Connecting with the Akashic Records is a spiritual practice that allows access to the energetic memory of the soul, where all the information about our past, present and potential future lives is stored. This tool offers profound guidance for those seeking to understand their life purpose, resolve emotional blocks and make decisions from a higher place. In this article we explore what the Akashic Records are, how to access them and what you need to know to perform your own step-by-step reading.

What is an Akashic Records reading?
An Akashic Records reading is a process of accessing a universal field of information that contains the history of each soul from its origin. Through this connection, it is possible to receive guidance, clarity and understanding about various aspects of life: relationships, health, spiritual purpose or blockages that require attention. It is a tool that favors self-knowledge and promotes deep inner transformation.
During a session, whether guided by a professional reader or conducted individually, contact is established with the akashic plane through a specific prayer or meditation. From there, messages, images, sensations or words begin to arrive, answering the questions of the client. This type of reading does not seek to predict the future, but to offer useful and coherent information for the present.
The messages channeled from the Akashic Records come from a high frequency of love and wisdom. There are no catastrophic judgments or warnings, but serene, compassionate and clear guidance. People who experience this connection often describe it as one of the most revealing and transformative spiritual practices they have known.
Can we all access the Akashic Records?
Yes, anyone can learn to read their own Akashic Records. You don’t need to have psychic gifts or previous spiritual experience to get started. What really matters is inner willingness, clear intention and a state of mental and emotional openness.
Although access is available to all, the depth and clarity of the experience may vary. This depends on the state of consciousness, consistent practice and personal sensitivity. In some cases, it may be helpful to receive initial guidance from an experienced reader before beginning self-readings.
How do I prepare to read my Akashic Records?
Preparation is a fundamental part of facilitating a clear and stable connection with the akashic field. It is important to dedicate a time in which you will not be interrupted and to create a calm environment that favors concentration.
It is also helpful to have a clear intention and use your current legal name during the opening. If you are going to combine this practice with another spiritual tool, it is important that you honor both systems equally, maintaining the focus and respect that each deserves.

Step by step to read your Akashic Records
Accessing your Akashic Records is a process that can be learned with practice and dedication. Below, we share a guide based on Linda Howe’s method, which you can adapt according to your personal style and needs.
- Choose the right time: Choose a time of day when you can be quiet and uninterrupted. This facilitates concentration and energetic connection.
- Create a comfortable space: Find a place where you feel comfortable, either sitting or lying down, avoiding positions that may induce sleep. Comfort helps relax the body and focus the mind.
- Silence or soft music: You can choose to be silent or accompany yourself with instrumental music without lyrics. The important thing is that it does not distract your attention.
- Breathe and relax: Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. Then allow your breath to flow naturally, while your mind quiets.
- Connect with the earth: Perform a short meditation, such as the Pillar of Light, or any practice that helps you feel centered. Being grounded improves stability during the reading.
- Recite the opening prayer: You can use Linda Howe’s Path Prayer or a version of your own that resonates with you. The important thing is that it is said with conscious intention.
- Ask your questions: Once inside, mentally formulate your questions and remain receptive. The information may come in the form of images, words, sensations or clear ideas.
What will happen when I open my records?
When you open your Akashic Records for the first time, the most common thing is to feel that everything remains the same. There are no spectacular experiences or extraordinary external manifestations. You are still you, in your usual environment, only with the possibility of accessing a deeper source of inner wisdom.
Information usually comes in subtle ways, through thoughts, sensations or mental images. It is important not to force anything or expect specific results. The key is to keep an open attitude, allow the process to flow and trust that what you need to know will be revealed to you at the right time.
How is the information received?
Information from the Akashic Records is received through the subtle senses, also known as extrasensory perception channels. These can be activated naturally or developed with practice and perseverance. Each person accesses the Records in a unique way, and it is not uncommon to use several channels at once over time.
Clarariaudience
Clairaudience is the ability to perceive messages in the form of words, phrases or even inner dialogues. These messages can sound like your own inner voice or a different voice, and usually come through with clarity and coherence when you are in tune with the akashic field.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance allows receiving information in the form of mental images, symbols or visual scenes. They can be concrete or abstract visions that arise spontaneously and offer important messages through visual language.
Clarisensation
Clarisensation manifests as physical or emotional sensations that provide information about a person, situation or subject consulted. It may be felt as heat, chills, pressure or an intense emotion that has no direct physical cause.
Claricognition
Claricognition is a type of spontaneous and immediate knowledge that appears without logical reasoning. It is as if you simply “know” a profound truth, without having deduced it, and this feeling is accompanied by a very clear inner certainty.

