ki” and the Chinese read it “qi”) Because the aether was considered to fill the Universe, “Akasha” also means the Universe or the sky.

Akasha is the primordial substance. All other elements (earth, water, fire, air) come from Akasha and eventually return to Akasha. It is the original form of energy that is subtle and cannot be measured by the current approaches of physics.

Akashic Records are energetic records of all the events, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that ever happened. Akashic Records also contain all the possibilities that can happen in the future. (“can happen” is the key here. I will write about this in details in the future post.)

Each of us has our own Akashic Records. And if we consider a person’s Akashic Records as a series of books, there is a library of all the books of the Akashic Records. We call it the Akashic Hall or Akashic Library.

It’s invisible but it exists — in a sense, somewhere in the sky. Your kind thoughts no one noticed, the knowledge and expertise you have acquired through many lifetimes . . . and more . . . they are not lost but kept somewhere.

Interesting, huh? I find it so interesting that I have been working as a professional Akashic Record Reader. I currently live in Oregon, USA, and work with clients worldwide. I love helping people with this service.

Before I finish, allow me to mention my another blog Real Life Spirituality. While this blog focuses on the Akashic Records, Real Life Spirituality is about spirituality in general in our daily life. I have been blogging there for two years, writing about spiritual entrepreneurship, spiritual healing, the Law of Attraction, etc.

Okay, so see you next week! Enjoy your (long) weekend. Next post is about the relationship of the Akashic Records and religion, or more like the non-relationship between the two.