What questions can I ask in the Akashic Records?
You can ask practically anything in the Akashic Records, as long as you do so with a clear, open and respectful intention. The best questions are those that invite reflection, promote personal growth or seek deep understanding about your life and processes. It is preferable to avoid closed questions (that only admit “yes” or “no”) and focus on topics that help you evolve or resolve blockages.
- What is the purpose of my soul in this life?
- What do I need to know about this situation I am going through?
- What blockages do I need to work on in order to advance on my spiritual path?
- How can I consciously heal this relationship?
- What patterns do I repeat that come from past lives?
- Which decision is more aligned with my evolution?
- What is the lesson behind this conflict?
- How can I better connect with my intuition?
- What talents or gifts do I have undeveloped?
- What is the spiritual root of this physical discomfort?
How to be sure that the messages come from the Akashic Records?
One of the keys to identify if a message is really coming from the Akashic field is to observe the quality of the information received. Messages from the Records are usually clear, loving and non-judgmental. If a response generates anguish, fear or confusion, it is advisable to calmly cross-examine and check if it is being filtered through the ego or personal expectations.
Another sign of authenticity is that the messages bring a sense of peace and inner resonance, even when they are not exactly what you expected to hear. You can also validate the source by directly asking, “Is this information from my Akashic Records?” With practice and self-observation, you will learn to distinguish between a genuine perception and mental interference.
I can’t access my logs: am I doing it wrong?
Not feeling anything in the first few attempts does not mean you are doing it wrong. The connection with the Akashic Records can be very subtle at first and requires practice, patience and trust in the process. Many times, rigid expectations or the need for immediate results make it difficult to perceive the information.
Instead of judging the experience, it is important to keep an open mind and record everything that happens, even if it seems irrelevant. Messages may come in the form of gentle intuitions or spontaneous thoughts that only make sense over time. The key is to practice regularly and allow the connection to deepen at its own pace.

How to strengthen the connection with the Akashic Records?
To strengthen your link with the Akashic Records , it is essential to develop your subtle perception abilities. Daily meditation, energetic cleansing and constant practice of self-readings will help you to refine these channels. It is also helpful to keep a written record of each experience to recognize patterns and breakthroughs.
Another key aspect is to maintain a high and clear intention every time you access the akashic field. The more genuine your desire to receive guidance and act with awareness, the smoother the access will be. It is not about controlling the experience, but trusting that the information will come at the time and in the form that is most appropriate for your evolution.
Use automatic writing to channel
Automatic writing is a very useful technique for channeling information from the Akashic Records, as it allows you to record messages without the rational mind interfering. It consists of writing spontaneously, without filtering or analyzing what arrives, allowing the words to flow directly from the field of consciousness. When practicing it, it is advisable to start with a clear question and let the hand move freely, without correcting or judging what appears on the paper.
This method not only facilitates the reception of deeper messages, but also serves as a tool for self-exploration. Many people discover that when rereading what they have written, they find clues, answers and perspectives that they were not fully aware of at the time of writing. With practice, automatic writing can become a powerful channel to dialogue with the Records in a direct and effective way.
Having an Akashic Records session with a professional
If you prefer to receive clearer guidance or you are taking your first steps, a session with a professional reader can be an excellent option. This person acts as a channel for the akashic information and translates what they receive into words that are understandable to you, without judgment or interpretation from a personal opinion. Sessions can be conducted in person or remotely, and offer the opportunity to explore deep issues with support and support.
When choosing a reader, it is important that he/she inspires confidence and has proven experience in this practice. Each reader has his or her own style: some transmit the information as they receive it, others interpret it symbolically. What is essential is that you feel a connection with the one who accompanies you, as a well channeled reading can become a transformative and enlightening tool for your path.
